PICTURE SOURCE
This mode selects whether the content on the disc is processed
by field (video source) or by frame (film source). You can obtain
optimal picture quality according to the source type to be played
back by selecting an appropriate option. This setting is available
for both the interlaced mode and progressive scanning mode.
Setting options
VIDEO(NORMAL), VIDEO(ACTIVE), FILM, AUTO
[VIDEO(NORMAL)]: select when playing back a video source
disc with relatively a few movements.
[VIDEO(ACTIVE)]: select when playing back a video source disc
with relatively a lot of movements.
[FILM]: select when playing back a film source disc.
[AUTO]: select when playing back a disc containing both video
and film source materials.
The player recognizes the picture type (film or video source) of
the current disc according to the disc information. Normally,
select this option.
SCREEN SAVER
You can set the screen saver function to ON or OFF. (See page
13.)
Setting options
ON, OFF
MP3&WMA/JPEG
The player can play MP3/WMA and JPEG files recorded on a
CD-R/CD-RW disc. However, if a disc contains both MP3/WMA
and JPEG files, you can only play files of the type selected in this
menu item.
Setting options
MP3&WMA, JPEG
[MP3&WMA]: when selected, only MP3/WMA files can be played
back.
[JPEG]: when selected, only JPEG files can be played back.
AUDIO menu
DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT
To connect the player’s digital output to an external device
equipped with a digital input, this item must be set correctly.
See “Appendix A: Digital output signal chart” on page 42 for
details about the relation between the setting and output signals.
Setting options
PCM ONLY, DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM, STREAM/PCM
[PCM ONLY]: select when you connect the DIGITAL OUT jack of
the player to the linear PCM digital input of other audio
equipment.
[DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM]: select when you connect the digital
input of a Dolby Digital decoder or an amplifier with a built-in
Dolby Digital decoder.
When this option is selected, playing back a DTS-encoded disc,
or disc recorded by the MPEG Multichannel format outputs a
linear PCM digital signal.
[STREAM/PCM]: select when you connect the digital input of an
amplifier with a built-in DTS, MPEG Multichannel, or Dolby
Digital decoder, or the stand-alone unit of such a decoder.
NOTE
When [STREAM/PCM] is selected, note the following points:
- With some DVD VIDEO discs that are not fully copy-protected,
a 20 or 24 bit digital signal may be output.
- A signal recorded with the 96 kHz or higher sampling
frequency is output from the DIGITAL OUT jack with the 48
kHz sampling frequency.
- When playing a DVD VIDEO or Audio CD disc with DTS, use
a DTS decoder to get correct signals from your speakers.
ANALOG OUT
To play back a DVD VIDEO disc recorded with surround
multichannel audio correctly, you must set this item properly
according to your audio system.
(This function does not work when the 3D PHONIC function is
activated.)
Setting options
2-CH DOLBY SURROUND, 2-CH STEREO, MULTI CHANNEL
[2-CH DOLBY SURROUND]: select when you enjoy
multichannel surround audio by connecting the player’s AUDIO
OUT jacks to a surround decoder.
[2-CH STEREO]: select when you enjoy conventional 2-channel
stereo audio by connecting the player’s AUDIO OUT jacks to a
stereo amplifier/receiver or TV, or when you duplicate audio of a
DVD VIDEO disc recorded with surround audio to your MD,
cassette, etc.
[MULTI CHANNEL]: select when you enjoy multichannel
surround audio by connecting the player’s 5.1-channel audio
outputs to an amplifier equipped with 5.1-channel inputs.
NOTE
With some DVD AUDIO discs, the track is prohibited from down-
mixing to 2-channel stereo audio. With such discs, even if you
select [2-CH DOLBY SURROUND] or [2-CH STEREO], down-
mixing function does not work. In this case, [MULTI CH] appears
on the display window for about 2 to 3 seconds.
D. RANGE CONTROL
This setting provides optimal audio quality from the analog
AUDIO OUT terminals for listening to DVD VIDEO discs recorded
in Dolby Digital format, at low or middle volume.
Setting options
WIDE RANGE, NORMAL, TV MODE
[WIDE RANGE]: when selected, audio is played back with the
widest dynamic range so that you can enjoy powerful playback
sound.
[NORMAL]: normally, select this option.
[TV MODE]: select if DVD VIDEO disc sound level is lower than
TV program sound level. Thus you can hear sound at a lower
volume clearly.
OUTPUT LEVEL
This setting allows you to attenuate the level of the signal output
from the player’s analog AUDIO OUT jacks.
Setting options
STANDARD, LOW
• If the sound output from the speaker is distorted, select [LOW].
To change the setting, see “How to set preferences” on page 33.
