digital output The digital outputs of the CDP-300 can be configured in any of three ways,
based on how you plan to use the player:
• off — for example, if you plan to use only the multichannel analog
outputs, and not send a digital signal along to a separate processor.
• raw — which passes along the native signal of whatever disc is playing,
whether that is PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS, or anything else. This setting
assumes that your external processor can handle anything you might send
its way.

• PCM stereo — if the soundtrack you are playing contains multichannel
information, it will be “downmixed” to a two-channel PCM signal that
would be compatible with stereo playback, or further processing with
Dolby Pro Logic II or DTS Neo:6 (as examples).

• max volume — The maximum volume screen allows you to establish a
maximum volume setting for your system. This scale runs from 0 to 100,
with 100 indicating that you do not want any artificial limit placed on
the maximum gain your surround processor can provide. This setting is
interactive. You can set the value to something less than 100, and then
adjust the volume to see whether it is appropriate.

• startup volume — Here you may select the level you prefer after the
units wakes out of standby. This can be configured two different ways:
last volume is the last level selected before the unit was powered down.
Furthermore, the status of the mute will be remembered. The specific
setting allows you to select a favorite level with the mute on or off.

• Classic muting literally mutes the output when you engage the mute
button; no sound will be heard.
• Specific muting allows you to select a specific volume setting that you
want used when you engage mute, regardless of what setting you might
have been using the moment before.
• Dampening works as most mute buttons work, attenuating the current
volume by the amount you specify.
