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 the Car DVD Receiver’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 or 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.
Dynamic Range Control (DRC)
With the DVD*

format, you can hear a program’s soundtrack in the most accurate and realis-
tic presentation, 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 qui-
etest ones). Then, you may listen to a movie at a lower volume without losing clarity of sound.
Set DRC to On for this effect.
*1: Dolby Digital only
Lock (Parental Control)
Rating
Some movies contain scenes that may not be suitable for children to view. Many of these
discs contain parental control information that applies to the complete disc or to certain
scenes on the disc. Movies and scenes are rated from 1 to 8, depending on the country.
Some discs offer more suitable scenes as an alternative.
The parental control feature allows you to block access to scenes below the rating you input,
thereby preventing your children from being able to view material you believe is unsuitable.
