22 SYSTEM SETUP

NOTE: Any changes made to the Digital Output setting

during playback will not take effect until after play has

een stopped and restarted.

PCM Limit: This setting determines whether the digital

audio output of the DVD 37 will be sent to your

eceiver or processor at its original sampling rate, or

hether high-resolution (96kHz or greater) materials

will be downsampled to 48kHz. Select the

96kHz

setting if your receiver is capable of resolving digital

signals greater than 48kHz and does not require

ownsampling. If you select the

6kHz

etting

when your receiver is not capable of processing sig-

nals with a sampling rate greater than 48kHz, then

you will not hear any audio when high-resolution

materials are played. If you are uncertain of your

receiver’s capabilities, select the

48kHz setting

to limit the sampling rate to 48kHz.

NOTE: Due to copyright restrictions, the DVD 37 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 mes-

sage

CGMS MUTE will appear in the Main

Information Display

B. “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 qui

eter passages. This means that you may listen to pro-

grams at a level that allows the full impact of a sound-

track to be heard at a volume that is lower than you

might otherwise use to avoid disturbing others

The

DVD 37 accomplishes this by compressing the audio

to a greater or lesser degree, depending on which set-

ting you choose. Three options are available:

•

MAXIMUM does not make any changes to the

original playback,

and should be used when the vol-

ume setting in the listening room may be as loud as

you desire.

•

MEDIUM applies a moderate amount of compres-

sion so that louder passages are a little bit quieter

•

MINIMUM applies more compression so that

louder passages are much softer.

Feel free to experiment with the settings at any time.

Note that if your receiver or processor also allows you

to program the dynamic range setting,

also known

as the “Night Mode

”

you do not need to make any

adjustments on the DVD 37 and should leave the

setting at

MAXIMUM.

Delay Unit: This setting selects the unit of distance

used for calculating delay times when

the AUDIO

DJUSTMENTS

enu is activated. The default

unit is feet, but you may select meters.

Bass Management: This setting activates the

AUDIO ADJUSTMENTS

menu’s bass man-

agement settings, to optimize playback of DVD-Audio

discs through the

Analog Audio Outputs 89.

Three settings are available:

• O

: I

f 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 on the DVD 37 to

On, and proceed to the AUDIO ADJUST-

MENTS

menu to program the bass management

settings.

• Bypass: This is the default setting. If your

receiver or processor is equipped with 6-channel

inputs and is capable of adjusting the bass manage

ment settings (speaker size, output levels and delay

times) for its 6-channel analog inputs, then we rec-

ommend that you leave this setting at the default

Bypass, and adjust the bass management set-

tings on your receiver.

• Stereo: If your receiver or processor is not

equipped with 6-channel inputs at all, then change

this setting to

Stereo, which will send a down-

mixed 2-channel signal to the

Analog Audio

Outputs

8, for use with any 2-channel analog

input on your receiver. You may then select an ana-

log surround mode available on your receiver.

NOTE: The 2-channel downmix (Stereo mode) and

the 5.1-channel presentation of multichannel audio

discs (Bypass or Bass Management On modes) are

not available simultaneously

With bass management

on,

the same front left and right channel information

will be available at both of the left and right

Analog

Audio Outputs

89. No surround information will

be present in the signal output at the 2-channel

Analog

Audio Outputs

In Stereo mode only, the

downmixed 2-channel signal will be available at both

Analog Audio Outputs 89. If it is more conven-

ient to use the remote than to change this setting in

the on-screen menu system,

use the

Audio Mode

Selector

G to toggle through the three available

settings. Either method achieves the same result.

Audio

Adjustments Submenu

This menu allows you to adjust bass management set-

tings that control the audio output of the

6-Channel

Audio Outputs

9 for speaker size, output level and

delay times. The proper adjustment of these settings is

key to optimal reproduction of DVD-Audio discs, when

the DVD 37 is used with a receiver or processor that

does not have audio adjustment capabilities for the

direct inputs.

IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to avoid audio problems,

when the DVD 37 is connected to a receiver or

rocessor that

oes

ave the capability to adjust bass

management parameters for its multichannel inputs,

you have the option to either use that capability or

adjust the settings in the DVD 37. The preferred

ethod of operation is to use the receiver for these

djustments. In that case, remember to set the

Bass Management setting in the

AUDIO SETUP menu to Bypass. If you

make the adjustments using the DVD 37's settings, it

s important that the receiver's settings for the multi-

channel direct inputs be disabled, or set to “Large” for

the speaker sizes and “0” for the level adjustments

and delay times, unless these settings are also used

for the receiver’s other source inputs, in which case

they should be left the way you set them when you

configured your receiver. If you have any questions

about the capabilities of your receiver or processor, we

recommend that you consult its owner’s manual or the

manufacturer’s Web site for further information.

If your receiver or processor does not have 6-channel

analog inputs, make sure to select

Stereo

for the Bass Management setting in

the

AUDIO SETUP menu. Then connect the

Analog Audio Outputs 8 to any 2-channel analog

inputs on your receiver.

Before proceeding with the DVD 37’s audio setup

adjustments, we recommend that you first use the

menu system in your receiver or processor to ascer-

tain the settings already established for “Speaker Size,”

“Output Level” and “Delay Time,” which may be set as

a distance

Write these settings down to refer to during

the configuration process.

Press the

Setup Button 9 to activate the Setup

menu; then use the

⁄¤ Navigation Buttons n

until the AUDIO ADJUSTMENTS submenu

is highlighted within a white outline box,

and press the

Enter Button K.

Figure 7

The following adjustments are available on the

AUDIO ADJUSTMENTS menu for each

speaker position.

It is recommended that you cycle

through the adjustments for each speaker position

using the

⁄¤‹› Navigation Buttons n to

enter the settings that are appropriate for your system.
