edge. Do not touch the recording surface.
Blu-ray Discs record data in very high density and the record layer is very
close to the disc surface. For this reason, Blu-ray Discs are more sensitive
�������������������������������������������������������������������������
and see dirty spots on the disc surface, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the disc from the Center out along the radial direction. Do not wipe the
disc in a circular motion.
Do not use record cleaning sprays or solvents such as benzene, thinner and
anti-static spray.
Do not attach labels or stickers to discs as this may cause the disc to warp,
become imbalanced or too thick, resulting in playback problems.
Avoid exposing the discs to direct sunlight or heat sources.
Do not use the following discs:
– Discs with exposed adhesive from removed stickers or labels. The disc may
get stuck inside the player.
– Warped or cracked discs.
– Irregularly shaped discs, such as heart or business card shapes.

1 Separate analogue stereo
The analogue stereo outputs should be used for play back of CDs, DVDs
����������������������������������������������������������������������������
stereo inputs.
Analogue stereo is also usually the best connection method for listening to
CDs and other stereo discs for best possible sound quality. It is often a good
idea to connect both the analogue stereo outputs (for CD playback) and
digital audio outputs or HDMI (for surround sound decoding) at the same
time.
To connect an analogue stereo system to the CXU, use stereo phono cables
(stereo 2RCA-2RCA).
2 Digital audio
The digital audio outputs should be used to decode the surround-sound
soundtracks of BD/DVDs with an external AV Receiver (Note: Digital
output must be set to "RAW" in the Audio setup page). The CXU sends an
undecoded audio bitstream to the AV Receiver for decoding into 5.1/7.1 etc.
Note: The latest HD audio types, SACD and DVD-A cannot be output over
SPDIF/TOSlink and an HDMI connection must be used for these.
������� �� ������ �������� ������ ��������� ���� �������� ������ ��� �� �������� ������
optic cable should be used (only one at a time).
Note: It is also possible to output stereo digital audio from the Digital Outputs
for recording on conventional CD-R/MD etc. machines, see section on CXU
setup.
3 Analogue 2 ch/5.1/7.1
The CXU is also capable of decoding Surround-Sound soundtracks itself and
outputting these as analogue Stereo, 5.1 or 7.1 depending on the settings in
the Speaker setup page in the CXU setup menu.

sections on setting the best output resolution, display aspect ratio and audio
settings. Many more advanced options are also covered later in the manual.

Setting up the player
Selecting the best output resolution
For the latest generation of 1080p, "Full HD" or "True HD" TV displays, the
best output resolution will naturally be 1080p. For earlier "HD Ready" digital
televisions this might be 720p or 1080i. It is usually best to set the output
of the CXU to the native resolution of the TV, consult the TVs manual for
details of the actual resolution of its panel. Large TVs are often 1080p (1920
x 1080) but smaller TVs are sometimes 720p (1280 x 720). These are general
recommendations that work for most users, but there can be exceptions.
Advanced users may want to try all supported resolutions and choose the
one that provides the best visual result.
The CXU also supports a special "Source Direct" output mode via its HDMI
output. This mode is recommended for use with external video processors or
high-end TVs with high quality scalers. In "Source Direct" mode, the player
works as a "transport". It decodes video from the discs and then sends the
raw video signal in its native resolution and format, without extra processing,
to the external video processor or TV. The actual output resolution thus varies
by content:
Content
Source direct output resolution
PAL DVD
576i
NTSC DVD
480i
�����������������������������������
����������������������������
Most Blu-ray TV shows or Concerts
1080i
(video-source)
SACD and DVD-Audio
1080p
For both HDMI outputs, the following output resolutions are available: 4Kx2K,
Auto, 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p/576p, 480i/576i, and Source Direct.
If 'Auto' is selected, the player will determine the output resolution based on
the best signal resolution that the TV can display. It does this by reading the
EDID of the TV via the HDMI connection, if all is well the TV will tell the CXU
the range of video outputs it can support and the CXU will pick the highest
one. The CXU will then always scale the output to this resolution.
If any of the other resolutions is selected the CXU will always scale the output
to the resolution you select.
Note: 4Kx2K is a new standard and only a handful of TVs currently support
this. For most TV selecting this option will cause the picture to be lost.
To change the output resolution, press the Res button on the remote to bring
up the 'Resolution' menu, then press the � or � buttons on the remote to

The CXU can perform Network Playback in one of the following three ways:
���As a digital media player (DMP): the CXU can actively search, access and
pull content from media servers on you network.
���As a digital media renderer (DMR): the CXU plays content received
('pushed') from a digital media controller (DMC). A DMC-capable UPNP/
DNLA media server is required. Plus the control APP you wish to use which
must be connected to the same network as the server and CXU. Refer to

Contrast – To adjust the contrast (white level) of the video output.
Note: Proper brightness and contrast settings are necessary for a quality
video output. If you do not have the correct black and white levels, your
images can appear washed out or can lose detail in shadows when watching
darker scenes. Televisions have brightness (black level) and contrast (white
level) controls; however it may require a combination of tweaking both the
player and your television to get the optimal result. First adjust the television's
picture controls for the best possible picture. Once that is done, try changing
�������������������������������������������������������������������������
Hue – Adjusts the hue (tint) of the video output.

Hi-Def – This mode works with Blu-ray and other high quality video
sources (720p, 1080i, or 1080p). It preserves the original look of the video
while imparting startling clarity and depth, providing the video with an
�����������������������������������������������
Gaming – This mode works with video games, Computer-Generated
Imagery (CGI) for movies and other clean video sources. It imparts
a stronger degree of depth, separation and clarity that video game
enthusiasts appreciate. This mode is recommended when you connect a
video game console via the HDMI input of the player.
Full Pop – This mode works with low-resolution or low-quality video
sources. It imparts the strongest sense of depth and realism, but you
may notice some possible visible artifacts with text.
�
������������� – The Darbee Visual Presence is completely bypassed and
the input video is not processed. In this mode, the Darbee Level and
Demo Mode (Darbee) cannot be adjusted.
Darbee Level: Adjusts the level of Darbee Visual Presence processing to
whichever level is best for your TV and viewing conditions, according to
your personal preference. You may use the �/�� buttons on the remote
to decrease/increase the level. The level can be adjusted in 1% steps and
within the range of 0 to 120%. A level of 0 is bypassed, the same as having

Demo Mode (Darbee Visual Presence): Allows you to enable a special
split-screen mode for the demonstration of Darbee Visual Presence video
processing technology. It can also be used as an aid for setting picture
adjustments for Darbee Mode and Darbee Level. It should NOT be used for
normal movie watching.
Split Screen – The video screen will be split in half. The left side
demonstrates the result of the Darbee Visual Presence video processing,
and the right side shows video without the help of Darbee Visual
Presence processing.
Swipe Screen – This mode is similar to Split Screen mode, except the
divider bar will move continuously from left to right indicating which
portion of the video is being processed.
��� (default) – Normal viewing mode.
Note: The Darbee button on the remote control provides direct access to the
Darbee Adjustment Menu. Use the Navigation �����buttons to select the

Demo Mode (VRS ClearView) – Enables a special split-screen mode for the
demonstration of VRS ClearView video processing technology. It can also be
used as an aid for setting picture adjustments for Detail Enhancement, Edge

used for normal movie watching.
On – The video screen will be split in half. The left side demonstrates the
result of the VRS Clear View video processing, and the right side shows
video without the help of VRS ClearView processing.
���(default) – Normal viewing mode.
Sharpness – Allows you to set the sharpness level for video output. Sharpness
is a video processing function that can control the image sharpness but at the
same time may cause unwanted artifacts. For HDMI 2 output, the sharpness
level can be set between 0 and +16, with the default level being 0. The higher
the level, the sharper the video details are. However, too high a sharpness

2. Dual HDMI output
Selects the output mode when both HDMI Output ports are in use. If only one
HDMI Output is active, this selection will not apply.
Split A/V (Recommended) – Use HDMI 1 Out as the dedicated video output
port and HDMI 2 Out as the dedicated audio output port. This setting will
ensure the best possible picture quality and the highest possible audio
resolution.
Dual Display – Send digital audio and video signals to both HDMI Outputs
simultaneously. This setting is only recommended when two HDMI displays
are required, since the surround sound audio signal may be down-mixed to
stereo and the original audio quality may be lost.
Note:
– The player can automatically adjust the resolution of digital audio and
video signals depending on the capabilities of the connected television
and receivers.
– For HDMI 1 OUT, the dedicated Darbee Visual Presence and Silicon Image
VRS ClearView video processors will be used unless Source Direct is
selected, in which case the Darbee and Silicon Image video processors
are bypassed.
– In Split A/V mode, HDMI 1 OUT has video only with no audio, but HDMI
2 OUT will have audio and possibly video. This is because HDMI embeds
audio into video data so there must always be a video signal, even if it’s only
a blank screen, to carry audio through.
3. 3D output
Chooses the video output mode for available 3D content at the HDMI output
ports.
Auto (default) – Output 3D if supported both by the disc content and the
display. The player automatically checks for the existence of 3D content on
��������������������������������������������������������������������������������
the player sends 3D video from its HDMI output terminals, otherwise only
2D video is sent out. 3D-compatible glasses are required compatible with
your TV.
�� – Always output 2D video format, even when 3D video exists on the
disc. This can guarantee the video quality in case that your TV is not 3D
compatible, or some necessary part (such as the 3D glasses) is missing.
Forced – Always output 3D video format for 3D Blu-ray discs. You might
experience a black screen (no video output) if your TV is not 3D compatible.
4. 3D setting
Adjusts the playback settings for better 3D visual quality.
Blank HDMI 2 (Yes/No) – This allows the CXU to force HDMI 2 to output a
2D blank screen when HDMI 1 outputs 3D video. If HDMI 2 is connected to
a receiver that is not 3D compatible, you may encounter audio issues from
the receiver. Setting this option to "Yes" can resolve this issue. The default
is 'No'.
2D->3D Depth – Adjusts the 3D depth perception when performing 2D-to-3D
conversion (also called "simulated 3D"). The default value is 8.
3D TV Size – To enter the diagonal screen size of your HDTV. This option
applies to 3D mode only, to facilitate the player adjusts the 3D image for
better visual quality. The diagonal size of your TV screen, by default it is 46
inches.
5. TV aspect ratio
Sets the aspect ratio of the player's output image.
16:9 Wide – Choose this when the display is widescreen 16:9. 16:9 materials
will be displayed in its native aspect ratio, and 4:3 materials will be stretched
horizontally.
16:9 Wide/Auto (default) – Choose this when the display is widescreen 16:9.
16:9 materials will be displayed in its native aspect ratio, and 4:3 materials
will be displayed with black borders on both sides in order to maintain the
original 4:3 aspect ratio.
6. TV system
Chooses the output video standard (PAL/NTSC) to match your TV.
PAL – When playing PAL-encoded discs, no system conversion is performed.
NTSC-encoded contents are converted to PAL output. Blu-ray discs encoded
with 24Hz frame rate are converted to 50Hz frame rate if neither 1080p24
Output nor Source Direct output resolution is enabled.
NTSC – When playing NTSC-encoded discs, no system conversion is
performed. PAL encoded contents are converted to NTSC output. Blu-ray
discs encoded with 24Hz frame rate are converted to 60Hz frame rate if
neither 1080p24 Output nor Source Direct output resolution is enabled.
Multi-system – No system conversion is performed. The output video system
is the same as that encoded on the disc. Blu-ray discs encoded with 24Hz
frame rate are converted to 60Hz frame rate if neither 1080p24 Output nor
Source Direct output resolution is enabled. This mode requires a TV that
supports both NTSC and PAL systems.
Note: Do not select "Multi-system" if your TV does not support both PAL and
NTSC systems. The TV display may become a black screen upon inserting

happen, you can press the Eject button to eject the disc tray, and then use
the Setup Menu to correct the "TV System" setting.
7. Output resolution
Chooses the output resolution that best matches your television's native
resolution. For a detailed description on how to choose a proper output
resolution, please refer to the previous section "Selecting the best output
resolution" of this manual.
8. 1080p24 output
This option only applies to the HDMI output at 1080p resolution. Many Blu-ray
discs that originated from theatrical movies are encoded using 24Hz frame
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
your TV properly supports 1080p 24Hz, smoother motion can be achieved by
enabling 1080p24 output for such discs.
Auto (default)– Video encoded in 24Hz frame rate will be output as 1080p
24Hz if the TV informs the player that it can support the 1080p24 signal.
Forced – Video encoded in 24Hz frame rate will be output as 1080p 24Hz
without regard to whether the TV can support the 1080p24 signal or not. This
is useful if the TV can actually support 1080p24 but does not properly state
its capability. Please note that if the TV cannot support 1080p24, selecting
this option will result in no video.
�� – Video encoded in 24Hz frame rate will be converted to 50Hz (PAL) or
60Hz (NTSC)
9. DVD 24p conversion
Enables 24Hz frame rate conversion for DVD. This option is only available
when 1080p24 Output is enabled (set to On). Many DVDs that originate from
theatrical movies are encoded with a technique called "3:2 telecine" in order
�����������������������������������������������������������������������������
��������������������������������������������������������������������������
as 1080p/24Hz. Smoother motion may be achieved by enabling this option, if
both the TV and the DVD disc meet the conversion conditions.
On – Converts DVD to 24Hz frame rate when possible. Remember that motion
errors may be observed if the DVD is not suitable for such conversion.
�� (default) – Does not convert DVD to 24Hz frame rate.
10. 4Kx2K output
Sets the 4Kx2K resolution options. This option only applies to the HDMI
output at 4Kx2K resolution.
Auto – Output 4Kx2K if the resolution is supported by the display and the
content is suitable for 4K up-scaling. The player automatically checks for
4K compatibility of the TV or projector. If the display is compatible and the
content being played has a 24Hz (or 23.976Hz) frame rate, the player sends
4Kx2K video from its HDMI output terminal; otherwise, the HDMI video is sent
out at 1080p resolution or less depending on the display’s capability.
Forced – Always output 4Kx2K video format regardless of whether the TV or
projector supports it, or whether the content being played is suitable for 4K
up-scaling. You may experience a black screen (no video output) if the display
is not 4K compatible. For content that has a 50Hz or 60Hz (59.95Hz) frame
rate, the output will be 4Kx2K at 25Hz or 30Hz (29.97Hz), and video quality
may not be optimal due to frame rate conversion.
Auto (50/60Hz) (default) – This option is similar to "Auto", except that if the
video frame rate is 50Hz or 60Hz and the TV or projector supports the video
format of 4Kx2K at 50Hz or 60Hz with 4:2:0 colour space, then the video
content will be up-converted to this format through the HDMI 1 out.
Forced (50/60Hz) – This option is similar to "Forced", except that if the source
video frame rate is 50 or 60 Hz, then it will always be up-converted to 4Kx2K
at 50 or 60 Hz with YCbCr 4:2:0 colour space through the HDMI 1 OUT.
11. HDMI options
���������������������������������������������������������������������������
sub-menu, select "HDMI Options" from the Video Setup menu. The following
HDMI options are available:
Colour Space (HDMI 1) – To select the colour space for the HDMI 1 output.
Auto (recommended) – The player checks with the display device to
automatically determine what colour space to use. If the display device
supports YCbCr 4:4:4, then it will be used to avoid extra colour space
conversion.
RGB Video Level – The HDMI output uses RGB colour space and normal
signal range suitable for video displays.
RGB PC Level – The HDMI output uses RGB colour space and expands
the signal range. The expanded signal range is suitable for personal
computer (PC) displays. Some TVs are designed to be used as a PC
monitor, and expect signal in expanded RGB range when the DVI input
is selected. For these displays if the video signal uses the normal RGB
range, the black-white contrast will be reduced. You can set the player
to use the RGB PC Level output and restore proper contrast.
YCbCr 4:4:4 – The HDMI output uses YCbCr 4:4:4 colour space.
YCbCr 4:2:2 – The HDMI output uses YCbCr 4:2:2 colour space.
Generally this is the colour space that is closest to the colour space
encoded on the discs. (All discs are encoded in YCbCr 4:2:0 colour
space, and the video decoder decodes it into YCbCr 4:2:2.)
Colour Space (HDMI 2) – To select the colour space for the HDMI 2 output.
The available options are the same as those for Colour Space (HDMI 1).
Deep Colour (HDMI 1) – To select the Deep Colour mode for the HDMI 1
output. Deep Colour is an option for some TVs or projectors that feature HDMI
v1.3 or higher input. Normally, each pixel of the video image is transmitted
using 24-bit data (8-bit per channel for R, G, B or Y, Cb, Cr). If Deep Colour is
supported, each pixel of the video image can be transmitted using 30-bit (10-
bit per channel) or 36-bit (12-bit per channel) data. The increased bit depth
should result in smoother colour transitions and better gradients.
36 Bits – Uses the 36-bit per pixel Deep Colour mode.
30 Bits (Dithered) – Uses the 30-bit per pixel Deep Colour mode with
dithering technique. 30 Bits – Uses the 30-bit per pixel Deep Colour mode.
���� ���������� – Does not use Deep Colour, but applies the dithering
technique.
���(default) – Does not use Deep Colour.
Deep Colour (HDMI 2) – Allows you to select the Deep Colour mode for the
HDMI 2 output . The available options are the same as those for HDMI Deep
Colour (HDMI 1).
Note:
– Since the Deep Colour feature is optional and may not be supported by all
TVs, enabling Deep Colour while connected to a TV without this feature may
�������������������������������
– At this time, no disc is encoded with Deep Colour. Enabling Deep Colour
will not magically make colours richer, but will help preserve the maximum
precision as a result of video processing and picture control adjustment.
– Dithering is a technique to improve the image colour depth with limited
colour quantization.
De-interlacing Mode – To select the algorithm that the player should use
to convert interlaced video on a DVD or Blu-ray Disc to progressive output.
Selecting the proper de-interlacing mode will ensure the output video
matches the original content and is free of de-interlacing artifacts. The
available options are:
Auto (default) – Automatically selects the de-interlacing mode depending
on the video type. This is the recommended setting as it sets the player
to optimally process a variety of signal types.
Film�������������������������������������������������������������������
���������������������������������������������
Video – De-interlaces video originally shot with a video camera. Use this
setting only if you are certain the disc is not made from footage originally
�����������������������
12. Display options
���������� ���� �������� ���� ����������� ���������� ������������� ���� ����������
display options are available:
Subtitle Shift – To set the display position for subtitles. When the "Subtitle
Shift" is set at 0 (default), subtitles are displayed at the original position as
����������������������������������������������������������������������������
are shifted up. When it is set at a value between -1 and -10, subtitles are
shifted down. This feature is helpful for instance to customers using a 2.35:1
"Constant Image Height" video projection system. Subtitles can be shifted to
������������������������������������������������
OSD Position – To set the display position for on-screen display (OSD).
When the "OSD Position" is set at 0, OSD is shown at the top and bottom of
the video screen. When it is set at a value between 1 and 5, OSD is shifted
towards the vertical center line of the video screen. Similar to the subtitle
shift setting above, the "OSD Position" feature is helpful to customers using
a 2.35:1 "Constant Image Height" video projection system.
OSD Mode – To select how long the on-screen display information, such as
elapsed or remaining time, stays on the TV screen.
Normal – On-screen display information stays on the TV screen until the
user cancels it.
Minimal – On-screen display information shows on the TV screen for a few
seconds and then disappears. The front panel display still maintains the
selected display information.
Remaining – On-screen display information stays on the TV screen until the
user cancels it. By default display remaining time instead of elapsed time.

Set the secondary audio program mixing option
The "Audio Format Setup" section of the Setup Menu system allows you to
�����������������������������������������������
1. Secondary audio
Sets the secondary audio program mixing option. Some Blu-ray discs contain
a secondary audio and video program, such as a director's commentary.
�����������������������������������������������������������������������
setup menu item allows you to decide whether to mix the secondary audio
program and menu sound into the primary audio.
On – The secondary audio program and menu sound are mixed into the
primary audio. Usually this will cause the primary audio volume to be
slightly reduced. High resolution primary audio will be converted to a normal
resolution in order to mix with the secondary audio.
�� (default) – The secondary audio program and menu sound are not mixed
into the primary audio and you cannot hear the secondary audio or menu
clicking sound. This setting preserves the highest possible audio quality for
the primary audio.
2. HDMI audio
Selects the digital audio output format from the HDMI output.
Auto (default) – The player checks with the device connecting to HDMI output
to automatically determine which audio format to use.
LPCM – Digital audio output via HDMI will be multi-channel Linear PCM
format. When this option is selected, compressed audio bit streams will be
decoded by the player and then sent as multi-channel PCM. This setting is
recommended when connecting the HDMI output directly to a TV or to a
receiver without advanced audio decoding capabilities.
Bitstream – Digital audio output via HDMI will be in bitstream format. This
option is recommended when connecting the HDMI output to an A/V receiver
or processor that supports advanced audio decoding of Dolby TrueHD and
DTS-HD Master Audio etc.
�� – No digital audio output via HDMI.
Note: If you use HDMI to connect audio to an HDMI A/V receiver or
audio processor, it is important that you choose 720p or higher HDMI
output resolution when playing high resolution audio content (DVD-Audio,
SACD, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio). According to the HDMI
�������������� ���� ���������� ���������� ���� ������ ��� ������������� ��� ���� ������
������������������������������������������������������������������������
can only support 2 channels of audio with high sample rate (up to 192kHz), or
8 channels of audio with standard sample rate (up to 48kHz). If you play high
resolution audio content at the 480p/576p resolution, you may get reduced
audio resolution, incomplete audio channels, or even no audio/video output at
all. Choosing a higher output resolution such as 720p or above allows enough
bandwidth for all high sample rate audio channels.
3. Coaxial/Optical output
Sets the maximum Linear PCM output frequency for the coaxial/optical
digital output. This menu item is intended to ensure that the audio output is
compatible with equipment that cannot support high sample rates. It sets an
upper limit to decide whether the player shall down-sample audio.
Note: When using the Stereo or 7.1 Analog Audio outputs the LPCM rate limit
should always be set to 192kHz to allow the internal playback engine to feed
the up-sampler with the maximum sample-rate the content supports.
48kHz LPCM – Supported by most equipment. Higher sample rate material
will be downsampled to 48kHz.
96kHz LPCM – Allows a higher sampling rate and frequency response. If
using an externally connected AV receiver or DAC via coaxial or optical,
������������������������������������������������������������������������������
will be downsampled to 96kHz.
192kHz LPCM – Allows the highest sampling rate and frequency response.
If using an externally connected AV receiver or DAC via coaxial or optical,
�������������������������������������������������
Bitstream (default) – Passes audio as compressed bitstream format to the
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������
decoding Dolby Digital and/or DTS etc.
Note: Due to copyright restrictions and bandwidth limitations, SACD audio
cannot be sent through the coaxial/optical audio output, and the high
resolution audio on DVD-Audio and Blu-ray discs will be sent out at reduced
resolution.
4. SACD output
Selects the audio output format for SACD.
Auto – The player checks with the device connected to the HDMI output to
automatically determine which audio format (DSD or PCM) to use for SACD
playback.
PCM (default) – SACD Direct Stream Digital (DSD) data is decoded by the
player and converted into multi-channel, high resolution PCM data. The
HDMI output can be sent to an external AV receiver capable of receiving
multi channel PCM (HDMI 1.1 or higher inputs are required). The CXU's own
audio outputs are also active and playback of SACD material is possible by
the CXU itself.
DSD – SACD DSD data is sent out via HDMI without any conversion. For
decoding by an external AV receiver capable of receiving DSD (HDMI 1.2a or
higher inputs are required and the receiver must actually include support for
DSD as it is not a mandatory requirement of the HDMI spec).
5. HDCD decoding
����������������������������������������������������������������������������
discs.
On – HDCD is decoded by the CXU. For HDCD discs, this gives expanded
dynamic range and improved audio resolution.
�� (default) – HDCD is treated as regular CD and output as a native bitstream
preserving the hidden encoding. This is useful when the CXU is connected to
an HDCD-capable A/V receiver via a digital audio output link (Coaxial, Optical,
or HDMI) the output is unprocessed so the A/V receiver can perform HDCD
decoding instead.
Note: If your receiver is capable of HDCD decoding, it is recommended
��������������������������������������������������������������������������
decoding HDCD twice. This will prevent the occasional pop or crackle sounds
that occur when HDCD is decoded twice.
Audio signal reference chart
Blu-ray Discs may contain many types of audio signal formats, some of which are high resolution types such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. Blu-ray

Down mix mode
Down mix is the process of converting multi-channel audio to a lesser number
of channels. For example, converting a 5.1ch source to stereo or converting
a 7.1ch source to 5.1ch. Down mixing allows the audio output from the
player to match the exact number of speakers available in your home theatre
system.
The current down mix mode is displayed in the lower right corner of the
speaker placement illustration.
To change the audio down mix setting, press the Enter button while the
cursor is over the "Down Mix" option. The following down mix modes are
available:
LT/RT – Left Total / Right Total. The Center and surround channels are
decoded and then Matrix encoded into the two front channels. A Dolby Pro
Logic receiver can then decode the two channel audio that is output back
into surround audio.
Stereo - This mode down-mixes multi-channel audio to 2-channel stereo
output. For original stereo content the output will not change. For original
multi-channel content the surround and Center channels will be mixed with
the left and right front channels. Recommended for use with TV sets or stereo
������������������������������������������������
5.1Ch – This mode enables 5.1ch decoded audio output. The number of
actual output channels depends on the disc. If the source content has

(Sound Pressure Level) meter. The trim level can be set to +/- 10dB in 0.5dB
increments.
Notes:
– Increasing the trim level above 0dB may result in distortion if the original
audio level is already high. When this occurs the waveform becomes
clipped and audible distortion can be heard. In this situation, it is necessary
to reduce the trim level until the distortion is removed. When using the
trim level for speakers, it is recommended that you set the least sensitive
speaker’s Trim Level to 0dB, and set other speakers’ trim level to negative
values.
– Each speaker can be set to independent trim levels and there is no linked
pair limitation.
Other audio processing settings
1. Crossover frequency
����� ���� �������� ����� ��� ���� ��� �������� ��� ��������� ��������������� �����
frequencies are not passed to the speakers to reduce possible distortion,
bass frequencies will instead be redirected to the subwoofer.
40Hz / 50Hz / 60Hz / 70Hz / 80Hz / 90Hz / 100Hz / 110Hz / 120Hz / 130Hz /
140Hz / 150Hz / 160Hz / 200Hz / 250Hz – These are the available crossover
frequencies. You can press the �/� buttons and the Enter buttons to select
it. This option applies to all speakers (center, front, surround, and surround
back speakers). By default the crossover frequency is 80Hz.
2. Dynamic range control
Sets the Dynamic Range Compression (DRC). DRC can smooth out the sonic
peaks and valleys common with wide-range digital audio. Enabling DRC may
�����������������������������������������������������������������������������
restores the sonic energy present in the original recording.
Auto� ���������� �� ����� ��� ���� �������� ������ ��������� ��� ���� ������ �����
option applies to Blu-ray Discs only. For other disc types no dynamic range
compression is applied.
On – Turn on dynamic range compression.
���������������������������������������
Note: Dynamic Range Compression is applied to the analogue audio output
and digital audio outputs (HDMI, Coaxial and Optical) when the audio format
is set to PCM.
3. DTS Neo:6 mode
Enables DTS Neo:6 audio processing and select the listening mode. DTS
Neo:6 is a digital signal processing that can expand the original stereo source
to 7.0 (L, R, C, LS, RS, LR, RR) or 7.1 (with Bass Management) surround.
Music – Enables DTS Neo:6 audio processing for stereo music sources.
Cinema – Enables DTS Neo:6 audio processing for digital TV box or stereo
movie sources.
�������������������������������������������������������������������������
4. Output volume
Enable or disable the analogue volume controls.
Variable (default) – Enables the analogue volume control. Use the Volume
buttons on the remote to decrease/increase the analogue audio output level
(the maximum is 100).
Fixed – Disables the analogue volume control. The Volume buttons on the
����������������������������������������������������������������������������
���������������
5. A/V Sync
Allows you to add a slight delay to the audio so it is synchronized to the
video. You may use the �/� buttons on the remote to decrease/increase the
audio delay. The delay can be adjusted in 10ms steps and within the range
of -100ms to +200ms. The delayed time will be applied to all output terminals
including HDMI 1 and 2, Coaxial, Optical, and 7.1 outputs.
Notes:
������� ������� ������ ������ ������ ������ ��� ��������� ���� ����� ��� ���� �������
���������� ���� ��� ���� ��������� ������ �������� ����������� ���� ������� ������
used for each output. Please adjust this setting based on the actual output
terminal in use.
– The negative adjustment values are for cancelling out the audio delay that
the player automatically applies. Depending on the video source and the
time it takes to process the video, the main decoder chip automatically
applies an audio delay in order to optimize audio video synchronization.
The negative manual settings reduce the automatic audio delay, while the
positive manual settings apply additional delay. Any negative value setting
beyond the player's automatic delay will be treated as completely cancelling
the automatic delay. For example, if the "A/V Sync" value is manually set
to -100ms and for the current video source the player applies a 70ms
���������� ������ ������� ���� ����� ������� ��� ����� ���� ����� ������ ������ �����
cancelled and the audio is not delayed at all. It is not possible to put audio
ahead of video using this setting.
– For content sent through HDMI IN, the "A/V Sync" adjustment only works
with positive values.

4. HDMI CEC
CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) is an optional HDMI feature that
can enable convenient remote control and automatic setup of consumer
electronics over the HDMI connection. The remote control function allows
you to use a single remote handset to operate multiple devices connected
via HDMI. For example, you may use the TV remote to control playback of
the Blu-ray disc player. The automatic setup function can automatically turn
on the TV and change to the correct input when you start playing a disc in
