Setting the Audio 1 Options

■SACD Playback Expert

SACD discs can be divided up into several different areas stereo audio, 5.1 channel audio, and, (for hybrid SACDs), standard CD audio. The SACD Playback setting enables you to select which area of the disc you want to play.

Audio1	A2 Video1 V2	Language General
	Audio DRC	— Off
	Dolby Digital Out	— Dolby Digital
	DTS Out	— DTS 3 PCM
	Linear PCM Out	— Down Sample On
	MPEG Out	2ch Area
	Digital Out	Multi-ch Area
	SACD Playback	CD Area
	Move	SETUP	Exit

Settings: 2ch Area (Factory setting)

Playback of the 2 channel area.

Multi-ch Area

Playback of the multi-channel area.

Set Audio Out to 5.1 Channel for multi-channel playback (see below).

CD Area

Playback of the CD layer.

Note

If you select an area that isn’t on the disc loaded, a different area of the disc will play. For example, if you choose standard CD audio but the disc loaded is not a hybrid SACD, the stereo audio will play.

Setting the Audio 2 Options

■Audio Out

If you connected this player to your amplifier using the 5.1 channel analog outputs (front, surround, center and subwoofer outs), set this to [5.1 Channel]; if you connected only the stereo outs, set to [2 Channel].

Notes

•Even if you set [Audio Out] to [5.1 Channel], you’ll only get sound from all speakers when playing a multi-channel DVD-Audio disc, SACD or Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG encoded DVD disc.

•If you set to 2 Channel, Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio is mixed down to two channels so you still hear all the audio recorded on the disc.

•Some DVD-Audio discs don’t allow down-mixing of audio. These discs always output multi-channel audio regardless of the setting made here.

■Speaker Setting

You only need to make this setting if you connected this player to your amplifier using the 5.1 channel analog outputs.

Follow the on-screen displays to describe which speakers are in your system and their sizes and positions.

Set the size of your speakers in the Size screen. The front left/ right (L/R) speakers have a fixed setting of [Large]. The center (C), left surround (LS) and right surround (RS) speakers can each be set to [Large], [Small] or [Off]. Set a speaker to [Large] if the main speaker cone is 12 cm or more; set to [Small] if the it’s less than 12 cm. Note that the LS and RS speakers cannot be set independently.

The subwoofer (SW) can only be set to [On] or [Off].

The graphic on the right of the screen represents your speaker setup, with the currently selected speaker’s name highlighted in blue, and the speakers set to [On] highlighted in yellow.

Set the distance from your main listening position to each speaker in the [Distance] screen. The distance setting for any speaker that was set to [Off] in the [Size] screen will be grayed out. For the other speakers, enter the distance to the nearest 0.1m (10cm). You can set the distance for the L/R speakers between 0.3m and 9m. Note that you must set the C and SW speakers within 2m of the L/R setting. The LS and RS speakers must be set within –6m and +2m of the L/R setting. The graphic on the right of the screen represents your speaker setup, with the currently selected speaker’s name highlighted in blue, and the speakers set to [On] highlighted in yellow.

Notes

•When the subwoofer (SW) is set to on, the LFE (low frequency effect) signals are input from the subwoofer.

•When listening to a DVD audio source, the C, LS, and RS speakers will automatically be set to the [Large] size setting. However, the sound will not be affected by the change. Listening to another source will return the speakers to their original settings.

•For DVD-Audio only, if the C, LS, or RS speakers is set to [Off], the audio is automatically downmixed to stereo unless the DVD audio software does not permit down mixing.

•The distance setting is unavailable for SACD discs.
