Setting the Movie Player Audio Settings
-
Mix to a specific SD Audio bit stream -
This allows you to force audio to Dolby
Digital or DTS. Not suggested – may result in audio loss on some movies.
*Suggestion: If your receiver supports HDMI
then select
HD Audio (PCM)
which offers a far greater quality than SD Audio (ie: Dolby Digital 5.1).
D. Smart Volume Boost
-Default - 5 -
Normally leave this at ―5‖. Typically raising this will result in
higher surround sound volume but may drown out the center speaker.
Audio Setup Notes
1.
Proper Audio Settings are Required
-
*Important*
-
Improper audio
settings can result in blank video or other video playback problems
. Fully test
your audio settings and watch actual Blu-ray and DVD movies to ensure that
the correct settings have been made.
2.
You can also check the receiver‟s display
(if you are using one) to
confirm that the proper audio setting has been configured. Refer to the
number of speakers the receiver displays and other indicators such as PCM,
Dolby etc.
3.
LPCM offers the same quality as “Bit-Stream” Audio
. The ShowStar plays
HD Audio using
LPCM
not
HD Bit-stream,
where these terms are used:
LPCM = L
inear
P
ulse
C
ode
M
odulated uncompressed -- HD Audio
HD bit-stream
= Dolby TrueHD or DTS HD Master – HD Audio
SD Audio
= Stereo, Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1 surround sound – SD Audio
LPCM offers the same or better quality as bitstream. The only real difference is
that LPCM only displays ―LPCM― (or ―PCM―) on receivers display whereas the bit-
stream audio track will be displayed as ―Dolby TrueHD― or ―DTS HD Master―.
4.
Connecting HDMI directly to a TV.
Select
Mix to PCM
if you are connected
to a TV set via HDMI.
Note:
If your TV does not support HDMI PCM audio
you will have to use the stereo connection (rear panel green headphone
jack) and set up analog (―Speakers―) stereo.
