MSB Technology DVD Audio Player - Manual (Page 35)

35
You only need to make this setting if you connected this player to your amplifier using the 5.1 channel line level analog outputs. This is
not recommended. These settings do not affect any digital audio output. When set to Fix, the level of each of the 5.1 channel analog
outputs is fixed. Choose Variable if you want to adjust the relative levels to balance the surround sound better for your listening room. You
can set the individual channel levels between –6dB and +6dB in 0.5 dB increments using the test tone output as a guide to set the correct
levels. Adjust the levels until the output level from all channels sounds the same from your usual listening position. Note that Audio
Output Mode must be set to 5.1 Channel in order to use the test tone.
Automatic: Select Auto to start the test tone output. As the test tone plays through each speaker in turn, it is highlighted on screen. Use
the joystick (up/down) to adjust the channel output level of the current speaker. Move the joystick left to exit the test tone sequence, or
ENTER to save the settings and exit the channel level setting screen.
For normal operations, use the trim settings of the 8 channel volume control. See page # 18.
IEEE1394 Setup
Audio Out (Default setting: On)
You only need to make this setting if you connected this player to other equipment using the IEEE1394 interface. Change this setting to
Off if the IEEE1394 interface is still connected but you need to use one of the other outputs. Changing this setting to Off does not affect
IEEE1394 thru data (ie., if this player is between two other IEEE1394 components, it will still pass data between them). Set back to On
(IEEE1394-ready) to be able to use the IEEE1394 interface.
Connections Setup
You only need to make this setting if you connected this player to other equipment using the IEEE1394 interface. This screen shows the
equipment connected using the IEEE1394 interface. Components which are able to receive IEEE1394 Audio are shown in black (an
IEEE1394 receiver, for example); those which can’t (a DV camcorder, for example) are shown in gray. If the player can’t display the name of
a component, ‘****’ is shown; if the name can’t be determined, Unknown is displayed. Select the component that you want to set up the
audio output formats for. This screen shows the output settings for Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio. Depending on the other
component, these may be configured automatically. If this player can’t determine the appropriate settings, the defaults are Dolby Digital,
DTS and PCM. If you need to change the settings, press (right arrow) (cursor right) and make the new setting.
Auto Select Play (Default setting: Off)
You only need to make this setting if you connected this player to other equipment using the IEEE1394 interface. Using this setting you
can specify up to five receivers to automatically switch input function to this player when you start playback of a disc. Highlight a receiver
from the list and press ENTER. The most recently selected component is marked with an orange box (square box). The IEEE1394 output
when playing Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG discs will be as set for this component (see also Connections Setup above).
Select Off to reset all the settings. When the IEEE1394 connections are changed, an update screen appears. Press ENTER to return to the
menu screen. Whether a receiver from the list has been selected or not, this player will start playback when you change the input function
of the receiver to this player. Note that some AV receivers may not be compatible with this feature.
Additional Information
Handling discs
When handling discs of any type, take care not to leave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the disc surface. Hold the disc by its edge or by
the center hole and edge. Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback performance. Take care also not to scratch the label side of the disc.
Although not as fragile as the recorded side, scratches can still result in a disc becoming unusable. Should a disc become marked with
fingerprints, dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center to the outside edge. Wipe lightly from the center
of the disc using straight strokes. Don’t wipe the disc surface using circular strokes. If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a
commercially available CD/DVD cleaning kit to clean a disc more thoroughly. Never use benzine, thinner or other cleaning agents, including
products designed for cleaning vinyl records.
Storing discs
Although CDs and DVD discs are more durable than vinyl records, you should still take care to handle and store discs correctly. When
you’re not using a disc, return it to its case and store upright. Avoid leaving discs in excessively cold, humid, or hot environments
(including under direct sunlight). Don‘t glue paper or put stickers onto the disc, or use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-tipped writing
instrument. These could all damage the disc. For more detailed care information see the instructions that come with discs. Do not load more
than one disc into the player at a time.
