– Digital output
¶ Digital output selection enables you to specify
the type of digital output suitable for your
receiver.
¶ Select ALL (default setting), if you had connected
your DIGITAL AUDIO OUT to a multichannel
decoder/receiver.
¶ Select PCM only if your receiver is not capable
of decoding multichannel audio.
¶ Select OFF to deactivate the DIGITAL AUDIO
OUT.
Note:
– Digital output is not available for SACD and
MP3 discs.
– Analogue output
Select Stereo, Dolby Surround-compatible, 3D
Sound or Multi-channel. Factory setting is Multi-
channel.
Multi-channel: Select this setting when using a
multi-channel audio/(video) receiver with six
inputs. In this mode, the player will perform DTS
decoding or Dolby Digital 5.1-channel decoding
when applicable, and Dolby Pro Logic decoding
on DVD-Video and Video-CD discs with 2-
channel sound tracks. No Dolby Pro Logic
decoding is done with (Super) Audio CD discs.
Stereo: In this setting, the 5.1 audio channels are
down-mixed to a stereo signal. Select this setting
when connecting to a TV, stereo amplifier/
receiver, etc.
Notes:
– Multichannel output and downmixed
stereo output are not available
simultaneously.
– When multichannel is selected as analog
output, the AUDIO OUT (Left/Right) will
deliver the Centre channel data and not
the downmixed Left/Right.
Dolby Surround-compatible: Select this setting
when using an equipment with a Dolby
Surround Pro Logic decoder. In this setting, the
5.1 audio channels (Dolby Digital, MPEG-2, DTS)
are downmixed to a Dolby Surround-compatible
2-channel output.
3D-Sound: In a setup without rear speakers
(analog stereo output), 3D Sound remixes the
six channels of digital surround 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.
During DVD or Video-CD playback, these values
can be selected directly with the ‘SOUND
MODE’ key.
– Night Mode
When set to ON, the dynamics of your sound
output are optimised. High volume outputs are
softened, enabling you to watch your favourite
action movie without disturbing others.
– PCM Output
Allows to select PCM digital output between
48kHz and 96kHz. When 48kHz has been
selected, 96kHz PCM data, (if available on disc)
will be converted to 48kHz.
Some 96kHz DVD are copy protected. If your
PCM output selection is 96kHz, the digital output
will be muted to comply with the standards. In
such cases, select 48kHz to enable digital output.
– Karaoke vocal
Put this setting to ON only when a multi-channel
karaoke DVD is being played. The karaoke
channels on the disc will then be mixed into a
normal stereo sound.
