Before Operation - DVD Part (Continued)

Sound

Digital Audio Output

Each DVD disc has a variety of audio output options.
Set the player’s Digital Audio Output according to the
type of audio system you use.

DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM: Select “DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM”
if you connected the DVD+VCR’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
jack to a Dolby Digital decoder (or an amplifier or other
equipment with a Dolby Digital decoder).

Stream/PCM: Select “Stream/PCM” if you connected
the DVD+VCR’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to an ampli-
fier or other equipment with a DTS decoder, Dolby
Digital decoder or MPEG decoder.

PCM: Select when connected to a 2-channel digital
stereo amplifier. The DVD+VCR outputs sounds in the
PCM 2ch format when you play a DVD video disc
recorded on the Dolby Digital, MPEG1, or MPEG2
recording system.

Sample Frequency

To change the Sample Frequency setting, first select
the desired Digital Audio Output as indicated as above.
If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of handling
96KHz signals, select 48KHz. When this choice is
made, this unit will automatically convert any 96KHz
signals to 48KHz so your system can decode them.
If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling
96KHz signals, select 96KHz. When this choice is
made, this unit will pass each type of signal through
without any further processing.

Others

The DRC, Vocal, PBC, Auto Play, B.L.E., Pluge and
DNR settings can be changed.

Press v/V to select the desired item and press
ENTER. The setting of the selected item is changed
between On and Off.

Dynamic Range Control (DRC)

With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s sound-
track 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.

PBC

Set Playback Control (PBC) to On or Off.

On: Video CDs with PBC are played according to the PBC.
Off: Video CDs with PBC are played the same way as Audio CDs.

Auto Play

You can set up the DVD Player so a DVD disc automat-
ically starts playing whenever the DVD is inserted.
If Auto Play mode is set to On, this DVD player will
search a title where playback time is longest and then
play back the title automatically.

On: Auto Play function is activated.
Off: Auto Play function is not activated.

Note

The Auto Play function may not work for some DVDs.

B.L.E. (Black Level Expansion)

To select the black level of playback pictures. Set your
preference and monitor’s ability.

On: Expanded grey scale. (0 IRE cut off)
Off: Standard grey scale. (7.5 IRE cut off)

Pluge (Blacker than Black)

For proper adjustment of your television brightness
settings utilizing a commercially available test disc.

On: Select when you adjust the level of your TV using a

commercially available test disc that contains pluge signals.

Off: For normal use.

DNR (Digital Noise Reduction)

You can reduce ambient noise in the picture.

DNR1: Normal level
DNR2: Expanded level.
Off:

Off

.

Notes

– Actual picture enhancement may vary depending on the

quality of the disc.

– While the DNR2 (expanded level) can provide additional

improvement in the reduction of noise in the video signal, it
may produce undesirable picture artifacts on some discs.
Should this occur, select a more appropriate DNR level (nor-
mal or off).

– Depending on the disc, some picture detail may be lost by

the picture enhancement.

– A DVD audio disc with Dolby Digital or DTS soundtrack may

be played, some DVD audio discs include moving pictures
which may be modified by the above processes.
