TV: This option allows you to set the following display parameters:
Aspect Ratio: This option lets you select how you want 4:3 programs displayed on a 16:9 TV, or 16:9 programs displayed on a 4:3 TV. “16:9 Full” stretches 4:3 material to fill a 16:9 TV screen. “16:9 Normal” displays 4:3 material on a 16:9 TV with black boxes on either side of the picture, preserving the program’s original visual composition without distortion. “4:3 Pan & Scan” zooms in on widescreen material to fill a 4:3 screen. “4:3 Letterbox” displays 16:9 material with black bars above and below the picture, preserving the program’s original visual composition without distortion.

Audio output: This option lets you set the following items:
HDMI Audio Out: In addition to digital video signals, the BDS receiver’s HDMI connection also carries digital audio signals.
•• PCM: This option outputs a
•• Off: This option turns the receiver’s HDMI audio output off. We recommend setting this option to “Off,” so you can take full advantage of the superior audio capability of your BDS receiver.
Dynamic Range Control: This setting makes the loud and quiet parts of a movie or music closer to the same volume (a process known as compression). Compression lets you turn up the volume so you can hear the quiet parts without the loud parts disturbing other people. NOTE: This feature works only with Dolby Digital programs that have been specially encoded. Three settings are available:
•• Off: Never applies compression. Use this setting when the volume may be as loud as you desire.
•• On: Always applies compression. Use this setting when you want the volume to be as quiet as possible without making it difficult to hear spoken dialogue.
•• Auto: Applies compression based on information encoded in the Dolby Digital bitstream. The receiver will selectively apply compression only during the most dynamic parts of the soundtrack.
Speaker Settings: This option allows you to set up the receiver to work properly with your speakers. There are two options:
•• EzSet/EQ: This option makes the supplied EzSet/EQ microphone automatically detect the capabilities of each connected speaker and optimize the BDS receiver’s performance for your speakers. This will provide excellent results in most installations.
•• Manual Configuration: This option lets you manually configure the BDS receiver to work with your speakers. Select this option if you wish to set up the receiver for your speakers manually or if you are unable to run EzSet/EQ calibration.
With both options, the first step is to select the configuration of your speaker system:
•• 2.0: This configuration consists of left and right main speakers but no subwoofer. Selecting this configuration sends all of the bass to the left and right speakers, so be sure that they are
•• 2.1: This configuration consists of left and right main speakers, plus a subwoofer.
•• 3.1: This configuration consists of front left, center and front right speakers, plus a subwoofer.
•• 5.1: This configuration consists of front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right speakers, plus a subwoofer.
