Menu settings  
• If you change the <Amplifier Gain> setting  
from <High Power> to <Low Power> while  
the volume level is set higher than “30”, the unit  
automatically changes the volume level to “VOL 30”.  
• After you change any of <Menu Language/Audio  
Language/Subtitle> settings, turn off then on the  
power, and re-insert the disc (or insert another disc)  
so that your setting takes effect.  
• When you select <16:9> for a picture whose aspect  
ratio is 4:3, the picture slightly changes due to the  
process for converting the picture width.  
• Even if <4:3 Pan Scan> is selected, the screen size  
may become <4:3 Letterbox> for some discs.

Through the analog terminals (Speaker out/LINE OUT)  
2-channel signal is emitted. When playing multi-channel encoded disc, multi-channel signals are downmixed.  
• DTS sound cannot be reproduced.  
Through the DIGITAL OUT terminal  
Digital signals (Linear PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG Audio) are emitted.  
• To reproduce the multi-channel sounds such as Dolby Digital, DTS, and MPEG Audio, connect an amplifier or a  
decoder compatible with these multi-channel sources to this terminal, and set <D. Audio Output> correctly.
