DISPLAY
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.
TV Aspect
4:3 : Select when a standard 4:3 TV is connected. 16:9 : Select when a 16:9 wide TV is connected.
DRC (Dynamic Range Control)
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.
Display Mode
Display Mode setting works only when the TV Aspect mode is set to �4:3�. Letterbox: Displays a wide picture with bands on the upper and lower portions of the screen. Panscan: Automatically displays the wide picture on the entire screen and cuts off the portions that do not fit.
Vocal
Set to On only when a multi-channel karaoke DVD is playing. The karaoke channels on the disc mix into normal stereo sound.
