REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS

Dimmer: Some people find the front-panel displays distracting,

especially while watching a movie in a darkened room. Each press of

this button cycles through the Full Brightness, Half Brightness and Off

settings. The Power Indicator will always remain lit to remind you that

the DVD 38 is turned on.

NOTE: Although you may enter commands and operate

the DVD 38 normally even with the front-panel display fully

dimmed, the display will not wake when a command is entered.

To view the display messages, press the Dimmer Button to

change the brightness setting.

Scan Type: Each press of this button toggles between the Progressive-

and Interlaced Scan settings of the Component Video Outputs. It has

no effect on the Composite, S-Video or HDMI Outputs. The button also

has no effect while the SYSTEM SETUP menu is on-screen. Press the

Clear or Setup Button to clear the on-screen displays. Use this button

when your video display is not capable of handling progressive-scan

component video signals, and you have inadvertently selected the

progressive scan setting in the VIDEO SETUP menu.

Audio Mode: This button adjusts the Bass Management setting,

which is also found in the AUDIO SETUP menu. Stop playback of the

current disc in order to use this selector.

There are three available settings: Bypass (the default), On and Stereo.

The first press displays the current setting, and each additional press

cycles through the three settings.

Bypass: The analog audio information is passed through the Analog

Audio Outputs as is, without applying any bass management adjustments.

This mode is used with receivers and processors that are capable of

applying bass management settings (speaker size, output levels and

delay times) to their 6-channel analog inputs.

On: This setting is used with receivers and processors that pass the

audio signals from their 6-channel analog inputs directly to the outputs

without applying any bass management settings. With Bass Management

on, use the AUDIO ADJUSTMENTS submenu to set the DVD 38’s bass

management settings.

Stereo: This mode is used when a 2-channel downmix of a multichannel

audio signal is desired. For example, if you are playing a DVD-Audio

disc, in which case the multichannel presentation is only available

through the Analog Audio Outputs, and you would like to distribute the

program to a multiroom system, select the Stereo mode.

NOTE: The 2-channel downmix (Stereo mode) and the 5.1-

channel presentation of multichannel audio discs (Bypass or

Bass Management On modes) are not available simultaneously.

With Bass Management on, only the front left and right channel

information will be available at both the 2-channel and 6-channel

left and right Analog Audio Outputs. No surround or center

channel information will be present in the signal output at the

2-channel Analog Audio Outputs. In Stereo mode, the down-

mixed 2-channel signal will be available at both the 2-channel

and 6-channel left and right Analog Audio Outputs, while none

of the remaining 6-channel outputs will have any information.

Use the Audio Mode Selector to conveniently select from the

three available settings without having to enter the on-screen

menu system.

HD Mode: Each time the DVD 38 is turned on while connected via

HDMI to a video display or other device, the DVD 38 and the other

device exchange information about the other device’s video resolution

capabilities. The DVD 38 sets the resolution of the HDMI Output to

match the video display. If the original program materials were recorded

at a much lower resolution, you may wish to change the video output

resolution to improve the picture quality. Press this button to select from

the resolution settings available with your display. You will not be able to

select a resolution greater than your display’s capabilities.

This button performs the same function as the HDMI Settings line in the

VIDEO SETUP menu. The HDMI Mode setting will not be displayed on

the front panel, which indicates the resolution of the source disc’s video

signal. The HDMI Mode setting may be viewed by accessing the VIDEO

SETUP menu as described in the Initial Setup section.
