Audio
Settings
Each DVD disc has a
variety
of audio
output options.
Set the recorder's Audio
Output according
to the
type
of audio
system you
use.
Dolby Digital
/ DTS / MPEG
[Bitstream]:
Select "Bitstream" if
you
connect the
recorder's DIGITAL AUDIO 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 AUDIO OUT
jack.
Sampling 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].
When this choice is
made,
this unit will
pass
each
type
of
signal through
without
any
further
processing.
DRC
(Dynamic Range
Control)
With the DVD
format,
you
can hear a
program's
soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic
presentation 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).
Then,
you may
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.
