SYSTEM SETUP
NOTE: Any changes made to the Digital Output setting during playback will not take effect until after play has been stopped and restarted.
PCM Limit: This setting determines whether the digital audio output of the DVD 47 will be sent to your receiver or processor at its original sampling rate, or whether
to limit the sampling rate to 48kHz.
NOTE: Due to copyright restrictions, the DVD 47 will not output an uncompressed signal in the PCM format from a disc recorded with
Dynamic Range: This setting allows you to take advantage of the programming present on some Dolby Digital recordings to reduce the volume of louder passages while maintaining intelligibility of qui- eter passages. This means that you may listen to pro- grams at a level that allows the full impact of a sound- track to be heard at a volume that is lower than you might otherwise use to avoid disturbing others. The DVD 47 accomplishes this by compressing the audio to a greater or lesser degree, depending on which set- ting you choose. Three options are available:
•MAXIMUM does not make any changes to the original playback, and should be used when the vol- ume setting in the listening room may be as loud as you desire.
•MEDIUM applies a moderate amount of compres- sion 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 47 and should leave the setting at MAXIMUM.
SACD: SACD discs may contain up to three separate versions of the program, depending on the specific disc. Use this setting to choose the
the conventional “CD” version available on special hybrid discs.

This menu allows you to adjust bass management set- tings that control the audio output of the
Audio Outputs for speaker size, output level and delay times. The proper adjustment of these settings is key to optimal reproduction of
IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to avoid audio problems, when the DVD 47 is connected to a receiver or processor that does have the capability to adjust bass management parameters for its multichannel inputs, you have the option to either use that capability or adjust the settings in the DVD 47. The preferred method of operation is to use the receiver for these adjustments. In that case, remember to set the Bass Management setting in the AUDIO SETUP menu to Bypass. If you make the adjustments using the DVD 47's settings, it is important that the receiver's settings for the multi- channel direct inputs be disabled, or set to “Large” for the speaker sizes and “0” for the level adjustments and delay times, unless these settings are also used for the receiver’s other source inputs, in which case they should be left the way you set them when you configured your receiver. If you have any questions about the capabilities of your receiver or processor, we recommend that you consult its owner’s manual or the manufacturer’s Web site for further information.

Before proceeding with the DVD 47’s audio setup adjustments, we recommend that you first use the menu system in your receiver or processor to ascer- tain the settings already established for “Speaker Size,” “Output Level” and “Delay Time,” which may be set as a distance. Write these settings down to refer to during the configuration process.
