DVD-9000/3800 Audio Setup Tips
The following setup guidelines are recommended for the DVD-9000/3800 players to work to its fullest
potential in the playback of DVD-Audio as well as DVD-Video material (if you are using the internal DD and
dts decoders). These settings do not affect signals going to the digital outputs.
Setup of the players is relatively straight forward, except for DVD-Audio, where you must setup the Bass
Management, adjust Delay Time and calibrate Channel levels. You only need to do the Audio Setup once,
as it is a global setup for all the formats. The Pure Direct feature must also be setup to provide for proper
playback of DVD-Audio material.
• ACCESSING THE ‘SETUP’ FUNCTION OF THE PLAYER, TOGGLE TO THE ‘AUDIO SETUP’
SCREEN (PAGE 4 OF 6). TOGGLE DOWN TO ‘AUDIO CHANNEL’ AND HIGHLIGHT ‘MULTI
CHANNEL’, PRESS ‘ENTER’.
• You will be shown a screen display labeled ‘Speaker Configuration’, where you will configure
the unit to your speakers. Select ‘Large’, ‘Small’ or ‘None’ depending on your particular
speaker configuration. Selecting ‘Small’ engages the 80Hz hi/low pass crossover. Note that
selecting ‘Large’ for the Front Channels will allow you to select ‘Large for the other speakers in
your system. We recommend setting all speakers to ‘Small’ unless you are using speakers
that have built-in subwoofers, and they are connected to your receiver/amplifier by only
speaker wire.
• ALSO ON THIS SCREEN, YOU WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO ADJUST A SPECIAL ‘FILTER’
FEATURE WHICH IS FOR DISCS FROM CHESKY AND OTHERS RECORDED IN 6.0, NOT 5.1.
THE FACTORY DEFAULT SETTING IS ‘ON’.
• Toggle ‘Off’ depending on the apparent lack of bass response when playing certain discs, and
also if you have no Analog External Subwoofer in/output control on your Receiver/Pre-pro.
This will increase the SW output 5dB for DVDs – please note that in the ‘Off position, all
speakers are automatically set to Large with Subwoofer ‘Yes’.
• NEXT, USE THE ‘RETURN’ KEY TO GET BACK TO THE ‘SPEAKER CONFIGURATION’ MENU.
TOGGLE PAST ‘CHANNEL LEVEL’ (WE WILL COME BACK TO THIS IN A BIT), DOWN TO
‘DELAY TIME’ AND PRESS ‘ENTER’.
• You are now shown a screen where you are to tell the player how far away you are (in your
favorite listening position) from each speaker in your system. We recommend using a tape
measure for this, and round up to the next number in whole feet, for example if you are 14’ ¾”
away, then tell the player for that speaker is 15 feet. Once you have done all the speakers in
your system, press the ‘Return’ key.
• NOW TOGGLE TO THE ‘CHANNEL LEVEL’ BUTTON, AND PRESS ‘ENTER’
