ESSENTIAL SETUP
This section describes the basic system setup necessary
for operation in the majority of home cinema systems.
The remaining setup menu details are described in
pages 17-21
For system setup a TV or monitor must be connected to
one of the MXV4000’s video outputs. A composite video
(CVBS) or s-video connection is recommended for initial
setup because these outputs remain active with
interlaced video in all modes. With the exception of the
Progressive/Interlaced switch on the rear panel (see
page 5), all of the setup procedure is carried out using
the remote control handset and On-Screen-Displays.
Press the SETUP key on the remote control to access
the setup menu. Any disc playing will pause and the
setup menu will appear as below.
The five icons at the top of the screen represent, from
left to right General Setup, Audio Setup, Video Setup,
Preferences and Exit. When Setup is first pressed the
menu opens at the General Setup Page with the leftmost
icon illuminated at the top of the screen.
Note: the Preferences menu is only accessible when the
unit is the player is in STOP mode (not Stop-Resume),
or with no disc or with the disc drawer open.
The setup menus are navigated using the navigation
keys
and SEL. Use the
and
keys to
highlight the desired setup menu. Press
once to
choose the Audio Setup Page and then SEL or
to
select this menu.
Within each setup menu page, use the
and
keys to
choose the desired option, followed by SEL to confirm
selection of that option. The
key is used to access
each item’s sub-menu, and the
key to go back to the
previous menu level. Select the “X” icon at the top right
of the screen, or press the Setup key at any time within a
menu, to exit the Setup menu system and return to
normal operation.
As an example, the selection of the Analog Output is
described below in detail.
1.1
Audio Setup Page
As soon as the audio setup page is selected ANALOG
OUTPUT is automatically chosen (indicated by white
lettering) with the three parameter options shown to the
right of the screen. The current parameter setting (e.g.
MULTI-CHANNEL) appears in yellow, the others in blue.
Press SEL or
to make a change to the ANALOG
OUTPUT. The current parameter will change to white
text and the
and
keys may be used to choose an
alternative setting (e.g. STEREO). Press SEL to confirm
this selection and exit the parameter setup or press
at
any stage to return without change. The chosen setting
will always be shown in yellow.
The same procedure is used to navigate and change
settings in all the setup menus.
ANALOG OUTPUT
This function changes what appears at the 5.1 channel
analogue audio outputs and duplicates the remote
“SOUND MODE” key. Whatever the sound track; the
STEREO analogue audio output always carries a 2-
channel downmix. When the sound track is in stereo it is
sent unchanged to the Front Left and Right 5.1 outputs
and to the stereo output.
The parameter options are:
STEREO
Multi-channel sound tracks are mixed
down to stereo on the Front Left and Right outputs.
Two channel sound tracks will be output unchanged
from Front Left/Right. Use this setting if the system
connected to Front Left/Right has only two
loudspeakers.
VIRTUAL SURR
Generates a “virtual” surround
effect through two loudspeakers, via the Front Left
and Right outputs. Use this setting if the system
connected to FL/FR has only two loudspeakers in
order to get a spacious sound effect.
MULTI-CHANNEL In this mode 5.1 channel Dolby
Digital or DTS soundtracks will be decoded and sent
to the 5.1 channel outputs. Two channel soundtracks
will be processed using Dolby Pro Logic II to deliver
surround sound. Use this setting when the multi-
channel outputs are connected to a 5.1 channel
playback system.
The default setting is MULTI-CHANNEL.
