Settings and Adjustments Settings for the Sound (AUDIO SETUP) "AUDIO SETUP" allows you to set the sound according to the playback conditions. The default settings are underlined. Select "AUDIO SETUP" in the setup display. AUDIO SETUP AUDIO ATT: OFF AUDIO DRC: STANDARD DOWNMIX: DOLBY SURROUND DIGITAL OUT: ON DOLBY DIGITAL: D-PCM DTS: OFF To set, press , then ENTER . To quit, press DISPLAY . x AUDIO ATT (attenuation) If the playback sound is distorted, set this item to "ON." The player reduces the audio output level. Selects the setting of the output from the AUDIO OUT (1, 2) connectors according to the audio equipment to be connected. • OFF: turns off the audio attenuation. Normally select this position. • ON: reduces the audio output level so that no sound distortion occurs. Select this when the playback sound from the built-in TV speakers is distorted. Note The setting does not affect the output from the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors. x AUDIO DRC (Dynamic Range Control) (DVD only) Makes the sound clear when the volume is turned down when playing a DVD. This function works only when you play a DVD which has the AUDIO DRC function. This affects the output from the DIGITAL OUT connectors only when "DOLBY DIGITAL" is set to "D-PCM" in "DIGITAL OUT," and it affects the output from the AUDIO OUT (1, 2) connectors. • STANDARD: Normally select this position. • TV MODE: makes the low sounds clear even if you turn the volume down. 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. This function works only when you are playing a Dolby Digital disc. 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. 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 44). The "DOWNMIX" setting affects the following connectors: - AUDIO OUT connectors - DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors (when you set "DOLBY DIGITAL" to "D-PCM" in "AUDIO SETUP" in the setup display) • 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" and "DTS." 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. Notes • When you play sound tracks with a 96 kHz sampling frequency, the output signals from the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL, COAXIAL) connectors are converted to 48 kHz (sampling frequency). The analog audio signals from the AUDIO OUT connectors are not affected by this setting and keep their original sampling frequency level. • When you select "OFF," you cannot set "DOLBY DIGITAL" and "DTS." 70
