Cautions

• Ensure that all audio/video cables are properly connected before plugging in the power plug.
The player is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall
outlet, even if the player itself has been turned off.

• The acceptable power input range is AC ~ 100V-240V, 50/60Hz

• Before turning on the power of the player, please adjust the volume level of TVs, audio system

speakers and amplifiers to the minimum. Adjust the volume as necessary only after normal
playback has started to avoid damage to your hearing and equipments.

• Do not put the player near any high power loudspeakers so as to avoid any interference due to
vibration or magnetic fields.

• Before moving the player, take out any discs. Otherwise the disc may be damaged.

• When moving the player from a cold place to a warm one, or vice versa, moisture may

condense on the laser pickup unit inside the player. Should this occur, the player may not
operate properly. In such a case please turn the power on for 1-2 hours (without disc) until the
moisture evaporates.

• Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls only with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water or a
mild detergent solution. Never use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such
as alcohol or benzene for cleaning.

Method 1 – HDMI Connection Directly to TV

• If your TV has an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) input, you can use the included
HDMI cable to connect the DVD player to the TV. This connection method delivers both video
and audio in pure digital format via a single cable. The HDMI video output of the DVD player
presents the highest possible resolutions and video quality.

• You may connect the composite video or S-Video cable to the TV for trouble-shooting purpose,

just in case there is a problem with HDMI. However it is not recommended to use the

composite video or S-Video as the primary method of video delivery to the TV, because using it
will lose the advantage of video up-conversion and you will only get standard definition video.

Method 2 – DVI Connection to TV

• If your TV has a DVI input, you can purchase an HDMI-DVI adapter cable to connect the DVD
player to the TV. This connection method delivers digital video to the TV without any signal
degradation. The HDMI video output of the OPPO DVD player presents the highest possible
resolutions and video quality.

• Please use the Red/White audio cables to connect the MIXED audio output of the DVD player
to the TV. Make sure the audio cables are connected to the same input terminal group on the
TV as the DVI input. Usually the input terminals are marked as “DVI Audio” or “PC Audio”. On
some TVs you may need to use an RCA-3.5mm Mini-Jack adapter cable to connect the audio.

• You may connect the composite video or S-Video cable to the TV for trouble-shooting purpose,

just in case there is a problem with DVI. However it is not recommended to use the composite

video or S-Video as the primary method of video delivery to the TV, because using it will lose
the advantage of video up-conversion and you will only get standard definition video.

Method 3 – HDMI Connection to Receiver and TV

• HDMI can transmit both audio and video signals over a single cable. If you have an HDMI-
capable receiver that can support HDMI audio, you can simply run an HDMI cable from the DVD
player to your receiver and enable HDMI audio on the receiver (see your receiver’s owners’
manual for more information). The receiver usually has an HDMI output that you can connect to
your TV to pass video signal.

10

INSTALLATION

Connecting to a Receiver/Amplifier with 5.1ch Audio Input

Method 4 – 5.1ch Analog Audio Connection

• Please use 6 RCA-style audio interconnect cables to connect the FRONT L/R, SURROUND
L/R, CENTER and SUBWOOFER analog outputs of the OPPO DVD player to the
corresponding multi-channel analog audio input jacks of your A/V receiver.

11

INSTALLATION

Connecting to a Receiver/Amplifier with Dolby Digital or DTS Decoder

Method 5 – Digital Audio Connection

• Please use either a 75-Ohm coaxial digital audio cable with RCA-style connectors or an S/PDIF
optical digital audio cable to connect one of the digital audio outputs to the corresponding input
terminal on your A/V receiver.

NOTE

• Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. “Dolby” and the double-D

INSTALLATION

Setting Up the Player - In itial Setup

Use the Setup Menu System

In many places of this guide, the DVD player’s Setup Menu needs to be adjusted to match your specific
audio/video configuration. When asking you to make menu adjustments, we will use the following terminology
to indicate the location of the desired function:

Setup Menu Name > Menu Item > Submenu Item (or Selection)
Setup Menu Name is the actual name of the uppermost setup menu level. With the OPPO DV-981HD there

are exactly five (5) Setup Menu pages or sections, each represented by an icon on the top of the Setup Menu

screen. They are: General Setup Page, Speaker Setup Page, Audio Setup Page, Video Setup Page, and

Preference Page.
Menu Item is the parameter to be adjusted which appears below the Setup Menu Name. It is the list of items

on the left of the current Setup screen.

Submenu Item (or the selection) is the actual numeric or descriptive element that represents the change
being made to the selected parameter. It is the item located to the immediate right of its corresponding Menu
Item.

This diagram should give a good description of the various elements and their context. In this screen we

could, for example, instruct you to set the Rear Sp eaker parameter to Small in the Speaker Setup Page. To
indicate where we were, you would see the following: Speaker Setup Page > Rear Speake r > Small.

To access the DVD player’s Setup Menu simply press the SETUP button on the remote control. Since some

setup menu options can become inaccessible when the player is playing a disc, it is recommended that you
operate the setup menu when playback is fully stopped or when there is no disc in the player.

1. Press the SETUP button on the remote control, and the TV screen displays:

Page. Press the SELECT button to enter the selected setup page. The Preference page can

only be accessed when playback is completely stopped, or when there is no disc in the player.

3. Press the up/down ARROW buttons to select the setup item to be changed, and press the
SELECT button to change the setting.

For example, in the Video Setup Page, you may use the up/down ARROW buttons to select
the “Sharpness” setup item, and press the SELECT button to change the “Sharpness” setting.

playback or eject the disc before trying to change these setup items. If you still cannot
access the setup item, please check for configuration conflicts and consistency. For

example, if the audio “Down-mix” mode is set to “Stereo”, the center and rear speaker size
settings will be grayed-out. Setting the “Down-mix” mode to “5.1CH” will enable the center

and rear speaker size settings.

Determine Your Display Type

Widescreen, or 16:9 TV

If you have a widescreen (16:9) display as pictured on the left, select one of these options:

• 16:9 Wide – 16:9 (widescreen) sources will be displayed in their native aspect ratio, and 4:3

sources will be stretched.

• 16:9 Wide/Auto – 16:9 (widescreen) as well as 4:3 sources will be displayed in their native

aspect ratio. Please note that in this mode 4:3 sources will be displayed with black borders on
both sides to maintain the correct 4:3 aspect ratio.

NOTE

If you are using a plasma or widescreen CRT display you will want to avoid leaving black
bars on the screen for any length of time as you may encounter temporary burn-in where the
display retains memory of the “used” part of screen and the unused (black bar) portions are
clearly defined on the screen during subsequent viewing sessions. The “16:9 Wide” mode is
the best choice for these types of displays.

If you have a 4:3 or standard definition screen as pictured on the right, select one of these options:

• 4:3 Pan/Scan – 4:3 TV Pan and Scan. Choose when the display is 4:3. Both sides of a

widescreen image are clipped (you lose about 30% of the picture).

• 4:3 Letterbox – 4:3 TV Letterbox. Choose when the display is 4:3. Widescreen image is

displayed in “letterbox” format with black borders on top and bottom (preferred).

Select the Best Output Resolution

One of the major advantages of the OPPO DVD player is its ability to up-convert standard definition video
contents stored on the DVD discs to high definition video signal and output it to the TV through HDMI. The
sophisticated video processor inside the player ensures that the resulted video will have the best possible
color, detail and motion. The DVD player offers several standard and high definition video output resolutions.
To get the best visual result, it is important to select an output resolution that matches your TV or display
device.

The rule of thumb is selecting an output resolution that matches the “native resolution” of your TV or display
device as closely as possible. The “native resolution” is the resolution of the actual display component in the
TV, such as the Plasma panel, LCD panel, or DLP™ chip. The TV may accept input signals with lower or
higher resolutions than its native resolution. In such cases the electronics in the TV will up-scale or down­scale the video to fit its display component. Unfortunately many TVs on the market only do an average job
scaling the video. On the other hand, if you set the OPPO DVD player to output a resolution that matches or
is very close to the native resolution of the TV, you are more likely to get a great picture. For the latest
generation of 1080p, “Full HD” or “True HD” displays, the best output resolution will naturally be 1080p. For
most flat panels and DLP™, LCD or LCoS (SXRD™, D-ILA™) rear projection televisions this will be 720p. For
CRT rear projection televisions this will likely be 1080i. For non HD displays (very rare if they have HDMI or
DVI) this will be 480p. You may want to try all available output resolutions and select the one that produces
the best picture quality on your TV.

You may use the HDMI button on the remote control to select the output resolution:

1. Make sure the HDMI cable or the HDMI-DVI adapter cable is properly connected.

2. Turn on the TV. Adjust the TV to use the proper input (HDMI or DVI).

3. Turn on the DVD player with no disc in its tray, or if the DVD player is already on, make sure
that playback is completely stopped.

4. Press the HDMI button to show the current output resolution. Each subsequent press of the

use the setup menu to adjust the DVD player settings.

Set up Audio Options

Depending on your specific audio/video connection method, the audio options of the DVD player may need to
be adjusted to match your configuration. Please refer to the video and audio connection methods described
previously in this guide and the following audio setup guidelines.

Audio Connection Directly to TV

If your DVD player is connected directly to the TV through HDMI (as described in “Method 1” on page
through DVI and analog L/R audio cables (as described in “Method 2” on page

9), it is recommended that you

8) or

keep the factory default settings. The factory default settings set Speaker Setup Page > Down-mix to
“Stereo”. In this mode the DVD player will mix the surround and center channels of multi-channel audio

contents with the left and right front channels. Since most TVs only come with stereo speakers, this setup will
ensure you hear all conversation and background audio from the DVD.

Multi-Channel Digital Audio to Receiver through HDMI

If your DVD player is connected to an A/V receiver or processor with HDMI inputs for high resolution multi­channel digital audio, you are in luck! You are now equipped to send all current audio formats to your receiver
in pure digital form. The connection method will typically be as described in “Method 3” on page

10 of this

guide.

To get the best possible audio via HDMI, you may need to set the following options on the DVD player’s
setup menu, depending on your HDMI-capable receiver configuration:

• If your receiver supports HDMI 1.1 Multi-Channel PCM audio, most likely it also support DTS
and/or Dolby Digital decoding and has surround speakers. Please set these DVD player

options:

o Speaker Setup Page > Down-mix to “5.1 CH”
o Speaker Setup Page > Front Speaker to “Large”
o Speaker Setup Page > Center Speaker to “Large”
o Speaker Setup Page > Rear Speaker to “Large”

NOTE

HDMI is a wonderful thing. A single cable can transport both audio AND video from your DVD
player to your display. Be aware, however, that HDMI is an evolving standard, and there
could be compatibility issues. The OPPO DV-981HD supports HDMI 1.1 audio. A receiver
that supports HDMI 1.1 is required in order to play multi-channel audio for all formats,
including DVD-Video/Audio and SACD (SACD DSD audio converted to multi-channel PCM).
If the receiver supports HDMI 1.0 only, DVD-Audio and SACD will NOT be able to be sent via
HDMI. To utilize DVD-Audio or SACD, please see next section for multi-channel analogue
audio connection.

Multi-Channel Analog Audio to Receiver

If your DVD player is connected to an A/V receiver through the 5.1ch analog audio jacks using 6 RCA cables
(as described in “Method 4” on page

11), you can play all supported audio formats and listen to it with your

A/V receiver and surround systems. The following setup options are recommended:

• Set the Speaker Setup Page > Down-mix to “5.1CH”.

• Set the speaker size and subwoofer properly according to your actual audio hardware.

• Enable or select the multi-channel analog inputs on your receiver

Using the multi-channel analog audio output is necessary for playing DVD-Audio and SACD if your receiver
does not support HDMI multi-channel audio. This is absolutely worth it if you haven’t yet upgraded to a
receiver with HDMI audio. Truly discrete audio channels are a wondrous thing, so enjoy them if you can.

Coaxial or Optical Digital Audio to Receiver

If your audio connection is as described in “Method 5” on page
Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, the following setup options are recommended:

12 of this guide, and the A/V receiver support

connection method. To enjoy SACD or DVD-Audio in their full resolution, please use the HDMI connection if
you have a receiver that handles HDMI audio and use multi-channel outputs if you do not.

Stereo Analog Audio to Receiver

If you primarily listen to stereo contents or your receiver only offers stereo audio connections, please use the
analog RCA-style cables to connect the MIXED L/R output of the DVD player to your receiver, as described in
“Method 6” on page

13 of this guide. Depending on whether the receiver has surround speakers and supports

Dolby Pro Logic II decoding, you may use one of the following audio configurations:

• No Surround Speakers: If the audio system does not have surround speakers, please set the

1. Down-mix Mode: To set the audio down-mix mode for converting multi-channel audio into two-

channel output. This setting affects the analog and HDMI audio outputs. The options are:

• Lt/Rt – Dolby Pro Logic II Left Total/Right Total. This mode is intended for use with two-

channel Dolby Pro Logic II receivers. The center and surround channels are mixed into the
two front channels according to the Lt/Rt matrix. A Dolby Pro Logic II receiver will decode
the two-channel audio into surround audio.

• Stereo - This mode down-mixes decoded multi-channel (5.1ch) audio to 2-channel stereo

output. For original stereo content the output will still be stereo. For original multi-channel
content the surround and center channels will be mixed with the left and right front
channels. Recommended for use with TV sets or stereo receiver/amplifiers.

• V. Surround - Virtual Surround. This mode creates a virtual surround effect from stereo or

multi-channel audio contents.

• 5.1CH – This mode enables 5.1ch decoded audio output. The number of actual output

channels depends on the disc.

2. Front Speaker: To set the sound filtering control for the front speakers. The options are:

• Large – Choose if the front speakers are large. Bass frequencies are passed to the front

speakers.

• Small – Choose if the front speakers are small. Bass frequencies are not passed to the

front speakers to reduce possible distortion.

3. Center Speaker: To set the sound filtering control for the center speaker. The options are:

• Large – Choose if the center speaker is large. Bass frequencies are passed to the center

speaker.

• Small – Choose if the center speaker is small. Bass frequencies are not passed to the

center speaker to reduce possible distortion.

• Off – Choose if there is no center speaker.

4. Rear Speaker: To set the sound filtering control for the rear speakers. The options are:

• Large – Choose if the rear surround speakers are large. Bass frequencies are passed to

the rear speakers.

• Small – Choose if the rear surround speakers are small. Bass frequencies are not passed

to the rear speakers to reduce possible distortion.

• Off – Choose if there are no rear speakers.

5. Subwoofer: To enable/disable the subwoofer output. The options are:

SETUP MENU OPTIONS

6. Channel Delay: To set the delay time for the center, rear speakers and the subwoofer. The

delay is to compensate for the audio propagation time difference caused by the distance
difference of the speakers to the listener.

• Press the up/down ARROW buttons to select the speaker to set the distance difference.

• Press the left/right ARROW buttons to set the distance difference.

• Press the SELECT button to confirm the settings and return to the Speaker Setup Page.

• The channel delay is the difference between the distance from the listener to the front

speakers and the distance from the listener to the speaker to be configured.

• Measure the distance (in inches) from the primary listening position to the Front Left
Speaker. This is your baseline measurement – the primary distance that will determine the
adjustments for your system. Your Front Right and Left speakers should measure the
same distance. If they do not, please adjust them if possible.

• Measure the distance (in inches) from other speakers to the listening position. If it is LESS
than the distance to the Front Left speaker, enter the difference (as close as possible) in

inches using the left/right ARROW buttons as channel delay. If it is GREATER than the

distance to the Front Left speaker, then leave the channel delay at 0.

• Repeat for each speaker in the system (Center, Left Surround, Right Surround, and
Subwoofer) as available.

For example, if the distance between the listener and the front main speakers is 60 inches (n in
the above picture), and the distance between the listener and the center speaker is 56 inches
(o), the channel delay for the center speaker is 4 inches (n-o=p). Similarly, if the left
surround speaker is 48 inches (q) away from the listener, the channel delay for the left
surround speaker should be 12 inches (n-q=r).

Distance between the surround speakers and the listener must be shorter than or equal to that

between the front speakers and the listener.

In case the channel delay settings cannot match your speaker configuration, please set all
distance difference to 0 inch and use your receiver/amplifier to set the channel delay.

1. Digital Output: To set the bit stream type of the digital audio output for use with Dolby Digital

and DTS-compatible receivers. The options are:

• Raw – Passes the encoded multi-channel digital audio unaltered. Choose this setting if

your receiver/amplifier is capable of decoding Dolby Digital and/or DTS.

• PCM – Forces down-mixed 2-channel digital audio output. Choose this setting if your

receiver/amplifier only supports stereo digital (PCM) audio.

2. LPCM Rate: To set the maximum Linear PCM output frequency. The options are:

• 48K – Supported by most equipment.

• 96K – Allows a higher sampling rate and frequency response. It can result better audio

quality. Ensure that the receiver/amplifier can support it.

• 192K – Allows the highest sampling rate and frequency response. It can result the best

audio quality. Ensure that the receiver/amplifier can support it.

Note: The LPCM rate is selectable only when HDMI Audio is turned off.

3. Audio Tone (+/-16): This function raises or lowers the tone (key/pitch) of the audio track. This

is useful for playing Karaoke discs and should not be used for regular music listening or movies.

• Press the SELECT button to show the tone control window.

• Press the left/right ARROW buttons to lower or raise the tone/pitch.

• Press the SELECT button to confirm the setting.

4. Pro Logic II: Taking a step further than most DVD players, the OPPO DVD player allows you to

configure Dolby Pro Logic II to expand 2-channel source audio into full 5-channel surround

sound. Note: Pro Logic II functionality is effective only when Speaker Setup Page > Down-
mix is set to “5.1ch” and Digital Output is set to “Raw”.

• Press the SELECT button to enter the “Pro Logic II Config” page.

• Press the left ARROW button to exit the “Pro Logic II Config” page.

A. Pro Logic II: To turn on or off the Pro Logic II processing. The options are:

40

SETUP MENU OPTIONS

• On – Pro Logic II processing is always on

• Off – No Pro Logic II processing

• Auto – Pro Logic II processing is on only when Dolby Pro Logic II encoded content is

detected.

B. Mode: To set the processing mode of Pro Logic II. The options are:

• Music – The surround experience is tailored for multi-channel music playback

• Movie – Emphasis is given to the center channel as two-channel audio is decoded and

played back into your 5.1 system

• Pro Logic – This activates decoding and processing of the original Dolby Pro Logic

processing with mono-surround channel. We recommend using the Dolby Pro Logic
Movie mode in lieu of this 4-channel surround format.

• Auto – Automatically selects processing mode based on the input format

C. Panorama (Music mode only): Turns on/off panorama mode. When turned on, the front

stereo audio is partially fed into the surround channels for an enveloping effect.

D. Dimension (Music mode only): Allows gradual adjustment of the sound field either

towards the front or towards the rear. This is useful in setting a more even balance from all
speakers with some rooms.

E. Center Width (Music mode only): To control the width of the center channel sound effect

by blending the center speaker to the left and right speakers. As the level number
increases, the center channel sound moves toward the left and right speakers.

5. Dolby Digital Setup: To configure the Dolby Digital decoder.

• Press the SELECT button to enter the Dolby Digital Setup page.

• Press the left ARROW button to exit the Dolby Digital Setup page.

A. Dual Mono: To choose the output for Dolby Digital discs encoded with two independent

audio channels, such as bilingual programs. The options are:

• Stereo – Stereo output

• L-Mono – Left channel output to both Left and Right speakers.

• R-Mono – Right channel output to both Left and Right speakers.

• Mix Mono – Left and Right channels mixed to both Left and Right speakers.

B. Dynamic: To set the Dynamic Range Compression (DRC). DRC can smooth out the sonic

peaks and valleys common with wide-range digital audio. Increasing DRC may make low
level audio more audible during low-level listening. Decreasing or turning off DRC restores
the sonic energy present in the original recording.

6. Channel Trim: To set the volume of each individual channel.

41

SETUP MENU OPTIONS

• Press the left/right ARROW buttons to select the channel to be adjusted.

• Press the up/down ARROW buttons to raise or lower the volume of the selected channel in

0.5dB increments.

• Press the SELECT button to confirm the settings and return to the Audio Setup Page.

Channel trim is generally not required since most A/V receivers have the capability to adjust
channel trim and compensate for speaker sensitivity differences. However if your receiver does
not have such functions, you may adjust channel trim on the DVD player. For most accurate

results, it is recommended that you use test tones from a calibration disc, such as AVIA Guide
to Home Theater, and a SPL (Sound Pressure Level) meter.

7. Audio Delay: To add delay to analog or PCM digital audio output. If you experience

audio/video synchronization problem, you may use this option to add a slight delay to the audio
so it is in-sync with video.

• Press the left/right ARROW buttons to adjust delay. The audio delay can be adjusted in

10ms steps.

• Audio delay does not apply to raw bit stream digital audio output.

8. HDMI Audio: To select digital audio output from the HDMI port. The options are:

• LPCM – Digital audio output via HDMI will be multi-channel Linear PCM format. The Down-

mix setting in the “Speaker Setup Page” will affect whether and how multi-channel audio
content will be down-mixed to stereo. When this option is selected, compressed audio bit
streams will decoded by the DVD player. This setting is recommended when connecting
the HDMI output directly to a TV.

• Auto – Digital audio output via HDMI will be the same as the digital coaxial/optical audio

output for CD, Dolby Digital and DTS audio signals. For high resolution stereo or multi­channel audio contents such as DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD, the DVD player will send
multi-channel PCM audio signals with the highest available sample frequency and bit
numbers. Depending on the original audio content, the format could be 44.1kHz - 192kHz, 2

- 6 channels. This option is recommended when connecting the HDMI output to an A/V
receiver or processor with HDMI 1.1 or above audio capabilities.

• Off – No digital audio output via HDMI.

NOTE

If you use HDMI to connect audio to an HDMI A/V receiver or audio processor, it is
recommended that you choose 720p or higher HDMI output resolution when playing high
resolution audio content (DVD-Audio and SACD). According to the HDMI specification, the
bandwidth available for audio is proportional to the total bandwidth used by video. At
480p/576p resolution, the HDMI specification can only support 2 channels of audio with high
sample rate (up to 192kHz), or 8 channels of audio with standard sample rate (up to 48kHz).
Depending on the capability of your A/V receiver or audio processor, if you play high
resolution audio content at 480p/576p resolution, you may get reduced audio resolution,
incomplete audio channels, or even no audio/video output at all. Choosing a high HDMI
output resolution such as 720p or 1080i allows enough bandwidth for all high sample rate
audio channels.

NOTE

Sharpness (edge enhancement) is an artificial video processing function that can produce a
sharper looking picture but at the same time may degrade the details of the picture or cause
unwanted artifacts. We recommend leaving it off.

2. Brightness: To adjust the brightness (black level) of the video output.

• Press the SELECT button to show the Brightness scale, and then use the left/right ARROW

buttons to adjust.

• Press the SELECT button to confirm the new setting.

3. Contrast: To adjust the contrast (white level) of the video output.

NOTE

The ability to set brightness and contrast is no small thing. If you do not have the correct
black and white levels then your images can appear washed out or you won’t be able to see
into the shadows when watching darker scenes in movies. Televisions have brightness (black
level) and contrast (white level) controls; however it may take a combination of tweaking both
the DVD player and your television to get just the right result. We recommend using a

calibration DVD like AVIA Guide to Home Theater or Digital Video Essentials and setting your

display for the best possible picture. Once that is done, see if the DVD player settings can get
even closer.

4. Saturation: To adjust the saturation (color intensity level) of the video output.

5. TrueLife: To turn on/off the TrueLife™ video processing of the built-in Genesis/Faroudja video

processor. TrueLife is a Faroudja proprietary two dimensional, non-linear, luma & chroma video
enhancer that brings out details in the picture to produce a more life-like image. Since many

43

SETUP MENU OPTIONS

advanced video processing functions rely on the TrueLife feature, we recommend leaving this
option on.

6. CCS: To turn on/off the Cross Color Suppression feature of the built-in Genesis/Faroudja video

processor. CCS helps separate contrasting colors and may prevent the colors from bleeding
into one another. The setting is useful in some circumstances, especially when displaying static
pictures recorded as video. This setting is effective only when TrueLife is turned on. Since
CCS mainly affects static pictures instead of motion contents, we recommend turning it off.

7. Noise Reduction: To set the video noise reduction level of the built-in Genesis/Faroudja video

processor. Turning on noise reduction can reduce the snow-like or block-like video noise
generated by broadcasting or video encoding. However the side effect of noise reduction is
some loss of fine details and some “ghosting” effect – fast moving objects may show a visible
trace. The recommended setting is “Off”. Turn on noise reduction only when the original
content has a lot of video noise. This setting is effective only when TrueLife is turned on. The
available settings are:

• High – High noise reduction. Video noise is significantly reduced. Moving objects may

leave a visible trail (“ghosting”).

• Medium – Medium noise reduction. Video noise is strongly reduced. Moving objects may

leave a visible trail.

• Low – Low noise reduction. Video noise is slightly reduced. Moving objects may leave a

slightly visible trail.

• Off – Turn off noise reduction completely.

8. Video Mode: To select the mode of conversion for video output. The options are:

• Video 1 – Video 1 mode is recommended for viewing NTSC content with video or 3:2

cadence. If you primarily watch NTSC content, this is the preferred mode.

• Video 2 – Video 2 mode is recommended for viewing NTSC/PAL contents with video, 3:2

and 2:2 cadences. If you watch both NTSC and PAL movies this is the preferred mode.
Please note that in Video 2 mode, NTSC/PAL conversion is not performed for analog video
outputs (composite and S-Video).

9. RGB Range: To select the HDMI RGB output range. This setting only affects output in RGB

color space, primarily used when the DVD player is connected to a DVI input. The options are:

• Normal – Normal RGB range suitable for video display.

• Enhanced – Expanded RGB range suitable for personal computer (PC) display. Some TVs

are designed to be used as a PC monitor, and expect signal in expanded RGB range when
the DVI input is selected. For these TVs if the video signal uses the normal RGB range, the
black-white contrast will be reduced. You can set the DVD player to use the Enhanced
RGB Range and restore proper contrast.
