Test Tone

If you can adjust the volume level of each channel of your amp’s multichannel input, with this function, you can output a test tone from each multichannel output jack in turn and adjust each level as necessary.

1.Use the Up/Down []/[ ] buttons to select a speaker, and then press the [ENTER] button.

A test tone is output by each speaker as it’s selected.

2.Refer to your AV receiver’s instruction manual for details on adjusting the volume level of each channel.

Note:

• The test tone is not output by the digital audio outputs.

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 DV-SP506 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 DV-SP506’s built-in Dolby Pro Logic decoder works with 2-channel material.

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

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.

Note:

•If the Center Speaker or Surround Speaker is set to Off in the Speaker Configuration settings (page 52), the Dolby Pro Logic decoder will not work even if you select 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.

Downmix Setting

With this setting you can configure the D.MIX/FRONT AUDIO OUT jacks and SCART AV CONNECTOR for use with a 2-channel stereo amp or an amp with a built- in Dolby Pro Logic decoder. It determines how multi- channel audio sources are down mixed.

In the Speaker Configuration, set the Subwoofer, Center Speaker, and Surround Speaker settings to Off.

Stereo (default): Choose this option if you’re con- necting the D.MIX/FRONT AUDIO OUT jacks or SCART AV CONNECTOR to a stereo amp or TV. Multichannel audio is down mixed into stereo.

Lt/Rt: Choose this option if you’re connecting the D.MIX/FRONT AUDIO OUT jacks or AV CON- NECTOR to an AV receiver, TV, or other component with a built-in Dolby Pro Logic decoder. Multichan- nel audio is down mixed into an Lt/Rt mix, which is a 2-channel mix containing front left, front right, center, and surround channel information.
