Settings and Adjustments x CENTER SPEAKER EQ (equalizer) Makes the spoken track clear by changing the frequency response when speech is difficult to hear. A center speaker must be connected to the CENTER connector of 5.1CH OUTPUT for this function to work. • FLAT: outputs the spoken track as it was recorded. • ENHANCED: enhances the spoken track only. • SOFT: makes the sound softer by rounding out the sound frequency above 8 kHz. Select this when the spoken track sounds shrill. x DOWNMIX Switches the mixing down methods when you play a DVD on which rear signal components such as LS, RS, or S are recorded in Dolby Digital format. For details on the rear signal components, see "Displaying the audio information of the disc" (page 31). This affects the output from the DIGITAL OUT connectors only when "DOLBY DIGITAL" is set to "D-PCM" in "DIGITAL OUT." • DOLBY SURROUND: when the player is connected to an audio component that conforms to Dolby Surround (Pro Logic). The output signals which reproduce the Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) effect are mixed down to 2 channels. • NORMAL: when the player is connected to an audio component that does not conform to Dolby Surround (Pro Logic). The signals without the Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) effect are output. x DIGITAL OUT Selects output signals via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors. • ON: Normally select this position. When you select "ON," set "DOLBY DIGITAL," "DTS," and "48kHz/ 96kHz PCM." For details on setting these items, see "Setting the Digital Output Signal." • OFF: when the player does not output the sound signals via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors, the influence of the digital circuit upon the analog circuit is at a minimum. Note When you select "OFF," you cannot set "DOLBY DIGITAL," "DTS" and "48kHz/96kHz PCM." Setting the Digital Output Signal Switches the methods of outputting audio signals when you, connect 1. a digital component such as a receiver (amplifier) having a digital connector, 2. an audio component having a built-in decoder (Dolby Digital or DTS), 3. a DAT or MD via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector using an optical or coaxial digital connecting cord. For connection details, see page 10. You cannot adjust "DOLBY DIGITAL," "DTS" and "48kHz/96kHz PCM" if you set "DIGITAL OUT" to "OFF." AUDIO SETUP AUDIO ATT: OFF AUDIO DRC: STANDARD CENTER SPEAKER EQ: FLAT DOWNMIX: DOLBY SURROUND DIGITAL OUT: ON DOLBY DIGITAL: D-PCM DTS: OFF 48kHz/96kHz PCM: 48kHz/16bit To set, press , then ENTER . To quit, press DISPLAY . x DOLBY DIGITAL Selects the Dolby Digital signals to be output via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors. • D-PCM (Downmix PCM): when the player is connected to an audio component lacking a built-in Dolby Digital decoder. If you play Dolby Digital sound tracks, the output audio signals are mixed down to 2 channels. You can select whether the signals conform to Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) or not by making adjustments to the "DOWNMIX" item in "AUDIO SETUP." • DOLBY DIGITAL: when the player is connected to an audio component with a built-in Dolby Digital decoder. If the player is connected to an audio component lacking a built-in Dolby Digital decoder, do not set this. Otherwise, when you play the Dolby Digital sound track, a loud noise or no sound will come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged. 55
