Settings and Adjustments
Settings for Sound (AUDIO SETUP)
Select “AUDIO SETUP” after pressing SET UP.
“AUDIO SETUP” allows you to set the sound according
to the playback conditions.
Default settings are underlined.
pAUDIO ATT (attenuation)
Selects the setting of the output from the LINE OUT
(AUDIO 1, 2) and 5.1CH OUTPUT connectors according
to the audio equipment to be connected.
• OFF: turns off the audio attenuation.
• ON: reduces the audio output level so that no sound
distortion occurs.
Note
The setting does not affect the output from the DIGITAL OUT
OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.
pAUDIO DRC (Dynamic Range Control)
Makes the sound clear with the volume turned down at
night, etc., when you play a DVD. This affects the output
from the DIGITAL OUT connectors only when “PCM” in
”DIGITAL OUT” is set to “ON,” and it affects the output
from the LINE OUT (AUDIO 1, 2), and 5.1CH OUTPUT
connectors.
• STANDARD: Normally select this position.
• TV MODE: makes the low sound clear even if you
turned the volume down, so it is good for playing at
night. It is especially recommended when you listen to
the sound using the speakers of the TV.
• WIDE RANGE: It gives you the feeling of being at a live
performance. When you use high quality speakers, it is
more effective.
Notes
• When you play DVDs without the AUDIO DRC function, there
may be no effects on the sound.
• When this item is set to “WIDE RANGE,” the sound volume
from other than the 5.1CH OUTPUT connectors may be less
than usual.
• “WIDE RANGE” cannot be selected when there is the item you
have selected “NONE” in “SIZE” under “SPEAKER SETUP.”
pTRACK SELECTION
Gives the sound track which contains the highest number
of the channels priority when you play a DVD on which
multiple audio formats are recorded. If multiple audio
channels are recorded in PCM, DTS or Dolby Digital
format, the higher-numbered channel audio recorded in
PCM, DTS or Dolby Digital format is played.
• OFF : No priority given.
• AUTO : Priority given.
Notes
• When you set this item to “AUTO,” the language may change
depending on the “AUDIO” settings in “LANGUAGE SETUP.”
The “TRACK SELECTION“ setting has higher priority than
that of “AUDIO” settings in “LANGUAGE SETUP” (page 44).
• If you set “DTS” in “AUDIO SETUP” to “OFF,” the DTS sound
track is not played even if you set this item to “AUTO” and the
highest-numbered channel audio is recorded in DTS format.
• If PCM, DTS and Dolby Digital sound tracks have the same
number of the highest channels, the player selects PCM, DTS
and Dolby Digital sound tracks, in this order.
• Depending on the DVD, the audio with priority may be
predetermined. In this case, you cannot give priority to the
DTS or Dolby Digital format by selecting “AUTO.”
pDOWN MIX*
Switches the mixing down methods when you play a
DVD on which 3 or more channels in Dolby Digital
format are recorded.
• DOLBY SURROUND: when the player is connected to
an audio component that conforms to Dolby Surround
(Pro Logic).
• NORMAL: when the player is connected to a normal
audio component.
* The setting affects the following connectors:
–LINE OUT (AUDIO 1, 2) connectors
–DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL, COAXIAL) connectors
pDIGITAL OUT
Selects output signals via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL
and COAXIAL connectors.
• ON: Normally select this position. When you select
“ON,” set “DOLBY DIGITAL” and “DTS.” For details
on setting them, see “Setting for the Signal to the Digital
Output.”
• OFF: when the player does not output the sound signals
via DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors,
if you select this position, the influence of the digital
circuit upon the analog one is minimum.
Notes
• When you play the sound tracks with 96 kHz sampling
frequency, the output signals from the DIGITAL OUT
(OPTICAL, COAXIAL) are converted to 48 kHz (sampling
frequency). When the signals are output from LINE OUT
(AUDIO 1, 2 ) connectors, sampling frequency stays at 96 kHz
and the output signals are converted to analog signals.
• When you select “OFF,” You cannot set “DOLBY DIGITAL”
and “DTS.”
