Settings and Adjustments

Settings for the Sound (AUDIO SETUP)

“AUDIO SETUP” allows you to set the sound according
to the playback conditions.
The default settings are underlined.

Select “AUDIO SETUP” in the setup display.

x

AUDIO ATT (attenuation)

If the playback sound is distorted, set this item to “ON.”
The player reduces the audio output level.
Selects the setting of the output from the AUDIO OUT
and LINE-1, 2 connectors according to the audio
equipment to be connected.
• OFF: turns off the audio attenuation. Normally select

this position.

• ON: reduces the audio output level so that no sound

distortion occurs. Select this when the playback sound
from the built-in TV speakers is distorted.

Note

The setting does not affect the output from the DIGITAL OUT
OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.

x

AUDIO DRC (Dynamic Range Control)

(DVD only)
Makes the sound clear when the volume is turned down
when playing a DVD. This function works only when
you play a DVD which has the AUDIO DRC function.
This affects the output from the DIGITAL OUT connectors
only when “DOLBY DIGITAL” is set to “D-PCM” and
“MPEG” is set to “PCM” in ”DIGITAL OUT.”
• STANDARD: Normally select this position.
• TV MODE: makes the low sounds clear even if you turn

the volume down. 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. This function works only when you are
playing a Dolby Digital disc. When you use high
quality speakers, it is more effective.

Note

When you play DVDs without the AUDIO DRC function, there
may be no effect on the sound.

x

DOWNMIX

Switches the mixing down methods when you play a
DVD on which rear signal components such as LS, RS or S
are recorded in Dolby Digital format. For details on the
rear signal components, see “Displaying the audio
information of the disc” (page 48).
The “DOWNMIX” setting affects the following
connectors:
– AUDIO OUT connectors
– DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors

(when you set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “D-PCM” in
“AUDIO SETUP” in the setup display)

• DOLBY SURROUND: when the player is connected to

an audio component that conforms to Dolby Surround
(Pro Logic). The output signals which reproduce the
Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) effect are mixed down to 2
channels.

• NORMAL: when the player is connected to an audio

component that does not conform to Dolby Surround
(Pro Logic). The signals without the Dolby Surround
(Pro Logic) effect are output.

x

DIGITAL OUT

Selects output signals via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL
and COAXIAL connectors.
• ON: Normally select this position. When you select

“ON,” set “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “MPEG,” and “DTS.”
For details on setting these items, see “Setting the
Digital Output Signal.”

• OFF: when the player does not output the sound signals

via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL
connectors, the influence of the digital circuit upon the
analog circuit is at a minimum.

Notes

• When you play sound tracks with a 96 kHz sampling

frequency, the output signals from the DIGITAL OUT
(OPTICAL, COAXIAL) connectors are converted to 48 kHz
(sampling frequency). The analog audio signals from the
AUDIO OUT connectors are not affected by this setting and
keep their original sampling frequency level.

• When you select “OFF,” you cannot set “DOLBY DIGITAL,”

“MPEG” and “DTS.”
