7.   Noise Reduction: To select whether the player shall apply 

video noise reduction processing. Noise reduction levels can 

be set between 0 and 8. The default is level 0, which turns 

off noise reduction. When set to a smaller positive level, the 

player adjusts the picture quality by reducing the “mosquito 

noise” (artifacts around the outlines of objects). When set to 

a high level between 6 and 8, the player also uses detail and 

edge enhancement controls to reduce “block noise” (mosaic-

like patterns caused by video compression) and “film grain 

noise” (natural variation of picture intensity caused by film 

grain). Excessive noise reduction may cause a loss of details. 

We recommend using the noise reduction function only when 

you encounter poorly encoded or compressed video that has 

apparent noise artifacts.

8.   Y/C Delay: To adjust the time difference between the 

Luminance (Y) and Chrominance (Pb/Pr or Cb/Cr) channels of 

the video signal. When there is a significant lag between the 

channels, the image will look “smeared” because the color 

component is not lining up properly to the black and white 

luminance component. Adjust the Y/C delay setting only when 

the TV or projector has a Y/C delay problem. For a display 

device that normally does not have Y/C alignment problems, 

keep the Y/C delay setting at its default level of 0. The Y/C 

delay setting applies to the HDMI output only.

9.   Border Level: To set the brightness level of the border area 

when borders are inserted by the player to maintain correct 

aspect ratio. The default level is 0, which corresponds to 

total black. If you set it to a positive level, the bars gradually 

become lighter grey instead of black. This setting may be 

useful for users with Plasma or CRT TVs that are sensitive to 

“burn-in”. A grey border setting allows the phosphor in the 

bar area to be moderately used, and can alleviate the burn-in 

problem. The Border Level setting only applies to the HDMI 

output, and only affects borders inserted by the player. If 

the borders are encoded in the original video, the border 

brightness level will not be affected by this setting.

The “Audio Format Setup” section of the Setup Menu system 

allows you to configure preferences for audio output formats.  

The menu items in this section are:

1.   Secondary Audio: To set the Secondary Audio Program 

mixing option. Some Blu-ray Discs contain a secondary audio 

and video program, such as the director’s commentary. Some 

Blu-ray Discs have a sound effect when you make menu 

choices. This Setup Menu item allows you to decide whether 

to mix the Secondary Audio Program and menu clicking sound 

into the primary audio. The options are:

 

•   On – The Secondary Audio Program and menu clicking 

sound are mixed into the primary audio. Usually this will 

cause the primary audio volume to be slightly reduced. 

High resolution primary audio will be converted to a 

normal resolution in order to mix with the secondary 

audio.

 

•   Off – The Secondary Audio Program and menu clicking 

sound are not mixed into the primary audio and you 

cannot hear the secondary audio or menu clicking sound. 

This setting preserves the highest possible audio quality for 

the primary audio.
