AUDIO
Each DVD disc has a variety of audio output options. Set
the VCR/DVD Recorder Audio Output according to the type
of audio system you use.
Dolby Digital
PCM:
Select when connected to a 2-channel digital stereo
amplifier. The VCR/DVD Recorder’s digital audio is output
in PCM 2ch format when you play a DVD video disc
recorded on the Dolby Digital recording system.
Bitstream:
Select when connected to a Dolby Digital
decoder (or an amplifier or other equipment with a Dolby
Digital decoder).
DTS
OFF:
The DTS signal will not be output from the DIGITAL
AUDIO OUT jack.
Bitstream:
Select when connected to a DTS decoder (or
an amplifier or other equipment with a DTS decoder).
MPEG
PCM:
Select when connected to a 2-channel digital stereo
amplifier. The VCR/DVD Recorder’s digital audio is output
in PCM 2ch format when you play a DVD video disc
recorded on the MPEG1, or MPEG2 recording system.
Bitstream:
Select when connected to an MPEG decoder
(or an amplifier or other equipment with an MPEG
decoder).
Sampling 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 will automatically convert any 96 kHz signals to 48 kHz
so your system can decode them.
If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling
96 kHz signals, select 96 kHz.
DRC
(Dynamic Range Control)
The DVD format provides program soundtracks as accu-
rately as 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 Vocal to ON only when a multi-channel karaoke DVD
is playing. The karaoke channels on the disc will mix into
normal stereo sound.
