AUDIO OUTPUT

In this section you will be able to set up some of your D 200’s more advanced audio features.

AUDIO OUT

This sets both the HDMI audio output and the analog audio output together. It does not affect the coaxial and optical digital outputs.

-HDMI AUTO, the D 200 HDMI jack automatically outputs only the number of HDMI audio channels your HDMI TV or surround controller/receiver can decode.

-MULTI CH allows surround sound audio signals to pass through the HDMI and Analog 5.1 Channel output jacks.

-STEREO restricts both HDMI and analog audio outputs to two channel stereo, disabling surround sound.

Note: The AUDIO OUT setting does not affect the digital coaxial and optical outputs. The format of the digital signal at the coaxial and optical output jacks is determined solely by the DVD being played and the settings in the DVD disc setup menu.

LATE NIGHT

This is a dynamic range limiter which you can set to restrict the very loud portions of Dolby Digital soundtracks. This operates by making low volume sounds a bit easier to hear while also reducing the volume level of the louder sounds. Selecting LATE NIGHT enables you to hear all of the dialog without awakening your family (or neighbors) when the sound effects get loud. LATE NIGHT can be set from 0 to 8, the higher numbers represent greater limit of dynamic range.

Note: This feature only works with DVD movies recorded in Dolby Digital and it only affects the

5.1analog and stereo outputs. Your surround receiver or AV receiver will have its own late night adjustment for digital audio signals coming from the D 200’s Digital Coaxial or Optical output jacks.

DVD AUDIO AREA

Some DVD Audio discs consist of separate DVD-Video and DVD-Audio content (areas) on a single disc. You can select the desired area to be played by selecting the DVD AUDIO or DVD VIDEO AREA. Please note that if the disc does not contain separate Video and Audio sections, the available section will be played regardless of the DVD AUDIO AREA setting.

SACD AREA

Some SACDs consist of two channel and multi-channel audio areas on a single disc. In addition, “hybrid SACDs” consist of both high-resolution SACD material and standard CD-resolution material on a single disc. You can select the desired area to be played by selecting

the MULTICHANNEL, 2CHANNEL or CD AREA. You can also select the desired SACD disc area by pressing the SACD button on the remote handset.

Note: An SACD cannot play if you selected an SACD area which it does not contain. If the disc won’t play, the D 200 front panel will show NO MULTI CH. In this case you must select the appropriate SACD AREA in the setup menu or by pressing the SACD button on the remote handset.
