AUDIO
Each DVD disc has a variety of audio output
options. Set this unit’s AUDIO options according
to the type of audio system you use.
Dolby Digital / DTS / MPEG
Bitstream: Select “Bitstream” if you connect
the DVD+VCR’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to
an amplifier or other equipment with a Dolby
Digital, DTS or MPEG decoder.
PCM (for Dolby Digital / MPEG): Select
when connected to a two-channel digital
stereo amplifier. DVDs encoded in Dolby
Digital or MPEG will be automatically down-
mixed to two-channel PCM audio.
Off (for DTS): If you select “Off”, the DTS sig-
nal is not output through the DIGITAL AUDIO
OUT jack.
Sample Freq. (Frequency)
If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of
handling 96 kHz signals, select 48 kHz. When this
choice is made, this unit automatically converts
any 96 kHz signals to 48 kHz so your system can
decode them.
If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling
96 kHz signals, select 96 kHz. When this choice is
made, this unit passes each type of signal through
without any further processing.
Check the documentation for your amplifier to ver-
ify its capabilities.
DRC (Dynamic Range Control)
With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s
soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic
presentation possible, thanks to digital audio tech-
nology. However, you may wish to compress the
dynamic range of the audio output (the difference
between the loudest sounds and the quietest
ones). This allows you to listen to a movie at a
lower volume without losing clarity of sound. Set
DRC to On for this effect.
