S/PDIF Output Modes

The following output modes are available during the playback of Blu-

ray Disc titles when S/PDIF is selected as the speaker environment. The

mode that you should select depends on the external decoder (AV

Receiver) connected to your computer.

• Only primary audio: this mode only outputs the audio from the

primary video (e.g. no sound will be available for Picture-in-

Picture, secondary video streams or director commentaries). The

compressed audio format is passed-through to the external

decoder unit (AV Receiver).

Note: If the primary audio format is another format besides Dolby AC3, DD+,

DTS or DTS-HD, CyberLink PowerDVD will decode it and output both audio

signals simultaneously.

• AC3 mixing: this mode outputs both primary video sound and

secondary video sound simultaneously by mixing both audio

and encodes into a Dolby AC3 bitstream. Select this option if

your external decoder unit (AV Receiver) supports Dolby AC3.

• DTS mixing: this mode outputs both primary video sound and

secondary video sound simultaneously by mixing both audio

and encodes into a DTS bitstream. Select this option if your

external decoder unit (AV Receiver) supports DTS.

HDMI Output Modes

The following output modes are available when an external decoder

(AV Receiver) is connected with an HDMI connector. The mode that you

should select depends on the external decoder (AV Receiver)

connected to your computer.

converted to 16:9 (and vice versa).

Full Screen Display Preference

Always maintain video aspect ratio: select this option to retain the

original aspect ratio whenever you resize the video display. This option

is mutually exclusive with the TrueTheater Stretch option below.

Linear stretch: select this option to stretch all parts of the video

equally, resulting in noticeable distortion when the aspect ratio of the

video display does not match the aspect ratio of the monitor.

TrueTheater Stretch (CyberLink Pano Vision) is a non-linear video

stretching technology that produces minimal distortion in the center of

the picture. TrueTheater Stretch feature is only available in full screen

Chapter 4: Configuration

mode and is for DVD titles with a widescreen aspect ratio (i.e. optimal

with 16:9 on a 4:3 monitor). It employs CyberLink’s unique Pano Vision

video technology to stretch the movie to fit the monitor size. Select

either:

Note: This feature is disabled during the playback of Blu-ray Disc titles when

DxVA is in use.

•The Smart Stretch option (which is recommended for most

videos) crops and stretches the sides of the picture slightly, while

keeping the center as is.

•The Stretch to Screen option keeps the center of the picture as

is, while stretching the sides slightly.

•The 2.35:1 in 16:9 option is for disc titles that have an aspect

ratio of 2.35:1. This setting is specifically designed to maximize

the display space of 16:9 display devices when viewing discs with

this aspect ratio.

•The Custom Stretch option lets you customize the aspect ratio

of your outputted video. Use the Strength slider to customize

the curve of the stretched video. The Crop size slider lets you set

the crop margins on either side of the video (top and bottom of

4:3 content on a 16:9 display, left and right of 16:9 content on a

4:3 display). Use the Offset slider to determine the video’s

position. Experiment with the sliders until you find a custom

stretch that fits your specific display device.

Display Device

The Display Device section lets you select your preferred display device

and set the aspect ratio for a secondary display device being used with

CyberLink PowerDVD.

Note: This feature is currently not available under Windows Vista.

Preferred Display Device

• Select which of your display devices, if you have more than one,

you would like use as your default for viewing movies.

Secondary display device: This option is only available in clone

mode. If you selected Secondary device as your preferred

CyberLink PowerDVD

device, select its aspect ratio to specify the screen’s resolution. If

the device is neither 4:3 or 16:9, select Other and then select

another aspect ratio from the drop-down menu.

Note: When in clone mode, the resolution of both monitors will be the same.

However, if the selected preferred monitor is 4:3 and the other monitor is

16:9, the video on the 16:9 monitor will be distorted. Therefore, the preferred

device should be set to secondary and the aspect ratio set to 16:9. The video

on the 4:3 monitor will be distorted, but the video on 16:9 monitor will be

correct.
