[. . . ] 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 47 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. 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 47 and should leave the setting at MAXIMUM. SACD: SACD discs may contain up to three separate versions of the program, depending on the specific disc. Use this setting to choose the 2-channel or 5. 1-channel version of the program, as well as the conventional "CD" version available on special hybrid discs. IMPORTANT NOTE: SACD audio is available only in analog form, and no signal is available using either of the Digital Audio Outputs 34. To listen to SACD discs, connect the Analog Audio Outputs 8 or the 6-Channel Audio Outputs 9 to your receiver. While DVD-Audio also is output only in analog form, many discs also contain PCM, Dolby Digital or DTS digital tracks and may be played through the Digital Audio Outputs 34. Delay Unit: This setting selects the unit of distance used for calculating delay times when the AUDIO ADJUSTMENTS menu is activated. The default unit is feet, but you may select meters. Bass Management: This setting activates the AUDIO ADJUSTMENTS menu's bass management settings, to optimize playback of DVD-Audio and SACD discs through the Analog Audio Outputs 89. Three settings are available: · On: This is the default setting. If your receiver or processor is equipped with "direct" 6-channel inputs and the receiver is not capable of performing bass management on these inputs, then leave this setting on the DVD 47 at the default of On, and proceed to the AUDIO ADJUSTMENTS menu to program the bass management settings. · Bypass: If your receiver or processor is equipped with 6-channel inputs and is capable of adjusting the bass management settings (speaker size, output levels and delay times) for its 6-channel analog inputs, then Harman Kardon recommends that you change this setting to Bypass, and adjust the bass management settings on your receiver. · Stereo: If your receiver or processor is not equipped with 6-channel inputs at all, then change this setting to Stereo, which will send a downmixed 2-channel signal to the Analog Audio Outputs 8, for use with any 2-channel analog input on your receiver. You may then select an analog surround mode available on your receiver. IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to avoid audio problems, when the DVD 47 is connected to a receiver or processor that does have the capability to adjust bass management parameters for its multichannel inputs, you have the option to either use that capability or adjust the settings in the DVD 47. The preferred method of operation is to use the receiver for these adjustments.
