Digital Audio Output
Each DVD disc may have 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 connect the DVD Player’s DIGITAL OUT jack to a
Dolby Digital decoder (or an amplifier or other equip-
ment with a Dolby Digital decoder).
Stream/PCM: Select “Stream/PCM” if you connect the
DVD Player’s DIGITAL OUT jack to an amplifier 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 player 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 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 sig-
nals 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 all signals through without
down conversion, or processing.
Others
The DRC, Vocal, PBC, B.L.E., Pluge and DNR settings
can be changed.
Press 3 3/4 4 to select the desired item and press
ENTER. The setting of the selected item alternates
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.
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.
