Installation and Setup

AUDIO

Each DVD disc has a variety of audio output options.
Set the player’s AUDIO options according to the type
of audio system you use. 

Dolby Digital / DTS / MPEG

Bitstream –

Select “Bitstream” if you connect this

unit’s DIGITAL OUT jack to an amplifier or other
equipment with a Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG
decoder.

PCM (for Dolby Digital / MPEG) –

Select when

connected to a two-channel digital stereo amplifier.
DVDs encoded in Dolby Digital, MPEG will be
automatically downmixed to two-channel PCM
audio.

Off (for DTS) –

If you select “Off”, the DTS signal

is not output through the DIGITAL OUT jack.

Sample Freq. (Frequency)

If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of handling
96 kHz signals, select 48 kHz. When this choice is
made, this unit automatically converts any 96 kHz
signals to 48 kHz so your system can decode them. 

If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling 96
kHz signals, select 96 kHz.

Check the documentation for your amplifier to verify
its capabilities.

DRC (Dynamic Range Control)

With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s
soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic
presentation. However, you may wish to compress the
dynamic range of the audio output (the difference
between the loudest sounds and the quietest ones).
This allows you to listen to a movie at a lower volume
without losing clarity of sound.
Set DRC to On for this effect.

Vocal

Set to On only when a multi-channel karaoke DVD is
playing. The karaoke channels on the disc mix into
normal stereo sound.
