The choice of which soundtrack is played can be
made either via the main menu of the DVD itself,
or by scrolling through the soundtrack choices
using the “Audio” button on the remote control
(page 24).

This setting only affects the “Compressed + PCM”
output. If a DTS soundtrack is selected, no signal
will be present at the “PCM Only” output.

96 kHz PCM

A few DVDs include a PCM soundtrack with a
sample rate of 96 kHz. This provides the highest
possible audio performance from DVD-Video discs.

If your audio processor will accept a 96 kHz PCM
audio signal, set this option to “96kHz”. If not, then
set this option to “96kHz > 48kHz”. In this case the
original soundtrack will be downsampled to the
lower sample rate to allow compatibility.

This setting affects both the “Compressed +
PCM” output and the “PCM Only” output.

MPEG Audio

Another technology used to store the audio
soundtrack on a DVD is MPEG audio. This was
proposed for use in Europe, but was quickly
supplanted by Dolby Digital by most film studios.
Very few discs include an MPEG audio soundtrack.

If your audio processor accepts an MPEG audio
signal, select “MPEG”. Otherwise set the MPEG
audio option to “MPEG > PCM”.
