System Setup

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.
Figure 5 – 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) set-
ting, 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 frequen-
cies steered to each channel match the fre-
quency-response capabilities of the speakers.
I The default settings are Small (only fre-
quencies of 200Hz and higher are passed)
for all of the main speakers, and the sub-
woofer is on.
I 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.
I Change the left and right speaker setting
to Small when using a speaker system con-
sisting 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.
22 SYSTEM SETUP
• DVD Bass Management Stereo/LtRt: Use
this setting to output a 2-channel signal with-
out 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 adjust-
ments, or Cancel to return to the Audio Setup
Menu without making any changes.
Digital Audio Out Format: If your system
includes 5.1 digital audio surround decoding
(Dolby Digital and/or DTS), select Compressed as
the digital output. In that case all audio signals
will be output with their original format. If your
system only includes stereo and/or Dolby Pro
Logic, select Uncompressed. Then all audio sig-
nals will be output in PCM format only (DTS will
output no signal).
HDMI Audio Out: This setting determines the
format of the audio output via the HDMI Output.
It is dependent upon the capabilities of your
receiver or video display (if the DMC 1000 is
connected directly to a display). We recommend
that you leave it at the Auto setting, in which
case the DMC 1000 will communicate with the
device it's connected to and automatically select
a setting that is compatible with that device.
• Auto: This is the default setting, and it is
recommended that you leave the HDMI Audio
Out line at this setting. The DMC 1000 will
automatically select the correct setting, based
on the capabilities of your receiver or video dis-
play.
• Uncompressed: At this setting, all digital
audio is decoded and output as PCM streams.
For example, a DVD with a Dolby Digital sound-
track will be decoded, and 5.1 PCM streams
(one per channel) will be output through the
HDMI Output for playback by your receiver.
• Compressed: This setting may be used with
receivers that are capable of decoding digital
multichannel formats from the HDMI stream.
• Off: Use this setting if your receiver is not
capable of processing the audio portion of the
HDMI stream and you have made a separate
digital audio connection from the DMC 1000 to
the receiver. No audio will be passed to 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.

Video Setup

The Video Setting Submenu contains the
following settings. Follow the explanations in the
Instruction Line on the bottom of your screen to
change the settings.
These settings are usually set automatically by
the DMC 1000, depending on which video out-
put is in use. See Figure 6.
Figure 6 – 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 simul-
taneously. Example: The HDMI Output is connect-
ed to a display in the main listening room and
the Composite Video Output is being distributed
to a multizone system.
