System Setup
Panel Time-Out:Sets the time-out interval for the Front Panel Information Display. After the selected time, the display will dim completely.
Status Bar Time-Out: Sets the time-out interval for the Status Bar, after which the Status Bar will disappear from the screen.
Parental Control: Defines a password used to control viewing of restricted programs. The default password is 1234. After pressing the default password, either the parental control setting can be chosen, or a new password. The five standard US rating symbols are ”G” (General, level 2), ”PG” (Parental Guidance, level 4), ”PG13” (Parental Guidance and 13 years old, level 4), ”R” (Restricted, level 6) and ”NC 17” (from 17 years old, level 7). The DVD will accommodate a total of eight rating steps, as set by the DVD creators. These additional steps allow for more critical control of program playback for all audiences. Level 8: All DVDs can be played. Levels 7 to 2: DVDs for general audi- ences/ children can be played. Level 1: DVDs for children can be played; DVDs for adults/general audiences are prohibited. Follow the explana- tions on the screen to set a new password.
Disc Recognition: This setting controls the Disc Recognition feature. When turned on, it allows you to pause a DVD, remove it from the player, play another disc, and then resume playback of the original disc at a later time from the point at which you paused. Note that even when the setting is activated, you must pause playback, rather than bring it to a full stop, and the unit must not be turned off between discs. The DVD 28 is capable of storing the informa- tion for up to five DVDs at a time.
PBC Support: Activates PBC (Play Back Control) Support for VCD discs.
Screen Saver: Activates a Screen Saver to prevent an image to “burn” into a video display device. If you connect the DVD 28 to a LCD or plasma screen or video projector, we recommend you activate the screen saver at all times.
Show Angle Icon: Determines whether the Angle Icon will appear on the screen when there are different angles available on a DVD disc.
Closed Caption: This setting enables viewing of closed caption messages, if they have been encoded in the video material. Closed captions are text displays of the program’s dialogue, normally hidden from view, that are made available for the hearing-impaired or others. Select the ON setting to activate the DVD 28’s closed captioning decoder so that these messages may be viewed.
Audio Settings
The Audio Setting Submenu contains the following settings. Follow the explanations in the Instruction Line on the bottom of your screen to change the settings. In case the audio settings have been changed, they will take effect after the next time the player goes through STOP mode.
Preferred Audio Language: Defines your preferred audio language. Every time a disc is played that contains this audio language, it will be activated automatically. If you do not find your preferred language in the list of options, you can select your preferred language by highlighting OTHER. Press OK and use the Navigation Buttons to select your preferred language from the list shown on the screen. Note that only those lan- guages will be available that are actually on the DVD you would like to play.
Digital Output: If your system includes 5.1 digital audio surround decoding (Dolby Digital and/or DTS), select BITSTREAM as the digital output. In that case all audio signals will be out- put with their original format. If your system only includes stereo and/or Dolby Pro Logic, select PCM. Then all audio signals will be output in PCM format only (DTS will output no signal).
PCM Limit: The DVD 28 is compatible with both 48kHz and 96kHz sampling, but some early A/V receivers and surround processors are not. If your A/V receiver or surround processor is NOT capable of handling 96 kHz signals, select the 48kHz option. If your A/V receiver or surround processor IS capable of handling 96kHz signals, select the 96kHz option to achieve the greatest audio fidelity available. The AVR 138 is capable of handling 96kHz signals.
Note: Due to copyright restrictions, the DVD 28 will not output an uncompressed signal in the PCM format from a disc recorded with 96kHz/24-bit resolution, such as some DTS audio CDs. If the Digital Output setting in the AUDIO SETUP submenu is set to PCM, and the PCM Limit setting is set to 96KHZ, no audio will be outputted, and the message CGMS MUTE will appear in the Main Information Display. “CGMS” stands for “Copy General Management System.” Should this message appear, change the PCM Limit setting to 48KHZ to hear the audio at a lower resolution.
Dynamic Range: This setting allows you to take advantage of the programming present on some Dolby Digital recordings to reduce the vol- ume of louder passages while maintaining intel- ligibility of quieter passages. This means that you may listen to programs at a level that allows the full impact of a soundtrack to be heard at a vol- ume that is lower than you might otherwise use to avoid disturbing others. The DVD 28 accom- plishes this by compressing the audio to a greater or lesser degree, depending on which setting you choose. Three options are available:
•MAXIMUM does not make any changes to the original playback, and should be used when the volume setting in the listening room may be as loud as you desire.
•MEDIUM applies a moderate amount of compression so that louder passages are a little bit quieter.
•MINIMUM applies more compression so that louder passages are much softer.
Feel free to experiment with the settings at any time. Note that if your receiver or processor also allows you to program the dynamic range setting, also known as the “Night Mode,” you do not need to make any adjustments on the DVD 28 and should leave the setting at
MAXIMUM.
