Default settings are underlined.
pAUDIO ATT (attenuation)
Selects the setting of the output from the LINE OUT
(AUDIO 1, 2) 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 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) 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.
Note
When you play DVDs without the AUDIO DRC function, there
may be no effect on the sound.
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, MPEG AUDIO or
Dolby Digital format, the higher-numbered channel audio
recorded in PCM, DTS, MPEG AUDIO or Dolby Digital
format is played.
• 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
that of “AUDIO” settings in “LANGUAGE SETUP” (page 50).
• 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, MPEG AUDIO and Dolby Digital sound tracks
have the same number of the highest channels, the player
selects PCM, DTS, Dolby Digital and MPEG AUDIO 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, MPEG AUDIO or Dolby Digital format by selecting
“AUTO.”
pDOWNMIX*
Switches the mixing down methods when you play a
DVD on which 3 or more channels in Dolby Digital
format is recorded.
• DOLBY SURROUND: when the player is connected to
an audio component that conforms to Dolby Surround
(Pro Logic).
• NORMAL: when the player is connected to a normal
audio component.
* The setting affects the following connectors:
–LINE OUT (AUDIO 1, 2) connectors
–DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL, COAXIAL) connectors.
