With the options in Settings, you can make the Recorder work more to your liking. Use
these screens to set your preferences for recording quality, Parental Controls, and more.
Audio Settings
Your Recorder can send an analog or digital audio signal to your TV or A/V receiver. To
enjoy multichannel surround sound, you will need to connect the Recorder to your A/V
receiver using an Optical Digital Audio cable (not supplied). You should choose the audio
settings below to match the capabilities of your A/V receiver.
96kHz PCM Output. PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is the most common system of
encoding digital audio. Sound can be turned into digital audio data at different sampling
rates; the higher the rate, the better the quality. If your amplifier/receiver is compatible
with 96kHz sampling rate audio, then choose “96kHz.” Otherwise, leave it set to “96kHz
to 48kHz” (the default). PCM soundtracks are mono or stereo only.
Audio DRC. When watching Dolby Digital DVDs at low volume, it’s easy to lose low
level sounds completely, including some of the dialog. Turning on Audio DRC (Dynamic
Range Control) can help by making quiet sounds louder and loud sounds quieter. Audio
DRC is not effective if Dolby Digital Output is set to “Dolby Digital” (see below). In that
case, you must use your amplifier/receiver to adjust the dynamic range.
Dolby Digital Output. Dolby Digital audio soundtracks can be mono, stereo or contain up
to 5.1 channels (surround sound). If your Recorder is connected to an A/V receiver that
has a built-in Dolby Digital decoder, choose “Dolby Digital” (the default). Otherwise,
choose “Dolby Digital to PCM.” If you choose “Dolby Digital,” you won’t hear TiVo
sound effects when playing Dolby Digital content. If you choose “Dolby Digital to PCM,”
you won’t have 5.1 surround sound capabilities.
