Bitstream: Select "Bitstream" if you connect the DVD Player's DIGITAL OUT jack to an amplifier or other equipment with a Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG decoder.

Off (for DTS): If you select "Off", the DTS signal is not output through the DIGITAL OUT jack.

Sample Freq. (Frequency)

If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of handling 96 kHz signals, select 48 kHz. When this choice is made, this unit automatically converts any 96 kHz signals to 48 kHz so your system can decode them.

If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling 96 kHz signals, select 96 kHz. When this choice is made, this unit passes each type of signal through without any further processing.

Check the documentation for your amplifier to verify its capabilities.

Dynamic Range Control (DRC)

With the DVD format, you can hear a program's soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presentation possible, thanks to digital audio technology. However, you may wish to compress the dynamic range of the audio output (the difference between the loudest sounds and the quietest ones). This allows you to listen to a movie at a lower volume without losing clarity of sound. Set DRC to On for this effect.

JPEG disc compatibility with this player is limited as follows:

• Depending upon the size and number of JPEG files, it could take a long time for the DVD player to read the disc's contents. If you don't see an on-screen display after several minutes, some of the files may be too large — reduce the resolution of the JPEG files to less than 5M pixels as 2760 x 2048 pixels and burn another disc.
• The total number of files and folders on the disc should be less than 999.
• Some discs may be incompatible due to a different recording format or the condition of disc.
• Ensure that all the selected files have the ".jpg" extensions when copying into the CD layout.
• If the files have ".jpe" or ".jpeg" extensions, please rename them as ".jpg" file.
• File names without ".jpg" extension will not be able to be read by this DVD player. Even though the files are shown as JPEG image files in Windows Explorer.

Playing a DVD VR format Disc

Grayscale gradient image with no visible text, symbols, or identifiable objects

Note:

- Unfinalized DVD-R/RW discs cannot be played in this player.

What is 'CPRM'?

CPRM is a copy protection system (with scramble system) only allowing the recording of 'copy once' broadcast programs. CPRM stands for Content Protection for Recordable Media.

This play is CPRM compatible, which means that you can record copy-once broadcast programs, but you cannot then make a copy of those recordings. CPRM recordings can only be made on DVD-RW discs formatted in VR mode, and CPRM recordings can only be played on players that are specifically compatible with CPRM.

Maintenance and Service
