FVideo Off: Press this button to turn off the video output for improved audio performance when playing discs. Press it again to view the on-screen menus. It is highly recommended that you use this function to prevent “burn-in” of your plasma video display.

GAudio Mode Selector: This button adjusts the Bass Management setting, which is also found in the AUDIO SETUP menu (see page 22). Stop playback of the current disc in order to use this selec- tor. There are three available settings: Bypass (the default), On and Stereo. The first press displays the current setting, and each additional press cycles through the three settings.

In Bypass mode, the analog audio information is passed through the Analog Audio Outputs 89 as is, without any bass management adjustments being applied. This mode is used with receivers and proces- sors that are capable of applying bass management settings (speaker size, output levels and delay times) to their 6-channel analog inputs.

The On setting is used with receivers and processors that pass the audio signals from their 6-channel analog inputs directly to the outputs without applying any bass management settings. With bass management on, it is recommended that you use the AUDIO ADJUSTMENTS submenu to set the DVD 37’s bass management settings. See page 22.

The Stereo mode is used when a 2-channel downmix of a multichannel audio signal is desired. For example, if you are playing a DVD-Audio disc, in which case the multichannel presentation is only available through the Analog Audio Outputs 89, and you would like to have this signal available for a multiroom system, select the Stereo mode.

NOTE: The 2-channel downmix (Stereo mode) and the 5.1-channel presentation of multichannel audio discs (Bypass or Bass Management On modes) are not available simultaneously. With bass management on, the same front left and right channel information will be available at both of the left and right Analog Audio Outputs 89. No surround information will be present in the signal output at the 2-channel Analog Audio Outputs 8. In Stereo mode only, the downmixed 2-channel signal will be available at both Analog Audio Outputs 89. Use the Audio Mode Selector Gto toggle through the three available settings.

HHD Mode Selector: When the DVD 37 is con- nected to a video display using the HDMI Output 2, the display sends information to the DVD 37 indicating the highest video resolution it is capable of handling, and the DVD 37 automatically sets the video output to match it. Pressing this button allows you to manually change the output resolution, with your selection indicated by the Video Output Indicators K.

The DVD 37 will not allow you to select a resolution beyond the capabilities of your display, and if you try to do so, an on-screen error message will appear to alert you to the selection of an incompatible video for- mat. Changes made with this button remain active until the DVD 37 or the display is turned off. When either is turned off, and then on again, the DVD 37 will revert to the default setting transmitted by the display.

IDimmer: Press to change the brightness of the front panel display or to turn the display off completely in the following order: FULL BRIGHTNESS ➜ HALF BRIGHTNESS ➜ OFF ➜ FULL BRIGHTNESS

JProgressive Scan/Interlaced Button: Each press of this button selects between the progressive scan and interlaced modes for the Component Video Outputs ∞. This button has no effect while the Setup menu system is active, indicated by –SETUP-appearing in the Information Display B. Press the Setup Button 9to clear the Setup menu, and then press this button to toggle between the progressive scan and interlaced component video settings.

KEnter: Press this button to enter a setting in the DVD 37 menu system or to confirm a menu selection choice in a disc’s on-screen menu.

MZoom: Press this button to zoom in on the image from a DVD, VCD or JPEG image. The image may be expanded by a factor of x2, x3, x4 or x5. Once the on-screen indication of the zoom ratio disap- pears from the screen you may use the Navigation Buttons Dto explore the picture.
