appliance, and have the cord replaced with an exact
replacement part by an authorized servicer.
Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted,
kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to
plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the appliance.

AUDIO
Each DVD disc has a variety of audio output options. Set the player’s
AUDIO options according to the type of audio system you use.
Dolby Digital / DTS / MPEG
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.
PCM (for Dolby Digital / MPEG): Select when connected to a
two-channel digital stereo amplifier. DVDs encoded in Dolby Digital
or MPEG will be automatically downmixed to two-channel PCM
audio.
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.
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.
