Digital Audio Output
Each DVD disc may have a variety of audio output
options. Set the player’s Digital Audio Output according
to the type of audio system you use.
DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM: Select “DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM”
if you connect the DVD Player’s DIGITAL OUT jack to a
Dolby Digital decoder (or an amplifier or other equip-
ment with a Dolby Digital decoder).
Stream/PCM: Select “Stream/PCM” if you connect the
DVD Player’s DIGITAL OUT jack to an amplifier or other
equipment with a DTS decoder, Dolby Digital decoder
or MPEG decoder.
PCM: Select PCM if you connect a 2 channel digital
stereo amplifier. The DVD player outputs sounds in the
PCM 2ch format when you play a DVD video disc
recorded on the Dolby Digital, MPEG1 or MPEG2
recording system.
Sample Frequency
To change the Sample Frequency setting, first select
the desired Digital Audio Output as indicated above.
If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of handling
96KHz signals, select 48KHz. When this choice is
made, the DVD player will automatically convert any
96KHz signals to 48KHz so your system can decode
them.
If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling
96KHz signals, select 96KHz. When this choice is
made, the DVD player will pass all signals through with-
out down conversion, or processing.
Others
The DRC and Vocal settings can be changed.

alternates between On and Off.
Dynamic Range Control (DRC)
With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s sound-
track in the most accurate and realistic presentation
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 losing 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.
