USING THE T 577

AUDIO SETUP MENU

Each DVD disc has a variety of audio output options. Set the T 577's AUDIO
options according to the type of audio system you use.
HDMI/SPDIF (DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT)
Select the audio output setting for HDMI OUT or DIGITAL AUDIO OUT port.
PCM Stereo: Select when connected to a two-channel digital stereo
decoder.
PCM Multi-Ch (HDMI only): Select when connected to a device with
multi-channel decoder. This is applicable to HDMI OUT only.
DTS Re-Encode: Select when connected to a device with DTS
decoder.
Primary Pass-Thru: Select when connected to a device with LPCM,
Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS and DTS-HD
decoder.
Refer also to the "AUDIO OUTPUT SPECIFICATIONS" section of "REFERENCE
TABLES" under the "REFERENCE" main heading.
SAMPLE FREQ. (FREQUENCY)
Set the sampling frequency of the audio signal.
48KHz: If your receiver or amplifier is not capable of handling 96 kHz
and 192 kHz signals, select 48 kHz. When this choice is made, this unit
automatically converts any 96 kHz and 192 kHz signals to 48 kHz so your
system can decode them.
96KHz: If your receiver or amplifier is not capable of handling 192 kHz
signals, select 96 kHz. When this choice is made, this unit automatically
converts any 192 kHz signal to 96 kHz so your system can decode them.
192KHz: If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling 192 kHz
signals, select 192 kHz. When this choice is made, a 192 kHz signal
passes through without any further processing.
Check the documentation of your amplifier to verify its capabilities.
DRC (DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL)
You can select the effective dynamic range (subjective range from soft to
loud) for playback of Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital Plus soundtracks. It
is useful when you watch your favorite action movie without disturbing
others at night.
On: The "On" setting is for late-night sessions or other times when you
wish to retain maximum dialog intelligibility while minimizing overall
volume levels.
Off: To maintain full dynamic range, set to "Off".
NOTE
DRC setting can be changed only at STOP mode or when there is no disc
loaded.
