Frequently Asked Questions - DV-981HD OPPO

What disc formats does the OPPO DV-981HD support?

The player supports DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, SACD, CD, HDCD, Kodak Picture CD, DivX (3.11–5.1), CD-R/RW, DVD±R/RW, and DVD+R DL discs.

How do I connect the player to a TV using HDMI?

Use the included HDMI cable to connect the HDMI output on the rear panel to the HDMI input on your TV. For best quality, select a matching output resolution by pressing the HDMI button on the remote.

Why is there no picture?

Check that the video cable is properly connected and the TV input is set correctly. If using HDMI, press the HDMI button repeatedly to cycle through resolutions until a supported one is found. Also ensure the TV type (NTSC/PAL) is set correctly using the P/N button or in the Preference Page.

How can I play high-resolution audio from DVD-Audio or SACD?

For full resolution, use either the HDMI output (with a receiver supporting HDMI 1.1 or higher) or the 5.1ch analog audio outputs. Digital coaxial/optical outputs do not support DVD-Audio or SACD due to copyright restrictions.

How do I set up the speaker configuration?

Go to Speaker Setup Page in the Setup Menu. Set the Down-mix mode (e.g., 5.1CH for multi-channel), then choose Large or Small for each speaker and enable the subwoofer if present. Adjust Channel Delay if needed to synchronize audio from different speakers.

What should I do if the remote control doesn't work?

Ensure the batteries are installed correctly and have power. Point the remote at the IR sensor within about 8 meters (26 ft) and within ±30 degrees. Replace batteries if operation becomes erratic. Remove batteries if not using for a long time.

How do I resume playback from where I stopped?

Press STOP once to enter pre-stop mode; pressing PLAY/PAUSE resumes from that point. To save the position even after ejecting the disc or turning off the player, press EJECT while playing; the position is memorized and playback will automatically resume from that point next time the disc is inserted.

Can I play DivX files on this player?

Yes, the DV-981HD is DivX Certified. Insert a disc with DivX files; the disc navigation menu appears. Select a file and press SELECT to play. Subtitle font size can be adjusted in the General Setup Page under Subtitle Font.

How do I clean the player?

Disconnect the power. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the cabinet and controls. For stubborn dirt, slightly moisten the cloth with water or a mild detergent solution. Never use abrasive pads, scouring powder, alcohol, or benzene. Avoid exposure to moisture.

What is the warranty period and how do I get service?

The DV-981HD comes with a limited one-year warranty from the original purchase date. Register your product at www.oppodigital.com/registration.asp. For service, contact OPPO customer service ([e-mail] or 650-961-1118) to obtain an RMA number before shipping.

Making the Video Connection

HDMI Connection

Method 1 – HDMI Connection Directly to TV

• If your TV has an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) input, you can use the included HDMI cable to connect the DVD player to the TV. This connection method delivers both video and audio in pure digital format via a single cable. The HDMI video output of the DVD player presents the highest possible resolutions and video quality.
• You may connect the composite video or S-Video cable to the TV for trouble-shooting purpose, just in case there is a problem with HDMI. However it is not recommended to use the composite video or S-Video as the primary method of video delivery to the TV, because using it will lose the advantage of video up-conversion and you will only get standard definition video.

DVI Connection

Method 2 – DVI Connection to TV

• If your TV has a DVI input, you can purchase an HDMI-DVI adapter cable to connect the DVD player to the TV. This connection method delivers digital video to the TV without any signal degradation. The HDMI video output of the OPPO DVD player presents the highest possible resolutions and video quality.
• Please use the Red/White audio cables to connect the MIXED audio output of the DVD player to the TV. Make sure the audio cables are connected to the same input terminal group on the TV as the DVI input. Usually the input terminals are marked as "DVI Audio" or "PC Audio". On some TVs you may need to use an RCA-3.5mm Mini-Jack adapter cable to connect the audio.
• You may connect the composite video or S-Video cable to the TV for trouble-shooting purpose, just in case there is a problem with DVI. However it is not recommended to use the composite video or S-Video as the primary method of video delivery to the TV, because using it will lose the advantage of video up-conversion and you will only get standard definition video.

Method 3 – HDMI Connection to Receiver and TV

- HDMI can transmit both audio and video signals over a single cable. If you have an HDMI-capable receiver that can support HDMI audio, you can simply run an HDMI cable from the DVD player to your receiver and enable HDMI audio on the receiver (see your receiver's owners' manual for more information). The receiver usually has an HDMI output that you can connect to your TV to pass video signal.

Method 5 – Digital Audio Connection

- Please use either a 75-Ohm coaxial digital audio cable with RCA-style connectors or an S/PDIF optical digital audio cable to connect one of the digital audio outputs to the corresponding input terminal on your A/V receiver.

NOTE

• Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. "Dolby" and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.
• "DTS" and "DTS Digital Out" are trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.
• Due to copy-control restrictions and bandwidth limitation, full resolution audio output from DVD-Audio or SACD playback cannot be sent through the coaxial or optical digital audio output. To listen to DVD-Audio or SACD in full resolution, please use HDMI or 5.1ch analog audio connections.

Connecting to a Stereo or Surround Audio System

Method 6 – Stereo Analog Audio Connection

- If your audio system only offers stereo audio inputs, you can connect it to the MIXED L/R audio outputs of the DVD player using the supplied Red/White audio cables. Depending on the capability of your audio system, you may set up your DVD player with one of the following configurations:

• If the audio system does not have surround speakers, please set the down-mix mode to "Stereo" or "V. Surround".
• If the audio system has surround speakers and Dolby Pro Logic Surround support, please set the down-mix mode to "Lt/Rt".

(Please refer to page 20 for details.)

Setting Up the Player - Initial Setup

Use the Setup Menu System

In many places of this guide, the DVD player's Setup Menu needs to be adjusted to match your specific audio/video configuration. When asking you to make menu adjustments, we will use the following terminology to indicate the location of the desired function:

Setup Menu Name > Menu Item > Submenu Item (or Selection)

Setup Menu Name is the actual name of the uppermost setup menu level. With the OPPO DV-981HD there are exactly five (5) Setup Menu pages or sections, each represented by an icon on the top of the Setup Menu screen. They are: General Setup Page, Speaker Setup Page, Audio Setup Page, Video Setup Page, and Preference Page.

Menu Item is the parameter to be adjusted which appears below the Setup Menu Name. It is the list of items on the left of the current Setup screen.

Submenu Item (or the selection) is the actual numeric or descriptive element that represents the change being made to the selected parameter. It is the item located to the immediate right of its corresponding Menu Item.

This diagram should give a good description of the various elements and their context. In this screen we could, for example, instruct you to set the Rear Speaker parameter to Small in the Speaker Setup Page. To indicate where we were, you would see the following: Speaker Setup Page > Rear Speaker > Small.

To access the DVD player's Setup Menu simply press the SETUP button on the remote control. Since some setup menu options can become inaccessible when the player is playing a disc, it is recommended that you operate the setup menu when playback is fully stopped or when there is no disc in the player.

1. Press the SETUP button on the remote control, and the TV screen displays:

1. Press the left/right ARROW buttons to select the setup page. There are 5 pages: General Setup Page, Speaker Setup Page, Audio Setup Page, Video Setup Page, and Preference Page. Press the SELECT button to enter the selected setup page. The Preference page can only be accessed when playback is completely stopped, or when there is no disc in the player.
2. Press the up/down ARROW buttons to select the setup item to be changed, and press the SELECT button to change the setting.

For example, in the Video Setup Page, you may use the up/down ARROW buttons to select the "Sharpness" setup item, and press the SELECT button to change the "Sharpness" setting.

1. To select a value from the list of available settings, press the up/down ARROW buttons and then press the SELECT button to confirm.

For example, after using the up/down ARROW buttons to select "Off" for "Sharpness" and pressing the SELECT button, the screen will look like this:

1. To exit the SETUP menu, press the SETUP button on the remote control.

NOTE

It is possible that some setup items are grayed-out and inaccessible. This can be caused by disc still being played back or interlocking with mutually exclusive setup items. Please stop

playback or eject the disc before trying to change these setup items. If you still cannot access the setup item, please check for configuration conflicts and consistency. For example, if the audio "Down-mix" mode is set to "Stereo", the center and rear speaker size settings will be grayed-out. Setting the "Down-mix" mode to "5.1CH" will enable the center and rear speaker size settings.

Determine Your Display Type

Illustration of a flat-screen computer monitor (no text or symbols visible)

Widescreen, or 16:9 TV

Illustration of a flat-screen computer monitor (no text or symbols visible)

Standard Definition, or 4:3 TV

For best performance, your OPPO DVD player must be correctly configured for playback even before the first disc is inserted. This is done under General Setup Page > TV Display in the Setup Menu.

If you have a widescreen (16:9) display as pictured on the left, select one of these options:

• 16:9 Wide – 16:9 (widescreen) sources will be displayed in their native aspect ratio, and 4:3 sources will be stretched.
• 16:9 Wide/Auto – 16:9 (widescreen) as well as 4:3 sources will be displayed in their native aspect ratio. Please note that in this mode 4:3 sources will be displayed with black borders on both sides to maintain the correct 4:3 aspect ratio.

NOTE

If you are using a plasma or widescreen CRT display you will want to avoid leaving black bars on the screen for any length of time as you may encounter temporary burn-in where the display retains memory of the "used" part of screen and the unused (black bar) portions are clearly defined on the screen during subsequent viewing sessions. The "16:9 Wide" mode is the best choice for these types of displays.

If you have a 4:3 or standard definition screen as pictured on the right, select one of these options:

Select the Best Output Resolution

One of the major advantages of the OPPO DVD player is its ability to up-convert standard definition video contents stored on the DVD discs to high definition video signal and output it to the TV through HDMI. The sophisticated video processor inside the player ensures that the resulted video will have the best possible color, detail and motion. The DVD player offers several standard and high definition video output resolutions. To get the best visual result, it is important to select an output resolution that matches your TV or display device.

The rule of thumb is selecting an output resolution that matches the "native resolution" of your TV or display device as closely as possible. The "native resolution" is the resolution of the actual display component in the TV, such as the Plasma panel, LCD panel, or DLP™ chip. The TV may accept input signals with lower or higher resolutions than its native resolution. In such cases the electronics in the TV will up-scale or down-scale the video to fit its display component. Unfortunately many TVs on the market only do an average job scaling the video. On the other hand, if you set the OPPO DVD player to output a resolution that matches or is very close to the native resolution of the TV, you are more likely to get a great picture. For the latest generation of 1080p, "Full HD" or "True HD" displays, the best output resolution will naturally be 1080p. For most flat panels and DLP™, LCD or LCoS (SXRD™, D-ILA™) rear projection televisions this will be 720p. For CRT rear projection televisions this will likely be 1080i. For non HD displays (very rare if they have HDMI or DVI) this will be 480p. You may want to try all available output resolutions and select the one that produces the best picture quality on your TV.

You may use the HDMI button on the remote control to select the output resolution:

1. Make sure the HDMI cable or the HDMI-DVI adapter cable is properly connected.
2. Turn on the TV. Adjust the TV to use the proper input (HDMI or DVI).
3. Turn on the DVD player with no disc in its tray, or if the DVD player is already on, make sure that playback is completely stopped.
4. Press the HDMI button to show the current output resolution. Each subsequent press of the HDMI button switches the output resolution in the following sequence:

NTSC output:

$$ 4 8 0 \mathrm{p} \rightarrow 7 2 0 \mathrm{p} 6 0 \mathrm{Hz} \rightarrow 1 0 8 0 \mathrm{i} 6 0 \mathrm{Hz} \rightarrow 1 0 8 0 \mathrm{p} 6 0 \mathrm{Hz} \rightarrow \text {Back to } 4 8 0 \mathrm{p} \text {again} $$

PAL output:

$$ 5 7 6 p \rightarrow 7 2 0 p 5 0 H z \rightarrow 1 0 8 0 i 5 0 H z \rightarrow 1 0 8 0 p 5 0 H z \rightarrow B a c k t o 5 7 6 p a g a i n $$

1. The selected output resolution will be briefly displayed on the upper left corner of the TV screen as well as on the DVD player's front panel display.

NOTE

• Some TV sets do not support one or more HDMI output resolutions (particularly 1080p). In this case repeatedly press the HDMI button until a supported resolution is selected. Give your display a second or two to "grab on" to the new signal and attempt to display a picture.
• In case you are not able to get a picture using the HDMI output, please connect the DVD player to the TV using either the composite video or S-Video output, and then use the setup menu to adjust the DVD player settings.

Set up Audio Options

Depending on your specific audio/video connection method, the audio options of the DVD player may need to be adjusted to match your configuration. Please refer to the video and audio connection methods described previously in this guide and the following audio setup guidelines.

Audio Connection Directly to TV

If your DVD player is connected directly to the TV through HDMI (as described in "Method 1" on page 8) or through DVI and analog L/R audio cables (as described in "Method 2" on page 9), it is recommended that you keep the factory default settings. The factory default settings set Speaker Setup Page > Down-mix to "Stereo". In this mode the DVD player will mix the surround and center channels of multi-channel audio contents with the left and right front channels. Since most TVs only come with stereo speakers, this setup will ensure you hear all conversation and background audio from the DVD.

Multi-Channel Digital Audio to Receiver through HDMI

If your DVD player is connected to an A/V receiver or processor with HDMI inputs for high resolution multi-channel digital audio, you are in luck! You are now equipped to send all current audio formats to your receiver in pure digital form. The connection method will typically be as described in "Method 3" on page 10 of this guide.

To get the best possible audio via HDMI, you may need to set the following options on the DVD player's setup menu, depending on your HDMI-capable receiver configuration:

- If your receiver supports HDMI 1.1 Multi-Channel PCM audio, most likely it also support DTS and/or Dolby Digital decoding and has surround speakers. Please set these DVD player options:

• Speaker Setup Page > Down-mix to "5.1 CH"
• Speaker Setup Page > Front Speaker to "Large"
• Speaker Setup Page > Center Speaker to "Large"
• Speaker Setup Page > Rear Speaker to "Large"
• Speaker Setup Page > Subwoofer to "On"

○ Audio Setup Page > Digital Output to "Raw"
○ Audio Setup Page > HDMI Audio to "Auto"

In this configuration you can enjoy all audio formats using the HDMI connection.

NOTE

HDMI is a wonderful thing. A single cable can transport both audio AND video from your DVD player to your display. Be aware, however, that HDMI is an evolving standard, and there could be compatibility issues. The OPPO DV-981HD supports HDMI 1.1 audio. A receiver that supports HDMI 1.1 is required in order to play multi-channel audio for all formats, including DVD-Video/Audio and SACD (SACD DSD audio converted to multi-channel PCM). If the receiver supports HDMI 1.0 only, DVD-Audio and SACD will NOT be able to be sent via HDMI. To utilize DVD-Audio or SACD, please see next section for multi-channel analogue audio connection.

Multi-Channel Analog Audio to Receiver

If your DVD player is connected to an A/V receiver through the 5.1ch analog audio jacks using 6 RCA cables (as described in "Method 4" on page 11), you can play all supported audio formats and listen to it with your A/V receiver and surround systems. The following setup options are recommended:

• Set the Speaker Setup Page > Down-mix to "5.1CH".
• Set the speaker size and subwoofer properly according to your actual audio hardware.
• Enable or select the multi-channel analog inputs on your receiver

Using the multi-channel analog audio output is necessary for playing DVD-Audio and SACD if your receiver does not support HDMI multi-channel audio. This is absolutely worth it if you haven't yet upgraded to a receiver with HDMI audio. Truly discrete audio channels are a wondrous thing, so enjoy them if you can.

Coaxial or Optical Digital Audio to Receiver

If your audio connection is as described in "Method 5" on page 12 of this guide, and the A/V receiver support Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, the following setup options are recommended:

- Set the Audio Setup Page > Digital Output to "Raw". This will ensure the original Dolby Digital and DTS audio stream will be sent to the receiver for decoding. Stereo audio content will also be sent in digital format.

Due to bandwidth limitation of the technology and copyright restrictions, unfortunately it is impossible to send high-resolution multi-channel digital audio from a source like SACD or DVD-Audio to the receiver using this connection method. To enjoy SACD or DVD-Audio in their full resolution, please use the HDMI connection if you have a receiver that handles HDMI audio and use multi-channel outputs if you do not.

Stereo Analog Audio to Receiver

If you primarily listen to stereo contents or your receiver only offers stereo audio connections, please use the analog RCA-style cables to connect the MIXED L/R output of the DVD player to your receiver, as described in "Method 6" on page 13 of this guide. Depending on whether the receiver has surround speakers and supports Dolby Pro Logic II decoding, you may use one of the following audio configurations:

- No Surround Speakers: If the audio system does not have surround speakers, please set the Speaker Setup Page > Down-mix to "Stereo" or "V. Surround".

- Surround Speakers and Dolby Pro Logic II Support: If the audio system has surround speakers and Dolby Pro Logic II Surround support, please set the Speaker Setup Page > Down-mix to "Lt/Rt".

3. Stereo - This mode down-mixes decoded multi-channel (5.1ch) audio to 2-channel stereo output. For original stereo content the output will still be stereo. For original multi-channel content the surround and center channels will be mixed with the left and right front channels. Recommended for use with TV sets or stereo receiver/amplifiers.
4. V. Surround - Virtual Surround. This mode creates a virtual surround effect from stereo or multi-channel audio contents.

5. 5.1CH – This mode enables 5.1ch decoded audio output. The number of actual output channels depends on the disc.

6. Front Speaker: To set the sound filtering control for the front speakers. The options are:

7. Large – Choose if the front speakers are large. Bass frequencies are passed to the front speakers.

8. Small – Choose if the front speakers are small. Bass frequencies are not passed to the front speakers to reduce possible distortion.

9. Center Speaker: To set the sound filtering control for the center speaker. The options are:

10. Large – Choose if the center speaker is large. Bass frequencies are passed to the center speaker.

11. Small – Choose if the center speaker is small. Bass frequencies are not passed to the center speaker to reduce possible distortion.

12. Off – Choose if there is no center speaker.

13. Rear Speaker: To set the sound filtering control for the rear speakers. The options are:

14. Large – Choose if the rear surround speakers are large. Bass frequencies are passed to the rear speakers.

15. Small – Choose if the rear surround speakers are small. Bass frequencies are not passed to the rear speakers to reduce possible distortion.

16. Off – Choose if there are no rear speakers.

17. Subwoofer: To enable/disable the subwoofer output. The options are:

18. On – Subwoofer output is enabled.

19. Off – Subwoofer output is disabled.

20. Channel Delay: To set the delay time for the center, rear speakers and the subwoofer. The delay is to compensate for the audio propagation time difference caused by the distance difference of the speakers to the listener.

• Press the up/down ARROW buttons to select the speaker to set the distance difference.
• Press the left/right ARROW buttons to set the distance difference.
• Press the SELECT button to confirm the settings and return to the Speaker Setup Page.

• The channel delay is the difference between the distance from the listener to the front speakers and the distance from the listener to the speaker to be configured.
• Measure the distance (in inches) from the primary listening position to the Front Left Speaker. This is your baseline measurement – the primary distance that will determine the adjustments for your system. Your Front Right and Left speakers should measure the same distance. If they do not, please adjust them if possible.
• Measure the distance (in inches) from other speakers to the listening position. If it is LESS than the distance to the Front Left speaker, enter the difference (as close as possible) in inches using the left/right ARROW buttons as channel delay. If it is GREATER than the distance to the Front Left speaker, then leave the channel delay at 0.
• Repeat for each speaker in the system (Center, Left Surround, Right Surround, and Subwoofer) as available.

For example, if the distance between the listener and the front main speakers is 60 inches (① in the above picture), and the distance between the listener and the center speaker is 56 inches (②), the channel delay for the center speaker is 4 inches (①-②=③). Similarly, if the left surround speaker is 48 inches (④) away from the listener, the channel delay for the left surround speaker should be 12 inches (①-④=⑤).

Distance between the surround speakers and the listener must be shorter than or equal to that between the front speakers and the listener.

In case the channel delay settings cannot match your speaker configuration, please set all distance difference to 0 inch and use your receiver/amplifier to set the channel delay.

Example Channel Delay Adjustment:

Supported Configuration Unsupported Configuration

Settings:

Center Speaker – 4 Inches

Subwoofer - 4 Inches

Left Surround - 12 Inches

Right Surround – 12 Inches

Settings:

Center Speaker - 0 Inch

Subwoofer - 0 Inch

Left Surround - 0 Inch

Right Surround - 0 Inch

Audio Setup Page

1. Digital Output: To set the bit stream type of the digital audio output for use with Dolby Digital and DTS-compatible receivers. The options are:

2. Raw – Passes the encoded multi-channel digital audio unaltered. Choose this setting if your receiver/amplifier is capable of decoding Dolby Digital and/or DTS.

3. PCM – Forces down-mixed 2-channel digital audio output. Choose this setting if your receiver/amplifier only supports stereo digital (PCM) audio.

4. LPCM Rate: To set the maximum Linear PCM output frequency. The options are:

• 48K – Supported by most equipment.
- 96K – Allows a higher sampling rate and frequency response. It can result better audio quality. Ensure that the receiver/amplifier can support it.
- 192K – Allows the highest sampling rate and frequency response. It can result in the best audio quality. Ensure that the receiver/amplifier can support it.

Note: The LPCM rate is selectable only when HDMI Audio is turned off.

1. Audio Tone (+/-16): This function raises or lowers the tone (key/pitch) of the audio track. This is useful for playing Karaoke discs and should not be used for regular music listening or movies.

2. Press the SELECT button to show the tone control window.

3. Press the left/right ARROW buttons to lower or raise the tone/pitch.

4. Press the SELECT button to confirm the setting.

5. Pro Logic II: Taking a step further than most DVD players, the OPPO DVD player allows you to configure Dolby Pro Logic II to expand 2-channel source audio into full 5-channel surround sound. Note: Pro Logic II functionality is effective only when Speaker Setup Page > Down-mix is set to "5.1ch" and Digital Output is set to "Raw".

6. Press the SELECT button to enter the "Pro Logic II Config" page.

7. Press the left ARROW button to exit the "Pro Logic II Config" page.

A. Pro Logic II: To turn on or off the Pro Logic II processing. The options are:

• On – Pro Logic II processing is always on
• Off – No Pro Logic II processing
• Auto – Pro Logic II processing is on only when Dolby Pro Logic II encoded content is detected.

B. Mode: To set the processing mode of Pro Logic II. The options are:

• Music – The surround experience is tailored for multi-channel music playback
- Movie – Emphasis is given to the center channel as two-channel audio is decoded and played back into your 5.1 system
- Pro Logic – This activates decoding and processing of the original Dolby Pro Logic processing with mono-surround channel. We recommend using the Dolby Pro Logic Movie mode in lieu of this 4-channel surround format.
- Auto – Automatically selects processing mode based on the input format

C. Panorama (Music mode only): Turns on/off panorama mode. When turned on, the front stereo audio is partially fed into the surround channels for an enveloping effect.

D. Dimension (Music mode only): Allows gradual adjustment of the sound field either towards the front or towards the rear. This is useful in setting a more even balance from all speakers with some rooms.

E. Center Width (Music mode only): To control the width of the center channel sound effect by blending the center speaker to the left and right speakers. As the level number increases, the center channel sound moves toward the left and right speakers.

1. Dolby Digital Setup: To configure the Dolby Digital decoder.

2. Press the SELECT button to enter the Dolby Digital Setup page.

3. Press the left ARROW button to exit the Dolby Digital Setup page.

A. Dual Mono: To choose the output for Dolby Digital discs encoded with two independent audio channels, such as bilingual programs. The options are:

• Stereo – Stereo output
  • L-Mono – Left channel output to both Left and Right speakers.
• R-Mono – Right channel output to both Left and Right speakers.
• Mix Mono – Left and Right channels mixed to both Left and Right speakers.

B. Dynamic: To set the Dynamic Range Compression (DRC). DRC can smooth out the sonic peaks and valleys common with wide-range digital audio. Increasing DRC may make low level audio more audible during low-level listening. Decreasing or turning off DRC restores the sonic energy present in the original recording.

1. Channel Trim: To set the volume of each individual channel.

• Press the left/right ARROW buttons to select the channel to be adjusted.
• Press the up/down ARROW buttons to raise or lower the volume of the selected channel in 0.5dB increments.
• Press the SELECT button to confirm the settings and return to the Audio Setup Page.

Channel trim is generally not required since most A/V receivers have the capability to adjust channel trim and compensate for speaker sensitivity differences. However if your receiver does not have such functions, you may adjust channel trim on the DVD player. For most accurate results, it is recommended that you use test tones from a calibration disc, such as AVIA Guide to Home Theater, and a SPL (Sound Pressure Level) meter.

1. Audio Delay: To add delay to analog or PCM digital audio output. If you experience audio/video synchronization problem, you may use this option to add a slight delay to the audio so it is in-sync with video.

2. Press the left/right ARROW buttons to adjust delay. The audio delay can be adjusted in 10ms steps.

3. Audio delay does not apply to raw bit stream digital audio output.

4. HDMI Audio: To select digital audio output from the HDMI port. The options are:

5. LPCM – Digital audio output via HDMI will be multi-channel Linear PCM format. The Down-mix setting in the "Speaker Setup Page" will affect whether and how multi-channel audio content will be down-mixed to stereo. When this option is selected, compressed audio bit streams will decoded by the DVD player. This setting is recommended when connecting the HDMI output directly to a TV.

6. Auto – Digital audio output via HDMI will be the same as the digital coaxial/optical audio output for CD, Dolby Digital and DTS audio signals. For high resolution stereo or multi-channel audio contents such as DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD, the DVD player will send multi-channel PCM audio signals with the highest available sample frequency and bit numbers. Depending on the original audio content, the format could be 44.1kHz - 192kHz, 2 - 6 channels. This option is recommended when connecting the HDMI output to an A/V receiver or processor with HDMI 1.1 or above audio capabilities.
7. Off – No digital audio output via HDMI.

NOTE

If you use HDMI to connect audio to an HDMI A/V receiver or audio processor, it is recommended that you choose 720p or higher HDMI output resolution when playing high resolution audio content (DVD-Audio and SACD). According to the HDMI specification, the bandwidth available for audio is proportional to the total bandwidth used by video. At 480p/576p resolution, the HDMI specification can only support 2 channels of audio with high sample rate (up to 192kHz), or 8 channels of audio with standard sample rate (up to 48kHz). Depending on the capability of your A/V receiver or audio processor, if you play high resolution audio content at 480p/576p resolution, you may get reduced audio resolution, incomplete audio channels, or even no audio/video output at all. Choosing a high HDMI output resolution such as 720p or 1080i allows enough bandwidth for all high sample rate audio channels.

Video Setup Page

1. Sharpness: To set the sharpness of video output. Sharpness level can be set with the following options:

2. High – High edge enhancement. Video details are the sharpest but it may cause white line etching around objects.

3. Medium – Medium edge enhancement. Video details are sharper but it may cause slight white line etching around objects.
4. Low – Low edge enhancement. This setting produces slightly sharpened video details.
5. Off (recommended) – Turn off edge enhancement completely.

NOTE

Sharpness (edge enhancement) is an artificial video processing function that can produce a sharper looking picture but at the same time may degrade the details of the picture or cause unwanted artifacts. We recommend leaving it off.

1. Brightness: To adjust the brightness (black level) of the video output.

2. Press the SELECT button to show the Brightness scale, and then use the left/right ARROW buttons to adjust.

3. Press the SELECT button to confirm the new setting.

4. Contrast: To adjust the contrast (white level) of the video output.

NOTE

The ability to set brightness and contrast is no small thing. If you do not have the correct black and white levels then your images can appear washed out or you won't be able to see into the shadows when watching darker scenes in movies. Televisions have brightness (black level) and contrast (white level) controls; however it may take a combination of tweaking both the DVD player and your television to get just the right result. We recommend using a calibration DVD like AVIA Guide to Home Theater or Digital Video Essentials and setting your display for the best possible picture. Once that is done, see if the DVD player settings can get even closer.

1. Saturation: To adjust the saturation (color intensity level) of the video output.
2. TrueLife: To turn on/off the TrueLife™ video processing of the built-in Genesis/Faroudja video processor. TrueLife is a Faroudja proprietary two dimensional, non-linear, luma & chroma video enhancer that brings out details in the picture to produce a more life-like image. Since many

advanced video processing functions rely on the TrueLife feature, we recommend leaving this option on.

1. CCS: To turn on/off the Cross Color Suppression feature of the built-in Genesis/Faroudja video processor. CCS helps separate contrasting colors and may prevent the colors from bleeding into one another. The setting is useful in some circumstances, especially when displaying static pictures recorded as video. This setting is effective only when TrueLife is turned on. Since CCS mainly affects static pictures instead of motion contents, we recommend turning it off.

2. Noise Reduction: To set the video noise reduction level of the built-in Genesis/Faroudja video processor. Turning on noise reduction can reduce the snow-like or block-like video noise generated by broadcasting or video encoding. However the side effect of noise reduction is some loss of fine details and some "ghosting" effect – fast moving objects may show a visible trace. The recommended setting is "Off". Turn on noise reduction only when the original content has a lot of video noise. This setting is effective only when TrueLife is turned on. The available settings are:

3. High – High noise reduction. Video noise is significantly reduced. Moving objects may leave a visible trail ("ghosting").

4. Medium – Medium noise reduction. Video noise is strongly reduced. Moving objects may leave a visible trail.
5. Low – Low noise reduction. Video noise is slightly reduced. Moving objects may leave a slightly visible trail.

6. Off – Turn off noise reduction completely.

7. Video Mode: To select the mode of conversion for video output. The options are:

8. Video 1 – Video 1 mode is recommended for viewing NTSC content with video or 3:2 cadence. If you primarily watch NTSC content, this is the preferred mode.

9. Video 2 – Video 2 mode is recommended for viewing NTSC/PAL contents with video, 3:2 and 2:2 cadences. If you watch both NTSC and PAL movies this is the preferred mode. Please note that in Video 2 mode, NTSC/PAL conversion is not performed for analog video outputs (composite and S-Video).

10. RGB Range: To select the HDMI RGB output range. This setting only affects output in RGB color space, primarily used when the DVD player is connected to a DVI input. The options are:

11. Normal – Normal RGB range suitable for video display.

12. Enhanced – Expanded RGB range suitable for personal computer (PC) display. Some TVs are designed to be used as a PC monitor, and expect signal in expanded RGB range when the DVI input is selected. For these TVs if the video signal uses the normal RGB range, the black-white contrast will be reduced. You can set the DVD player to use the Enhanced RGB Range and restore proper contrast.

Preference Page

The Preference Page can only be accessed when playback is completely stopped, or when there is no disc in the DVD player.

1. TV Type: To set the output video system (PAL/NTSC) to match the type of TV. The options are:

2. Auto – No system conversion is performed. The output video system is the same as that encoded on the disc. Requires TV that supports multi-systems.

3. PAL – When playing PAL-encoded discs, no system conversion is performed. NTSC-encoded contents are converted to PAL output.

4. NTSC (default) – When playing NTSC-encoded discs, no system conversion is performed. PAL-encoded contents are converted to NTSC output.

5. PBC – Play Back Control: To enable/disable play back control by disc contents. The options are:

6. On – If the disc contains Play Back Control, follow the disc instructions.

7. Off – Play back the contents by sequence.

8. Audio: To set the preferred audio language for DVD. If an audio track of the selected language is available on the disc, the audio track will be played back.

9. Subtitle: To set the preferred subtitle language for DVD. If a subtitle of the selected language is available, it will be displayed. When "Auto" is selected, the subtitle display is decided by the disc.
10. Disc Menu: To set the preferred language for displaying DVD disc menus. If a disc menu of the selected language is available, the menu will be shown instead of the default disc menu.

NOTE

If your preferred language is not listed in the Audio, Subtitle or Disc Menu options, select "Other" and enter the Language Code found on page 49 of this manual.

1. Parental Control: To set parental control ratings in order to prevent minors from watching inappropriate contents. This function requires that the disc being properly rated and encoded.

2. Press the SELECT button to bring up the rating selection menu.

3. Press the up/down ARROW buttons to select the rating to allow (G/PG/PG 13/PGR/R/NC17/ADULT). The selected rating and below will be allowed, and any rating above the selected will be blocked.

- Press the SELECT button to confirm the selection. You will be asked for the parental control password. Enter the password (default password: 7890) and press the SELECT button.

1. Password: To set parental control password. To change the password, enter the old password (default: 7890) and then enter a 4-digit number as the new password. Enter the new password again to confirm, and then press the SELECT button.
