• CENTER SPEAKER EQ (equalizer)
Makes the spoken track clear by changing the frequency
response when speech is difficult to hear. A center speaker
must be connected to the CENTER connector of 5.1CH
OUTPUT for this function to work.
• FLAT: outputs the spoken track as it was recorded.
• ENHANCED: enhances the spoken track only.
• SOFT: makes the sound softer by rounding out the
sound frequency above 8 kHz. Select this when the
spoken track sounds shrill.
• 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 or DTS format. For details
on the rear signal components, see "Displaying the audio
information of the disc" (page 36).
This affects the output from the DIGITAL OUT connectors
only when "DOLBY DIGITAL" is set to "D-PCM" and
"DTS" to "D-PCM" in "DIGITAL OUT."
• 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.
• 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," "MPEG," "DTS" and
"48kHz/96kHz PCM." 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.
Note
When you select "OFF," you cannot set "DOLBY DIGITAL,"
"MPEG," "DTS" and "48kHz/96kHz PCM."
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
comjx_nent having a built-in decoder (Dolby Digital,
MPEG 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 page 11.
You cannot adjust "DOLBY DIGITAL," "MPEG," "DTS"
and "48kHz/96kHz PCM" if you set "DIGITAL OUT" to
"OFE"
