preference Th e DVD standard supports multiple soundtracks and languages, all on the
same disc. Th is versatility can make playing a DVD more complicated than you
might like. By establishing your preferences, the CDP-502 will be able to select
the right soundtrack and language without you having to search through menus.
audio format Many DVDs have multiple soundtracks, in diff erent formats. You can state your
preference (assuming it is available) by pressing the
audio format button .
• automatic — selects the “best” available soundtrack automatically.
Preference is given to soundtracks with a greater number of discrete
channels (e.g., 5.1 rather than 2.0).
•
PCM
— if you prefer uncompressed digital audio, even if it means fewer
channels, select the PCM option.
• Dolby 5.1 — states a preference for 5.1 channel Dolby Digital
soundtracks if they are available.
• Dolby stereo — indicates a preference for soundtracks intended to be
reproduced via Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby Pro Logic II decoding matrix.
•
DTS
— when selected, the CDP-502 will automatically play the DTS
(Digital Th eater Systems) soundtrack, if one is available.
audio language
You can also set a preference for the spoken language used in the soundtrack
being played.
Automatic defers to the default soundtrack on the disc itself. If
you prefer, you can insist that the CDP-502 play an
English, French, German,
Spanish , or Italian soundtrack (assuming one is available).
subtitle language
Similarly, you can establish a preference for the language used in the subtitles.
Your choices are
English, French, German, Spanish , or Italian .
CD autoplay
When this button is highlighted, the player will automatically start playback
when a CD is inserted.
navigation
Historically, navigating within a CD and a DVD has worked diff erently.
Specifi cally, the “fast forward” and “rewind” functions on a CD required you
to
press and hold the button during the scanning process. By contrast, the same
action on a DVD required only a button click — in fact, additional button
clicks would accelerate the rate at which the scanning would occur.
If you want to have all discs operate as per the DVD way of doing things, select
latching as your navigation preference.
If you prefer the CD way of doing things, choose non-latching instead.
If you want the CDP-502 to behave like a CD player when playing a CD, and
like a DVD player when playing a DVD, choose
adaptive .
