Dynamic Range Control
DVD-V
Off: Full dynamic range is maintained.
On: Dynamic range is reduced.
Notes
• This function works only during playback of Dolby
Digital recorded discs.
• The level of Dynamic Range Reduction may differ
depending on the DVD disc.
PCM Down Sampling
DVD-V
Make this selection only when you use your audio
equipment (e.g. receiver) connecting to the DVD
player via the BITSTREAM/PCM (DIGITAL) AUDIO
OUT jack.
According to performance of your connected receiver,
select a sound processing option for playback of a
disc that contains high frequency signals (sampling
frequency 96 kHz).
Off: Select when your connected receiver processes
high frequency signals of 96 kHz.
The DVD player outputs these signals as they
are on the disc.
On: Select when your connected receiver does not
process high frequency signals of 96 kHz.
The DVD player outputs these signals in a disc
depressing the frequencies to 48 kHz.
Notes
• Regardless of this setting, high frequency signals on a
DVD disc are down-converted to 48 kHz if that disc is
copy protected.
• If you select “Off” because your connected receiver
does not process high frequency signals of 96 kHz, you
will not hear output sound from those signals.
