DVD-2900 Audio Setup Tips

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 Audio CD material as well as DVD-Video material (if you are using the
internal Dolby Digital and dts decoders of the DVD-2900). These settings do not affect signals going to the
digital outputs.
DENON recommends using the Dolby Digital/dts decoders in your receiver/processor for DVD-Video material
by means of either a coaxial or optical digital connection from the DVD-2900. This allows you calibrate your
receiver/processor in a normal fashion, or as you would do for any DVD-Video player. Depending our your
particular receiver/processor you will then need to switch from a digital signal input from the DVD-2900
(DVD-V material) to the External Inputs for DVD-Audio and/or Super Audio CD to calibrate the DVD-2900's
decoders.
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. W e 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 – please note that in the
'Off position, all speakers are automatically set to Large with Subwoofer 'Yes'.
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'.

  • Page 2 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’...
