PCM Downsampling:
If you don’t have a surround sound receiver connected
to the Blu-ray Disc™ player
, you should
leave the PCM
downsampling to 48 kHz
, and proceed to the next setup
menu item. This is true regardless of whether the audio
is connected to the TV with HDMI or the analog stereo
outputs.
If you have a surround sound receiver connected to the
Blu-ray Disc™ player, and you have connected to the
surround receiver via the Blu-ray Disc™ player’s analog
multichannel audio outputs
, this setting has no effect on
the audio going to the analog outputs of the player. Leave
the PCM downsampling to 48 kHz, and proceed to the next
setup menu item.
If you have a surround sound receiver connected to the
Blu-ray Disc™ player, and you have connected to the
surround receiver via the Blu-ray Disc™ player’s HDMI
output
, this setting has no effect on the audio going to the
HDMI output of the player.
Leave the PCM downsampling
to 48 kHz
, and proceed to the next setup menu item.
If you have a surround sound receiver connected to
the Blu-ray Disc™ player via optical cable
, set this menu
item to the maximum PCM sampling rate that your surround
receiver can accept (48 kHz or 96 kHz).
If in doubt, consult
your surround receiver’s manual or set to 48 kHz.
NOTE:
Incorrectly setting the digital audio output’s PCM
sampling rate too high may result in unpredictable audio
playback.
Digital Output:
•
PCM
Stereo
— Sets the output to PCM Stereo if you
have not an audio receiver connected to your
Blu-ray
Disc™
player or the audio receiver connected to Blu-ray
disc player is not a 5.1/7.1 channel receiver.
•
Bitstream HD
— Lets your player send Dolby TrueHD
or DTS-HD MA bitstreams over HDMI (if your player is
connected to a compatible HDMI audio receiver). If your
player is not connected to a compatible HDMI receiver
(for example, your player is connected directly to the TV
or your player is connected to an audio receiver using an
optical cable), a compatible audio signal is automatically
sent over the HDMI and optical connections. With this
setting, Blu-ray audio is limited to the soundtrack for the
main movie (no PIP audio).
•
Bitstream Legacy
— Sends a DTS or Dolby Digital
bitstream from the disc over the HDMI and optical
connections. Blu-ray audio is limited to the soundtrack
for the main movie (no PIP audio).
•
Bitstream Mixed
— Sends a mixed (PIP audio and movie
audio) DTS audio stream over the HDMI and optical
connections. This mode is primarily intended for use when
you want to hear both PIP audio and the movie audio.
•
PCM
5.1
— Sends a PCM audio signal of up to 5.1
channels over the HDMI connection and up to 2 channels
over the optical connection.
•
PCM
7.1
— Sends a PCM audio signal of up to 7.1
channels over the HDMI connection and up to 2 channels
over the optical connection.
Dynamic Range Control:
Dynamic Range Control
means that you can allow the
Blu-ray Disc™ player to make the loud parts of a movie’s
audio track quieter than they would be in the theatre, without
making the dialog of the actors any quieter.
This would be useful, for instance, when you want to watch
a movie in the evening when others might be sleeping.
NOTES:
This setup menu item
has no effect
unless:
• The device playing the disc’s audio (TV or surround audio
receiver) is connected to the Blu-ray Disc™ player’s
analog audio outputs; OR
• you have selected “Bitstream Mixed” in the Blu-ray Disc™
player’s audio setup menu.
Notes:
Selecting a resolution the TV does not support could
•
result in an unstable picture or loss of the picture. See
the documentation that came with the TV to fi nd the
resolutions the TV supports.
Only the HDMI output on your player supports 1080p
•
video output at any frame rate. If the TV is connected
to the component output, the video output is limited to
1080i or lower.
TV Aspect:
16:9 wide, 16:9 Pillarbox, 4:3 Pan and Scan
and
4:3 Letter
Box
are available for your choice.
Film Mode:
Movies are recorded on fi lm at a rate of 24 pictures (frames)
per second. Many of the movies on Blu-ray discs are placed
on the discs at this frame rate. If your TV supports 24 frames
per second, but you would prefer viewing the video at a
higher frame rate, you should turn off Film Mode.
Off
selects
a 60 frames/second output format.
Deep Color:
This option decides whether to turn off the Deep Color
(color depth) setting for video signals output from the HDMI
OUT jack.
Connecting the player and a TV that supports Deep
Color allows more accurate color reproduction than when
connecting it to a TV that does not support Deep Color. It is
recommended to set this option
Off
if the picture is unstable
or colors appear unnatural.
