INITIAL SETUP

Use the ‹/› Buttons to move the cursor to the submenu icons on the

left side of the screen, and then use the

⁄/¤ buttons to highlight the

Audio Setup icon. See Figure 24. Press the Enter Button, and then use

the Navigation Buttons to move the cursor to the settings on the AUDIO

SETUP submenu.

Figure 24 – Audio Setup Submenu

PREFERRED AUDIO LANGUAGE: This setting is used to select the

default language that will be used for program playback. The factory

default setting is English, but you may choose French, Spanish, German

or Italian by making a selection from the dropdown menu as explained

in the Using the On-Screen Menus section. To select a language other

than those shown, select OTHER from the dropdown menu and press

the Enter Button. The Languages Screen (see Figure 22) will appear.

Navigate to the desired language and press the Enter Button to select

it, or navigate to RETURN at the bottom of the screen and press the

Enter Button to return to the AUDIO SETUP submenu.

This procedure selects a preferred audio program language, but it will

only be available when the disc being played contains that language.

The list of languages available on any given disc is always shown on the

disc jacket, usually at the bottom of the back cover. The audio playback

language may also be changed during playback using the Audio Select

Button, but any changes made will only be effective during playback of

that disc.

NOTE: The Audio Select Button is also used to change the

disc’s audio output format, e.g., Dolby Digital 5.1 versus

Dolby Digital 2.0.

DIGITAL OUTPUT: This setting selects the digital audio data stream

that is routed to the Optical or Coaxial Digital Output. Two choices are

available:

• Bitstream: This is the default setting. The DVD 38 will output the

Dolby Digital or DTS signal selected using the disc’s menu or using

the Audio Select Button. This setting should be used when your

receiver or processor is capable of decoding signals in the Dolby

Digital or DTS format.

• PCM: At this setting the DVD 38 outputs a standard PCM signal for

decoding by receivers or processors that are not capable of decoding

a Dolby Digital or DTS bitstream. This setting enables 2-channel audio

playback or matrix decoding where available.

NOTE: Any changes made to the Digital Output setting during

playback will not take effect until after play has been stopped

and restarted.

PCM LIMIT: This setting affects playback of high-resolution (96kHz or

greater) audio materials. If your receiver is capable of handling signals

greater than 48kHz, select the 96kHz setting. If your receiver is not

capable of resolving these signals, or if you aren’t sure of your receiver’s

capabilities, select the 48kHz setting. At the 48kHz setting high-resolu-

tion materials will be downsampled to 48kHz. If you select the 96kHz

setting when your receiver is not capable of processing high-resolution

signals, you will not hear any audio when these materials are played.

NOTE: Due to copyright restrictions, the DVD 38 will not output

an uncompressed signal in the PCM format from a disc recorded

with 96kHz/24-bit resolution, such as some DTS audio CDs.

If the Digital Output setting in the Audio Setup submenu is set

to PCM, and the PCM Limit setting is set to 96kHz, no audio

will be outputted, and the message CGMS MUTE will appear in

the Main Information Display. “CGMS” stands for “Copy General

Management System.” Should this message appear, change

the PCM Limit setting to 48kHz to hear the audio at a lower

resolution.

DYNAMIC RANGE: This setting allows you to take advantage of the

Night-mode encoding present on some Dolby Digital recordings to

reduce the volume of louder passages while maintaining intelligibility of

quieter passages. This allows you to listen to programs at a level that

allows the full impact of a soundtrack to be heard at a volume that is

lower than you might otherwise use to avoid disturbing others. The

DVD 38 accomplishes this by compressing the audio to a greater or

lesser degree, depending on which setting you choose. Three options

are available:

• MAXIMUM: Does not make any changes to the original signal,

and should be used when the volume setting in the listening room

may be as loud as you desire.

• MEDIUM: Applies a moderate amount of compression so that louder

passages are a little bit quieter.

• MINIMUM: Applies more compression so that louder passages are

much softer.

NOTE: If your receiver or processor also allows you to program

the dynamic range setting, sometimes called “Night Mode,” you

do not need to adjust this setting on the DVD 38 and you

should leave it at MAXIMUM.

DELAY UNIT: This setting selects the unit of distance used for calculat-

ing delay times when the AUDIO ADJUSTMENTS submenu is activated

using the Bass Management setting described below. The default unit is

feet, but you may select meters.

BASS MANAGEMENT: This setting activates the AUDIO ADJUSTMENTS

menu’s bass management settings, to optimize playback of DVD-Audio

discs through the 6-Channel Analog Audio Outputs, or to downmix the

signal to two channels. This setting may also be adjusted by pressing

the Audio Mode Button on the remote repeatedly until the desired

setting is selected. Three settings are available:

• On: If your receiver or processor is equipped with “direct” 6-channel

inputs and the receiver is not capable of performing bass management

on these inputs, then change this setting to On, and proceed to the

AUDIO ADJUSTMENTS menu to program the bass management

settings.
