AUDIO
Each DVD disc has a
variety
of audio
output options.
Set this unit AUDIO
options according
to the
type
of
audio
system you
use.
Dolby Digital
/ DTS /
MPEG
Bitstream:
Select "Bitstream" if
you
connect the
DVD
Player's
DIGITAL OUT
jack
to an
amplifier
or
other
equipment
with a
Dolby Digital,
DTS or
MPEG decoder.
PCM
(for Dolby Digital
/
MPEG):
Select when
connected to a two-channel
digital
stereo
amplifier.
DVDs encoded in
Dolby Digital
or MPEG will be
automatically
downmixed to two-channel PCM
audio.
Off
(for DTS):
If
you
select
"Off",
the DTS
signal
is
not
output through
the DIGITAL OUT
jack.
Sample Freq. (Frequency)
If
your
receiver or
amplifier
is NOT
capable
of han-
dling
96 kHz
signals,
select 48 kHz. When this choice
is
made,
this unit
automatically
converts
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. When this choice is
made,
this unit
passes
each
type
of
signal through
without
any
further
processing.
Check the documentation for
your amplifier
to
verify
its
capabilities.
Dynamic Range
Control
(DRC)
With the DVD
format,
you
can hear a
program's
soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic
presen-
tation
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 to On
only
when a multi-channel karaoke DVD is
playing.
The karaoke channels on the disc mix into
normal stereo sound.
