When a disc has been incorrectly authored, the audio can be out of sync from the video. Audio Delay allows you to compensate for this by inserting a delay that repositions the audio in relation to the video and brings them into sync.
The delay is adjustable in 10ms steps and operates within a range of +/- 200 ms.
The digital outputs 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 stereo 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
The volume setup menu allows you to set up several
•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.
•mute setup — Gives you three different types of muting function.
•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.
