DVD Video—digital audio formats
The System can play back the following digital audio
formats.
• Linear PCM: Uncompressed digital audio, the same
Region
format used for CDs and most studio masters.
Code*
Number • Dolby Digital: Compressed digital audio, developed by
Dolby Laboratories, which enables multi-channel encode
to create the realistic surround sound.
2
• DTS (Digital Theater Systems): Compressed digital
or
audio, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., which
ALL
enables multi-channel like Dolby Digital. As the
compression ratio is lower than for Dolby Digital, it
provides wider dynamic range and better separation.
When playing a multi-channel encoded DVD, the System
properly converts these multi-channel signals into 2
channels, and emits the downmixed sound from the
speakers.
• To enjoy the powerful sound of these multi-channel
encoded DVDs, connect a proper decoder or an amplifier
with a proper built-in decoder to the digital output terminal
on the rear.
IMPORTANT: Before playing a disc, make sure of the
following...
• Turn on the TV and select an appropriate input mode on
the TV to view the pictures or on-screen displays on the
TV screen.
• For disc playback, you can change the initial setting to
your preference. See "Setup Menu Operations" on
page 33.
If " " appears on the TV screen when you press a
button, the disc cannot accept the operation you have
tried to do, or data required for that operation is not
recorded on the disc.
