Anyone tell me what is the correct audio setting for my DVD player? (1 Viewer)

Anyone tell me what is the correct audio setting for my DVD player? I've have a Pioneer Universal DVD player that hook up to my Int Amp with RCA cable for stereo not 5.1 or 7.1. Here are the current audio set up on my DVD player. Can anyone tell me what are each changes suppose to do and am I have it set up properly?

MPEG > PCM : MPEG encoded digital audio is converted to PCM audio for digital output.

96kHz > 48kHz : 96 kHz digital audio is converted to 48 kHz for digital output.

96kHz : 96 kHz digital audio is output as is at 96 kHz.

Dolby Digital > PCM : Dolby Digital audio is converted to PCM audio before being output.

DTS Off : No digital audio is output when playing a DTS disc.

Digital Out OFF : No digital audio output.

If you are using the analog (L/R) outputs, none of those settings makes any difference.

First off, as JohnRice said, none of that matters with the L/R analog connection. The most you can get with the analogs is 2.0 Pro-Logic surround, which is underwhelming at best. If your A/V receiver has Dolby Digital, you need a digital coax or optical connection to get full 5.1 DD surround sound. Once you have this connection the settings should be as follows:

MPEG > PCM : MPEG encoded digital audio is converted to PCM audio for digital output.

"Off"

96kHz > 48kHz : 96 kHz digital audio is converted to 48 kHz for digital output.

96kHz : 96 kHz digital audio is output as is at 96 kHz.

Depends on your receiver, but "96kHz" is probably fine.

Dolby Digital > PCM : Dolby Digital audio is converted to PCM audio before being output.

Should be "Bitstream" or whatever the opposite of "PCM" is.

DTS Off : No digital audio is output when playing a DTS disc.

If your receiver is DTS capable, this should be "On".

Digital Out OFF : No digital audio output.

"On"

Some receivers can decode MPEG audio, but some can't, in which case you'd have to have it convert to PCM. An older player I have needs the analog jacks hooked up to hear MPEG on my receiver.
