This menu item only applies if you are connected to your TV via HDMI.

Movies are recorded on film at a rate of 24 pictures, or frames, per second. Many of the movies on BD
disks are placed on the disk at this frame rate. However, not all TVs can display 24 frames/second of

video.

If the BD player is connected to the TV via HDMI, and the TV has the capability to display 24
frames/second of video, setting FILM MODE to 'yes' indicates to the BD player that it may output disk
content recorded at 24 frames/second directly (without converting it to 30 or 60 frames/second)

If your TV is no__tconnected to the BD player or surround receiver via HDMI, this menu item does not
apply to the other video outputs (component, composite, etc). Set film mode to NO

4.4 AuD(O MENU CATEGORY

To set the digital and analog audio outputs correctly, press the up/down arrow keys (_._-_)on the remote

until the Audio menu category is highlighted on the leftmost portion of the setup menu screen,

A screen similar to the following will appear:

Each of the menu choices above will be explained in the subsequent sections.

4.4.1 Digita( Audio -- Overview

In order to properly set the BD player for the correct audio output settings, a high-level understanding of

the types of audio present on a Blu-Ray or DVD disk is helpful.

First, BD disks typically contain several audio tracks. These include

• the primary audio tracks (the movie's soundtrack),

• an (optional) secondary audio tracks (director's commentary, for example), and

• a sound effects track (a unique sound may be associated with individual menu button pushes
when playing a "special features" game, for example).

In addition, several different methods are used for representing the audio tracks on a disk. These
methods of storing audio data are called codecs, and include:

16

Dolby Digital and DTS
(Digital Theater Systems)
Digital Surround

Dolby Digital Plus

Dolby TrueHD and DTS-
HD

These formats use "accurate but not identical" compression to encode
multichannel (5.1) audio onto a DVD or Blu-Ray disk.

This format offers up to 7.1-channel surround sound, and is only available
on some DVD and Blu-Ray disks. It uses less compression than its Dolby
Digital or DTS counterparts, for a better reproduction of the original movie

soundtrack.
Both of these formats offer up to 7.1 -channel surround sound, and are only

available on (some) Blu-Ray disks.

These formats use "accurate and identical" (sometimes referred to as
"lossless") compression to deliver soundtracks that are identical to the

movie studio's original audio master, for the closest possible reproduction

of the movie theater experience. These Iossless audio codecs can only

be sent out the HDMI output. A compatible HDMI surround receiver is
required in order to play these tracks,

PCM

This storage method is similar to what isfound on a music CD. DVDs often

have a stereo PCM audio track. Some BD discs also feature multichannel
(5.1,6.1, or 7.1 ) PCM soundtracks.

Multichannel PCM soundtracks are uncompressed audio that can

sometimes exactly match the quality of the studio master. The

multichannel Iossless PCM formats are only available on the HDMI

output, A compatible HDMI surround receiver is required in order to

play these tracks,

(Stereo PCM can be output over the SPDIF or TOSlink coax/optical audio

outputs)

A summary of these audio formats is shown in the table below:

Dolby TrueHD

Blu-Ray

Blu-Ray and DVD

All 7.1 Analog

DTS-HD
Dolby Digital Plus

Dolby Digital
DTS

PCM (BD - up to 7.1 channels @192 Khz)
PCM (DVD - stereo only, up to 96 Khz)

Any selected digital track will be decoded, mixed with effects
and secondary channel, and converted to analog.

HDMI

SPDIF or

Toslink

Outputs

(For a detailed description of the audio output capabilities of the BD player, see Appendix C)

Regardless of the type of codec used to store the movie's audio track onto the disk, audio data is always
stored on a disk in a digital format. The BD player therefore has digital audio outputs, so that the digital

audio soundtracks on the disk can be sent straight to a surround-sound receiver, without any loss in
audio quality.

Not all surround-sound receivers are capable of playing back all of the digital audio codecs listed above.

In addition, some surround sound receivers can play pack PCM data, but the data must be sent to the

receiver at a slower rate that what is stored on the Blu-Ray disk.

17

Now that the various types of digital audio codecs have been explained, the next few menu items will be

described in further detail

4.4.2 Digital Output

You can tell the BD player what type of digital audio data to output over HDMI, SPDIF, or TOSlink
with this menu item.

To set the type of audio output data that appears on the digital audio outputs (HDMI, SPDIF, or TOSlink),
from the display menu, press the up/down arrow keys (_) on the remote until the Digital Output choice

in the center of the setup screen is highlighted. Then, press the right arrow key (_) on the remote until

the rightmost portion of the setup screen is highlighted.
The up/down arrow keys (_*_-_)on the remote can then be used to select one of the following digital audio

output formats.

Bitstream HD,
Bitstream Legacy,

Bitstream Mixed,
PCM 5.1,

PCM 7.1
PCM Stereo

Setting these outputs correctly depends on whether you have a surround-sound receiver connected to
the BD player, and the capabilities of the surround sound receiver. Answer the questions below to
determine the optimal digital output setting for your A/V setup:

1. Do you have a stereo audio receiver or surround-sound receiver connected to your BD
player?

If yes, go to question 2.

If not, you should set the output to PCM stereo. This is true regardless of whether the audio is
connected to the TV with HDMI or connected to the TV using the analog stereo outputs.

2. Do you have a multichannel (5.1/7.1 channel) audio receiver connected to the BD player?
If yes, go to question 3.

If not, this means that you have an "old-fashioned" stereo receiver connected to the BD player via the
analog audio outputs. The digital output setting has no effect on the audio going to the analog outputs

of the player, so set the digital audio outputs to PCM stereo.

3. Is your multichannel (5.1/7.1 channel) audio receiver connected to the BD player via one of the
digital audio outputs (HDMI, SPDIF, or TosLink)?

If yes, go to question 4.
If not, this means that your surround receiver is connected to the BD player via the analog audio

outputs. The digital output setting has no effect on the audio going to the analog outputs of the player,
set the digital audio outputs to PCM stereo.

4. Is your multichannel (5.1/7.1 channel) audio receiver connected to more than two speakers?
If yes, go to question 5.

If no, set the digital output to PCM Stereo (or buy more speakers).

5. Is your multichannel (5.1/7.1 channel) audio receiver connected to the BD player via HDMI?
If yes, go to question 6.
If no, set the digital output based on the table below

4.4.3 PCM Downsampling

You can use this menu item to tell the BD player whether your surround receiver can handle high-

bitrate PCM signals over the SPDIF/TOSlink interface.

To inform the BD player of your surround sound receiver's PCM capabilities, press the up/down arrow

keys (_-_) on the remote until the PCM Downsampling choice in the center of the setup screen is
highlighted. Then, press the right arrow key (_) on the remote until the rightmost portion of the setup
screen is highlighted.

The up/down arrow keys (_---_)on the remote can then be used to select the maximum PCM sample rate
output by the BD player.

If you don't have a surround sound receiver connected to the BD player, you should set the PCM
downsampling to 48 Khz, and proceed to the next setup menu item. This is true regardless of whether

the audio is connected to the TV with HDMI, SPDIF, or the analog stereo outputs
If you have a surround sound receiver connected to the BD player, and you have connected to the

surround receiver via the BD player's analoq multichannel audio outputs, this setting has no effect
on the audio going to the analog outputs of the player. Set the PCM downsampling to 48 Khz, and
proceed to the next setup menu item.

If you have a surround sound receiver connected to the BD player, and you have connected to the
surround receiver via the BD player's HDMI output, this setting has no effect on the audio going to the
HDMI output of the player. Set the PCM downsampling to 48 Khz, and proceed to the next setup menu

item.
If you have a surround sound receiver connected to the BD player via SPDIF (or TOSlink), set this

menu item to the maximum PCM sampling rate that your surround receiver can accept (48 Khz or 96
Khz).

If in doubt, consult your surround receiver's manual or set to 48 KHz.

4.4.4 Dynamic Range Control

Dynamic Range Control means that you can allow the BD player to make the loud parts of a
movie's audio track quieter than they would be in the theatre, without making the dialog of the

actors any quieter.

This would be useful, for instance, when you want to watch a movie inthe evening when others might be
sleeping.

20

To tell the BD player whether you want the loud noises in the movie to be quieter, press the up/down
arrow keys (_) on the remote until the Dynamic Range Control menu choice in the center of the setup
screen is highlighted. Then, press the right arrow key (_) on the remote until the rightmost portion of the

setup screen is highlighted.
The up/down arrow keys (_._) on the remote can then be used to turn dynamic range compression (loud

noise quieting) on or off.

Selecting the "Auto" option turns on the Dynamic range control for all BD movie soundtracks excepj_Dolby
TruHD. If you have selected a TruHD track on the BD disk, the "auto" selection tells the BD player to only
turn on dynamic range control if information embedded in the TruHD sound track tells it to do so.

4.4.5 Dialogue Normalization

"Dialogue Normalization" uses a piece of non-sound data placed in digital soundtracks so that

the dialog in all movies will play at about the same volume levels, assuming you never touched
the volume controls of the player or the TV.

Some audio purists prefer to tell the BD player to ignore this non-audio data, so that they can listen to the
movie's soundtrack unaltered. However, only Dolby TruHD soundtracks allow Dialogue Normalization to

be turned off.

To set whether the BD player ignores the dialog normalization data in a Dolby TruHD soundtrack or not,
press the up/down arrow keys (_.-_)on the remote until the Dialogue Normalization choice inthe center

of the setup screen is highlighted. Then, press the right arrow key (_) on the remote until the rightmost
portion of the setup screen is highlighted.

The up/down arrow keys (_) on the remote can then be used to select whether dialog normalization is
enabled or disabled.

Selecting the "Default" option tells the BD player to only turn on dialogue normalization if information on
the disk tells it to do so.

21

4.5 PARENTAL CONTROL
To set the player's parental control settings, from the main setup menu, press the up/down arrow keys on

the remote until the "Parental Control" menu choice is highlighted.

Attempting to change any of these items initially will result in the following screen appearing:

The first time this screen appears, you should enter the default parental password, which is 0000. (This

can be changed later). Be advised that as you type these numbers, a .....will appear on the screen.

Once you are done entering the parental control password, you will be automatically returned to the
parental menu.

You can then configure the BD player for various levels of parental control, as described inthe next
sections.

4.5.1 Parental Country
