Buttons to select the next channel. Repeat the procedure to enter the
output level offset, if needed, that brings all of the channels to the same
output volume. You may need to repeat this procedure more than once
to accurately set the levels.
The DVD 48 includes a built-in test tone to assist you with setting
Speaker Levels. Navigate to the Test tone line and use the
‹
/
›
Buttons to select the Manual or Auto test tone.
•
Manual:
Navigate to the desired speaker’s line within the submenu,
press the Enter Button and the test tone will play from that speaker.
The test tone will not play from another speaker until you move the
cursor to its line and press the Enter Button. You may adjust the
speaker’s level setting while the test tone is playing.
•
Auto:
When this option is selected, the Test Tone dialog box will
appear and ask you to confirm your selection. Press the
‹
Button to
highlight “Yes”, and press the Enter Button to proceed. The test tone
will automatically be played by each speaker in order, starting with the
front left speaker. It is not possible to make any adjustments to the
level settings while the test tone is playing in Auto mode.
•
Off:
Navigate back to the Test tone line and use the
‹
/
›
Buttons
to select Off to stop the test tone.
Initialize:
Set Initialize to On to reset all of the Speaker Level settings to
their factory defaults. When prompted by the Initialize dialog box, press
the
‹
Button to highlight “Yes”, and press the Enter Button to proceed.
When you have finished adjusting the speaker output levels, press the
Return Button to return to the SPEAKER SETUP menu (Figure 24). The
two remaining items are used to configure the speaker settings that will
be used when an SACD disc is playing. These settings have no effect
for other playback modes.
•
SACD Config:
This setting allows you to select from one of three
preset speaker-size configurations, as indicated in Table 2. Select the
configuration that most closely matches your system. If you have
fewer than six speakers, use the 2-Channel Analog Audio Outputs
for SACD discs, and change the Analog Output setting in the Audio
Setup menu to Stereo.
•
CUT-OFF Frequency:
This setting selects the frequency below which
all signals are sent to the subwoofer. Consult the speaker frequency
response specifications that you obtained at the beginning of the
Speaker Setup process, and locate the speaker with the lowest
low-frequency limit. Set the CUT-OFF Frequency to the setting closest
to or just above that low-frequency limit. The available settings are
60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz and 120Hz.
When you have finished configuring your speakers, press the Return
Button to return to the SYSTEM SETUP menu (Figure 20).
Step Four – Video Setup
In this step you may make a few adjustments to ensure that the video
signal is output in a way that is compatible with your video display.
Press the Setup Button and use the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons to highlight the
Video tab. See Figure 20. Press the Enter Button to view the VIDEO
SETUP menu (Figure 28).

TV Display:
This setting selects the aspect ratio of video programming.
Your choice should be made according to the shape of your video
display and your personal preferences. Three choices are available:
•
16:9:
If you have a widescreen (16:9) display, or a display that has
a widescreen mode, choose this setting. The DVD 48 will adjust the
output for widescreen movies so that they fill the entire screen in the
proper aspect ratio. However, a disc recorded in the 4:3 aspect ratio
will appear as a boxed image in the center, with black or gray bars on
the left and right side of the screen. If the widescreen option is chosen
and a widescreen movie is played on a conventional 4:3 aspect ratio
set, the image will be distorted due to vertical compression.
•
4:3 Letterbox:
If you have a standard, 4:3 aspect ratio video display,
choose this setting to see the entire frame of the movie as it is
recorded on the disc without any image cutoff at the left and right
sides. While this allows widescreen movies to be shown in their entirety,
they will occupy a smaller portion of the screen and black “letterbox”
bars may appear at the top and bottom of the screen.
•
4:3 Pan Scan:
This setting is useful only with a few specially encoded
DVDs; with all others, the letterbox format fits best when a standard
4:3 aspect ratio video display is in use. For these special DVDs
widescreen movies will fill the entire screen. However, you won’t see
parts of the picture (particularly the right and left edges). Most discs
produced in a widescreen format can’t be cropped in this fashion,
which means the black bars will appear at the top and bottom of
the screen (letterbox format). Some widescreen DVDs, particularly
anamorphic types, may be shown with original width but spread
vertically. With these discs, the letterbox format must be selected.
TV Type:
This setting allows you to specify whether your video display
uses the NTSC (used in North America) or PAL (used in Europe and
other parts of the world) video format. The DVD 48 is capable of recog-
nizing and playing DVDs in the PAL format, but only if they are encoded
for Region 1 or Region 0 (open region, playable worldwide). The DVD 48
automatically converts the video to the NTSC format for output to your
video display. If you have inadvertently changed this setting to PAL and
your picture is too distorted for you to view the on-screen menus, you
may reset the setting to the default NTSC by following these steps:
