Audio setup menus

With the Audio setup menu selected, use the

and

arrows to move

to the desired sub-menu. Use the Navigation arrows (

) to

adjust the settings and press the Enter button to confirm your selection.

See below for the Audio Setup menu structure:

Speaker setup

Downmix

Stereo - When in Stereo mode any DD 5.1 or PLII 5.1 content will be

downmixed to Stereo and output from the Front Left and Right sockets

of the 5.1 output only.

Off - When Off, full 5.1 output will be available (depending on disc).

Note: The 540D V2 also features a separate set of permanent Stereo

Outputs that will always output true Stereo (for Stereo material) or

downmixed Stereo from 5.1 regardless of the above setting.

If Downmix is ‘On’, only the Front Speaker size and Sub On/Off can be

selected.

In the next series of menus for each speaker type, select from ‘Large’

and ‘Small’ for each speaker (‘Large’ and ‘Small’ are used to describe

each speaker in terms of bass response and do not necessarily reflect

the actual physical size of the speaker).

Large = Speakers with an extended low frequency response of

approximately 20-40Hz to 16-20kHz (floorstanders or high quality larger

stand-mounted speakers).

Small = Speakers with a less extended low frequency response of

approximately 80-100Hz to 16-20kHz (small stand-mounted, bookshelf

or satellite speakers).

Setting each speaker allows the 540D V2 to perform what is called Bass

Management and to direct low frequency bass from music and the Low

Frequency Effects channel of surround sound material away from

speakers not able to reproduce it and to the subwoofer channel instead.

Front, Centre and Rear Speakers

These settings allow selection of ‘Large’ or ‘Small’ speaker ‘size’ as

described above.

Note: Only the three configurations All speakers Large, Large Fronts /

Centre with Small Rears and All speakers Small are supported by the

540D V2.

Test Tone

With the unit in Stop mode, the disc drawer open and Downmix set to

‘Off’, select ‘On’ to carry out a test tone procedure. The 540D V2 will

then play ‘white-noise’ sound from each of the 5.1 outputs in turn. They

can be used to adjust the levels of your external amplifier/receiver or

speaker system so that each channel is at approximately the same level

for best surround-sound performance. Listen to each channel in turn as

the 540D V2 cycles through them and adjust the level on your

amplifier/receiver or speaker system so that each channel sounds the

same in terms of loudness (bear in mind smaller speakers and

subwoofers etc will sound different in terms of the tone of the sound but

the overall level sound be matched).

SPDIF (and TOSlink Optical) Output

Three options are available: Off, Raw Bitstream and PCM Stereo.

If PCM Stereo is selected the digital output will always be Digital PCM

Stereo (LPCM) for use with a DAC, recording to a MD or CD-R machine

etc.

If Raw bitstream is selected the output will either be PCM Stereo for

Stereo disc/soundtracks or a surround-sound bitstream from surround-

sound soundtracks for decoding by an external AV Receiver, see below:

* 48kHz or 96kHz depending on soundtrack bit depth and LPCM limit

set as below.

LPCM Out

Selects whether the SPDIF LPCM output from DVDs can be at 96kHz

maximum sample rate (if the disc supports it) or will be downsampled to

48kHz maximum. Some equipment can only support a 48kHz maximum

sample rate and hence it can be useful to set this maximum limit. CDs

are 16/44.1 so are unaffected.
