7 DVD Setup Menu

Gain Settings

• Default setting: Fix

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

Under the default setting, all channels are output at the relative volumes they were recorded at. Change the setting to Variable if you want to adjust the relative volume levels of any of the speakers. Adjustment is in the range of -6dB to +6dB, in steps of 0.5dB.

When set to Variable, the overall output level may sound quieter than when set to Fix. This is not a malfunction.

Note

Gain settings are not effective when playing a CD with CD Digital Direct set to On.

To help you gauge the correct gain levels, set the Test Tone to On (test tone from just that speaker) or Auto (test tone from each speaker in turn, excluding the subwoofer) then adjust the gain so that all speakers appear to be the same volume from your listening position.

Follow the on-screen displays to select speakers and set the channel levels.

You can adjust the Test Tone setting only when the player is stopped.

Many AV amplifiers allow you to make similar settings at the amplifier stage. In this case, set the channel levels at the player or the amplifier, not both.

As the test tone plays through a speaker, its name is highlighted in yellow on-screen.

CD Digital Direct

• Default setting: Off

Setting this to On increases CD audio quality by bypassing certain audio circuits in the player that audio signal would otherwise pass through. However, this must be set to Off for proper playback of DTS encoded CDs.
