HQ Video (High Quality Video)
This setting controls the type of video given out on the
Component and SCART video outputs. It is set at the factory
to be appropriate for the type of TV used in your country, so it
should not be necessay to change it. If it gets set incorrectly
then the picture shown on the TV will have strange colouring.
Component
The video output on both the Component video (3
phonos) and SCART is Y, Pb, Pr component video.
RGB SCART
The video output on both the Component video (3
phonos) and SCART is RGB. Note that if you are
using RGB output via phono connectors, you will
also need to use COMPOSITE as a sync signal.
NTSC black (Pedestal)
This setting controls the ‘pedestal’ signal or black level when
the NTSC video standard is used. Note that it does not affect
PAL video in any way.
0 IRE This removes the pedestal from NTSC video. This
setting should be used in Japan, and also if you
are using RGB video, whatever the country.
7.5 IRE This is the standard pedestal level that should be
used in all countries that use NTSC video, with the
exception of Japan.
Audio setup
This section allows you to congure the type of analogue and
digital audio outputs. In particular, the digital output type needs
to be set correctly if you are using an external audio decoder,
receiver or D-A converter.
Audio
This section allows you to congure the type of analogue and
digital audio outputs. In particular, the digital output type needs
to be set correctly if you are using an external audio decoder,
receiver or D-A converter.
Two different types of digital output are supported: “Bitstream”
and “Stereo PCM”.
Bitstream
The Bitstream setting supports the following
audio standards:
2 channel PCM (on CDs or DVDs)
Dolby Digital
MPEG multi channel
DTS multi channel
Use the Bitstream setting if you have an
external decoder that supports Dolby Digital.
Stereo
PCM
When the “Stereo PCM” digital output is
selected, all audio material played is down-
mixed to stereo and output as stereo PCM.
Use this setting if you have an external D-A
converter that supports only 2-channel PCM.
Since the digital and analogue outputs are closely related, the
analogue audio output reects the digital output type selected.
The options available are as follows:
Bitstream
+ 6 Ch.
The digital output is “Bitstream” (as described
above). The analogue audio will comprise up
to six channels of output, depending on the
source material, the speaker conguration
(see the “Speaker Setup” section) and the “Pro
Logic” setting (see below).
Bitstream
+ 2 Ch.
The digital output is “Bitstream” (as described
above). The analogue audio will comprise
a 2-channel stereo down-mix of the source
material.
PCM
+ 2 Ch.
The digital output is “Stereo PCM” (as
described above). The analogue audio will
comprise a 2-channel stereo down-mix of the
source material.
Pro Logic
This controls “Pro Logic” decoding. Pro Logic decoding creates
a four-channel surround output from sources that are encoded
in Dolby Surround format. It is relevant only when two-channel
source material is being played.
Off No Pro Logic processing is performed.
On Pro Logic processing is performed on all
appropriate two-channel material.
Auto Pro Logic processing is performed when the audio
track on the DVD is indicated as being Dolby
Surround encoded.
Note the following points:
If two-channel output is selected via the “Audio” item, no
Pro Logic decoding will ever be performed.
If the player is congured to have only two speakers
connected to it (described in the next section), then no
Pro Logic decoding will be performed.
MP3 les, together with DVD-audio discs and any 96kHz
(or above) material, are not suitable for Pro Logic
decoding and will never be processed.
Audio delay
This item is not applicable for the DV89, and should not be
changed.
Down-sample
This needs to be set correctly if you are using an external audio
decoder, receiver or D-A converter.
Max 96K Choose this option if your external audio decoder
is able to process digital audio with a sample rate
of up to 96kHz, or if you are not using the digital
audio outputs. This is the maximum sample rate
present on DVD-video discs.
Max 48K Choose this option if your external audio decoder
is unable to process digital audio with a sample
rate of up to 96kHz.
NOTE: This setting is relevant only to the output from
DVD-video discs.
