System Setup
Disc Recognition:
When set to on, the next
time a disc is inserted, the HS will show a “Disc
Recognized” message, with the question if you
would like to play the disc from the beginning or
would like to resume from where you last
stopped the disc. The memory can contain
information of the last 100 discs played.
PBC Support:
Activates PBC (Play Back
Control) Support for VCD discs.
Screen Saver:
Activates a Screen Saver to
prevent image “burn” in a video display device.
If you connect the HS Controller to a plasma
screen or video projector, we recommend you
activate the screen saver at all times.
Show Angle Icon:
Determines whether the
Angle Icon will appear on the screen when there
are different angles available on a DVD disc.
Audio Settings
The Audio Setting Submenu contains the
following settings. Follow the explanations in the
Upper Menu Line on the bottom of your screen
to change the settings.
Preferred Audio Language:
Defines your
preferred audio language. Every time a disc is
played that contains this audio language, it will
be activated automatically. If you do not find
your preferred language in the list of options,
you can select your preferred language by select-
ing OTHER, and than typing a 4-digit code found
in the code list on page 27.
Dynamic Range:
This setting allows you to
take advantage of the programming present on
some Dolby Digital recordings to reduce the vol-
ume of louder passages while maintaining intel-
ligibility of quieter passages. This means that you
may listen to programs at a level that allows the
full impact of a soundtrack to be heard at a vol-
ume that is lower than you might otherwise use
to avoid disturbing others. The HS 250 accom-
plishes this by compressing the audio to a
greater or lesser degree, depending on which
setting you choose. Three options are available:
•
MINIMUM
does not make any changes to
the original playback, and should be used
when the volume setting in the listening room
may be as loud as you desire.
•
MEDIUM
applies a moderate amount of
compression so that louder passages are a
little bit quieter.
•
MAXIMUM
applies more compression so
that louder passages are much softer.
Feel free to experiment with the settings at any
time.
Tone Control:
Activates or De-activates the
Bass and Treble settings. Once either the Bass or
Treble Settings are changed, the Tone Control
automatically switches to ON.
Bass Level:
Sets the level of low frequencies.
Treble Level:
Sets the level of high frequencies.
DVD Sound Mode:
Sets the audio format of
the DVD-disc playing (for other sources, see
Surround Mode in each respective chapter).
Once set to stereo, every surround format on a
DVD will be converted to a pure stereo signal.
Once set to any of the Dolby Virtual Speaker
modes, all stereo signals on a DVD are forced
any of the Dolby Virtual Speaker modes into vir-
tual surround for surround playback with only
two loudspeakers.
Audio Adjustment
The Audio Adjustment Submenu contains the
access to the output level adjustment settings of
the HS 250. Follow the explanations in the
Upper Menu Line on the bottom of your screen
to make adjustments.
Output level adjustment
Output level adjustment is a key part of the
configuration process for any surround sound
product.
The default settings of the DVD player is 0 dB for
all channels. In case you feel adjustments are
necessary in your setup, we advise you to make
the adjustments using the internal test tone
generator.
Once the cursor is moved to any of the speaker
level icons, the test noise will be heard from the
corresponding speaker. If this is not the case
please check whether the loudspeaker is
connected to the correct loudspeaker output on
the rear panel. The speaker level can be adjusted
by pressing ENTER and selecting an appropriate
level indicated in the Lower Menu Line. The test
noise will stop as soon as the cursor is moved
away from any speaker level icon.
