AUDIO
Each DVD disc has a variety of audio output options.
Set this unit’s AUDIO options according to the type of
audio system you use.
Dolby Digital / DTS / MPEG
Bitstream:
Select “Bitstream” if you connect the
DVD+VCR’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to an amplifi-
er or other equipment with a Dolby Digital, DTS or
MPEG decoder.
PCM (for Dolby Digital / MPEG):
Select when con-
nected 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 AUDIO 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 sig-
nals to 48 kHz so your system can decode them.
If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling 96
kHz signals, select 96 kHz. When this choice is made,
this unit passes each type of signal through without any
further processing.
Check the documentation for your amplifier to verify its
capabilities.
DRC (Dynamic Range Control)
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). 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 nor-
mal stereo sound.
