SYSTEM SETUP
Audio Menu
In the Main menu, use the K/L Navigation Buttons 9 to highlight the Audio menu; press the
NNavigation Button 9 or Enter Button 9 to access the Audio submenu. The left column shows the items in the Audio menu. The right column shows the current setting for each item.
Audio Language
This step will define the default audio language (if the disc contains different language tracks). The option default will select the audio language originally encoded as the default language on the disc; most times this will be English. Choosing an audio language by pressing the Audio Button 5 on the remote control (see page 25) will change this setting only temporarily.
Select AUDIO LANGUAGE with the K/L Buttons 9, if it is not already selected; press the N Navigation 9 or Enter Button 9 to access the Audio Language submenu. The right column displays the current setting (highlighted) and the options.
PCM Limit
Select the PCM Limit menu by pressing the K/L Navigation Buttons 9 until PCM LIMIT is high- lighted. At this menu you will be able select the sam- ple rate for the digital output of the DVD 101 so that it is compatible with the circuitry in your receiver or processor. Before making this setting you may want to consult the Owner’s Manual for the receiver or proces- sor to determine which type of digital signals it is com- patible with.
Dynamic Range
Select the Dynamic Range menu with the K/L Buttons 9, if it is not already highlighted; press the
NNavigation Button 9 or Enter Button 9 to access the Dynamic Range submenu.
This setting enables Dolby Digital 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 reducing the impact of the digital source perceptibly.
To change the Dynamic Range setting, use the K/L Navigation Buttons 9 to highlight DYNAMIC RANGE and then press the N Navigation Button 9. Press the K/LNavigation Buttons 9 to select ON or OFF, and then press the M Navigation Button 9 to enter the setting and return to the Audio menu.
NOTE: If selected, Dynamic Range compression is only active when a Dolby Digital signal is detected and only for the analog outputs.
If you are playing a disc with a language other than English, French, German, Italian or Spanish, press the
LNavigation Button 9 until the word OTHER is highlighted. Next, press the N Navigation Button 9 and note the word OTHER will be replaced by four dashes. Using the chart on page 33, press the
Numeric Keys to enter the number corresponding to the desired language. When the entry is complete, the menu screen will display the word OTHER, but the appropriate language will be selected as long as it is present on the disc being played.
Digital Output
If your system includes 5.1 digital audio surround decoding (Dolby Digital and/or DTS), select ORIGINAL as the digital output. In that case all audio signals will be outputted with their original format. If your system only includes stereo and/or Dolby Pro Logic, select PCM. When PCM is selected you will not be able to use DTS soundtracks.
Select the Digital Output menu with the K/L Navigation Buttons 9, if it is not already selected; then press the N Navigation Button 9 or Enter Button 9 to access the Digital Output submenu. The right column displays the current setting (high- lighted) and one option.
With that information in hand, select one of these options:
•If your receiver or processor is not capable of resolving digital inputs over 48kHz, or if you are uncertain of the capabilities of your receiver, select the 48kHz option. In this case, the DVD 101 will
•If your receiver or processor is capable of resolving digital inputs up to 96kHz, select the 96kHz option. Many, but not all, receivers manufactured within the last two years are compatible with these signals.
•If your receiver or processor is capable of resolving all digital inputs, up to 192kHz, select NONE. In this case, all signals will be passed through at their native rate without
NOTE: If you play a disc that is recorded with a sample rate higher than 48kHz with either the NONE or 96kHz setting when your receiver or processor is not compatible with those types of signals you will not hear any output even though the disc is playing properly. In that case, change the setting to 48kHz to complete compatability with all receivers and processors, particularly older ones.
When all adjustments to the Audio menu are done, press the L Navigation Button 9 until RETURN is highlighted and then press the Enter Button 9 or simply press the M Navigation Button 9.
