7 DVD Setup Menu MPEG Out • Default setting: MPEG 3 PCM You only need to make this setting if you connected the player to another component (AV amplifier, etc.) using one of the digital outs. If your AV amplifier (or other connected component) is compatible with MPEG audio, set this to MPEG, otherwise set it to MPEG 3 PCM (MPEG audio is converted to more compatible PCM audio). Check the manual that came with the other component if you're unsure whether it is MPEG audio compatible.
