relatively small file size. It enables you to enjoy CD quality music. (Short for MPEG-1 Layer 3)

PBC

This is recorded on a Video CD 2.0, Video CD 3.0, SVCD and CVD. The scenes or information to be
viewed (or listened to) can be selected interactively with the TV monitor by looking at the menu shown
on the TV monitor. It stands for Play Back Control.

CHAPTER

A title is subdivided into many sections, each section is numbered, and specific parts of video
presentations can be searched quickly using these numbers.

TITLE

When a disc contains one or more movies, these movies are split into titles.

TRACK

Numbers are assigned to the tracks, which are recorded on Video CDs and CDs.

dts

Digital Theatre System is a 5.1-channel surround sound system, which is widely used in movie
theatres around the world. It enables the bit rate to be increased to provide good sound quality.

Multi Angle

Some DVD discs contain the various scenes that have been simultaneously shot from a number of
different angles.

Dolby Digital

A versatile and popular digital audio coder developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. It allows the use of
low data rates while still achieving excellent sound quality for 1 to 5.1 channels of audio.

Dolby Pro Logic

A popular active decoder for creating up to four channels of audio from Dolby Surround-encoded
2-channel material.

10

PCM

Linear PCM is a signal-recording format used in a CD, While CD is recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, a DVD
is recorded in 48 KHz/16 bit up to 96 KHz/24 bit.

7. Customizing DVD Performance

Once the initial settings have been completed, the player can always be operated under the same

conditions whenever the power is switched on. These settings are called SETUP data that are easily
modified and stored using the SETUP menu. The SETUP menu includes the information for AUDIO,
VIDEO, OTHER system controls, LANGuages and parental LOCK. AUDIO and VIDEO submenus deal
with items related to AUDIO and VIDEO. The OTHER submenu deals with items related to other system
controls. LOCK submenu deals with items related to parental locks, they are parental levels and
passwords. The submenu of SETUP is differentiated by two categories. One is submenu changeable
during play mode. The other is not. The ability to change during play is on the AUDIO and VIDEO
submenu. The other is OTHER, LANGuage and parental LOCK.

7.1 Audio

There are 6 sub items in the AUDIO submenu. They

are DIGITAL OUT, SPEAKER, OPERATIONAL,
DYNAMIC RNG and DUAL MONO. When you press
the SETUP button and select AUDIO among the five
submenus, the sub items for AUDIO are displayed as
shown in the figure beside.

1 DIGITAL OUT

DIGITAL OUT item controls the output condition of digital out (coaxial or optical) connector. There

are 3 values possible for DIGITAL OUT. They are OFF, BITSTREAM and PCM. In the case of
OFF value, No digital signal can be output. Only analog audio can be output. In the case of
BITSTREAM value, the original audio stream recorded on the disc is output through the digital out
connector. In the case of PCM value, the decoded audio stream will be output through the digital
out connector. The relation of amplifier and DIGITAL OUT option is shown below.

Amplifier available

No Amplifier OFF

Digital Decoder Amplifier (Dolby Digital, dts) OFF, BITSTREAM, PCM (Valid for Dolby Digital)

Stereo or Dolby Pro Logic Amplifier

2 SPEAKER

You can see this speaker submenu only when you disabled the downmix submenu. If you press

the SELECT button, you shall see a new menu figure shown below.

downmix enabled downmix disabled

DOWNMIX (Dolby Digital DVD disc only)

DOWNMIX is used to reproduce the proper analog audio when the audio channel recorded on the
disc differs from the output audio channel configuration. Assume that 5.1 channels audio are
recorded on the disc but you can receive only stereo audio channels. In this case downmix is
unavoidable and you will hear all the channels recorded on disc. There are two ways of
downmixing. One is LT/RT and the other is LO/RO. If you are using Dolby Surround Pro Logic
decoder, please set the downmix mode to LT/RT otherwise LO/RO. And the last sub item OFF
makes the downmixing operation stops. This means that you are using the full 5.1 channel audio
system. If you don’t have a amplifier, which have Dolby Digital, dts decoder or 5.1 channel analog
audio input, do not select this OFF sub item. If you do that you may hear the front stereo sound
only. Select this OFF sub item when you are going to use the full 5.1 channel analog audio with
your amplifier.

Possible DIGITAL OUT values

OFF, PCM (Valid for Dolby Digital not dts)

40

CENTER

This submenu is valid when you are using an amplifier, which have the 5.1 channel analog audio

input. If you have the center speaker, please turn the sub item ON. If not, turn OFF. If you are
going to adjust the center delay, please turn the sub item ON. If not, you can’t adjust the center
delay.

center speaker on center speaker off

REAR

This submenu is valid when you are using an amplifier, which have the 5.1 channel analog audio

input. If you have the rear speaker, please turn the sub item ON. If not, turn OFF. If you are going
to adjust the rear delay, please turn the sub item ON. If not, you can’t adjust the rear delay.

SUBWOOFER
This submenu is valid when you are using an amplifier, which have the 5.1 channel analog audio

input. If you have the subwoofer speaker, please turn the sub item ON. If not, turn OFF.

CNTR DELAY
You can adjust the sound in home by adding delay time to the center speaker. See REAR DELAY

for more information.

REAR DELAY
Like CNTR DELAY, you can adjust the sound in home by adding delay time to the rear speaker.

You may hear the best quality sound if the distance between speakers is same when playing 5.1
channel surround sounds. But the displacement of speakers with same distance is very difficult in
real. Please refer the following figure and table, set the appropriate delay time.

3 OPERATIONAL

To simplify the implementation of dialogue normalization, dynamic range control, and downmixing,
Dolby Digital decoder implementations offer standard operational modes called Line Mode and
RF Mode. There are 2 values for OPERATIONAL. They are Line Mode and RF Mode. Choose
Line Mode when connecting to an amplifier, RF Mode for TV.

41

4 DYNAMIC RNG (Valid for Dolby Digital DVD disc)

A consistent problem in the delivery of audio programming is that different members of the

audience desire or even need different amounts of dynamic range depending on the listening
situation. Original high quality programs, such as feature films, are typically mixed with a wide
dynamic range. Using dialogue as a reference, loud sounds like explosions are often 20 dB louder,
and faint sounds like leaves rustling may be 50 dB quieter. In many listening situations, it is
objectionable to allow the sound to become very loud, and the loudest sounds must be
compressed downwards in level. Likewise the very quiet sounds would be inaudible and must be
brought upwards in level to be heard. If you want to hear the original dynamic range recorded on
disc set the DYNAMIC RNG to 0. Otherwise set to 8 then the dynamic range is reduced by
bringing down the level of the loud sounds and bringing up the level of the quiet sounds.

5 DUAL MONOs

DUAL MONOs are two independent mono channels defined in Dolby Digital. DUAL MONO

programs are mainly used for different language versions in one program. This functions in a
similar fashion to TV or VCR supporting secondary audio program. From two MONO channels,
STEREO, LEFT MONO, RIGHT MONO and MIXED MONO may be output in 4 different
combinations.

STEREO L channel on L speaker, R channel on R speaker
LEFT MONO L channel on L and R speaker
RIGHT MONO R channel on L and R speaker
MIXED MONO Mix two mono and output mixed mono on both (L, R) speaker

7.2 Video

There are 5 submenus for VIDEO. They are OSD LANG, TV ASPECT, TV TYPE, SCART and
CAPTIONS. If you select VIDEO, VIDEO sub items are displayed as shown in the figure.

1 OSD LANG

This item is to select the language for On-Screen Display messages that will be displayed on the
TV screen. When your desired language is selected, all OSD messages are displayed in the
selected language.

2 TV ASPECT

Set up TV aspect according to your TV set. If WIDE screen is supported on your TV, select WIDE.
If your TV supports only 4:3, you may select both 4:3 PS (Pan & Scan) and 4:3 LB (Letter Box).
