Front panel controls
On / Off switch.
The green LED glows when the unit is switched on and
ready to use.
Note:
If the
DVD 1240 R (HD)
is connected to a pre-amplifier,
integrated amplifier or receiver within an
'R'
system, it
can be switched off, with the whole system, by pressing
the
button on the remote control handset.
Note:
The mains button does not disconnect the device from
the mains completely. Some parts of the circuit are still
live when the unit is switched off.
Auto-Off function
The
DVD 1240 R (HD)
features an automatic power-off
function. If the player goes into ‘STOP’ mode at the end of
playing a disc, and if no controls are operated in the next
approx. 30 minutes, the
DVD 1240 R (HD)
automatically
switches itself off.
CD Drawer
The drawer of the
DVD 1240 R (HD)
consists of a
combination of a special plastic with good damping
qualities,
and
solid,
precision-machined
treated
aluminium. It’s floating and flexible suspension system
eliminates the transfer of mechanical vibration to the disc,
which can have an adverse effect on the sound.
Button for opening and closing the drawer.
(CD and SACD only)
With
this
button
the
video
section
of
the
DVD 1240 R (HD)
can be switched off.
When switched off the high frequency video signals can
not influence the susceptible audio signals. Switching off
the video section is recommended for highest possible
audio reproduction quality.
This button switches the phase of the signal from normal
to inverse phase and back.
The human ear is certainly capable of detecting absolute
phase when listening to particular instruments and
voices.
However, absolute phase is not always correct on
commercial recordings, and in this case you can invert it
(i. e. turn it through 180°) by pressing this button.
The correction occurs at the digital level and therefore
has no effect at all on sound quality.
Note:
The symbol
on the screen glows continuously when
INVERSE mode is switched on.
Selection of the oversampling method
Repeatedly pressing this button cyclically steps through
the various oversampling algorithms offered by the
DVD 1240 R (HD)
.
For SACD and CD playback each have two different sets
of oversampling algorithms. These special algorithms
implemented in the
DVD 1240 R (HD)
are optimised for
each data format.
A detailed description of the oversampling algorithms can
be
found
in
chapter
'Technical
Description
Oversampling'
.
