NOTES: Analogue and digital audio signals cannot output simultaneously. This player has a conversion function for converting Dolby® Digital and MPEG audio into the LPCM format. This allows playback of CDs with the regular playback system without the need for a special converter.

PROLOGIC

ProLogic Mode will create pseudo 5.1 Sound from normal stereo.

DUAL MONO

There are four available modes: STEREO, L-MONO, R-MONO, and MIX-MONO.

COMPRESSION

„Compression Range“ is the difference between the maximum level and the minimum level of sounds. Sounds on a movie originally designed for movie theaters feature a very wide compression range, so sometimes it is not suitable for home use. Depending on the condition of your listening environment, Compression function can reduce the instant sound effect alteration of the movie while playing back. When seeing movies in the night, turn this function on to avoid the suddenly loud sound to influence your neighbors. (Default value is FULL, no compression to be done.)

NOTES: This function works only during playback of Dolby Digital recorded discs. The level of Dynamic Range Reduction may differ depending on the DVD discs.

Linear PCM setup

This option sets the audio output format sent using the unit's coaxial digital audio output.

Linear PCM OUT

- LPCM 48K - In the Linear PCM setting, "48K" means "the digital audio output maximum sampling rate is 48KHz"; therefore, when the title's encoding sampling rate* is 96KHz, the output will be forced converted to 48KHz.

- LPCM 96K - If "96K" is selected, then the maximum output sampling rate is 96KHz and no conversion will take place.
