Delay time (b)

[DVD-V] (Dolby Digital, center and surround speakers only)

For optimum listening with 5.1-channel sound, all the speakers, except

for the subwoofer, should be the same distance from the seating posi-

tion. If you have to place the center or surround speakers closer to the

seating position, adjust the delay time to make up for the difference.

If distance d (from the center speaker) and f (from the surround

speakers) are the same as or greater than e (from the front speak-

ers), leave the delay time as “0”, the factory preset.

If either distance d or f is less than e, find the difference in the

relevant table and change to the recommended setting.

Changing the delay time

1. Press [3, 4, 2, 1] to select the delay time box and press

[ENTER].

2. Press [3, 4] to adjust the delay time and press [ENTER].

2. While listening to the test signal, press [3, 4] to adjust the

volume of the center and surround speakers so they are the

same apparent volume as the front speakers.

(The front speakers cannot be adjusted here.)

3. Press [ENTER].

The test signal stops.

Note

No signal is output for the subwoofer. To adjust its volume, play

something, then return to this screen to adjust to suit your taste.

When you are finished

Press [3, 4, 2, 1] to select “Exit” and press [ENTER].

Note

The unit may be unable to output as set here due to limitations im-

posed by the unit itself or the disc being played. (The display’s

“P.PCM” indicator lights or “D.MIX” indicator goes out in these cases.)

Digital output

[DVD-A][DVD-V]

Change the settings when you have connected equipment through

this unit’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal (OPTICAL).

PCM Down Conversion

Select how to output the high-quality audio signals (sampling fre-

quencies of 96 kHz and 88.2 kHz) on discs that do not have copy-

right protection. Choose the settings to suit the equipment you have

connected.

The equipment cannot output signals of 88.2 kHz or more if the set-

ting is “No” and the equipment is unable to handle these signals.

Note

≥Some equipment cannot handle sampling frequencies of 88.2 kHz,

even if they can handle 96 kHz. Read your equipment’s operating

instructions for details.

≥Signals are down-sampled to either 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz despite the

above settings if they have a sampling frequency of 176.4 kHz or

more or are copyright protected.
