DVD Player Setup.


When a DVD player's audio is set up on the player itself,is it necessary to select the audio mode from the disc's menu?
Will the DVD play in the pre selected audio format?

RF,

If you set up the audio output in the DVD player, it is not necessary to set it up again each time you play a different disk. Once it is set up in the players menu, it should stay the same.

I've done this several times when I had a DVD player in a 2-channel system. I set the DVD players output to PCM and connected the DVD player to my DAC. I never had to go into the movie's menu to select PCM.

Enjoy,

All,

I think you guys missed my point. Sorry I wasn't clear. I assumed that RoryFan asked the question because he was using a DVD player in a 2 channel setup. Otherwise, I've never found it necessary to set the audio on my player (unless I wanted to listen to the DTS soundtrack in my HT system).

So, RF, if you are going to use the player in a 2-channel system, just set the player to PCM and forget it. If you are using it in a multichannel system and want to choose between PCM, DD5.1 and/or DTS, you'll want to set the player and check the disc menu.

Enjoy,
