7. Dolby Digital Setup: To configure the Dolby Digital decoder, press the SELECT button to enter
the Dolby Digital Setup page and press the LEFT ARROW button to exit the Dolby Digital Setup
page.
A. Dual Mono: To choose the output for Dolby Digital discs encoded with two independent
audio channels, such as bilingual programs. The options are:
• Stereo – Stereo output
• L-Mono – Left channel output to both Left and Right speakers.
• R-Mono – Right channel output to both Left and Right speakers.
• Mix Mono – Left and Right channels mixed to both Left and Right speakers.
B. Dynamic: To set the Dynamic Range Compression (DRC). DRC can smooth out the sonic
peaks and valleys common with wide-range digital audio. Increasing DRC may make low
level audio more audible during low-level listening. Decreasing or turning off DRC restores
the sonic energy present in the original recording.
8. HDMI Audio: Turns the audio output from the HDMI port on or off.
A. Multi-Channel – Digital audio output via HDMI will be multi-channel PCM format (HDMI 1.1
audio). The Down-mix setting in the “Speaker Setup Page” will affect whether and how multi-
channel audio content will be down-mixed to stereo. When this option is selected,
compressed audio bit streams will decoded by the DVD player.
B. SPDIF – Digital audio output via HDMI will be the same as the SPDIF (digital coaxial/optical
audio) output. The SPDIF setting will affect whether 2-channel PCM or raw compressed bit
streams will be carried over via HDMI. When this option is selected and SPDIF is set to
“Raw”, the TV or HDMI A/V receiver must decode compressed audio formats. (Copyright
protection on some DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD discs may prevent audio output via
HDMI with this setting.)
C. Off – No digital audio output via HDMI.

1. Sharpness: To set the sharpness of video output. Sharpness level can be set with the following
options:
• Sharp – Enables edge enhancement which is an artificial and picture-degrading feature. We
recommend leaving this off.
• Soft – Softens edges by smoothing the image which may cause slight loss of details.
• Off (recommended) – Turns off edge enhancement completely.
