Audio Settings
Audio Settings
Each DVD disc has a variety of audio output options.
Set the recorder’s Audio Output according to the type
of audio system you use.
Dolby Digital / DTS / MPEG
[Bitstream]: Select “Bitstream” if you connect the
recorder’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to an amplifi-
er or other equipment with a Dolby Digital, DTS or
MPEG decoder.
[PCM] (for Dolby Digital / MPEG): Select when con-
nected to a two-channel digital stereo amplifier.
DVDs encoded in Dolby Digital or MPEG will be
automatically downmixed to two-channel PCM
audio.
[OFF] (for DTS): If you select [OFF], the DTS signal
is not output through the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
jack.
Sampling Frequency
If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of han-
dling 96 kHz signals, select [48 kHz]. When this
choice is made, this unit will automatically convert
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 will pass each type of signal through
without any further processing.
DRC (Dynamic Range Control)
With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s
soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presen-
tation possible, thanks to digital audio technology.
However, you may wish to compress the dynamic
range of the audio output (the difference between the
loudest sounds and the quietest ones). Then, you
may listen to a movie at a lower volume without los-
ing clarity of sound. Set DRC to [ON] for this effect.
Vocal
Set Vocal to [ON] only when a multi-channel karaoke
DVD is playing. The karaoke channels on the disc will
mix into normal stereo sound.
