The following setup guidelines are recommended for the DVD-2900 player to work to its fullest potential in
the playback of DVD-Audio and Super AudioCD material as well as DVD-Video material (if you are using the
internal DD and dts decoders). These settings do not affect signals going to the digital outputs.
Setup of the players is relatively straight forward, except for DVD-Audio and SACD playback, where you
must setup the Bass Management, adjust Delay Time (only functions for DVD-A, DD and dts) and calibrate
Channel levels. You only need to do the Audio Setup once, as it is a global setup for all the formats.
•
ACCESSING THE 'SETUP' FUNCTION OF THE PLAYER, TOGGLE TO THE 'AUDIO SETUP'
SCREEN (PAGE 4 OF 6). TOGGLE DOWN TO 'AUDIO CHANNEL' AND HIGHLIGHT 'MULTI
CHANNEL', PRESS 'ENTER'.
•
You will be shown a screen display labeled 'Speaker Configuration', where you will configure
the unit to your speakers. Select 'Large', 'Small' or 'None' depending on your particular
speaker configuration. Selecting 'Small' engages the 80Hz hi/low pass crossover. Note that
selecting 'Large' for the Front Channels will allow you to select 'Large for the other speakers in
your system. We recommend setting all speakers to 'Small' unless you are using speakers
that have built-in subwoofers, and they are connected to your receiver/amplifier by only
speaker wire.
•
ALSO ON THIS SCREEN, YOU WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO ADJUST A SPECIAL 'FILTER'
FEATURE WHICH IS FOR DISCS FROM CHESKY AND OTHERS RECORDED IN 6.0, NOT 5.1.
THE FACTORY DEFAULT SETTING IS 'ON'.
•
Toggle 'Off' depending on the apparent lack of bass response when playing certain discs, and
also if you have no Analog External Subwoofer in/output control on your Receiver/Pre-pro.
This will increase the SW output 5dB for DVDs and 15dB for SACDs.
•
NEXT, USE THE 'RETURN' KEY TO GET BACK TO THE 'SPEAKER CONFIGURATION' MENU.
TOGGLE PAST 'CHANNEL LEVEL' (WE WILL COME BACK TO THIS IN A BIT), DOWN TO
'DELAY TIME' AND PRESS 'ENTER'.
•
You are now shown a screen where you are to tell the DVD-2900 how far away you are (in
your favorite listening position) from each speaker in your system. We recommend using a
tape measure for this, and round up to the next number in whole feet, for example if you are
14' ¾" away, then tell the 2900 for that speaker 15 feet. Once you have done all the speakers
in your system, press the 'Return' key.
•
NOW TOGGLE TO THE 'CHANNEL LEVEL' BUTTON, AND PRESS 'ENTER'
•
For these adjustments we highly recommend you use an SPL (Sound Pressure Level) meter,
Radio Shack makes a excellent analog one for about $35. This exercise is similar to setting
up the surround processor, with a twist. Since you are using test tones generated inside the
