AUDIO ATT (attenuation)

Selects the setting of the output from the AUDIO OUT,
EURO AV (1,2) and 5.1 OUTPUT connectors according to
the audio equipment to be connected.
• OFF: turns off the audio attenuation.
• ON: reduces the audio output level so that no sound

distortion occurs.

Note

The setting does not affect the output from the DIGITAL OUT
OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.

p

AUDIO FILTER

Selects the type of digital filter to reduce the noise of a
frequency higher than 22.05kHz (fs 44.1kHz), 24kHz (fs
48kHz) or 48kHz (fs 96kHz).
• SHARP: makes the sound clear and provides smooth

sound reproduction.  Normally set this position.

• SLOW: makes the sound warm and deep.

Note

Depending on the disc, the effect on the sound may be difficult to
hear.

p

AUDIO DRC (Dynamic Range Control)

Makes the sound clear with the volume turned down at
night, etc., when you play a DVD.  This affects the output
from the DIGITAL OUT connectors only when “PCM” in
”DIGITAL OUT” is set to “ON,” and it affects the output
from the AUDIO OUT, EURO AV (1,2) and 5.1CH
OUTPUT connectors.
• STANDARD: Normally select this position.
• TV MODE: makes the low sound clear even if you

turned the volume  down, so it is good for playing at
night.  It is especially recommended when you listen to
the sound using the speakers of the TV.

• WIDE RANGE: It gives you the feeling of being at a live

performance.  When you use high quality speakers, it is
more effective.

Notes

• When you play DVDs without the AUDIO DRC function, there

may be no effect on the sound.

• When this item is set to “WIDE RANGE,” the sound volume

from other than the 5.1CH OUTPUT connectors may be less
than usual.

• “WIDE RANGE” cannot be selected when you have selected

“NONE” in “SIZE” under “SPEAKER SETUP.”

p

TRACK SELECTION

Gives the sound track which contains the highest number
of the channels priority when you play a DVD on which
multiple audio formats are recorded. If multiple audio
channels are recorded in PCM, DTS, MPEG AUDIO or
Dolby Digital format, the higher-numbered channel audio
recorded in PCM, DTS, MPEG AUDIO or Dolby Digital
format is played.
• OFF : No priority given.
• AUTO : Priority given.

Notes

• When the player stores the settings in memory with the

Playback Memory function, the player may not give priority
even if you select “AUTO.”

• When you set this item to “AUTO”, the language may change

depending on the “AUDIO” settings in “LANGUAGE SETUP.”
The “TRACK SELECTION“ setting has higher priority than
that of “AUDIO” settings in “LANGUAGE SETUP” (page 52).

• If you set “DTS” in “AUDIO SETUP” to “OFF”, the DTS sound

track is not played even if you set this item to “AUTO” and the
highest-numbered channel audio is recorded in DTS format.

• If PCM, DTS, MPEG AUDIO and Dolby Digital sound tracks

have the same number of the highest channels, the player
selects PCM, DTS, Dolby Digital and MPEG AUDIO sound
tracks, in this order.

• Depending on the DVD, the audio with priority may be

predetermined.  In this case, you cannot give priority to the
DTS, MPEG AUDIO or Dolby Digital format by selecting
“AUTO.”
