Screen Saver:

Turn this setting on to prevent permanent “burn-in”

damage to a plasma or CRT video display when the same still image 
is left on screen for more than a minute or two. This can happen when 
a video disc is paused, a JPEG file is left on screen or when a menu 
is left on screen.

When you have finished, use the

menus from view.

Step Five – Audio Setup

The Audio Setup menu is used to set the parameters for digital audio
playback.

Digital Output:

This setting depends on the capabilities of your audio/

video receiver, the type of digital audio connection and the surround
sound mode encoded on the disc. In addition, the setting may need to
be changed to hear secondary tracks on the disc, such as a director’s
commentary. For simplicity, if the BDP 1 is connected to a receiver via
the HDMI Output, leave this setting at its default of “PCM 7.1”, and the
BDP 1 will automatically convert source programs into the format the
receiver is capable of processing. You may adjust it at any time to
improve audio performance. See Table A6 in the appendix for more
information.

• 

PCM 7.1:

When an HDMI connection to a receiver is used, select this

setting to hear both the main soundtrack and any secondary tracks on
the disc. All bitstream sources, including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD
Master Audio, will be decoded and output in the PCM format.

• 

Bitstream Native:

This setting delivers superior audio performance

of the main soundtrack, but must be temporarily changed to hear 
2-channel secondary tracks.

n

When an HDMI connection to a receiver is used, and the receiver

supports the Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio surround
modes, select this setting to hear the main soundtrack only with
superior audio performance. To hear secondary soundtracks, change
this setting temporarily to “PCM 7.1”.

n

When the Coaxial or Optical Digital Audio Output is connected to a

receiver, select this setting to hear the main soundtrack only, when
encoded in Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital Plus modes. To hear
secondary soundtracks, change this setting temporarily to “PCM 7.1”.

• 

DTS Transcoded:

This setting delivers both the main soundtrack and

any secondary 2-channel soundtracks. Dolby tracks are output in the
DTS 5.1 format.

• 

PCM Stereo:

Use this setting when the BDP 1 is connected directly

to a TV, when only the Analog Audio Outputs are used, or when only
two loudspeakers are connected to the receiver.

PCM Downsampling:

Configures the Coaxial and Optical Digital Audio

Outputs to match the bitrate capability of the surround receiver. If the
BDP 1 is connected directly to a TV, or if it is connected by the HDMI 
or Analog Audio Outputs, leave this setting at the default “48kHz”, as it

has no effect. If the BDP 1 is connected via the Coaxial or Optical Digital
Audio Output to a surround receiver that is capable of processing high-
bitrate audio, change this setting to “96kHz”. If the receiver cannot
process high-bitrate audio, leave this setting at “48kHz” to avoid
undesirable results.

Dynamic Range Ctrl:

Reduces the loudness of louder passages to

avoid disturbing others, while maintaining the intelligibility of dialogue.
This setting has no effect unless either the Analog Audio Outputs are 
in use, or the Digital Output has been set to either “DTS Transcoded”
or “PCM”.

• 

Off:

Audio plays at normal levels.

• Auto:

Dynamic range control is on for all soundtracks except 

Dolby TrueHD, where it is on only if the program is encoded with
dynamic range control, also known as “Night Mode”.

• On:

Dynamic range control is on for all soundtracks.

When you have finished, use the

Buttons to navigate to

another setup menu, or press the Setup or Clear Button to clear the
menus from view.

Step Six – System Setup

Use the System Setup menu to program Parental Control and other
settings.

Auto Play:

When Auto Play is on and a disc is loaded in the BDP 1,

the disc will automatically begin playing when the BDP 1 is turned on.
Turn this setting off to require disc playback to be started manually from
the Media Launcher menu.

Auto Standby:

When this setting is on, the BDP 1 will automatically

power off after 25 minutes of inactivity to conserve energy. This setting
may be turned off, and the BDP 1 will remain on indefinitely.

Change Password:

The BDP 1 is programmed at the factory with a

default password of “0000”. It is recommended that you program a 
new password for greater privacy. When you select this setting, enter 
the default password (“0000”), then enter the new password twice,
once for “New Password” and once for “Confirm Password”. The BDP 1
will display an asterisk for each keypress.

Parental Control:

Turns the Parental Control function on or off to block

access to encoded discs or to allow free viewing. This setting is only
effective for ratings-encoded discs. You will always be prompted to enter
the password before changing this setting.

Parental Control Level:

With Parental Control turned on, set the lowest

rating level that will require a password to view the program. The ratings
are similar to the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) film
ratings, but add three levels: “Kid Safe”, which is below the MPAA’s “G”
rating; “PG-R”, which is intermediate between the MPAA’s “PG” and “R”
ratings; and “Adult”, which covers materials deemed stronger than the
“NC-17” rating. Visit the MPAA Web site at www.mpaa.org for more
information on film ratings.
