    Basic Setup
    Audio Setup
    Downmix
    This function can process a multi-channel audio source to
    a two channel stereo signal. The options are Stereo and
    Off.
    Speaker setup
    1 Distance setup
    In order to make the surround sound more effective and suit the
    accoustic conditions in your listening room, you may need to delay
    the signal coming from some of the speaker by setting the distance
    between the speakers and the listening position.
     • This function is  to set the distance of the front
    speaker, center speaker and rear speaker.
     • The distance range is from 1.5m  to 9.2m.
    2 Test tone
     • This function is available to DVD mode only.
     • When setting TEST TONE on, the unit will give signals
    to each speaker respectively, so you can decide if any
    fine-tuning is needed for that speaker.
     • The test tone function can be activated even when
    there is no disc in the tray.
    Dynamic range setting
    In many listening situations, it is not recommended to set
    the volume too high, and thus the loudest sound must
    be compressed downwards in level. Likewise, the very
    quiet sounds would be inaudible and must be brought
    upwards in level to be heard. Dolby Digital satisfies these
    needs through the dynamic range controlling.
    Selects the dynamic range compression to fit the indi-
    vidual listening situation of the audience. The variable
    range is Softer, Soft and OFF.
    •Softer:  Audio with highly compressed dynamic range.
    •Soft: Audio with partially compressed dynamic range.
    •OFF: Audio without compressed dynamic range.
    Note: Dynamic range is only applicable on Dolby
    Digital soundtrack.

    The Rating Limits feature lets you determine what types of
    discs can be played in the player, and what types of discs will
    require a password to override the rating limit that you’ve
    set. In the United States of America (USA), the ratings
    feature is based on the ratings set up by the MPAA (Motion
    Pictures Association of America) such as R, PG, G, etc. Some
    countries use a different rating system.
    The system ranks the ratings from 1 to 8 in order to accom-
    modate the ratings systems used in other countries (1 is
    considered material that is least offensive and 8 is consid-
    ered the most offensive).
    Note: In order for the Ratings Limits to be enforced, the
    DVD Player must be locked and the disc you’re playing must
    contain a movie (or a title) that is rated.

    mp3 recommendation
    •  Use .mp3 as the extension when converting audio files
    into mp3 for saving onto CD-R(W) or CD-ROM, e.g.
    Rocky08.mp3. Do not use any other extension e.g. .doc, .pdf.
    •  Do not use the .mp3 extension for other text or non-audio
    data files as this may result in serious malfunction and
    harmful noise interference.
    •  Most commonly available CD creation software can make
    files compatible for the system but do not forget to finalize
    your disc after creation.  This set cannot read DirectCD
    recordings.
    •In order to get audio CD quality, you need to record your
    mp3 CD at 128 kbps.  You can record up to 256 kbps.  Be-
    yond 256 kbps, the unit might not read the CD.
    •  Do not combine CD Audio and mp3 tracks onto a CD-R(W)
    or CD-ROM.  The player will only playback CD audio tracks
    from mixed CD formats.
