Dynamic Range Control (DRC)

With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s
soundtrack 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 dialog intelligibility. 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.

B.L.E. (Black Level Expansion)

To select the black level of playback pictures, set your
preference and monitor’s ability.
- On: Expanded black level. (0 IRE)
- Off: Standard black level. (7.5 IRE)

FLD display

You can switch the FLD display of the Player to On or Off.
- On: The light of Display Window is On
- Off: The light of Display Window is Off

Parental control (DVD only)

Movies on DVDs may contain scenes not suitable for
children. Therefore, discs may contain ‘Parental Control’
information that applies to the complete disc or to
certain scenes on the disc. These scenes are rated from 1
to 8. Alternative, more suitable scenes are available on
some discs. Ratings are country dependent. The ‘Parental
Control’ feature allows you to prevent discs from being
played by your children or to have certain discs played with
alternative scenes.
