Frequently Asked Questions - DV-12S1 MARANTZ

What to do if the disc is ejected automatically after insertion?

Check that the disc is not dirty or damaged and that it is correctly positioned in the tray guide. Make sure the DVD video region number matches the player (zone 2 for Europe). If condensation has formed, wait about one hour before using the unit.

How to set the parental lock?

Press SETUP, go to the General menu, then Parental Lock. To change the level, select Level Change, enter your password (default: 0000 or create one), then choose the level from 1 (least restrictive) to 8 (most restrictive). You can also change the password in the Password Change option.

Why is there no picture or are the colors incorrect?

Check the video connections (composite, S-Video, component or SCART) and the Video Out setting in the Setup menu. Make sure the TV is on the correct input. If using component output, set COMP VIDEO in the FL menu to INTERLACE (or PROGRESSIVE if compatible). Also check that the VIDEO ON/OFF switch is enabled.

The remote control does not work, what should I do?

Check the batteries (replace if necessary) and the range (about 5 meters, 30° angle). Make sure the remote sensor is not obstructed. If the player is connected to a Marantz system, check that the REMOTE CONTROL switch is in the correct position (INTERNAL for standalone use, EXTERNAL for system). Ensure the remote code (DVD1 or DVD2) matches the setting in the FL menu (REMOT CODE).

How to play a CD video with PBC menu?

Insert the CD video, playback will start automatically and the PBC menu (Playback Control) will be displayed. Use the numeric keys to select an option, the RETURN key to return to the menu, and the ◄◄/►► keys to change pages. To disable PBC, stop playback with ■ and restart by directly pressing a track number.

How to program a playlist?

Press PROGRAM during playback or stop. For a DVD, choose Program Chapter or Program Title, then enter chapter/title numbers using the numeric keys. For a CD, directly enter track numbers. You can store up to 24 tracks and for DVDs up to 24 lists. Press ENTER to start programmed playback.

How to use the Last Memory function?

During DVD video playback, briefly press LAST MEMO(RY) at the point where you want to resume later. Stop the disc. To resume, reinsert the disc and press LAST MEMO(RY) again. The player can memorize the last positions for 5 DVDs (and 1 CD video, but the disc must remain in the player). Press CLEAR to clear the memory.

What types of discs are compatible with the Marantz DV-12S1?

The player reads DVD video (zone 2), DVD audio, CD audio, CD video, as well as finalized CD-R and CD-RW. Non-compatible formats are: DVD-RAM, DVD-ROM, CD-ROM, SACD and Photo CD. Discs must have the appropriate logos (DVD, CD, etc.).

How to clean the unit and the lens?

For the exterior, use a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn stains, dampen a cloth with a diluted neutral detergent solution (1 part detergent to 5-6 parts water), wring well, clean, then dry. Never use benzene, thinner or alcohol. For the optical pickup lens, use a commercially available lens cleaning kit. Avoid direct finger contact.

What to do in case of condensation inside the player?

If the unit is moved from a cold environment to a warm room, condensation may form. This does not damage the unit but may temporarily affect performance. Let the player adjust to room temperature for about one hour before turning it on and playing a disc.

FOREWORD

This section must be read carefully before any connection is made to the mains supply.

WARNINGS

Do not expose the equipment to rain or moisture.

Do not remove the cover from the equipment.

Do not insert anything into the equipment through the ventilation holes.

Do not handle the mains lead with wet hands.

Make a space of about 0.1 meter around the unit.

EQUIPMENT MAINS WORKING SETTING

Your Marantz product complies with the household power and safety requirements in your area.

IMPORTANT: (FOR UK version only)

This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2. Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3. Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.

If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5A. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5A.

NOTE : The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.

HOW TO CONNECT A PLUG

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

BLUE—"NEUTRAL" ("N")

BROWN—"LIVE" ("L")

1. The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter "N" or coloured BLACK.
2. The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter "L" or coloured RED.
3. Do not connect either wires to the earth terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter "E" or by the safety earth symbol or coloured green or green-and-yellow.

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead — not simply over the two wires.

Superlative audio performance from built in DVD-Audio, Dolby Digital\*, DTS\*\* and MPEG decoders

The 192kHz/24bit-compatible DAC inside the DV-12S1 delivers breath-taking sound quality with DVD-Audio, Dolby Digital and DTS discs.

The DV-12S1 is compatible with both 2-channel (192kHz/24bit) and multi-channel (96kHz/24bit) DVD-Audio discs thanks to its 5.1-channel audio outputs.

In addition, Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG decoders are built-in so you can connect the DV-12S1 directly to an AV amplifier with 5.1 channel inputs to enjoy cinema-like surround sound.

525 line progressive-scan component video output (NTSC output only)

Compared to standard interlaced video, progressive scan effectively doubles the amount of video information fed to your TV or monitor. The result is a rock-steady, flicker-free image. (Check your TV/monitor for compatibility with this feature.)

For the very highest picture quality, try watching a movie on DVD-Video in PureCinema mode on a progressive-scan compatible TV.

The DV-12S1 offers complete flexibility and compatibility with all types of AV equipment with dual composite video, S-Video and AV connector outputs, as well as component video outs.

Digital Noise Reduction PRO (Video Quality Enhancer)

This new type of DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) for encoding video enables you to adjust the video settings on a more detailed and exact level. There are three possible settings to choose from. These include: TV (CRT), Projector, and Professional. This technology can remember which setting you've chosen and employ it at the proper time.

New graphical Setup Navigator

Setting up the DV-12S1 is made as easy as possible using a graphical Setup Navigator. Answer the questions that appear on-screen and the Setup Navigator makes all the necessary audio, video and language settings for you.

Caractéristiques

Checking what's in the box

Thank you for buying this MARANTZ product. Before starting to set up your new DVD player, please check that you have received the following supplied accessories:

• Audio/Video cable • Operating instructions
• Power Cord • System Control cable
• Remote control unit • Two 'AAA' size R03P batteries

Using this manual

This manual is for the DV-12S1 DVD Player. It is divided into several sections: setting up (chapters 1 and 2); using the player (chapters 4 and 5); player settings and preferences (chapters 6 through 10). Chapter 11 provides information on discs, a glossary of terms used in throughout this manual, and a troubleshooting section.

To get up and running as quickly as possible, follow the Easy setup instructions on page 10, then turn to Getting started (page 20).

Putting the batteries in the remote

1 While pushing the tab on the battery compartment cover toward the center of the remote, pull out in the direction indicated by the arrow.
2 Insert batteries. Make sure to match the plus (+) and minus (−) polarity guides on the batteries with the marks inside the battery compartment.
3 Close the cover.

Caution!

Incorrect use of batteries can result in hazards such as leakage and bursting. Please observe the following:

• Don't mix new and old batteries together.
• Don't use different kinds of battery together—although they may look similar, different batteries may have different voltages.
• Make sure that the plus and minus ends of each battery match the indications in the battery compartment.
• Remove batteries from equipment that isn't going to be used for a month or more.

When disposing of used batteries, please comply with governmental regulations or environmental public instruction's rules that apply in your country or area.

Using the remote control

Keep in mind the following when using the remote control:

• Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote and the remote sensor on the unit.
• Use within the operating range and angle, as shown.

• Remote operation may become unreliable if strong sunlight or fluorescent light is shining on the unit's remote sensor.
• Remote controllers for different devices can interfere with each other. Avoid using remotes for other equipment located close to this unit.
• Replace the batteries when you notice a fall off in the operating range of the remote.

Hints on installation

We want you to enjoy using this unit for years to come, so please bear in mind the following points when choosing a suitable location for it:

Do...

√ Use in a well-ventilated room.
√ Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or stereo rack.

Don't...

✗ Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or humidity, including near radiators and other heat-generating appliances.
✗ Place on a window sill or other place where the player will be exposed to direct sunlight.
✗ Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment.
✗ Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component in your stereo system that becomes hot in use.
✗ Use near a television or monitor as you may experience interference—especially if the television uses an indoor antenna.

✗ Use in a kitchen or other room where the player may be exposed to smoke or steam.
✗ Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloth—this may prevent proper cooling of the unit.
✗ Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large enough to support all four of the unit's feet.

Avoiding problems with condensation

Condensation may form inside the player if it is brought into a warm room from outside, or if the temperature of the room rises quickly. Although the condensation won't damage the player, it may temporarily impair its performance. For this reason you should leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour before switching on and using.

Moving the player

When changing places of installation or packing the unit for moving, be sure to remove the disc and return the disc table to its original position in the player. Then, press Power switch to turn off, then disconnect the power cord. Moving this unit with the disc loaded may result in damage to this unit.

When moving the unit

When changing places of installation or packing the unit for moving, be sure to remove the disc and return the disc table to its original position in the player. Then, press Power switch to turn off, then disconnect the power cord. Moving this unit with the disc loaded may result in damage to this unit.

Power cord caution

Handle the power cord by the plug part. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord, and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet, as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, or other object on the power cord or pinch the cord in any other way. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an electric shock. Check the power cord once in a while. If you find it damaged, ask your nearest MARANIZ service center or your dealer for a replacement.

2 Conncting Up/Raccordement

Easy Setup

Important: Before making or changing any rear panel connections, make sure that all components are switched off and unplugged from the wall outlet.

This easy setup is the minimum set of connections you need to start watching DVD video discs. Both sound and picture are fed directly to your TV using the supplied audio/video cables. For other possible connections, see pages 12 and 14.

Connecting audio and video cables

Be sure to insert each plug fully for the best connection. The plugs and jacks are colour-coded to make connection easier.

System Control Connections

REMOTE CONTROL IN/OUT jacks

By connecting this DVD player to another Marantz audio component using a supplied System Control cable, you can remotely operate the components as a single system.

• When connecting to component with a remote sensor (such as the SR-14, SR-18, SR-19), be sure to connect the "REMOTE CONTROL IN" jack of this DVD player to the "REMOTE CONTROL OUT" jack of the component with the remote sensor.
• When connecting to component which is not equipped with a remote sensor, be sure to connect the component to the “REMOTE CONTROL OUT” jack of this DVD player.

Synchronized power on and off

- Connect with the remote control output jack of a component (such as the SR-14, SR-18, SR-19) which is compatible with Marantz remote control system. The remote control allows to switch the power of this DVD player to "POWER ON and Standby mode".

Note

be sure to leave power switch on the Front panel in the power mode.

Remote switch

- When using this DVD player independently, set this switch to "INTERNAL". When using this DVD player in a system with a Marantz tuner or timer equipped with a remote sensor, set the switch to "EXTERNAL.

Home theater video connections

Important: Before making or changing any rear panel connections, make sure that all components are switched off and unplugged from the wall outlet.

This player outputs video in a number of different ways. Choose the one most suitable for your system using the guide below.

1

If your TV/monitor has component video inputs instead of a SCART input, connect them to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks on this player.

2

If your TV has a SCART input, we recommend using it to connect directly to the TV output on this player.

3

If neither SCART nor component inputs are available to you, connect this player to your TV or AV receiver using either the VIDEO OUT or S1/S2-VIDEO OUT jacks.

Connecting SCART and S-Video cables

SCART and S-Video cables will only plug in one way, so make sure the plug is correctly lined up with the jack before inserting. Be sure to fully insert for a good connection.

Note: The TV connector can output composite, S-Video or RGB component video; the AUX SCART connector only outputs composite video. If you connect just one TV, use the TV connector. You can select the type of video output by changing the Video Out setting in the Setup Menu (page 52, 53).

S-Video or composite video?

S-Video should give a better picture, so if you have an S-Video input, use it. S-Video cables are available from any good audio/visual dealer.

Home theater audio connections

Important: Before making or changing any rear panel connections, make sure that all components are switched off and unplugged from the wall outlet.

This player outputs multi-channel audio in both analog and digital form. Check the manual for your amplifier/receiver to see what equipment it is compatible with (especially which digital formats—Dolby Digital, DTS, etc.—it can decode).

Connecting optical cables

Before plugging in an optical cord, pull out the protective cover from the optical jack.

Optical interconnects only plug in one way, so make sure the plug is correctly lined up with the jack before inserting. You should hear it click into position when fully inserted.

This chapter covers setting up your player using the Setup Navigator and using all the basic playback controls.

Using the Setup Navigator

Before playing any discs in the player, we strongly recommend using The Setup Navigator. This makes all the basic player settings for you.

1 Press the POWER button on the front panel to switch on.

Also turn on your TV, and amplifier/receiver (if you connected one). Make sure that your TV is set to the correct video input.

• If a disc already loaded starts playing, press ■ to stop it.
• The POWER button on the remote control switches the unit between standby and on.

2 Press SETUP.

The Setup Navigator on-screen display (OSD) appears:

Navigate all of the following OSDs using these controls:

Joystick up/down – cursor up/down

ENTER – select the highlighted menu option

Joystick left – go back to the previous question

The control possibilities for the current OSD are shown at the bottom of each screen.

Introduction

- If you decide you don't want to use the Setup Navigator, select Auto Start Off here instead.

4 Choose an OSD menu language.

5 Select the type of TV you have.

- See Aspect ratio in the glossary on page 78 if you're unsure of the difference between widescreen and standard TVs.

6 Select the type of analog audio connections you made to your amplifier/receiver.

- If you connected the audio output directly to your TV following the Easy setup on page 10, choose 2 Channel.

7 If you selected 5.1 Channel audio connections in step 6, confirm which speakers are connected to your amplifier.

8 Confirm the digital audio formats your amplifier is compatible with (if you made a digital connection).

• All options (except Not Connected) assume PCM compatibility. The PCM option means only compatible with PCM.
• More information on these audio formats is available in the glossary on page 78.
• Consult the manual that came with your amplifier if you're unsure about compatibility with any of the formats mentioned.

9 Confirm whether your amplifier is compatible with 96kHz audio.

- You won't see this screen if you selected Not Connected in step 8.

- Selecting Don't Know has the same effect as selecting No: any 96kHz audio will be downsampled to 48kHz. This is a more compatible sampling frequency. See Sampling frequency in the glossary on page 80 for more on this.

10 Confirm all the settings.

11 Press SETUP to exit.

Congratulations, you've set up your player! If you want to use the Setup Navigator again at any time, it is available from the General menu. Also, each individual setting can be changed using the appropriate menu option—chapters 6 to 10 explain all menu options in detail.

* Press the joystick for ENTER

About MOD. (Modulation) PAL

- SHRINK

Most models of the newly developed countdown PAL TV system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz (NTSC) and automatically switch vertical amplitude, resulting in a display without vertical shrinkage.

- If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may not be able to view NTSC disc because the picture may roll. If the TV has a V-Hold control, adjust it until the picture stops rolling. On some TVs, the picture may shrink vertically, leaving black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction; it is caused by the NTSC → PAL conversion.

Note

When playing Video CDs, the TV SYSTEM setting has no effect with playback stops.

If your TV/monitor is compatible with progressive scan video, set this setting to either PROGRESSIV or IN MENU. When set to IN MENU, you can use the on-screen Setup menu to switch between progressive [Component (Prog.)] and interlaced [Component] video output.

If your TV/monitor is not progressive scan compatible, you will not be able to see any picture if this player is set to output progressive scan video. In this case, set the setting to INTERLACE to restore the picture (page 52, 53).

When watching DVD discs recorded in 4:3 format ('regular' TV size) on a widescreen TV, it can be difficult to see the operation displays (Play, Stop, Resume, etc.) at the top of the screen. If you find them hard to read, set the On Screen Display (Expert mode) to Position-Wide.

If you prefer not to have the operation displays (Play, Stop, Resume, etc.) shown on-screen, change the On Screen Display setting to Off.

Video > On Screen Display > Position-Wide Position-Normal Off

If you have a widescreen TV, select the 16:9 (Wide) setting—widescreen DVD software is then shown using the full screen area. When playing software recorded in conventional (4:3) format, the settings on your TV will determine how the material is presented—see the manual that came with your TV for details on what options are available.

If you have a conventional TV, choose either 4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan & Scan). In Letter Box mode, widescreen software is shown with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. Pan & Scan chops the sides off widescreen material to make it fit the 4:3 screen (so even though the picture looks larger on the screen, you're actually seeing less of the movie). See page 87 for more information.

Video Out

- Default setting: AV(Video)

These settings are only applicable if you're using the TV A/V EURO connector or the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks.

Important: if you make a setting here that is incompatible with your TV, the TV may not display any picture at all. If this happens either switch everything off and reconnect to the TV using either the supplied composite video cable, or an S-Video cable (see page 12 for more on this), or reset the unit (see page 86 for how to do this). If you're using the component video outs, you can also set the video out to INTERLACE using the FL menu setting (see page 24-26).

AV(Video) – Compatible with all TVs, but lowest quality of the three AV settings.

AV(S-Video) - Almost the same quality as AV(RGB), but can give better results if you are using a long SCART cable.

AV(RGB) – If your TV is compatible, this setting gives the best picture quality.

Component (Prog.) — Select if your TV/monitor accepts 525 line (NTSC) progressive scan (non-interlace) component video—check the manual that came with your TV/monitor. (This setting only applies to NTSC discs; the player always outputs an interlaced signal when playing PAL discs.)

Component – Select if you're using a TV/monitor with component video inputs.

Note: when AV(RGB) is selected, no signal is output from the component video jacks. When either Component option is selected, an AV(Video) signal is output from the A/V EUROCONNECTOR outputs.

Depending on the position of the FL menu COMP VIDEO setting (see page 24-26), not all options will be available:

If the FL menu COMP VIDEO is set to INTERLACE, you can't select Component (prog.).

If the FL menu COMP VIDEO is set to PROGRESSIVE, you can't select Component.

S-Video Out (Expert menu)

- Default setting: S2

You only need to make this setting if you connected this player to your TV using an S-Video cord.

If you find that the picture is stretched or distorted on the default S2 setting, try changing it to S1.

$$ \begin{array}{c} \text {Video > On Screen Display > S1} \ \text {S2} \end{array} $$

The player uses one of two processes when displaying a still frame from a DVD disc. The default Auto setting lets the player decide which to use.

Field - produces a stable, generally shake-free image.

Frame – produces a sharper image, but more prone to shake than field stills.

Angle Indicator (Expert menu)

- Default setting: On

If you prefer not to see the camera icon on-screen during multi-angle scenes on DVD discs, change the Angle Indicator setting to Off.

Frame Search (Expert menu)

- Default setting: Off

Set this to On if you want to be able to do frame-accurate searching of DVD discs (see page 36 for how to do a time & frame search). On the default setting, the time & frame search is not available.

Adjusting the video quality

There are several preset picture quality settings that suit various program types. Alternatively, set up your own and save them in the player's memory.

There are three presets and three user memories.

TV(CRT) - (default setting) optimized settings for a standard television set.

Projector - optimized for a projector or projection TV.

Professional – optimized for a professional monitor.

Memory 1-3 - user setups (see page 57 for more on these).

To create your own setting (1):

You can adjust any or all of the following picture quality factors:

Prog. Motion - When using progressive scan, this adjusts the motion and still picture quality.

PureCinema – When watching DVD movies, PureCinema optimizes the picture quality. The default setting is Auto, but if the picture appears unnatural, then set to On or Off as desired and adjust the Prog. Motion setting (see above). See PureCinema in the glossary starting on page 80.

YNR - Adjusts the amount of noise reduction (NR) applied to the Y (brightness) component.

CNR – Adjusts the amount of noise reduction (NR) applied to the C (colour) component.

MNR (Mosquito Noise Reduction) – Adjusts the amount of noise reduction applied to the mosquito noise (video artifacts on the edge of the image resulting from MPEG compression).

BNR (Block Noise Reduction) — Adjusts the amount of noise reduction applied to the block noise.

Sharpness High - Adjusts the sharpness of the high-frequency (finely detailed) elements in the picture.

Sharpness Mid - Adjusts the sharpness of the mid-frequency (less detailed) elements in the picture.

Detail - Adjusts how sharp edges appear in the picture.

White Level - Adjusts the intensity of white in the picture.

Black Level - Adjusts the intensity of black in the picture.

Black Setup – For correction of floating black colour.

Hue — Adjusts the overall colour balance between red and green. (This is only effective with NTSC video when the player is connected using the VIDEO OUT or S-VIDEO OUT signals.)

Chroma Level – Adjusts how saturated colours appear.

Chroma Delay - Compensates for misalignment of the Y (brightness) and the C (colour) components.

You only need to make this setting if you connected the player to another component (amplifier, etc.) using one of the digital outs. If the other component has a built-in Dolby Digital decoder, set this to Dolby Digital, otherwise set to Dolby Digital ▶ PCM (Dolby Digital audio is converted to more compatible PCM audio). Check the manual that came with the other component if you're unsure whether it is Dolby Digital compatible.

Audio 1 > Dolby Digital Out > Dolby Digital Dolby Digital ▶ PCM

DTS Out

- Default setting: Off

You only need to make this setting if you connected the player to another component (amplifier, etc.) using one of the digital outs. If your amplifier has a built-in DTS decoder, set this to DTS, otherwise set to Off. Check the manual that came with the other component if you're unsure whether it is DTS compatible.

Sortie Dolby Digital

You only need to make this setting if you connected the player to another component (amplifier, etc.) using one of the digital outs. If your amplifier is compatible with high sampling rates (96 kHz), set this to Down Sample Off, otherwise set it to Down Sample On (96 kHz audio is converted to a more compatible 48 kHz). Check the manual that came with the other component if you're unsure whether it is 96 kHz compatible.

- If Digital Out is set to On and Linear PCM Out is set to Down Sample On, you'll see the message Digital Out Converted appear on-screen when either the AUDIO button is pressed or when playing 192 kHz source material.

Audio 1 > Linear PCM Out > Down Sample On Down Sample Off

MPEG Out

- Default setting: MPEG ▶ PCM

You only need to make this setting if you connected the player to another component (amplifier, etc.) using one of the digital outs. If your amplifier is compatible with MPEG audio, set this to MPEG, otherwise set it to MPEG ▶ PCM (MPEG audio is converted to more compatible PCM audio). Check the manual that came with the other component if you're unsure whether it is MPEG audio compatible.

Sortie PCM linéaire

If at any time you need to switch off the digital audio output, set this to Off, otherwise leave it On. Note that you can't switch on/off the optical and coaxial outputs individually.

Audio 1 > Digital Out > On Off 

Audio DRC

- Default setting: Off

When watching Dolby Digital DVDs at low volume, it's easy to lose the low level sounds completely—including some of the dialog. Switching on the Audio DRC (Dynamic Range Compression) setting can help things by bringing up the low level sounds, while keeping the lid on high level peaks.

The Off setting leaves the original dynamics intact; High 'squashes' the dynamics the most, but exactly how much difference you can hear between the settings will depend on the material you're watching.

Remember: Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby Digital audio sources.

If you connected this player to your amplifier using the 5.1 channel analog outputs (front, surround, center and subwoofer outs), set this to 5.1 Channel; if you connected only the stereo outs, set to 2 Channel.

• Even if you set Audio Out to 5.1 Channel, you'll only get sound from all speakers when playing a multi-channel DVD-Audio disc, or Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG encoded DVD disc.
• If you set to 2 Channel, Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio is mixed down to two channels so you still hear all the audio recorded on the disc.
• During the slideshow section of a DVD-Video disc it can take up to 30 seconds for the Audio Out setting to take effect.
• Some DVD-Audio discs don't allow down-mixing of audio. These discs always output multi-channel audio regardless of the setting made here.

Audio 2 > Audio Out > 2Channel 5.1Channel

Sortie audio

* When the Setup screen Audio 1 menu [DTS Out] setting is set to [Off], DTS digital output is muted.

** Discs that prohibit downmixing will be output as 5.1 channel even if [2 Channel] is selected.

*** Discs that prohibit downmixing also mute the digital output.

- Set in Setup Navigator (default: Center: Large | Sub: On | Surround: Large | Distance: all 3.0m)

You only need to make this setting if you connected this player to your amplifier using the 5.1 channel analog outputs.

Follow the on-screen displays to describe which speakers are in your system and their sizes and positions.

Set the size of your speakers in the Size screen. The front left/right (L/R) speakers have a fixed setting of Large. The center (C), left surround (LS) and right surround (RS) speakers can each be set to Large, Small or Off. Set a speaker to Large if the main speaker cone is 12cm or more; set to Small if the it's less than 12cm. Note that the LS and RS speakers cannot be set independently.

The subwoofer (SW) can only be set to On or Off.

The graphic on the right of the screen represents your speaker setup, with the currently selected speaker's name highlighted in blue, and the speakers set to On highlighted in yellow.

Set the distance from your main listening position to each speaker in the Distance screen. The distance setting for any speaker that was set to Off in the Size screen will be grayed out. For the other speakers, enter the distance to the nearest 0.1m (10cm). You can set the distance for the L/R speakers between 0.3m and 9m. Note that you must set the C and SW speakers within 2m of the L/R setting. The LS and RS speakers must be set within -6m and +2m of the L/R setting.

The graphic on the right of the screen represents your speaker setup, with the currently selected speaker's name highlighted in blue, and the speakers set to On highlighted in yellow.

Note: If your subwoofer is placed beyond the adjustment range (L/R±2m), set to the nearest setting possible. Surround sound cohesion should not be affected very much.

You may want to make this setting if you connected this player to your amplifier using the 5.1 channel analog outputs.

Under the default setting, all channels are output at the relative volumes they were recorded at. Change the setting to Variable if you want to adjust the center, subwoofer and surround channel volume levels relative to the front left/right channels. Adjustment is in the range of -6dB to +6dB, in steps of 0.5dB.

• The Gain Setting has no effect on CD and Video CD playback.
• When set to Variable, the overall output level may sound quieter than when set to Fix. This is not a malfunction.

To help you gauge the correct gain levels, set the Test Tone to On (test tone from just that speaker) or Auto (test tone from each speaker in turn) then adjust the gain so that all speakers appear to be the same volume from your listening position.

Follow the on-screen displays to select speakers and set the channel levels.

• You can adjust the Test Tone setting only when the player is stopped.
• Many AV amplifiers allow you to make similar settings at the amplifier stage. In this case, set the channel levels at the player or the amplifier, not both.
• As the test tone plays through a speaker, its name is highlighted in yellow on-screen.

Remember: You can't use the test tone function when the Audio Out setting is 2 Channel (see page 112). The test tone will not work with the disc tray open, or while a disc is playing.

CD Digital Direct (Expert menu)

- Default setting: Off

Setting this to On noticeably increases CD audio quality by bypassing certain audio circuits in the player that audio signal would otherwise pass through. However, this must be set to Off for proper playback of DTS encoded CDs.

Audio 2 > CD Digital Direct > On Off

Remember: If this setting is set to On when a DTS CD is playback, noise is produced.

- Default Setting: English

This setting is your preferred audio language for DVD discs. If the language you specify here is recorded on a disc, the player automatically plays the disc in that language (although this depends on the Auto Language setting—see Auto Language on page 68).

The DVD format recognizes 136 different languages. Choose Other if you want to specify a language other than those listed, then follow the on-screen display to select a language. For languages which are only shown as a code, refer to the language code list on page 81.

Remember: You can switch between the languages recorded on a DVD disc any time during playback using the AUDIO button. (This does not affect this setting.)

French German Italian Spanish Other

- Default Setting: English

You can restrict access to certain discs using this feature. Once set, the player will ask for a four-digit password if a restricted disc is loaded, giving you a degree of control over what your children watch.

The player can be set to one of eight levels. Setting the level at 1 means that any disc that has any level of restriction will need the password in order to watch it, while setting it at level 8 gives unlimited access.

DVD discs are also rated from 1 to 8. Discs rated 1 (or with no rating) generally contain little or no offensive material; discs rated 2, may contain material that some parents may feel is unsuitable for children. Discs rated 8 will almost certainly be unsuitable for children.

Since a disc's rating is up to the manufacturer, it is not possible to give a definitive guide to each level—check the disc box for parental lock details.

Be careful: not all discs that you may consider inappropriate for your children are rated. Unrated discs will always play without requiring the password first.
