a
Dolby Digital
decoder
(or
an
amplifier
or other

ment with a
Dolby Digital decoder).

handling
96KHz

automatically
convert
any

Dynamic Range
Control
(DRC)
With the DVD
format,
you
can hear a
program's
sound-
track 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).
Then,
you may
listen to a movie
at a lower volume without
losing clarity
of sound. Set
DRC to On for this effect.
Vocal
Set Vocal to On
only
when a multi-channel karaoke DVD
is
playing.
The karaoke channels on the disc will mix
into normal stereo sound.
PBC
Set
Playback
Control
(PBC)
to On or Off.
On: Video CDs with PBC are
played according
to the PBC.
Off: Video CDs with PBC are
played
the same
way
as Audio
CDs.
