CUSTOMIZING DVD PERFORMANCE

Once the initial settings have been completed, the player can always be operated under the same conditions whenever the power is switched on. These settings are called SETUP data that are easily modified and stored using the SETUP menu. The SETUP menu includes the information for AUDIO, VIDEO, OTHER system controls, LANGuages and parental LOCK. AUDIO and VIDEO submenus deal with items related to AUDIO and VIDEO. The OTHER submenu deals with items related to other system controls. LOCK submenu deals with items related to parental locks, they are parental levels and passwords. The submenu of SETUP is differentiated by two categories. One is submenu changeable during play mode. The other is not. The ability to change during play is on the AUDIO and VIDEO submenu. The other is OTHER, LANGuage and parental LOCK.

Audio

There are six sub items in the AUDIO submenu. They are DIGITAL OUT, LCPM OUTPUT, DOWNMIX, DUAL MONO, OPERATIONAL and DYNAMIC RANGE. When you press the SETUP button and select AUDIO among the six submenus, the sub items for AUDIO are displayed as shown in the figure below.

1.DIGITAL OUT

DIGITAL OUT item controls the output condition of digital out (coaxial or optical) connector. There are 3 values possible for DIGITAL OUT. They are OFF, BITSTREAM and PCM. In case of OFF value, No digital signal can be output. Only analog audio can be output. In case of BITSTREAM value, the original audio stream recorded on the disc is output through the digital out connector. In case of PCM value, the decoded audio stream will be output through the digital out connector. The relation of amplifier and DIGITAL OUT option is shown below.

When a recorded in a Dolby Digital or DTS is loaded, noise will be output if you have made connections via the digital audio jacks to a receiver or amplifier that cannot decode a Dolby Digital or DTS digital bitstream.

In this case, be sure to set up the SETUP, Audio setting; Digital out to PCM or OFF as above mentioned.

2.LPCM OUTPUT

If your AV amplifier is compatible with high sampling rate (96kHz), set this to LPCM 96k.

Note

Even when set to LPCM 96k, some discs will only output down sampled audio.

3.DOWNMIX (Dolby Digital DVD disc only)

DOWNMIX is used to reproduce the proper analog audio when the audio channel recorded on the disc differs from the output audio channel configuration. Assume that 5.1 channels audio are recorded on the disc but you can receive only stereo audio channels. In this case downmix is unavoidable and you will hear all the channels recorded on disc. There are two ways of downmixing. One is LT/RT and the other is LO/RO. If you are using Dolby Surround Pro Logic decoder, please set the downmix mode to LT/RT otherwise LO/RO.
