[. . . ] 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 27 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 message 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 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 DVD 27 accomplishes this by compressing the audio to a greater or lesser degree, depending on which setting you choose. Three options are available: · MINIMUM 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. · MAXIMUM 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 27 and should leave the setting at MINIMUM. Video Setup Submenu This menu establishes the DVD's configuration for video format settings such as aspect ratio and output scan. It also allows access to the Video Adjustments banner (see next section). As with all setup menus, press the Setup Button j to activate the main menu screen, and then press the /¤ Navigation Buttons n until the VIDEO SETUP icon is highlighted, and then press the Enter Button s. § to your TV in order to view the on-screen menus and change this setting. Scan Type: This setting allows you to select between progressive and interlaced scanning for the Component Video Outputs to maximize the image resolution for the type of video display in use. Note that the output at the S-Video ¶ and Composite Video § outputs will always be standard-rate video that is compatible with any television set or video display. Two choices are available: · Progressive: Select this option if you have a video display that is compatible with input sources of 480P or greater. Displays labeled as "HDTV Ready, " including virtually all large-screen LCD and plasma displays, are compatible with progressive scan. · Interlaced: Select this option when you are using an older video display that has Y/Pr/Pb component inputs, but which is not capable of displaying high scan rate, or "HD" signals. The Scan Type may only be changed when the Video Output setting has been set to Component. If you have connected the DVD 27 to a video display that is not capable of displaying progressive scan video using the Component (Y/Pr/Pb) Video Outputs , and you have inadvertently changed the Video Output Setting to Component and the Scan Type setting to Progressive, you may reset the scan type to interlaced by pressing the Progressive Scan/Interlaced Button r. The display will blink, indicating that the scan type has been reset to interlaced mode. [. . . ] If needed, press the Progressive Scan/Interlaced Button H to toggle to the correct mode. · Press Video Off Button F to reactivate video circuitry (see page 27). · There is no audio playback on DVD discs during fast or slow modes. · Use analog audio outputs.
