Setup
Dynamic Range Control
You can listen at low volumes, but still hear dialog
clearly.
This is only active if your player detects a Dolby
Digital signal.
• Auto : The Dynamic Range Control will be set
automatically based on the information provided
by the Dolby TrueHD Soundtrack.
• Off : You can enjoy the movie with the standard
Dynamic Range.
• On : When Movie soundtracks are played at low
volume or through smaller speakers, the system
can apply appropriate compression to make
low-level content more intelligible and prevent
dramatic passages from getting too loud.
Downmixing Mode
Lets you select how the player will downmix multi-
channel audio into fewer channels.
• Normal Stereo : Downmixes the multi-channel
audio into two channel stereo. Choose when
connected to equipment that does not support
virtual surround functions such as Dolby Pro
Logic.
• Surround Compatible : Downmixes multi-
channel audio into surround compatible stereo.
Choose when connected to equipment that
supports virtual surround functions such as
Dolby Pro Logic.
✎ NOTE
` Be sure to select the correct Digital Output or you
will hear no sound or just loud noise.
` If the HDMI device (AV receiver, TV) is not compatible
with compressed formats (Dolby digital, DTS), the
audio signal outputs as PCM.
` Regular DVDs do not have BONUSVIEW audio and
Navigation Sound Effects.
` Some Blu-ray Discs do not have BONUSVIEW audio
and Navigation Sound Effects.
` This Digital Output setup does not effect the analog
(L/R) audio or HDMI audio output to your TV.
It effects the optical and HDMI audio output when
your player is connected to an AV receiver.
` If you play MPEG audio soundtracks, the audio signal
outputs as PCM regardless of your Digital Output
selections (PCM or Bitstream).
PCM Downsampling
Lets you set 48kHz and 96kHz PCM down-
sampling on or off.
• Off : Select when the AV receiver connected to
the player is 96kHz compatible.
• On : Select when the AV receiver connected
to the player is not 96kHz compatible. 96kHz
signals will be down converted to 48kHz.
✎ NOTE
` Even when PCM Downsampling is set to Off, some
discs will only output downsampled audio through
the optical digital outputs.
HDMI
• If your TV is not compatible with compressed
multi-channel formats (Dolby Digital, DTS), the
player may output PCM 2ch downmixed audio
even though you selected Bitstream (either Re-
encoded or Unprocessed) in the setup menu.
• If your TV is not compatible with PCM sampling
rates over 48kHz, the player may output 48kHz
downsampled PCM audio even though you set
PCM Downsampling to Off.
