Adjusting the delay time:

When enjoying 5.1ch surround playback, it is ideal to choose a listening position that is the same distance from each speaker. By adjusting the delay time of the center/surround speakers, you can virtually create an ideal listening environment (as if the center/surround speakers were at their ideal locations respectively as below.)

Center Channel Delay

0msec: When Df equals Dc.

1msec: When (A) is approx. 34 cm (13 inch)

2msec: When (A) is approx. 68 cm (27 inch)

3msec: When (A) is approx. 102 cm (40 inch) . . .

*(A) = Df – Dc

Get your optimum value (0, 1, 2 . . . 5) dividing (A) by 34.

Surround Channel Delay

0msec: When Df equals Ds.

1msec: When (B) is approx. 34 cm (13 inch)

2msec: When (B) is approx. 68 cm (27 inch)

3msec: When (B) is approx. 102 cm (40 inch) . . .

*(B) = Df – Ds

Get your optimum value (0, 1, 2 . . . 15) dividing (B) by 34.

Note

Depending on the disc, 6 channel sounds may not be output via the 5.1 CH SURROUND AUDIO OUT jacks.

Dynamic Range Control DVD

Off: Full dynamic range is maintained.

On: Dynamic range is reduced.

Notes

•This function works only during playback of Dolby Digital recorded discs.

•The level of Dynamic Range Reduction may differ depending on the DVD video disc.

Karaoke Vocal DVD

Notes

•The vocal output feature is used during playback of Dolby Digital (multi-channel) recorded DVD KARAOKE discs. This feature allows you to turn off vocal audio tracks, or restore them for background accompaniment.

•When playing KARAOKE, connect appropriate audio equipment such as an amplifier to the DVD video player.

CD Attenuation

CD

 

HDCD enhances the output sound level of audio CD by approximately 6 dB. As such, distortion may occur in some connected products that are unable to compensate for a wide range of input signal levels. (e.g. TV, stereo receivers)

Off: For normal use.

On: Select when an audio CD sound is distorted. Sound volume of an audio CD is lessened.

3)Select “Test Tone” and press the ENTER button.

The DVD video player outputs a test signal to each speaker when it is in stop mode. When playing a DVD video disc, it substitutes the current sound for the test signal.

Move the cursor control ( / ) to switch the receiving speakers, and adjust the volume of each speaker at the same level by moving the cursor control ( / ).

If all the volume levels cannot be equalized, adjust them on the amplifier.
