I N S T A L L A T I O N Setting Up the Player - Initial Setup Use the Setup Menu System In many places of this guide, the DVD player’s Setup Menu needs to be adjusted to match your specific audio/video configuration. When asking you to make menu adjustments, we will use the following terminology to indicate the location of the desired function: Setup Menu Name > Menu Item > Submenu Item (or Selection) Setup Menu Name is the actual name of the uppermost setup menu level.

I N S T A L L A T I O N 5. The selected output resolution will be briefly displayed on the upper left corner of the TV screen as well as on the DVD player’s front panel display. 6.

I N S T A L L A T I O N To get the best possible audio via HDMI, you may need to set the following options on the DVD player’s setup menu, depending on your HDMI-capable receiver configuration: • If your receiver supports HDMI v1.1 Multi-Channel PCM audio, most likely it also support DTS and/or Dolby Digital decoding and has surround speakers.

A receiver that supports HDMI v1.1 is required in order to play multi-channel audio for all formats, including DVD-Video/Audio and SACD (SACD DSD audio converted to multichannel PCM). A receiver that supports HDMI v1.
