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 also 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.
DIGITAL AUDIO
Choose DIGITAL AUDIO and press SEL to access the
digital audio setup page.
The first menu item is DIGITAL OUTPUT which selects
the signal delivered to the coax and optical digital
outputs (it does not affect the HDMI output). The
parameter options are:
OFF
Coax and Optical digital outputs switched
off.
ALL
All sound tracks types, PCM, Dolby Digital
and DTS, sent to digital outputs. Use this setting if
the digital output is fed to a receiver or processor
which has Dolby Digital and DTS decoding.
PCM ONLY Only PCM (2-channel stereo) sound
tracks are sent direct to the digital outputs. Multi-
channel sound tracks are downmixed to stereo. Use
this setting if the digital output is fed to a receiver or
processor or TV which cannot decode Dolby Digital
or DTS sound tracks.
The default setting is ALL.
The second menu item is LPCM OUTPUT which can be
set to 48 or 96kHz. This only affects certain discs which
have 24bit 96kHz soundtracks. Only set to 96kHz if your
receiver or processor can accept 96kHz PCM inputs.
Otherwise set to 48kHz and the MXV4000 will down-
sample to 48kHz when necessary.
The default setting is 48kHz
SPEAKER SETUP (5.1 ch analogue outputs only)
Choose SPEAKER SETUP and press SEL to enter the
Speaker Setup menu page. The Speaker menu setup
allows optimisation of the bass management and the
adjustment of individual speaker volumes and delays.
Note: Speaker settings are only available for the multi-
channel analogue audio output.
The bass management settings set up the system to
distribute the audio optimally to your specific speakers.
When any speaker is set to “Small”, bass frequencies
below 120Hz in that channel are re-directed to the
subwoofer.
FRONT SPEAKER
Set to LARGE if Front Left
and Right speakers can reproduce frequencies
below 120Hz. Otherwise set to SMALL.
CENTER SPEAKER
Set to LARGE if Centre
speaker can reproduce frequencies below 120Hz.
Otherwise set to SMALL. Set to OFF if there is no
Centre speaker; centre channel information will then
be sent to the Front Left and Right speakers.
SURROUND SP
Set to LARGE if Surround Left
and Right speakers can reproduce frequencies
below 120Hz. Otherwise set to SMALL. Set to OFF if
there are no Surround speakers; surround
information will then be sent to the Front Left and
Right speakers.
SUBWOOFER
Set to ON if a Subwoofer is
installed, to OFF if there is no Subwoofer. Do not set
all
other speakers to Small if there is no subwoofer or
bass information will be lost.
SPEAKERS VOLUME
Note: Speakers Volume can only be adjusted when
no disc is loaded or if the drawer is open.
Choose this option and press SEL to bring up the
SPEAKERS VOLUME SETUP screen. Each
channel’s volume level, FRONT LEFT, FRONT
RIGHT, CENTER, SUBWOOFER, SURROUND L,
and SURROUND R, can be individually trimmed over
the range -6dB to +6dB in 1dB steps, using the
and
navigation keys, to ensure a balanced sound
stage. A test tone is automatically generated to aid
correct level setting. When all the levels have been
set, press SEL to return to the previous menu.
Note: The LFE (“0.1”) channel is only routed to the
subwoofer. LFE channel information will be lost when
using the 5.1 channel analogue outputs if no
subwoofer is connected.
