SETUP
pAUDIO ATT (attenuation)
Selects the setting of the output from the LINE OUT
(AUDIO), EURO AV (1, 2) and 5.1CH OUTPUT
connectors according to the audio equipment to be
connected.
• OFF: turns off the audio attenuation.
• ON: reduces the audio output level so that no sound
distortion occurs.
Note
The setting does not affect the output from the DIGITAL OUT
OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.
pAUDIO DRC (Dynamic Range Control)
Makes the sound clear with the volume turned down at
night, etc., when you play a DVD. This affects the output
from the DIGITAL OUT connectors only when "PCM" in
"DIGITAL OUT" is set to "ON," and it affects the output
from the LINE OUT (AUDIO), EURO AV (1, 2) and 5.1CH
OUTPUT connectors.
• STANDARD: Normally select this position.
• TV: makes the low sound clear even if you turned the
volume down, so it is good for playing at night. 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. When you use high quality speakers, it is
more effective.
Notes
• When you play DVDs without the AUDIO DRC function, there
may be no effects on the sound.
• When this item is set to "WIDE RANGE," the sound volume
from other than the 5.1CH OUTPUT connectors may be less
than usual.
• "WIDE RANGE" cannot be selected when there is the item you
have selected "NONE" in "SIZE" under "SPEAKER SETUP."

pTRACK SELECTION
Gives the sound track which contains the highest number
of the channels priority when you play a DVD on which
multiple audio formats are recorded. If multiple audio
channels are recorded in PCM, DTS, MPEG AUDIO or
Dolby Digital format, the higher-numbered channel audio
recorded in PCM, DTS, MPEG AUDIO or Dolby Digital
format is played.
• OFF : No priority given.
• AUTO : Priority given.
Notes
• When you set this item to "AUTO," the language may change
depending on the "AUDIO" settings in "LANGUAGE SETUP."
The "TRACK SELECTION" setting has higher priority than
that of "AUDIO" settings in "LANGUAGE SETUP" (page 46).
• If you set "DTS" in "AUDIO SETUP" to "OFF," the DTS sound
track is not played even if you set this item to "AUTO" and the
highest-numbered channel audio is recorded in DTS format.
• If PCM, DTS, MPEG AUDIO and Dolby Digital sound tracks
have the same number of the highest channels, the player
selects PCM, DTS, Dolby Digital and MPEG AUDIO sound
tracks, in this order.
• Depending on the DVD, the audio with priority may be
predetermined. In this case, you cannot give priority to the
DTS, MPEG AUDIO or Dolby Digital format by selecting
"AUTO."
pDOWNMIX*
Switches the mixing down methods when you play a
DVD on which 3 or more channels in Dolby Digital
format are recorded.
• DOLBY SURROUND: when the player is connected to
an audio component that conforms to Dolby Surround
(Pro Logic).
• NORMAL: when the player is connected to a normal
audio component.
* The setting affects the following connectors:
–LINE OUT (AUDIO) connectors
–DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL, COAXIAL) connectors
pDIGITAL OUT
Selects output signals via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL
and COAXIAL connectors.
• ON: Normally select this position. When you select
"ON," set "DOLBY DIGITAL," "MPEG" and "DTS."
For details on setting them, see "Setting for the Signal to
the Digital Output."
• OFF: when the player does not output the sound signals
via DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors,
if you select this position, the influence of the digital
circuit upon the analog one is minimum.
