multichannel audio
correctly, the DOWN MIX

playing back a DVD VIDEO disc recorded with surround
multichannel audio.

SCREEN SAVER
A television monitor screen may be burned out if a static

The “screen saver” picture
appears and its brightness
changes.

Dolby Digital bitstream signal from DIGITAL OUT.
To enjoy the DOWN MIX effect from DIGITAL OUT when
playing back a disc recorded with the MPEG
multichannel or Dolby Digital format, set "DIGITAL
AUDIO OUTPUT" to "PCM ONLY" (see page 41).
• When playing back a disc recorded with DTS, you
cannot get the DOWN MIX effect from both DIGITAL
and ANALOG outputs.

settings in the AUDIO page of the preference display
are invalid. Settings for these items must be made from
