[. . . ] Since you had previously entered a valid password, you will not be required to enter a password again before changing the rating. However, once you press the <> Navigation Button n and return to the SYSTEM SETUP submenu, the new password will take effect. When turned on, it allows you to pause a DVD, remove it from the player, play another disc, and then resume playback of the original disc at a later time from the point at which you paused. When a previously played disc is reinserted in the DVD 27, you will be presented with an on-screen status message asking whether you wish to start playback from the beginning of the disc or resume at the point where you left off. Note that even when the setting is activated, you must pause playback, rather than bring it to a full stop, and the unit must not be turned off between discs. The DVD 27 is capable of storing the information for up to five DVDs at a time. Audio Setup Submenu This submenu establishes the DVD's configuration for general audio settings, such as preferred language and digital audio settings. As with all setup menus, press the Setup Button j to activate the main menu screen, and then press the /¤ Navigation Buttons n until the AUDIO SETUP icon is highlighted, and press the Enter Button s again. SYSTEM SETUP 19 SYSTEM SETUP NOTE: Any changes made to the Digital Output setting during playback will not take effect until after play has been stopped and restarted. PCM Limit: This setting determines whether the digital audio output of the DVD 27 will be sent to your receiver or processor at its original sampling rate, or whether high-resolution (96kHz or greater) materials will be downsampled to 48kHz. Select the 96kHz setting if your receiver is capable of resolving digital signals greater than 48kHz and does not require downsampling. If you select the 96kHz setting when your receiver is not capable of processing signals with a sampling rate greater than 48kHz, then you will not hear any audio when high-resolution materials are played. If you are uncertain of your receiver's capabilities, select the 48kHz setting to limit the sampling rate to 48kHz. NOTE: Due to copyright restrictions, the DVD 27 will not output an uncompressed signal in the PCM format from a disc recorded with 96kHz/24-bit resolution, such as some DTS audio CDs. If the Digital Output setting in the Audio Setup submenu is set to PCM, and the PCM Limit setting is set to 96kHz, no audio will be outputted, and the message CGMS MUTE will appear in the Main Information Display B. "CGMS" stands for "Copy General Management System. " Should this message appear, change the PCM Limit setting to 48kHz to hear the audio at a lower resolution. Dynamic Range: This setting allows you to take advantage of the programming present on some Dolby Digital recordings to reduce the volume of louder 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 disturbing others. The DVD 27 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 27 and should leave the setting at MINIMUM. Video Setup Submenu This menu establishes the DVD's configuration for video format settings such as aspect ratio and output scan. It also allows access to the Video Adjustments banner (see next section). [. . . ] Note that you need not do so in step order; you may use the ¤/<> Navigation Buttons D to navigate to any step in the list. Although you may enter fewer programmed steps in your list than the number of tracks on the disc, you may not repeat tracks within the list. However, while the playlist is playing, all of the normal Repeat functions will be available. When you have finished entering all of the tracks in your playlist, press the Play Button 2L to begin playback of your programmed list. [. . . ]
