Overview
PCM Downsampling
(the settings you select here
only affect the HDMI output)
In many cases it may be necessary to limit the sampling frequency (also known
as the sampling rate) of the PCM output signal, e.g. if the sampling frequency
of a Blu-ray disc is 192 kHz, but the TV set connected to the system can only
process 96 kHz. Available settings are: OFF, 96 kHz and 48 kHz
Digital Output
(the settings you select here
only affect the HDMI output)
Bitstream HD
For best possible audio quality you should select Bitstream HD. This setting
supports the reproduction of all stereo and surround formats. However, this
setting does not permit the playback of Secondary Audio soundtracks.
PCM Stereo, PCM 5.1 and PCM 7.1
If you select one of these menu points, the primary and secondary audio
channels are mixed, and a signal encoded as PCM. Select the PCM setting to
suit your loudspeaker configuration.
Bitstream Mix
If you select this menu point, the primary and secondary audio channels are
mixed in the form of a DTS-encoded signal.
Bitstream Legacy
This setting only permits the reproduction of Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus
and DTS. The Secondary Audio function is not supported in this configuration.
Dynamic Range Control
Setting for dynamic limiting when playing Dolby Digital encoded discs.
If you prefer sound reproduction with reduced dynamic range, you can select
dynamic limiting at this point. The sound is reproduced with full dynamic range
at the OFF setting, whereas dynamic range is greatly reduced at the ON
setting. If set to AUTO, the machine switches automatically between the two
modes of operation in accordance with information on the disc.
Stereo Downmix
For playing back surround-encoded material please select the 'Lt Rt (surround
encoded)' setting; for playing stereo material please choose the 'Lo Ro' setting.
If you select the 'AUTO' setting, the machine switches between the settings
described above in accordance with the material being played.
