INITIAL SETUP

• Film: Choose this option for material that was originally shot on film,

even though you are viewing it on video via a DVD.

• Video: Choose this option for material that was shot directly to video,

such as concerts and sports programming.

Step Five – Audio Setup

Each setting applies to a certain type of audio output, but only for

Zone 1. The audio output to Zones 2, 3 and 4 is always full-range,

2-channel analog line level. See Figure 20.

Figure 20 – Audio Setup Menu

Speaker Setup: A dialog box appears, allowing you to program the

Speaker Size settings used with the Zone 1 (6-Channel) Analog Audio

Outputs. The settings are dependent on the DVD Bass Management

setting in the DVD Player Setup menu.

• DVD Bass Management Bypass: This is the default system setting,

and should be used when the receiver or processor is capable of

performing bass management. Configure the speaker settings on the

receiver. All main speakers default to the Large (full-range) setting,

and the subwoofer is on. These settings may not be changed.

• DVD Bass Management On: Use this setting if the receiver is not capable

of performing bass management, to ensure that the low frequencies steered

to each channel match the frequency-response capabilities of the speakers.

■

The default settings are Small (only frequencies of 200Hz and higher

are passed) for all of the main speakers, and the subwoofer is on.

■

With the left and right speakers set to Large, the center speaker

may be set to Small or None, but not Large. Change the Center and

Surround settings to None for stereo mode when listening to 2-channel

recordings. The subwoofer will remain on. Use this configuration

when you desire the added power of a separate subwoofer for

the low frequencies.

■

Change the left and right speaker setting to Small when using

a speaker system consisting of small satellites and a subwoofer.

The Center and Surround settings will automatically change to Small,

and the Subwoofer setting will remain on; neither setting may be

changed.

• DVD Bass Management Stereo/LtRt: Use this setting to output

a 2-channel signal without a separate low-frequency channel for

the subwoofer. The front left and right speakers default to the Large

(full-range) setting, with the center, surround and subwoofer speakers

all disabled. These settings may not be changed.

Select Save when you have finished your adjustments, or Cancel to return

to the Audio Setup Menu without making any changes.

Digital Audio Out Format: This setting applies to the Optical and Coaxial Digital

Audio Outputs only. If the receiver or processor is capable of decoding Dolby

Digital, DTS or other compressed digital bitstreams, select the Compressed

setting to output these bitstreams in their original format. Otherwise, select

Uncompressed to output all audio as 2-channel PCM bitstreams.

NOTE: When Uncompressed is selected, change the DVD Bass

Management setting in the DVD Player Setup menu to “Stereo.”

It is not possible to simultaneously output a 5.1-channel analog

signal and a digital PCM (2-channel) signal.

HDMI Audio Out: We recommend leaving this setting at the default Auto,

in which the DMC 1000 will communicate with the device connected to

the HDMI Output and automatically select a compatible audio output setting

based on the other device’s capabilities. The other settings are:

• Compressed: Passes the audio bitstream in its original format,

such as Dolby Digital or DTS.

• Uncompressed: Decodes the audio bitstream into up to 5.1 channels

of PCM audio.

• Off: Mutes audio via the HDMI Output.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

When the HDMI Output is active for audio,

the Optical and Coaxial Digital Audio Outputs are muted. If the

HDMI Output is being used for video only and the S/P-DIF outputs

are required for audio, turn the HDMI Audio Out setting Off.

Step Six – Video Setup

These settings are usually set automatically by the DMC 1000, depending

on which video output is in use. See Figure 21.

Figure 21 – Video Setup Menu

Video Output: When both the analog video outputs and the HDMI Output

are connected, select the desired video output. Both HDMI and the analog

video outputs are not available simultaneously. Example: The HDMI Output

is connected to a display in the main listening room and the Composite

Video Output is being distributed to a multizone system.

Output Resolution: Select the desired video output resolution. If you

select a resolution higher than the display’s capabilities, the screen will go

blank or be scrambled. If that happens, press the Video Mode Button on

the remote to cycle through the settings until a compatible setting is

selected. The video output resolution is indicated on the front panel.

Picture Mode: Select from the Normal, Vivid, Sport and Nature picture

settings to optimize viewing of various types of programs. This setting is

a matter of taste, and there is no incorrect setting.
