This player is designed only for playback of discs with Region Code 2, or for discs that do not contain Region Code information. [. . . ] Auto Play: Change this setting to On to have the DMC 250 play any loaded disc automatically when it is turned on. At the default Off setting, you will have to begin playback manually. Select the ON setting to activate the DMC 250's closed captioning decoder so that these messages may be viewed. (one per channel) will be output through the HDMI Output for playback by your receiver. · Bitstream: This setting may be used with receivers that are capable of decoding digital multichannel formats from the HDMI stream. · Off: Use this setting if your receiver is not capable of processing the audio portion of the HDMI stream and you have made a separate digital audio connection from the DMC 250 to the receiver. No audio will be passed to the HDMI Output. PCM Limit: This setting affects playback of highresolution (96kHz or greater) audio materials. If your receiver is capable of handling signals greater than 48kHz, select the No Limit 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-resolution materials will be downsampled to 48kHz. If you select the No Limit 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 DMC 250 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, the DMC 250 will always output the original DTS 96/24 signal. Changing the PCM Limit setting to 48kHz will have no effect. Dynamic Range: This setting allows you to take advantage of the programming present on some Dolby Digital recordings to reduce the volume of louder passages while maintaining intelligibility of quieter passages. This means that you may 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 DMC 250 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 playback, 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. Feel free to experiment with the settings at any time.
