Settings and Adjustments
x TRACK SELECTION
Gives the sound track which contains the highest number
of channels priority when you play a DVD on which
multiple audio formats (PCM, DTS or Dolby Digital
format) are recorded.
OFF : No priority given.
AUTO : Priority given.
Notes
• 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 the
“AUDIO” settings in “LANGUAGE SETUP” (page 46).
• 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 audio channel is recorded in DTS format.
• If PCM, DTS and Dolby Digital sound tracks have the same
number of channels, the player selects PCM, DTS and Dolby
Digital sound tracks in this order.
• Depending on the DVD, the audio channel with priority may
be predetermined. In this case, you cannot give priority to the
DTS or Dolby Digital format by selecting “AUTO.”

Settings for the Sound
(AUDIO SETUP)
“AUDIO SETUP” allows you to set the sound according
to the playback conditions.
The default settings are underlined.
Select “AUDIO SETUP” in the setup display.
x AUDIO ATT (attenuation)
If the playback sound is distorted, set this item to “ON.”
The player reduces the audio output level.
Selects the setting of the output from the AUDIO OUT (1,
2) connectors according to the audio equipment to be
connected.
OFF: turns off the audio attenuation. Normally select
this position.
ON: reduces the audio output level so that no sound
distortion occurs. Select this when the playback sound
from the built-in TV speakers is distorted.
Note
The setting does not affect the output from the DIGITAL OUT
OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.
x AUDIO DRC (Dynamic Range Control)
Makes the sound clear when the volume is turned down
when playing a DVD. This function works only when
you play a DVD which has the AUDIO DRC function.
This affects the output from the DIGITAL OUT connectors
only when “DOLBY DIGITAL” is set to “D-PCM” in
”DIGITAL OUT,” and it affects the output from the
AUDIO OUT (1, 2) connectors.
STANDARD: Normally select this position.
TV MODE: makes the low sounds clear even if you turn
the volume down. 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.
Note
When you play DVDs without the AUDIO DRC function, there
may be no effect on the sound.
