Delay time (b)
[DVD-V] (Dolby Digital, center and surround speakers only)
For optimum listening with 5.1-channel sound, all the speakers, except
for the subwoofer, should be the same distance from the seating posi-
tion. If you have to place the center or surround speakers closer to the
seating position, adjust the delay time to make up for the difference.
If distance d (from the center speaker) and f (from the surround
speakers) are the same as or greater than e (from the front speak-
ers), leave the delay time as “0”, the factory preset.
If either distance d or f is less than e, find the difference in the
relevant table and change to the recommended setting.
Changing the delay time
1. Press [3, 4, 2, 1] to select the delay time box and press
[ENTER].
2. Press [3, 4] to adjust the delay time and press [ENTER].

2. While listening to the test signal, press [3, 4] to adjust the
volume of the center and surround speakers so they are the
same apparent volume as the front speakers.
(The front speakers cannot be adjusted here.)
3. Press [ENTER].
The test signal stops.
Note
No signal is output for the subwoofer. To adjust its volume, play
something, then return to this screen to adjust to suit your taste.
When you are finished
Press [3, 4, 2, 1] to select  “Exit” and press [ENTER].
Note
The unit may be unable to output as set here due to limitations im-
posed by the unit itself or the disc being played. (The display’s
“P.PCM” indicator lights or “D.MIX” indicator goes out in these cases.)
Digital output
[DVD-A] [DVD-V]
Change the settings when you have connected equipment through
this unit’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal (OPTICAL).
PCM Down Conversion
Select how to output the high-quality audio signals (sampling fre-
quencies of 96 kHz and 88.2 kHz) on discs that do not have copy-
right protection. Choose the settings to suit the equipment you have
connected.
The equipment cannot output signals of 88.2 kHz or more if the set-
ting is “No” and the equipment is unable to handle these signals.
Note
≥Some equipment cannot handle sampling frequencies of 88.2 kHz,
even if they can handle 96 kHz. Read your equipment’s operating
instructions for details.
≥Signals are down-sampled to either 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz despite the
above settings if they have a sampling frequency of 176.4 kHz or
more or are copyright protected.
Dolby Digital
Bitstream (Factory preset):
When you have connected a unit with a built-in Dolby Digital decoder.
PCM:
When you have connected a unit that doesn’t have a built-in Dolby
Digital decoder.

Bitstream:
When you have connected a unit with a built-in DTS decoder.
¢These changes to digital audio output must be made, otherwise
bitstream signals the decoder cannot handle will be output. If
these signals are output, “noise” will be output which can cause
harm to your ears and speakers.

Home Theater
This unit has built-in Dolby Digital and DTS decoders (➡ page 25).
You can enjoy the powerful movie theater and hall-like sound available with Dolby Digital and DTS by connecting an amplifier with 5.1-channel
input terminals. You do not need to purchase separate Dolby Digital or DTS decoders.
Use analog connection to enjoy audio recorded with high sampling frequencies (over 48 kHz). Some of this material is copy-guarded
and will be down-sampled if you use digital connection.

∫Digital recording
You can record the digital signal directly to digital recording equip-
ment.
When recording DVDs, the signals must be converted to a signal the
recording equipment can handle. Use analog connection if the sig-
nals are copy-guarded.
To make a digital recording
1. Connect the recording equipment with an optical digital audio
cable (➡ [D] page 24).
2. When recording DVDs, make the following settings.
ADVANCED SURROUND (V.S.S.): OFF (➡ page 11)
PCM Down Conversion: Yes (➡ page 21)
Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround: PCM (➡ page 21)
∫Analog recording
You can record to a cassette deck or other recording equipment.
Using analog connection means sound will be unaffected by the
copy guards found on DVDs.
To make an analog recording

Reference
MP3MP3 refers to the type of music file that is compressed using MPEG
audio layer 3. A file is a single audio track and is treated as a chapter
on this unit. A folder (album) is treated as a title on this unit.
When making MP3 discs to play on this unit
Disc format
Conform to ISO9660 level 1 and level 2
File format
MP3 files that have the suffix “.MP3” or “.mp3”.
To play in a certain order
Prefix the folder and file names with numbers with the same number
of digits at the time of recording.
Files may not be recorded in the numbered order if the prefixes have
different numbers of digits, for example 1.mp3, 2.mp3, 10.mp3.
Some writing software may also cause recording to occur in a differ-
ent order.BitstreamThis is the digital form of multiple channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 chan-
nel) before it is decoded into its various channels.
Decoder
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This
is called decoding.
Dolby DigitalThis is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Labo-
ratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also
be 5.1-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be
recorded on one disc using this method.
Dolby Pro LogicA surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as
2 channels and then is restored to 4 channels for play. The surround
channel is monaural and can reproduce up to 7 kHz.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the
world. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic
sound effects are possible.
Dynamic rangeDynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound
that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest
level of sound before distortion occurs.
Frame still and field stillFrames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving pic-
ture. There are about 30 frames shown each second.
One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these
fields one after the other to create frames.
A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is
made up of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred,
but overall quality is high.
A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a
frame still so picture quality is lower.
I/P/B
MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with DVD-
Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.
I:Intra coded picture (I-picture)
This is the standard picture and is a complete picture in itself.
This means it has the best picture quality and is the best to use
when adjusting the picture.
P:Predictive coded picture (P-picture)
This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures.
B:Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture (B-picture)
This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and P-
pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.
Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)PCM is the usual digital method used for music CDs. DVDs have a
greater volume so they use linear PCM, which has a higher sampling
rate. Compressed PCM signals are called packed PCM (PPCM).

Pan&Scan/Letterbox
In general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention that they be
viewed on a widescreen television with an aspect ratio of 16:9. This
means you can view most material with the intended aspect ratio on
a widescreen television.
Material with this ratio will not fit onto a standard television with an
aspect ratio of 4:3. Two styles of picture, “Pan&Scan” and “Letter-
box”, deal with this problem.
Pan&Scan: The sides are cut off so the picture fills the screen.
Letterbox: Black bands appear at the top and bottom of the picture
so the picture itself appears in an aspect ratio of 16:9.
Playback control (PBC)
If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and infor-
mation with menus (called menu play in these instructions).
Title/ChapterDVD-Video are divided up into large sections, titles, and smaller sec-
tions, chapters. The numbers allocated to these sections are called
title numbers and chapter numbers.
Track
This is the smallest division on DVD-Audio, CD, and Video CD, and
usually equates to a single song.
