Display Language: Sets the language in which the OSD menus are shown on your screen.

Panel
Status Bar
PBC Support: Activates PBC (Play Back Control) Support for VCD discs.
Screen Save: Activates a Screen Saver to prevent an image to “burn” into a video display device. If you connect the DVD 23 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.
The Audio Setting Submenu contains the following settings. Follow the explanations in the Upper Menu 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 typing a
Digital Output: If your system includes 5.1 digital audio surround decoding (Dolby Digital and/or DTS), select ORIGINAL as the digital out- put. In that case all audio signals will be output 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 23 is compatible with both 48 kHz and 96 kHz 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 48 kHz option. If your A/V receiver or surround processor IS capable of handling
96 kHz signals, select the 96 kHz option to achieve the greatest audio fidelity available. If NONE is selected, the complete signal will be passed through to your A/V Receiver or surround processor.
Dynamic Range: This setting enables analog recordings to be played back with full dialogue intelligibility while reducing peak levels. This smooth level compression prevents abrupt loud transitions from disturbing others without reduc- ing the impact of the digital source perceptibly. Compression of digital recordings can be set on most AV Receivers.
The Video Setting Submenu contains the following settings. Follow the explanations in the Upper Menu Line on the bottom of your screen to change the settings.
Aspect Ratio: This step selects the TV aspect ratio, conventional screen shape (4:3) or widescreen (16:9), according to your TV.
TV Standard: Sets the output video format i.e. NTSC, PAL or SECAM, of the DVD player. If you have a multi standard TV, we recommend the AUTO setting for optimal picture quality.
Scan Type: Sets the video output to Interlace or Progressive. Before changing the setting to Progressive, make sure that your video display is capable of handling progressive scan signals. As soon as you select progressive scan the scan type, the Video Output will automatically change to Component. The Progressive Scan output is available on the YUV/Component output only.
Video Output: Sets the video output type to Scart or Component. Scart will be used for most TV’s. Component will be used for most LCD, Plasma and projectors.
Scart Output: Selects which kind of video output signals will be routed over the scart. RGB will be used for most TV’s and is therefore recommended.
Video Mode: This setting affects only the Component Video Outputs, and it controls how the video signals are optimized for progressive scan display. In most cases, the “automatic” mode is your best choice, as it senses whether the disc being played was originally recorded on video or shot on film. However, in some cases you may wish to compensate for errors in the disc authoring that occur when the frame rate is not properly maintained when films are convert- ed to video. Three choices are available:
•Auto: This is the recommended setting, as it lets the DVD 23 analyze the signals from the DVD and adjust the output accordingly.
•Movie: Choose this option for optimal play- back of material that was shot on film, even though you are viewing it on video via a DVD.
•Video: Choose this option for optimal playback of material that was shot directly to video, such as concerts and sports programming.
