DVD digital output formats (DigitalOut)
This setting has an effect on the digital signal output from the
DIGITAL OUT terminals.
Select the format of different digital audio types for different
purposes, as detailed below:
Dolby Digital
Select either “Stream” for use with Dolby Digital compatible
amplifiers or “PCM” for use when connecting to a CD
recorder, MD deck, etc.
dts
Select either “Stream” for connection to a dts-compatible
amplifier, or “PCM” for use with more general equipment.
Do not select the Stream option when connecting to non-dts-
compatible equipment.
MPEG Audio
Select either “Stream” for connection to an MPEG-compatible
amplifier, or “PCM” for use with more general equipment.
Down Sample
Enable (ON) or disable (OFF) downsampling. That is, all digital
signals are converted, and output at 48kHz or 44.1kHz. Use
this if your amplifier does not have 96kHz/88.2kHz capability.
Notes on the DIGITAL OUT (coaxial or optical) terminals:
• Even when downsampling is turned off, some discs are
automatically downsampled to 48kHz or 44.1kHz.
• Even when downsampling is turned off, all discs with
sampling frequencies of 192kHz or 176.4kHz are always
downsampled to 96kHz or 88.2kHz respectively.
Note
<
When you select “Stream”, your amplifier will decode the
signal.
<
When your amplifier is not compatible with Dolby Digital,
DTS or MPEG, select “PCM”.
Settings (Speaker Setup)
Speaker levels (SP Level)
Use this to set the relative levels of the speakers. You can set
the L/R pair together, and the center, and surround rear pair
independently, as well as the subwoofer. The maximum value
you can set here is 0dB and the minimum is –12dB, with
settings made in 0.5dB increments. The default setting is each
speaker channel set to 0dB.
1. When you are ready to start, display “Test Start” and
press the ENTER button.
The unit outputs test tone from each channel in turn at the
specified level for each channel.
< Test tone at very high levels may not be good for your
speakers. Make sure the level of your system is turned down
to a reasonable level before carrying out this operation.
<
Test tone from subwoofer may be nearly inaudible. Check the
level of subwoofer using source material containing low
frequency sound.
<
The unit won’t output test tone when a Super Audio CD is (or
had been) loaded. In this case, remove the disc, turn the unit
off and on, and try again.
2. Adjust the levels and continue using the test tone as
necessary until you are happy with the balance.
Test tone length (Test tone)
This represents the length of time that the test tone is output
from each speaker when Test Start is selected.
Select “Test Tone”, press the right cursor button, choose
between 2, 5 and 10 seconds using the up or down cursor
buttons, and press the ENTER button to confirm the entry.
