DP564 Multichannel Audio Decoder Menus
4-11
Karaoke
The DP564 can process karaoke information in a Dolby Digital bitstream. In a
karaoke bitstream, the standard Center, Left Surround, and Right Surround channels
are replaced with a music channel and two vocal channels. Karaoke processing may
only be applied to a karaoke bitstream.
The Karaoke menu includes Karaoke Mode and Level/Pan.
Karaoke Mode can be set to Unaware, Aware, or Capable, representing the
different karaoke DVD systems available. Level/Pan settings are only active if the
mode is Capable.
In Unaware mode, the DP564 will not perform any karaoke-specific downmixing.
All channels are decoded according to the input and downmix settings.
Aware detects a karaoke bitstream and automatically chooses appropriate karaoke
reproduction settings, depending on the number of vocal channels in the bitstream
and the output channel configuration.
Capable activates the settings in the Level/Pan menu. Both the levels and
position of the music and vocals are controlled in this menu. No automatic
assignments are generated.
Level/Pan
Separate controls for two vocal channels and music are available for both Left/Right
panning and volume level.
Speaker Mutes
Enter the Speaker Mutes menu to turn off individual channel outputs. Select a
channel and press Enter to switch between Active and Mute for that channel.
Note: Speaker Mutes do not affect the Headphone output.
LFE Monitor Mode
LFE Mon Mode allows you to select the LFE listening selection that best suits your
purposes. To emulate consumer products, use Auto, which automatically assigns the
correct LFE processing to the consumer mode in use. On enables the LFE channel in
all listening modes. Off mutes the LFE channel.
Note: The LFE Mon Mode setting is active only in Dolby Digital decoding.
