Digital Audio Out - Harman Kardon DVD 5 Owner's Manual

System Setup

Digital Audio Out

This setting determines the digital signal format
to be output from the optical/coaxial digital
audio output of the DVD5. The optimal setting
will depend on the digital decoder connected to
that output.
I PCM: Choose this setting if the decoder con-
nected to the digital output is able to decode
only normal PCM (only left and right front
channels) data rather than Dolby Digital or
DTS. PCM and Dolby Digital tracks will be
output as PCM datastream only, DTS tracks
will output no signal (see also comment in
"Dolby Digital"below).
I Dolby Digital: Choose this setting if you
connected a Dolby Digital receiver or decoder
to your DVD player, but without DTS decoder.
PCM and Dolby Digital tracks will be output
originally, DTS tracks will output no signal
(see also information note below). But with
virtually all DTS discs a 2-channel digital
audio track can be selected optionally (by
pressing the Audio button on remote, see
page 25), that will feed a PCM signal to the
digital output.
I DTS: Choose this setting if you connected a
receiver or decoder with Dolby Digital and
DTS decoding to your DVD player. Then all
recordings will be output and played
optimally, whether PCM, Dolby Digital or
DTS format.
To select Digital Audio Output format follow
these steps:
1. Press ARROW (UP or DOWN) on the remote
to select Digital Audio Out on the SET UP
MENU DISPLAY.
2. Press ENTER or ARROW (right), Digital Audio
Out Display appears.
3. Press ARROW (UP or DOWN) on the remote
to select specific Digital Audio Out Menu.
4. Press ENTER.
5. Press PLAY to resume normal playback or
RETURN to delete Set Up Display from screen.
Important DTS information
If you set the Digital Audio Out Menu to DTS, to
listen to DTS you must have your DVD player
connected to a receiver or DTS decoder with DTS
decoding and the disc you play must contain
DTS audio. If you choose DTS and you play a DTS
disc, but your receiver or decoder doesn't
support DTS, you won't hear any audio when
you play the disc.
