ENGLISH
System Setup
Levels 7 to 2: DVDs for general audiences/
children can be played. Level 1: DVDs for children
can be played; DVDs for adults/general audiences
are prohibited. Follow the explanations on the
screen to set a new password.
Disc Recognition: When set to on, the next
time a disc is inserted, the HS will show a “Disc
Recognized” message, with the question if you
would like to play the disc from the beginning or
would like to resume from where you last
stopped the disc. The memory can contain
information of the last 100 discs played.
PBC Support: Activates PBC (Play Back Control)
Support for VCD discs.
Screen Saver: Activates a Screen Saver to
prevent image “burn” in a video display device.
If you connect the HS Controller to a plasma
screen or video projector, we recommend you
activate the screen saver at all times.
Show Angle Icon: Determines whether the
Angle Icon will appear on the screen when there
are different angles available on a DVD disc.
Audio Settings
The Audio Setting Submenu contains the
following settings. Follow the explanations in the
Upper Menu Line on the bottom of your screen
to change the settings.
Preferred Audio Language: Defines your
preferred audio language. Every time a disc is
played that contains this audio language, it will
be activated automatically. If you do not find
your preferred language in the list of options, you
can select your preferred language by selecting
OTHER, and than typing a 4-digit code found in
the code list on page 27.
Dynamic Range: This setting allows you to take
advantage of the programming present on some
Dolby Digital recordings to reduce the volume of
louder passages while maintaining intelligibility
of quieter passages. This means that you may
listen to programs at a level that allows the full
impact of a soundtrack to be heard at a volume
that is lower than you might otherwise use to
avoid disturbing others. The HS 150 accomplishes
this by compressing the audio to a greater or
lesser degree, depending on which setting you
choose. Three options are available:
•
MINIMUM does not make any changes to
the original playback, and should be used
when the volume setting in the listening room
may be as loud as you desire.
•
MEDIUM applies a moderate amount of
compression so that louder passages are a
little bit quieter.
•
MAXIMUM applies more compression so that
louder passages are much softer.
Feel free to experiment with the settings at any
time.
Tone Control: Activates or De-acti va tes the
Bass and Treble settings. Once either the Bass or
Treble Settings are changed, the Tone Control
automati cally switches to ON.
Bass Level: Sets the level of low frequencies.
Treble Level: Sets the level of high frequencies.
DVD Sound Mode: Sets the audio format of
the DVD-disc playing (for other sources, see
Surround Mode in each respective chapter). Once
set to stereo, every surround format on a DVD
will be converted to a pure stereo signal. Once
set to any of the Dolby Virtual Speaker modes, all
stereo signals on a DVD are forced any of the
Dolby Virtual Speaker modes into virtual surround
for surround playback with only two
loudspeakers.
Audio Adjustment
The Audio Adjustment Submenu contains the
access to the output level adjustment settings of
the HS 150. Follow the explanations in the Upper
Menu Line on the bottom of your screen to make
adjustments.
Output level adjustment
Output level adjustment is a key part of the
configuration process for any surround sound
pro duct.
The default settings of the DVD player is 0 dB for
all channels. In case you feel adjustments are
necessary in your setup, we advise you to make
the adjustments using the internal test tone
generator.
Once the cursor is moved to any of the speaker
level icons, the test noise will be heard from the
corresponding speaker. If this is not the case
please check whether the loudspeaker is
connected to the correct loudspeaker output on
the rear panel. The speaker level can be adjusted
by pressing ENTER and selecting an appropriate
level indicated in the Lower Menu Line. The test
noise will stop as soon as the cursor is moved
away from any speaker level icon.
