Center Delay and Surr. Delay

With these settings, you can adjust the multichannel out- put signals relative to the listening position.

For 5.1-channel surround playback, ideally your speak- ers should all be the same distance away from the listen- ing position, but this isn’t always practical. By setting a delay time for the center and surround speakers, you can adjust their virtual positions without having to physically move them, creating the ideal listening environment. The diagram below shows the ideal locations for the center and surround speakers.

Ideal location of a surround speaker

■Center Delay

Center Delay (A) = Df – Dc

No Delay (default): When Df equals Dc.

1msec: When (A) is approx. 1 ft. (0.3 m)

2msec: When (A) is approx. 2 ft. (0.6 m)

3msec: When (A) is approx. 3 ft. (0.9 m)

4msec: When (A) is approx. 4 ft. (1.2 m)

5msec: When (A) is approx. 5 ft. (1.5 m)

■Surr. Delay

Surr. Delay (B) = Df – Ds

No Delay (default): When Df equals Ds.

5msec: When (B) is approx. 5 ft. (1.5 m)

10msec: When (B) is approx. 10 ft. (3 m)

15msec: When (B) is approx. 15 ft. (4.5 m)

20msec: When (B) is approx. 20 ft. (6 m)

25msec: When (B) is approx. 25 ft. (7.5 m)

Notes:

•The delay settings have no effect on 192 kHz/ 176.4 kHz DVD-Audio.

•To use the delay settings with SACD playback, in the SACD Audio Setup, select PCM.

Dynamic Range Control (Dolby Digital only)

With the Dynamic Range Control function you can reduce the dynamic range of Dolby Digital material so that you can still hear quiet parts even when listening at low volume levels—ideal for watching movies late at night when you don’t want to disturb anyone.

Off (default): The full dynamic range is preserved.

On: The dynamic range of Dolby Digital material is compressed.

Notes:

•The impact of the Dynamic Range Control function depends on the Dolby Digital material that you are playing and with some material there will be little or no effect.

•When the DVD player is set to Standby, this function is automatically set to Off.

•Depending on the Speaker Configuration settings, this setting may be fixed.

Dolby Pro Logic Setting

This setting determines how the DVD player’s built-in Dolby Pro Logic decoder works with 2-channel material.

On: The Dolby Pro Logic decoder decodes Dolby Surround material and processes the following audio formats: 2-channel Dolby Digital on DVD-Video discs, 48 kHz (16-, 20-, and 24-bit) PCM audio on DVD-Video discs, and 2-channel audio on CDs.

Off (default): The Dolby Pro Logic decoder is off.

Note:

•If the Center Speaker or Surround Speaker is set to Off in the Speaker Configuration settings (page 48), the Dolby Pro Logic decoder will not work even if you select Auto or On.

SACD Audio Setup

With this setting you can choose whether DSD (Direct Stream Digital) or PCM is output when playing Super Audio CDs.

When DSD is selected, the Speaker Configuration set- tings have no effect and the source is output as it is: 2- channel material is output as 2-channels, and multichan- nel material is output as multichannel.

When PCM is selected, the source is output is in accor- dance with the Speaker Configuration settings and the output is down mixed.

DSD (default): The source signal is output as it is.

PCM: The source signal is output in accordance with the Speaker Configuration settings.
