Digital output
The factory setting off ‘
All
’ means both coaxial and
optical outputs are on, and Dolby Digital and MPEG-2
Multi-channel sound is going to the DVD Recorders
output.
If your equipment doesn't include a digital Multi-channel
decoder, set the digital output to ‘
PCM only
’ (Pulse
Code Modulation). Both coaxial and optical outputs are
then switched on, and Dolby Digital and MPEG2 Multi-
channel are converted to PCM. If you are not connecting
to equipment with a digital input, change the setting to
‘
Off
’.

the 5.1 audio channels (Dolby Digital, MPEG-

3D Sound: In a setup without rear speakers (analog
stereo output), this option remixes the six
channels of digital surround (Dolby Digital,
MPEG-2) into a two speaker output, while
retaining all of the original audio information.
The result is the listening sensation of being
surrounded by multiple speakers.

disc format can be adapted to this Philips Recorder, after
