DVD Player Setup
Menu Lang: This setting lets you set the menu
language of the DVD program.
NOTE: The options available are disc-dependent.
Some of the language options shown may not be
available on any particular disc.
Audio Settings Menu
Digital Out: This setting determines the type of
signal that is sent via the DVD player's Coaxial Digital
Audio Output.
• PCM
: This option outputs a 2-channel PCM
downmix of the original digital soundtrack via the
Coaxial Digital Audio Output (See Downsample,
below).
• Bitstream
: This option outputs the program's
native digital audio soundtrack via the Coaxial
Digital Audio Output.
HDMI Audio: This setting determines the type of
audio signal that is sent via the DVD player's HDMI
connection.
• Auto : This option automatically outputs the digital
audio format that best matches the surround-
sound decoding capabilities of the component the
DVD player's HDMI output is connected to.
• PCM : This option outputs a 2-channel downmix
derived from the DVD program's native audio
format via the HDMI output.
NOTE: The DVD player will not derive a 2-channel
PCM downmix of a DTS bitstream for output via HDMI.
If the component to which you've connected the DVD
player's HDMI output does not have DTS decoding
capability, set the DVD player's Digital Out to "PCM"
(see above) and on the connected component, select
the DVD player's coaxial digital audio connection
instead of the player's HDMI audio connection.
Down Sample: This setting determines the sampling
rate of the PCM 2-channel downmixed signal (see
above). Set this to the highest sampling rate that the
connected component can handle.
Note: The Digital Out setting directly controls
the content of the Coaxial Digital output, and in
conjunction with the HDMI Audio setting and the
audio capability of the connected TV, also influences
the audio content of the HDMI connection. See the
table below.

Dynamic Range: This setting makes the loud and
quiet parts of a movie or music closer to the same
volume (known as compression). This lets you turn up
the volume so you can hear the quiet parts without
the loud parts disturbing others. Nine different settings
(between maximum and minimum compression) are
available.
•
This feature only works with Dolby Digital
programs that have been specially encoded.
• This feature only becomes active if the Digital Out
option is set to "PCM" (see above).
