DVD-2900, and not the processor, it is crucial that you first have your Receiver/Pre-pro
calibrated. This is because the better processors automatically raise their volume controls
when doing test tone calibration, and once you have completed the processor's calibration
you now have a test tone reference point for the DVD-2900.
•
Using the display, or indicator on the volume control, mark down the reference point volume of
your processor when it is outputting its internal test tones, and set the volume to that point
before calibrating the DVD-2900.
•
We suggest setting the 'Test Tone' to manual as this setting allows you to control the tempo of
calibration, not the player. It is also easier on the nerves. Go through each channel, so they
calibrate to, or as close to, 75dB on the meter. The test tone outputs on the 2900 may not be
enough to get to true 75dB (depending on the External Inputs output settings – see below), so
get close, but make sure all the channels measure to the same point.
•
Many receivers/pre-pros have individual channel input and/or output level controls on
their External Inputs, these may need to be adjusted to obtain proper calibration.
Please check out the product's Owners Manual for assistance. All DENON AVRs have
the output level controls, while the 28/38/5803 models also have a Subwoofer Input
Level control adjustment.
•
ONCE COMPLETED, PRESS THE 'RETURN' KEY TWICE. YOU SHOULD BE BACK TO THE
'AUDIO SETUP' MENU. TOGGLE DOWN TO 'SUPER AUDIOCD', USE THE 'RIGHT ARROW'
KEY TO HIGHLIGHT 'MULTI-CHANNEL' BUTTON AND PRESS 'ENTER'. THIS WILL SET THE
DEFAULT OF THE DVD-2900 TO LOOK FOR MULTI-CHANNEL TRACKS ON SACDS FIRST (IF
PRESENT ON THE DISC), IF NONE IS AVAILABLE THE 2900 WILL GO TO THE STEREO
SACD TRACK. PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IS A DEFAULT SETTING IN THE SETUP OF THE
PLAYER, YOU CAN OVERRIDE THIS WIT H THE MANUAL CONTROL DESCRIBED BELOW.
•
You have the choice of accessing any soundtrack (Multi/2Ch/PCM or CD) on a SACD disc by
using the 'Super Audio CD Setup' button on the front panel of the player. This means you do
not have to have your Display device to switch soundtracks on SACDs.
•
If the disc is a Multi-Channel Hybrid, upon insertion the DVD-2900 will grab the Multi-Channel
version first and you can begin playback. If you would like to switch between the different
versions, just depress the button, watch the front panel display to determine which version you
have selected.
•
Please keep in mind that with each changing of soundtrack, the player will stop playing the
current version, re-load and cue to the soundtrack you selected by the 'Setup' button. Then
press 'Play' and the track will begin. Also if you press the 'Setup' button many times quickly, it
is possible to cause the player to be confused, read 'Locked'. If this should occur, power
down, then power up the DVD-2900, and everything should be fine.
•
THERE IS ALSO A 'BASS ENHANCER' CONTROL ON THE 'AUDIO SETUP' PAGE. TURNING
'ON' WILL PROVIDE FOR SUBWOOFER OUTPUT WHEN LISTENING TO 2 CHANNEL AUDIO.
THIS SETTING ONLY EFFECTS THE ANALOG OUTPUTS.
