pAUDIO DRC (Dynamic Range Control)
Makes the sound clear with the volume turned down at
night, etc., when you play a DVD. This affects the output
from the DIGITAL OUT connectors only when “PCM” in
”DIGITAL OUT” is set to “ON,” and it affects the output
from the LINE OUT (AUDIO 1,2), and 5.1CH OUTPUT
connectors.
STANDARD: Normally select this position.
TV MODE: makes the low sound clear even if you
turned the volume down, so it is good for playing at
night. It is especially recommended when you listen to
the sound using the speakers of the TV.
WIDE RANGE: It gives you the feeling of being at a live
performance. When you use high quality speakers, it is
more effective.
Notes
• When you play DVDs without the AUDIO DRC function, there
may be no effect on the sound.
• When this item is set to “WIDE RANGE,” the sound volume
from other than the 5.1CH OUTPUT connectors may be less
than usual.
• “WIDE RANGE” cannot be selected when you have selected
“NONE” in “SIZE” under “SPEAKER SETUP.”
pTRACK SELECTION
Gives the sound track which contains the highest number
of the channels priority when you play a DVD on which
multiple audio formats are recorded. If multiple audio
channels are recorded in PCM, DTS or Dolby Digital
format, the higher-numbered channel audio recorded in
PCM, DTS or Dolby Digital format is played.
OFF : No priority given.
AUTO : Priority given.
Notes
• When the player stores the settings in memory with the
Playback Memory function, the player may not give priority
even if you select “AUTO.”
• When you set this item to “AUTO,” the language may change
depending on the “AUDIO” settings in “LANGUAGE SETUP.”
The “TRACK SELECTION“ setting has higher priority than
that of “AUDIO” settings in “LANGUAGE SETUP” (page 52).
• If you set “DTS” in “AUDIO SETUP” to “OFF,” the DTS sound
track is not played even if you set this item to “AUTO” and the
highest-numbered channel audio is recorded in DTS format.
• If PCM, DTS and Dolby Digital sound tracks have the same
number of the highest channels, the player selects PCM, DTS
and Dolby Digital sound tracks, in this order.
• Depending on the DVD, the audio with priority may be
predetermined. In this case, you cannot give priority to the
DTS or Dolby Digital format by selecting “AUTO.”
Select “AUDIO SETUP” after pressing SET UP.
“AUDIO SETUP” allows you to set the sound according
to the playback conditions.
Default settings are underlined.
pAUDIO ATT (attenuation)
Selects the setting of the output from the LINE OUT
(AUDIO 1, 2) and 5.1CH OUTPUT connectors according
to the audio equipment to be connected.
OFF: turns off the audio attenuation.
ON: reduces the audio output level so that no sound
distortion occurs.
Note
The setting does not affect the output from the DIGITAL OUT
OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.
pAUDIO FILTER
Selects the type of digital filter to reduce the noise of a
frequency higher than 22.05kHz (fs 44.1kHz), 24kHz (fs
48kHz) or 48kHz (fs 96kHz).
SHARP: makes the sound clear and provides smooth
sound reproduction. Normally set this position.
SLOW: makes the sound warm and deep.
Note
Depending on the disc, the effect on the sound may be difficult to
hear.
