Still Mode

The Still Mode feature lets you

set the default method of

freezing a single image on the

screen during DVD playback.

How it Works

Because each frame of a

standard NTSC video image is

made up of two fields (odd

and even scan lines), there are

two ways to freeze an image

during DVD playback:

• Frame -Freezes both the

odd and even scan lines

that make up a single

frame. Excellent for graphic

detail, but may cause jitter

in high motion scenes.

•Field -Doubles either the

odd or the even scan lines.

Preventsgitter, but at the

sacrifice of fine detail.

Speaker Setup Overview

The Speaker Setup menus

allow you to customize the

D VD- VCR for your surround

sound setup, including speaker

sizes, channel delays and

channel levels. For proper

audio performance, you must

set up the system to match

your speaker configuration.

Speaker Placement

Position your speakers as shown in the diagram. The six

speakers should surround your primary listening area.

LF/RF (Left Front/Right Front) - Usually the largest

speakers in the room. Used for primary action.

• C (Center) - Often used for dialog.

•SUB (Subwoofer) - For low frequency effects. Low

frequencies are non-directional, so this speaker can

be placed nearly anywhere in the vicinity of your

listening area.

LR/RR (Left Rear/Right Rear Speakers) - Also called

Surround Speakers, used for ambient noise and

special effects.

Speaker Size

For optimal audio performance, specify the relative size

of your Front, Center, and Rear Speakers. If you do not

connect Center or Rear speakers, make sure to set these

to "None." For Subwoofer, simply select "Yes" or "No."

Front Speakers - Select Large or Small; see page 45.

• Center Speaker - Select Large, Small or None; see

page 46.

Rear Speakers - Select Small, Large, None; see page

47.

•Subwoofer - Select Yes or No; see page 45.

Speaker Placement Diagram

42 DVD-VCR USER'S GUIDE

Setting Levels

Level is a fancy term for volume. You can change the

level of your Center Speaker, Rear Speakers, and

Subwoofer relative to your Front Speakers in 1db

(decibel) increments from 0 to -6.

Subwoofer - Select from 0 to -6dB; see page 45.

Center Speaker - Select from 0 to -6dB; see page 46.

Right/Left Rear Speakers - Select from 0 to -6dB; see

page 47.

Channel Delays

Ideally all of your speakers will be the same distance

from your primary listening area, If not, you can set

Channel Delays for your center and surround speakers

so all audio signals arrive at the same time, Assume 1

mS (millisecond) of delay for every 1 foot of distance

relative to your front speakers,

Center Speaker - Select 0-5mS; see page 46.

Rear Speakers - Select 0-15mS; see page 47.

NOTE: See sidebar to calculate delays.

Speaker Test

The Speaker -lest feature allows you to check your

levels using a white noise signal as a neutral reference;

see page 48.
