This function allows you to select the outputs and format
for audio playback. Always select the setting that best
matches your amplifier’s capabilities and input connec-
tors. The “Bitstream” and “PCM” options refer to the
DPC-6.1’s digital outputs. See also “Other Audio Play-
back Options” on page 12.
Bitstream: Select this option if your amplifier is
equipped with a digital input (optical or
coaxial) and a Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG1, or
MPEG2 decoder. The DPC-6.1 outputs
digital audio information in the Bitstream
format when you play back a DVD video
with Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG1, or MPEG2
encoding.
Analog 2Ch: Select this option if the DPC-6.1 is con-
nected to the audio inputs of your TV set, or
an analog input pair of your external
amplifier. Note that even this analog
connection may allow you to take advan-
tage of the amplifier’s Dolby Pro Logic
processor.
PCM: Select this option if the DPC-6.1 is con-
nected to a digital input of your amplifier
and if you would like the sound to be
played back in stereo (e.g. for audio CDs).
If you select “PCM”, the audio data of DVD
videos with Dolby Digital, MPEG1, or MPEG2
encoding is automatically converted to 2-
channel PCM, so that you lose the surround
information. See also the table on page 29.
Dynamic Range Control
DVD
Dynamic Range Control allows you to “compress” the
dynamic range of a DVD’s sound track, so that you can
lower the volume without losing extremely soft signals.
This is especially useful when you are watching a movie
late at night.
Off: The full dynamic range is maintained.
On: Low-level signals are slightly boosted so as to
remain audible at a low volume setting.
Notes:
• This function is only available during playback of Dolby
Digital-encoded DVD videos.
• The degree of dynamic range reduction may differ depend-
ing on the DVD video.
Karaoke Vocal
DVD
DVD Karaoke discs sometimes also contain a vocal track
you probably don’t need for Karaoke applications. That is
why the DPC-6.1 allows you to switch the lead vocal off.
Off: The lead vocal track is muted.
On: If available on the selected DVD Karaoke disc, the
lead vocal track is output.
Notes:
• The Karaoke Vocal feature is only available during playback
of Dolby Digital-encoded (multi-channel) DVD Karaoke
discs.
• For optimum Karaoke enjoyment, be sure to use appropriate
audio equipment, such as an external amplifier.
Extended Audio Feature
DVD
Some DVD videos contain a special track that describes
the on-screen actions for visually impaired persons. Your
DPC-6.1 is set to automatically output this track if avail-
able. If this is not necessary, switch this function off.
Off: The Extended Audio Feature track is muted.
On: The Extended Audio Feature is active.
