DP564 Multichannel Audio Decoder Menus
4-11
Karaoke
The DP564 can process karaoke information in a Dolby Digital bitstream. In a
karaoke bitstream, the standard Center, Left Surround, and Right Surround channels
are replaced with a music channel and two vocal channels. Karaoke processing may
only be applied to a karaoke bitstream.
The
Karaoke
menu includes
Karaoke Mode
and
Level/Pan
.
Karaoke Mode
can be set to
Unaware
,
Aware
, or
Capable
, representing the
different karaoke DVD systems available.
Level/Pan
settings are only active if the
mode is
Capable
.
In
Unaware
mode, the DP564 will not perform any karaoke-specific downmixing.
All channels are decoded according to the input and downmix settings.
Aware
detects a karaoke bitstream and automatically chooses appropriate karaoke
reproduction settings, depending on the number of vocal channels in the bitstream
and the output channel configuration.
Capable
activates the settings in the
Level/Pan
menu. Both the levels and
position of the music and vocals are controlled in this menu. No automatic
assignments are generated.
Level/Pan
Separate controls for two vocal channels and music are available for both Left/Right
panning and volume level.
Speaker Mutes
Enter the
Speaker Mutes
menu to turn off individual channel outputs. Select a
channel and press
Enter
to switch between
Active
and
Mute
for that channel.
Note: Speaker Mutes do not affect the Headphone output.
LFE Monitor Mode
LFE Mon Mode
allows you to select the LFE listening selection that best suits your
purposes. To emulate consumer products, use
Auto
, which automatically assigns the
correct LFE processing to the consumer mode in use.
On
enables the LFE channel in
all listening modes.
Off
mutes the LFE channel.
Note: The
LFE Mon Mode
setting is active only in Dolby Digital decoding.
