Digital output
•
[RAW]: Select this setting if the DIGITAL AUDIO
OUT socket on the recorder is connected to an
amplifier or other device with Dolby Digital, DTS
or MPEG decoder.
•
[PCM] (for Dolby Digital/MPEG): Select this set-
ting if a dual channel stereo amplifier is con-
nected to the recorder. Dolby Digital or MPEG
encoded DVDs are converted automatically to the
dual channel PCM sound format.
•
[Automatic]: Signal digital output configured au-
tomatically in line with the audio data on the disc.
•
[Off] (for DTS): If "Off" is selected, the DTS signal
is not transmitted via the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
socket.
LPCM (sampling frequency)
•
[48 k]: Select this setting if your receiver or ampli-
fier IS NOT designed for 96 k signals. The unit
converts high-frequency signals into 48k signals
that the system is able to decode.
•
[96k]: Select this setting if your receiver or ampli-
fier IS designed for 96 k signals. The device
transfers the individual signal types without sub-
sequent processing.
Dynamic
Activate the dynamic output setting to optimise the
dynamics (ratio between quiet and loud scenes).
This setting allows you to watch a motion picture at a
low volume without losing the sound quality. Set the
DRC to [Full] or [Center].
Select [Off] to hear the original sound.
