Digital Audio Output
Each DVD disc has a variety of audio output options.
Set the player’s Digital Audio Output according to the
type of audio system you use.
DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM:
Select “DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM”
if you connected the DVD Player’s DIGITAL OUT jack to
a Dolby Digital decoder (or an amplifier or other equip-
ment with a Dolby Digital decoder).
Stream/PCM:
Select “Stream/PCM” if you connected
the DVD Player’s DIGITAL OUT jack to an amplifier or
other equipment with a DTS decoder, Dolby Digital
decoder or MPEG decoder.
PCM:
Select when connected to a 2 channel digital
stereo amplifier. The DVD player outputs sounds in the
PCM 2ch format when you play a DVD video disc
recorded on the Dolby Digital, MPEG1 or MPEG2
recording system.
Sample Frequency
To change the Sample Frequency setting, first select the
desired Digital Audio Output as indicated as above.
If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of handling
96KHz signals, select 48KHz. When this choice is
made, this unit will automatically convert any 96KHz sig-
nals to 48KHz so your system can decode them.
If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling
96KHz signals, select 96KHz. When this choice is
made, this unit will pass each type of signal through
without any further processing.
Others
The DRC, Vocal and PBC settings can be changed.

Dynamic Range Control (DRC)
With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s sound-
track in the most accurate and realistic presentation
possible, thanks to digital audio technology. However,
you may wish to compress the dynamic range of the
audio output (the difference between the loudest sounds
and the quietest ones). Then, you may listen to a movie
at a lower volume without losing clarity of sound. Set
DRC to On for this effect.
Vocal
Set Vocal to On only when a multi-channel karaoke DVD
is playing. The karaoke channels on the disc will mix
into a normal stereo sound.
PBC
Set Playback Control (PBC) to On or Off.
On:
Video CDs with PBC are played according to the PBC.
Off:
Video CDs with PBC are played the same way as Audio
CDs.
