SPEAKERS DELAY
Choose this option and press SEL to bring up the
SPEAKERS DELAY SETUP screen. The audio
delays to the, CENTER, SURROUND L and
SURROUND R speakers can be adjusted as
necessary over the range 0 to 15 milliseconds (ms)
in 1ms steps, using the
and
navigation keys.
The correct delays can be calculated by measuring
the distance from the listening position to each of the
speakers. The distances to the Centre, Surround Left
and Surround Right speakers should then each be
subtracted from the Front Left/Right distance. If the
distance is measured in feet, multiply this difference
figure by 0.9 to get the required delay in milliseconds
– if in metres, multiply by 2.9. For example:
With the Front Left and Right speakers 3.0m from the
listener, delays should be set as in the table below.
Speaker Distance
3m minus
Distance
x 2.9

Centre 2.7 m

1 ms
Surround L 1.9 m
1.1 m
3.19 ms
3 ms
Surround R 1.0 m
2.0 m
5.8 ms
6 ms
When all the delays have been set, press SEL to
return to the previous menu.
Note: The Left and Right Front speakers should
normally be positioned equally distant from the
listening position and further away than the other
speakers.
The default SPEAKER SETUP settings are: all speakers
Large, Subwoofer on, volumes all 0dB, delays 0 ms.
CD UPSAMPLING
This feature allows a music CD to be converted to a
higher sampling rate for better sound quality, using
sophisticated digital signal processing. When the
upsampling function is activated, the player will
automatically switch to stereo mode. The sample rate
can be converted to 88.2kHz (x 2) or 176.4kHz (x4).
Setting upsampling to OFF returns the data rate to the
CD standard of 44.1kHz. The default setting is
UPSAMPLING OFF.
Notes:
-
CD UPSAMPLING can only be set when a CD is
loaded.
-
This setting only affect signals at the analog
outputs.
-
Upsampling is automatically reset to OFF when
the disc tray is opened.
NIGHT MODE
This feature is only available for movies with Dolby
Digital sound tracks. When NIGHT MODE is switched
ON it compresses the dynamic range of the audio by
automatically increasing the volume in quiet passages,
and reducing it when loud. Switching NIGHT MODE OFF
returns the audio to its full dynamic range.
The default setting is NIGHT MODE Off.
HDMI AUDIO
This allows the audio in the HDMI output to be set On or
Off. Always set to Off if you do not want to use the audio
from the HDMI output.
The default the HDMI AUDIO output setting is OFF.
Notes:
– When the HDMI AUDIO output is set On, and
audio signals are being set to an HDMI compatible
component (e.g. a TV), the other digital audio
outputs will be muted.
– When DIGITAL AUDIO is set to OFF, but HDMI
AUDIO is set to ON and an HDMI connection is
established between the monitor and processor/
receiver, digital audio signals will still be present on
the HDMI output.
– When DIGITAL AUDIO is set to ALL, PCM digital
audio signals will be sent to the HDMI output if the
monitor/ processor/receiver only supports PCM
format.

Video Setup Page
TV TYPE
Set this parameter to PAL, NTSC or MULTI to suit your
television. Before making any change ensure that your
TV supports the TV system to be selected.
PAL
Select this if the connected TV is a “PAL
system only” TV. The MXV4000 will process
video signals from NTSC discs and output
them in PAL format, but there may be some
jerkiness of motion.
NTSC
Select this if the connected TV is an “NTSC
system only” TV. The MXV4000 will process
video signals from PAL discs and output them
in NTSC format, but there may be some
jerkiness of motion.
MULTI
Select this if the connected TV is compatible
with both NTSC and PAL formats (a multi-
system TV). The output format will be in
accordance with the video signals from the
disc.
Notes:
1. If, when “TV TYPE” is changed, the picture does not
display properly on your TV, wait 15 seconds for auto
recover to activate. If the picture is OK, select the “OK”
box and press SEL (twice) to confirm the new setting.
2. If you have a PAL/NTSC compatible TV always set to
MULTI to get the best picture quality with all discs.
3. The default TV TYPE setting depends upon the
region code setting of the MXV4000.
