mode, which passes the digital audio to
the CVR700’s processor so that low-fre-
quency portions of the audio may be
steered to the appropriate speakers
depending on the capabilities of your
specific speakers. If you are using the
JBL Cinema V
ision speaker system,
you may leave the DVD-Audio disc
audio mode at the default
BASS
MANAGEMENT
setting. If you are
using other speakers, you should select
DIRECT, and make sure to configure
your speakers using the
SPEAKERS
submenu as described on page 48.
Figure 15
The available audio modes for DVD -
Video, audio CD, Video CD and com-
pressed audio discs are reflected in
Figure 16. Note, however, that the
options shown each encompass a suite of
surround modes. Although a more com-
plete explanation of the available sur-
round modes may be found on page 62,
the
DOLBY surround mode submenu
serves as a good example (Figure 17).
Note that some modes may not be avail-
able, depending on how you set your
system configuration in the
SYSTEM
submenu above (Figure 7). For example,
the
DIGITAL EX, PL IIx
MOVIE
7.1
and PL
IIx
MUSIC 7.1
modes are only available
for 7.1-channel systems. In addition, the
DIGITAL 5.1 and DIGITAL
EX
modes are only available when
source
materials that are encoded in the Dolby
Digital 5.1 or Dolby Digital EX format are
actually playing.
Figure 16
Figure 17
Although you are encouraged to experi
-
ment with the various audio surround
modes as you become more familiar with
your system, at this time it is recommended
that you select Logic 7 Cinema (Movie)
for DVD-
Video and VCD discs, and for
video sources such as cable television,
and Logic 7 Music for audio CDs, MP3s,
WMAs, the AM/FM tuner and other
audio-only sources to complete the setup
process. Select the 7.1 version if your
system is in 7.1-channel operation, or the
5.1 version if you are using 5.1-channel
operation.
Note that the audio mode setup for
DVD-Video discs is slightly different
than for the other disc types. With the
SOURCES menu (Figure 10) on
screen, instead of scrolling to the
AUDIO MODE line as for the other
disc types, continue scrolling until the
cursor is next to the DVD-V line
and select it. The
DVD VIDEO sub-
menu (Figure 18) will appear. Although
audio mode selection is similar to the
other disc types, the sub mode (e.g.,
Music 7.1 for Logic 7) is displayed
separately on the
TYPE line.
Figure 18
The DVD
VIDEO
submenu (Fig. 18)
also enables you to adjust the Night
Mode setting. The Night Mode setting
may be accessed directly from the
SOURCES menu (Figure 12) for other
source inputs. The Night mode is a fea-
ture of Dolby Digital that preserves the
dynamic range and full intelligibility of a
movie soundtrack while reducing the
peak level. This prevents abruptly loud
transitions from disturbing others, with
-
out reducing the sonic impact of a digital
source. The Night mode is only available
when specially encoded Dolby Digital
signals are played, which are only found
on DVD-Video (or DVD-Audio) discs. To
adjust the Night mode setting, make
certain that the
cursor is on the
NIGHT line. Next, press the /
Navigation Controls q to choose
between the following settings, as they
appear in the
Lower Display Line E:
OFF: When OFF is highlighted, the
Night mode will not function.
MEDIUM COMPRESSION: A
mild compression will be applied, when
MEDIUM COMPRESSION is
highlighted.
MAXIMUM COMPRESSION: When
MAXIMUM COMPRESSION
is
highlighted, a more severe compression
algorithm will be applied.
We recommend that you select the
MEDIUM setting as a starting point
and change to the
MAXIMUM
setting
later, if desired. The Night mode may also
be adjusted directly any time a Dolby
Digital source is playing by pressing the
Night Mode Button Z . When the
button is pressed,
D-RANGE will
appear in the lower third of the video
screen and in the
Lower Display Line
E. Press the ⁄¤ Navigation
Controls
q within 3 seconds to select
the desired setting.
Figure 18a
No additional adjustments are available
for the internal DVD/CD changer
, as the
SOURCE A.R. line of Figure 10 is
automatically set to
16:9 and may not
be adjusted.
However
, the video input and aspect ratio
(video screen) for external sources may
be adjusted. Scroll to the
VIDEO
INPUT
line to select a composite
video, S-video, or for the CABLE/SAT,
DIGITAL RECORDER and GAME/CAMERA
sources only
, a component video input for
each external source. In addition, scroll to
the
SOURCE A.R. line to specify
whether the source uses a 16:9 or 4:3
aspect ratio, or select auto detection.
The
SOURCES menu also
contains a
RESET TO FACTORY

line that allows you to
