approximately 20-40Hz to 16-20kHz (floorstanders or high quality larger

Small = Speakers with a less extended low frequency response of

 

 

approximately 80-100Hz to 16-20kHz (small stand-mounted, bookshelf

 

 

or satellite speakers).

 

 

Setting each speaker allows the 540D V2 to perform what is called Bass

Frequency Effects channel of surround sound material away from

 

 

speakers not able to reproduce it and to the subwoofer channel instead.

Test Tone

With the unit in Stop mode, the disc drawer open and Downmix set to ‘Off’, select ‘On’ to carry out a test tone procedure. The 540D V2 will then play ‘white-noise’ sound from each of the 5.1 outputs in turn. They can be used to adjust the levels of your external amplifier/receiver or speaker system so that each channel is at approximately the same level for best surround-sound performance. Listen to each channel in turn as the 540D V2 cycles through them and adjust the level on your amplifier/receiver or speaker system so that each channel sounds the same in terms of loudness (bear in mind smaller speakers and subwoofers etc will sound different in terms of the tone of the sound but the overall level sound be matched).

SPDIF (and TOSlink Optical) Output

Three options are available: Off, Raw Bitstream and PCM Stereo.

If PCM Stereo is selected the digital output will always be Digital PCM Stereo (LPCM) for use with a DAC, recording to a MD or CD-R machine etc.

If Raw bitstream is selected the output will either be PCM Stereo for Stereo disc/soundtracks or a surround-sound bitstream from surround- sound soundtracks for decoding by an external AV Receiver, see below:

Downmix

Stereo - When in Stereo mode any DD 5.1 or PLII 5.1 content will be downmixed to Stereo and output from the Front Left and Right sockets of the 5.1 output only.

Off - When Off, full 5.1 output will be available (depending on disc).

Note: The 540D V2 also features a separate set of permanent Stereo Outputs that will always output true Stereo (for Stereo material) or downmixed Stereo from 5.1 regardless of the above setting.

If Downmix is ‘On’, only the Front Speaker size and Sub On/Off can be selected.

In the next series of menus for each speaker type, select from ‘Large’ and ‘Small’ for each speaker (‘Large’ and ‘Small’ are used to describe each speaker in terms of bass response and do not necessarily reflect the actual physical size of the speaker).

PCM @ 16/48 or 16/96*

for stereo soundtracks

*48kHz or 96kHz depending on soundtrack bit depth and LPCM limit set as below.

LPCM Out

Selects whether the SPDIF LPCM output from DVDs can be at 96kHz maximum sample rate (if the disc supports it) or will be downsampled to 48kHz maximum. Some equipment can only support a 48kHz maximum sample rate and hence it can be useful to set this maximum limit. CDs are 16/44.1 so are unaffected.
