Settings and Adjustments Settings for the Sound (AUDIO SETUP) 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). 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) are converted to 48 kHz (sampling frequency). When the signals are output from the AUDIO OUT connectors, sampling frequency stays at 96 kHz and the output signals are converted to analog signals. • When you select "OFF," you cannot set "DOLBY DIGITAL," and "DTS." 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 pages 10 and 12. When you select "ON," set "DOLBY DIGITAL" and "DTS." 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 DOLBY DIGITAL Selects the Dolby Digital signals to be output via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors. You cannot select this item when you set "DIGITAL OUT" to "OFF." • 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. Note When you select "D-PCM," set Virtual Enhanced Surround (VES) to "OFF." Otherwise, the player will not output signals from the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL connector. 52
