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 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 connected
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, HDCD, 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.

5.1 Speaker settings

Select speaker settings, including volume balance and
delay time, or test the speaker settings.
Speaker settings are only active on the Analog Multi-
Channel Output. (See “Speaker Settings”, page 30.)

Others

The DRC, Vocal, PBC and Auto Play settings can
be changed.

Press 3

3/4

4 to select the desired item and press

SELECT/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 that playback time is long most 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.
