The DVD 31 is a state-of-the-art DVD player that combines the best of music, movies and still image reproduction in one, compact, slim-line product. The DVD 31 plays high-resolution audio in both multichannel and two-channel stereo from the latest DVD-Audio discs. [. . . ] The DVD 31 will down-sample any program material with higher sample rates so that it is compatible with your equipment. · If your receiver or processor is capable of handling digital signals up to 96kHz, select that option. The DVD 31 will down-sample any program material with higher sample rates so that it is compatible with your equipment. · If your receiver or processor is capable of handling digital signals up to 192kHz, select the No Limit option. In this case all signals will be passed through at their native rates without down-sampling. If you are unsure of the capabilities of your receiver or processor, we suggest that you start with the 96kHz option. If you select this setting and do not hear any audio when a high-resolution disc is played, change the setting to 48kHz so that the audio will be properly downsampled. Dynamic Range: This setting allows you to take advantage of the programming present on some Dolby Digital recordings to reduce the volume of louder, peak passages while maintaining intelligibility 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 volume that is lower than you might otherwise use to avoid complaints about loud volume levels. The DVD 31 accomplishes 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. Note that if your receiver or processor also allows you to program the dynamic range setting, also known as the "Night Mode, " you do not need to make any adjustments on the DVD 31 and should leave the setting at MINIMUM. Audio Adjustments: This setting activates the AUDIO ADJUSTMENTS menu's options. If your DVD 31 is connected to a receiver or processor that does NOT have the capability to adjust bass management/speaker size, output levels and delay times on its "direct" inputs, the proper setting here is On. However, if your receiver or processor does allow adjustment for these settings, we recommend that you make them there and select Bypass on this submenu. Delay Unit: This setting selects the measurement system used in entering delay times when the AUDIO ADJUSTMENTS menu is activated. Distance entry in feet is the default, but you may alternatively choose to enter the distances in meters. Audio Adjustments Menu This menu allows you to adjust the settings that control the audio output on the 5. 1-Channel Audio Outputs ¢ for bass management (speaker size), output level and delay times. The proper adjustment of these settings is key to optimal reproduction of DVDAudio discs, particularly when the DVD 31 is used with a receiver or processor that does not have audio adjustment capabilities for the direct inputs. Important Note: In order to avoid audio problems, when the DVD 31 is connected to a receiver or processor that DOES have the capability to adjust audio and bass management parameters internally for direct inputs, you may use that capability or adjust the settings in the DVD 31.
