[. . . ] The default settings of the DVD player is 0 dB for all channels. In case you feel adjustments are necessary in your setup, we advise you to make the adjustments using the internal test tone generator. Once the cursor is moved to any of the speaker level icons, the test noise will be heard from the corresponding speaker. If this is not the case please check whether the loudspeaker is connected to the correct loudspeaker output on the rear panel. The speaker level can be adjusted by pressing ENTER and selecting an appropriate level indicated in the Lower Menu Line. The test noise will stop as soon as the cursor is moved away from any speaker level icon. Audio Adjustment Audio Settings The Audio Setting Submenu contains the following settings. Follow the explanations in the Upper Menu Line on the bottom of your screen to change the settings. Preferred Audio Language: Defines your preferred audio language. Every time a disc is played that contains this audio language, it will be activated automatically. If you do not find your preferred language in the list of options, you can select your preferred language by selecting OTHER, and than typing a 4-digit code found in the code list on page 27. SYSTEM SETUP 19 ENGLISH System Setup Video Settings Video Mode: This setting affects only the Component Video Outputs, and it controls how the video signals are optimized for progressive scan display. In most cases, the "automatic" mode is your best choice, as it senses whether the disc being played was originally recorded on video or shot on film. However, in some cases you may wish to compensate for errors in the disc authoring that occur when the frame rate is not properly maintained when films are converted to video. Three choices are available: · Auto: This is the recommended setting, as it lets the HS System analyze the signals from the DVD and adjust the output accordingly. · Movie: Choose this option for optimal playback of material that was shot on film, even though you are viewing it on video via a DVD. · Video: Choose this option for optimal playback of material that was shot directly to video, such as concerts and sports programming. The Video Setting Submenu contains the following settings. Follow the explanations in the Upper Menu Line on the bottom of your screen to change the settings. Aspect Ratio: This step selects the TV aspect ratio, conventional screen shape (4:3) or widescreen (16:9), according to your TV. If you have a conventional 4:3 TV that can (automatically) switch to show a 16:9 format, you should select 16:9 rather than 4:3. TV Standard: Sets the output video format i. e. If you have a multi standard TV, we recommend the AUTO setting for optimal picture quality. Scan Type: Sets the component video output to Interlace or Progressive. [. . . ] The picture data is compressed to about 1/40 of its original size. The DVD also uses the variable rate coding technology that changes the data to be allocated according to the status of the picture. The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS and/or PCM, allowing you to enjoy more natural audio presence. Furthermore, various advanced functions such as multi-angle, multilingual, and subtitles may be provided with the DVD. [. . . ]
