Video on a DVD disc may be either video material (originally shot on video) or film material (originally shot on film). Video material has a frame rate of 30 frames/sec.(NTSC), compared with 24 frames/sec. for film. This player converts film material to 60 frames/sec. (in progressive scan mode). PureCinema adjusts the picture so that it matches more closely the picture quality of a cinema screen. You can see whether video on a DVD disc is film or video material by displaying the video transmission rate. If a hash mark (#) appears next to the transmission rate display, it is film material.

Using the Initial Settings menu

The Initial Settings menu is where you can set preferences for language, audio and video output, and so on. If a menu option is grayed out it means that it cannot be changed at the current time. This is usually because a disc is playing. Stop the disc, then change the setting. Press SETUP and select ‘Initial Settings’ from the on-screen display. Select the setup category from the list on the left, then select an item from the menu list to the right. Make the setting you want.

Digital Audio Out settings

None of the Digital Audio Out settings affect the audio output from the IEEE1394 interface or the MSB network output.
