Video post-processing (lip-sync.)

Delay (NTSC/PAL)

Modern displays and video scalers often employ digital video processing that can introduce a significant video delay. The ‘Delay’ menu items allow correction of this effect by delaying the audio soundtrack up to 150 milliseconds. The amount of correction required in a given system is best determined by experimentation.

nIf the interlaced video outputs of the DV29 are in use and the display is converting the signal to progressive scan then we recommend a delay of 50–80ms, depending upon the display.

nIf the progressive video output of the DV29 is in use, the player corrects automatically for its own processing delays and it is unlikely that additional delay will be necessary. Therefore, start by setting these items to 0ms (no delay).

Trims

Trims for all the speakers can be set using the associated sliders. These settings are useful if the speakers have different sensitivities (and so have different volumes for the same input levels). The trims can be set in 1dB steps.

Subwoofer/Stereo+Sub trims

Both the ‘Subwoofer’ and the ‘Stereo+Sub’ trims control the subwoofer trim setting. ‘Subwoofer’ is the trim used when multi-channel material is being played; ‘Stereo+Sub’ is the subwoofer trim used with 2-channel material.

Access set-up

Password����������

The password setting works in conjunction with the rating setting (the next

menu item) to provide a means of limiting content playback by children (parental �������� �����������

control).������ ��������������

You will see there are four dashes and a padlock symbol. Normally the padlock symbol will be open and this means the parental control is unlocked. Under this condition the rating setting may be freely changed.

To lock the parental control, choose a suitable four digit number. Don’t forget your password as you will need to know it to unlock the player. Highlight ‘Password’ and enter your four digit number using the numerical keys on the handset. When all four digits have been entered, press OK on the handset. The player is now locked and you will not be able to change the rating setting.

To unlock the parental control, highlight ‘Password’ and enter your four digit number, followed by OK.

Note that a different pass-code can be selected each time that the player is locked.

Rating

The rating setting is used in conjunction with the password to restrict the content of DVD titles that may be played. To change this setting the parental control must be unlocked.

The term ‘Parental level’ refers to a standard defined for DVDs. DVD movies may have a parental level between 1 and 8. Note that this only applies to DVD video discs that have the parental level correctly implemented. Some DVD video titles do not respond to parental control settings, and Video CDs have no mechanism for parental control.

Once the rating level has been set, DVD titles with parental level higher than the setting will not play. Sometimes DVD video titles may be produced that have the parental level set for specific scenes, so a disc will play but skip or substitute certain scenes.

Completing the set-up

Complete the set-up procedure by pressing SETUP on the remote control. This saves all the data and closes the set-up menu. You can press SETUP at any time while in a menu to quit from it.

To return to the set-up menu at any time, ensure that there is no disc playing and press the SETUP button.
