ENGLISH
To get the best possible audio via HDMI, you may need to set the
following options on the DVD99s setup menu, depending on your HDMI-
capable receiver/display configuration:
• No Surround Speakers (such as a TV): If the receiver or TV does not
have surround speakers, please set the Speaker Setup Page > Down-
mix to "Stereo" or "V. Surround". Also set the Audio Setup Page > HDMI
Audio to "Multi-Channel". Alternatively, you may set Audio Setup Page
> HDMI Audio to "SPDIF" and Audio Setup Page > SPDIF Output to
"PCM".
• Surround and Dolby Digital or DTS Support, or HDMI 1.0: If the audio
system has surround speakers and can support Dolby Digital or DTS
with its HDMI input, please set Audio Setup Page > HDMI Audio to
"SPDIF" AND Audio Setup Page > SPDIF Output to "Raw". In this case
your audio system will perform decoding for Dolby Digital or DTS
surround audio. Unfortunately the HDMI standard does not allow DVD-
Audio or SACD to be sent over HDMI in this configuration.
SACD over HDMI
Use to set the relevant HDMI version that your receiver supports
PCM – Forces down-mixed 2-channel digital audio output. Choose this
setting if your receiver/amplifier only supports stereo digital (PCM)
audio.
DSD – (Direct-Stream Digital) is the trademark name used by Sony and
Philips for their system of recreating audible frequencies which uses
pulse-density modulation encoding, a technology to store audio signals
on digital storage media which is used for the Super Audio CD (SACD).
Dolby Digital Setup
To configure the Dolby Digital decoder. Press the ENTER button to enter
the Dolby Digital Setup page (use the button to exit).
A. Dual Mono
Choose the output for Dolby Digital discs encoded with two independent
audio channels, such as bilingual programs. The options are:
Stereo – Stereo output
L-Mono – Left channel output to both Left and Right speakers.
R-Mono – Right channel output to both Left and Right speakers.
Mix Mono – Left and Right channels mixed to both Left and Right
speakers.
B. Dynamic
Use to set the Dynamic Range Compression (DRC). DRC can smooth out
the sonic peaks and valleys common with wide-range digital audio.
Increasing DRC may make low level audio more audible during low-level
listening. Decreasing or turning off DRC restores the sonic energy
present in the original recording.
