mode, which passes the digital audio to
the CVR700’s processor so that low-fre-
quency portions of the audio may be
steered to the appropriate speakers
depending on the capabilities of your
specific speakers. If you are using the
JBL Cinema Vision speaker system,
you may leave the DVD-Audio disc
audio mode at the default

BASS

MANAGEMENT

setting. If you are

using other speakers, you should select

DIRECT

, and make sure to configure

your speakers using the

SPEAKERS

submenu as described on page 48.

Figure 15

The available audio modes for DVD -
Video, audio CD, Video CD and com-
pressed audio discs are reflected in
Figure 16. Note, however, that the
options shown each encompass a suite of
surround modes. Although a more com-
plete explanation of the available sur-
round modes may be found on page 62,
the

DOLBY

surround mode submenu

serves as a good example (Figure 17).
Note that some modes may not be avail-
able, depending on how you set your
system configuration in the

SYSTEM

submenu above (Figure 7). For example,
the

DIGITAL EX, PL IIx

MOVIE 7.1

and

PL IIx

MUSIC 7.1

modes are only available

for 7.1-channel systems. In addition, the

DIGITAL 5.1

and

DIGITAL

modes are only available when source

materials that are encoded in the Dolby
Digital 5.1 or Dolby Digital EX format are
actually playing.

Although you are encouraged to experi-
ment with the various audio surround
modes as you become more familiar with
your system, at this time it is recommended
that you select Logic 7 Cinema (Movie)
for DVD-Video and VCD discs, and for
video sources such as cable television,
and Logic 7 Music for audio CDs, MP3s,
WMAs, the AM/FM tuner and other
audio-only sources to complete the setup
process. Select the 7.1 version if your
system is in 7.1-channel operation, or the
5.1 version if you are using 5.1-channel
operation.

Note that the audio mode setup for
DVD-Video discs is slightly different
than for the other disc types. With the

SOURCES

menu (Figure 10) on

screen, instead of scrolling to the

AUDIO MODE

line as for the other

disc types, continue scrolling until the

›

cursor is next to the

DVD-V

line

and select it. The

DVD VIDEO

sub-

menu (Figure 18) will appear. Although
audio mode selection is similar to the
other disc types, the sub mode (e.g.,
Music 7.1 for Logic 7) is displayed
separately on the

TYPE

line.

Figure 18

The

DVD VIDEO

submenu (Fig. 18)

also enables you to adjust the Night
Mode setting. The Night Mode setting
may be accessed directly from the

SOURCES

menu (Figure 12) for other

source inputs. The Night mode is a fea-
ture of Dolby Digital that preserves the
dynamic range and full intelligibility of a
movie soundtrack while reducing the
peak level. This prevents abruptly loud
transitions from disturbing others, with-
out reducing the sonic impact of a digital
source. The Night mode is only available
when specially encoded Dolby Digital

signals are played, which are only found
on DVD-Video (or DVD-Audio) discs. To
adjust the Night mode setting, make
certain that the

›

cursor is on the

NIGHT

line. Next, press the

‹

›

Navigation Controls

to choose

between the following settings, as they
appear in the

Lower Display Line

OFF

: When OFF is highlighted, the

Night mode will not function.

MEDIUM COMPRESSION

: A

mild compression will be applied, when

MEDIUM COMPRESSION

highlighted.

MAXIMUM COMPRESSION

: When

MAXIMUM COMPRESSION

highlighted, a more severe compression
algorithm will be applied.

We recommend that you select the

MEDIUM

setting as a starting point

and change to the

MAXIMUM

setting

later, if desired. The Night mode may also
be adjusted directly any time a Dolby
Digital source is playing by pressing the

Night Mode Button

. When the

button is pressed,

D-RANGE

will

appear in the lower third of the video
screen and in the

Lower Display Line

. Press the

Controls

within 3 seconds to select

the desired setting.

No additional adjustments are available
for the internal DVD/CD changer, as the

SOURCE A.R.

line of Figure 10 is

automatically set to

16:9

and may not

be adjusted.

However, the video input and aspect ratio
(video screen) for external sources may
be adjusted. Scroll to the

VIDEO

INPUT

line to select a composite

video, S-video, or for the CABLE/SAT,
DIGITAL RECORDER and GAME/CAMERA
sources only, a component video input for
each external source. In addition, scroll to
the

SOURCE A.R.

line to specify

whether the source uses a 16:9 or 4:3
aspect ratio, or select auto detection.

The

menu also

contains a
