Surround: Select this setting when using equipment
with a Dolby Surround Pro Logic decoder. In
this setting the 5.1 audio channels (Dolby
Digital, MPEG-2) are downmixed to a
Surround-compatible 2-channel output.
3D Sound: In a set-up without rear speakers (analogue
stereo output), this option remixes the six
channels of digital surround (Dolby Digital,
MPEG-2) into a two speaker output, while
retaining all of the original audio information.
The result is the listening sensation of being
surrounded by multiple speakers.

Adapt disc format
This option is only available when a DVD+RW or
DVD+R disc recorded on a different brand of recorder
is loaded. You can adapt the menu to your own
recorder.
A DVD+RW video disc that has been recorded on a
different type or brand of recorder can be played, but
may not provide all features commonly available to
DVD+RW discs, such as the on-screen disc bar, the disc
settings menu, the title settings menu, and editing. If the
disc is not write-protected, the disc format can be
adapted to the own recorder, after which these
functions are available.
Status box
The status box displays the current status of the
recorder and the disc type loaded (See 'Operation' -
'On-screen display information'). You can switch it On
or Off.
Off = always Off.
On = displayed together with the system menu bar or
displayed temporarily (disappears after time-out)
when changing the playback or record status.
Factory setting is 'On'.
Auto resume
The Auto resume setting only applies to pre-recorded
DVD-video and Video CD discs only - not only to the
disc in the recorder but also to the last twenty discs you
have played.
If Autoresume is set to 'On', playback will start from
the point where it was stopped the last time the disc
was played.
When Autoresume is set to 'Off', the recorder will
start playing from the beginning of a disc. In this case you
can still resume when appears on screen by
pressing 2 PLAY. Factory setting is 'On'.
Low Power Standby
If Low Power Standby is 'On', the recorder will consume
minimum power in standby mode.
Factory setting is 'Off'.

When the recorder is in low power standby mode:
- the output of the equipment connected to EXT 2 will not
be passed through to the TV set on EXT 1,
- the Display will be Off,
- the Standby indicator on the recorder will still light up in
standby mode.
