DOWN MIX

To playback a DVD VIDEO
disc recorded with
surround multichannel
audio correctly, the DOWN
MIX setting must be
properly made according to
your audio system.
Note that this setting affects
only the output signal from the ANALOG AUDIO output
jacks when playing back a DVD VIDEO disc recorded with
surround multichannel audio.
• Lt/Rt
Should be selected when you enjoy multichannel
surround audio by connecting the unit's ANALOG
AUDIO output to a surround decoder.
• L /R
0 0
Should be selected when you enjoy conventional 2-
channel stereo audio by connecting the unit's AUDIO
output to a stereo amplifier/receiver or television set,
or when you duplicate audio of a DVD VIDEO disc
recorded with surround audio to your MD, cassette,
etc.
• OFF
When you enjoy multichannel surround audio by
connecting the unit's 5.1-channel audio outputs to an
amplifier equipped with 5.1-channel inputs.
NOTES
• The "DOWN MIX" function does not work when the 3D
PHONIC function is activated.
• Some DVD AUDIO discs prohibit the 2-channel down-
mix. For such a disc, you cannot get the down-mixed
signal even if you set "DOWN MIX" to "Lt/Rt" or "Lo/
Ro" .
COMPRESSION
(only for Dolby Digital DVD VIDEO Discs)
When enjoying a DVD VIDEO
disc recorded with the Dolby
Digital format at low or
middle volume, setting
COMPRESSION to ON makes
you hear sound comfortably.
• ON
Audio is played back with the dynamic range
compressed.
• OFF
Audio is played back as it was recorded.
NOTES
• The "COMPRESSION" function works only when
playing back a disc recorded with DOLBY DIGITAL. The
setting is not effective for other discs.
