Cautions  
Ensure that all audio/video cables are properly connected before plugging in the power plug.  
The player is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall  
outlet, even if the player itself has been turned off.  
The acceptable power input range is AC ~ 100V-240V, 50/60Hz  
Before turning on the power of the player, please adjust the volume level of TVs, audio system  
speakers and amplifiers to the minimum. Adjust the volume as necessary only after normal  
playback has started to avoid damage to your hearing and equipments.  
Do not put the player near any high power loudspeakers so as to avoid any interference due to  
vibration or magnetic fields.  
Before moving the player, take out any discs. Otherwise the disc may be damaged.  
When moving the player from a cold place to a warm one, or vice versa, moisture may  
condense on the laser pickup unit inside the player. Should this occur, the player may not  
operate properly. In such a case please turn the power on for 1-2 hours (without disc) until the  
moisture evaporates.  
Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls only with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water or a  
mild detergent solution. Never use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such  
as alcohol or benzene for cleaning.

Method 1 – HDMI Connection Directly to TV  
If your TV has an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) input, you can use the included  
HDMI cable to connect the DVD player to the TV. This connection method delivers both video  
and audio in pure digital format via a single cable. The HDMI video output of the DVD player  
presents the highest possible resolutions and video quality.  
You may connect the composite video or S-Video cable to the TV for trouble-shooting purpose,  
just in case there is a problem with HDMI. However it is not recommended to use the  
composite video or S-Video as the primary method of video delivery to the TV, because using it  
will lose the advantage of video up-conversion and you will only get standard definition video.

Method 2 – DVI Connection to TV  
If your TV has a DVI input, you can purchase an HDMI-DVI adapter cable to connect the DVD  
player to the TV. This connection method delivers digital video to the TV without any signal  
degradation. The HDMI video output of the OPPO DVD player presents the highest possible  
resolutions and video quality.  
Please use the Red/White audio cables to connect the MIXED audio output of the DVD player  
to the TV. Make sure the audio cables are connected to the same input terminal group on the  
TV as the DVI input. Usually the input terminals are marked as “DVI Audio” or “PC Audio”. On  
some TVs you may need to use an RCA-3.5mm Mini-Jack adapter cable to connect the audio.  
You may connect the composite video or S-Video cable to the TV for trouble-shooting purpose,  
just in case there is a problem with DVI. However it is not recommended to use the composite  
video or S-Video as the primary method of video delivery to the TV, because using it will lose

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. With the OPPO DV-981HD there  
are exactly five (5) Setup Menu pages or sections, each represented by an icon on the top of the Setup Menu  
screen. They are: General Setup Page, Speaker Setup Page, Audio Setup Page, Video Setup Page, and  
Preference Page.  
Menu Item is the parameter to be adjusted which appears below the Setup Menu Name. It is the list of items  
on the left of the current Setup screen.  
Submenu Item (or the selection) is the actual numeric or descriptive element that represents the change  
being made to the selected parameter. It is the item located to the immediate right of its corresponding Menu  
Item.  
This diagram should give a good description of the various elements and their context. In this screen we  
could, for example, instruct you to set the Rear Speaker parameter to Small in the Speaker Setup Page. To  
indicate where we were, you would see the following: Speaker Setup Page > Rear Speaker > Small.  
To access the DVD player’s Setup Menu simply press the SETUP button on the remote control. Since some  
setup menu options can become inaccessible when the player is playing a disc, it is recommended that you  
operate the setup menu when playback is fully stopped or when there is no disc in the player.  
1. Press the SETUP button on the remote control, and the TV screen displays:

only be accessed when playback is completely stopped, or when there is no disc in the player.  
3. Press the up/down ARROW buttons to select the setup item to be changed, and press the  
SELECT button to change the setting.  
For example, in the Video Setup Page, you may use the up/down ARROW buttons to select  
the “Sharpness” setup item, and press the SELECT button to change the “Sharpness” setting.

playback or eject the disc before trying to change these setup items. If you still cannot

example, if the audio “Down-mix” mode is set to “Stereo”, the center and rear speaker size  
settings will be grayed-out. Setting the “Down-mix” mode to “5.1CH” will enable the center  
and rear speaker size settings.  
Determine Your Display Type  
Widescreen, or 16:9 TV  
Standard Definition, or 4:3 TV  
For best performance, your OPPO DVD player must be correctly configured for playback even before the first  
disc is inserted. This is done under General Setup Page > TV Display in the Setup Menu.

If you have a widescreen (16:9) display as pictured on the left, select one of these options:  
16:9 Wide – 16:9 (widescreen) sources will be displayed in their native aspect ratio, and 4:3  
sources will be stretched.  
16:9 Wide/Auto – 16:9 (widescreen) as well as 4:3 sources will be displayed in their native  
aspect ratio. Please note that in this mode 4:3 sources will be displayed with black borders on  
both sides to maintain the correct 4:3 aspect ratio.  
NOTE  
If you are using a plasma or widescreen CRT display you will want to avoid leaving black  
bars on the screen for any length of time as you may encounter temporary burn-in where the  
display retains memory of the “used” part of screen and the unused (black bar) portions are  
clearly defined on the screen during subsequent viewing sessions. The “16:9 Wide” mode is  
the best choice for these types of displays.  
If you have a 4:3 or standard definition screen as pictured on the right, select one of these options:  
4:3 Pan/Scan – 4:3 TV Pan and Scan. Choose when the display is 4:3. Both sides of a  
widescreen image are clipped (you lose about 30% of the picture).  
4:3 Letterbox – 4:3 TV Letterbox. Choose when the display is 4:3. Widescreen image is  
displayed in “letterbox” format with black borders on top and bottom (preferred).

Select the Best Output Resolution  
One of the major advantages of the OPPO DVD player is its ability to up-convert standard definition video  
contents stored on the DVD discs to high definition video signal and output it to the TV through HDMI. The  
sophisticated video processor inside the player ensures that the resulted video will have the best possible  
color, detail and motion. The DVD player offers several standard and high definition video output resolutions.  
To get the best visual result, it is important to select an output resolution that matches your TV or display  
device.  
The rule of thumb is selecting an output resolution that matches the “native resolution” of your TV or display  
device as closely as possible. The “native resolution” is the resolution of the actual display component in the  
TV, such as the Plasma panel, LCD panel, or DLP™ chip. The TV may accept input signals with lower or  
higher resolutions than its native resolution. In such cases the electronics in the TV will up-scale or down-  
scale the video to fit its display component. Unfortunately many TVs on the market only do an average job  
scaling the video. On the other hand, if you set the OPPO DVD player to output a resolution that matches or  
is very close to the native resolution of the TV, you are more likely to get a great picture. For the latest  
generation of 1080p, “Full HD” or “True HD” displays, the best output resolution will naturally be 1080p. For  
most flat panels and DLP™, LCD or LCoS (SXRD™, D-ILA™) rear projection televisions this will be 720p. For  
CRT rear projection televisions this will likely be 1080i. For non HD displays (very rare if they have HDMI or  
DVI) this will be 480p. You may want to try all available output resolutions and select the one that produces  
the best picture quality on your TV.  
You may use the HDMI button on the remote control to select the output resolution:  
1. Make sure the HDMI cable or the HDMI-DVI adapter cable is properly connected.  
2. Turn on the TV. Adjust the TV to use the proper input (HDMI or DVI).  
3. Turn on the DVD player with no disc in its tray, or if the DVD player is already on, make sure  
that playback is completely stopped.  
4. Press the HDMI button to show the current output resolution. Each subsequent press of the  
HDMI button switches the output resolution in the following sequence:  
NTSC output:  
480p Æ 720p 60Hz Æ 1080i 60Hz Æ 1080p 60Hz Æ Back to 480p again  
PAL output:  
576p Æ 720p 50Hz Æ 1080i 50Hz Æ 1080p 50Hz Æ Back to 576p again  
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.

NOTE  
Some TV sets do not support one or more HDMI output resolutions (particularly  
1080p). In this case repeatedly press the HDMI button until a supported resolution is  
selected. Give your display a second or two to “grab on” to the new signal and attempt  
to display a picture.  
In case you are not able to get a picture using the HDMI output, please connect the  
DVD player to the TV using either the composite video or S-Video output, and then  
use the setup menu to adjust the DVD player settings.  
Set up Audio Options  
Depending on your specific audio/video connection method, the audio options of the DVD player may need to  
be adjusted to match your configuration. Please refer to the video and audio connection methods described  
previously in this guide and the following audio setup guidelines.  
Audio Connection Directly to TV  
If your DVD player is connected directly to the TV through HDMI (as described in “Method 1” on page 8) or  
through DVI and analog L/R audio cables (as described in “Method 2” on page 9), it is recommended that you  
keep the factory default settings. The factory default settings set Speaker Setup Page > Down-mix to  
Stereo”. In this mode the DVD player will mix the surround and center channels of multi-channel audio  
contents with the left and right front channels. Since most TVs only come with stereo speakers, this setup will  
ensure you hear all conversation and background audio from the DVD.

Multi-Channel Digital Audio to Receiver through HDMI  
If your DVD player is connected to an A/V receiver or processor with HDMI inputs for high resolution multi-  
channel digital audio, you are in luck! You are now equipped to send all current audio formats to your receiver  
in pure digital form. The connection method will typically be as described in “Method 3” on page 10 of this  
guide.  
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 1.1 Multi-Channel PCM audio, most likely it also support DTS  
and/or Dolby Digital decoding and has surround speakers. Please set these DVD player

In this configuration you can enjoy all audio formats using the HDMI connection.  
NOTE  
HDMI is a wonderful thing. A single cable can transport both audio AND video from your DVD  
player to your display. Be aware, however, that HDMI is an evolving standard, and there  
could be compatibility issues. The OPPO DV-981HD supports HDMI 1.1 audio. A receiver  
that supports HDMI 1.1 is required in order to play multi-channel audio for all formats,  
including DVD-Video/Audio and SACD (SACD DSD audio converted to multi-channel PCM).  
If the receiver supports HDMI 1.0 only, DVD-Audio and SACD will NOT be able to be sent via  
HDMI. To utilize DVD-Audio or SACD, please see next section for multi-channel analogue  
audio connection.  
Multi-Channel Analog Audio to Receiver  
If your DVD player is connected to an A/V receiver through the 5.1ch analog audio jacks using 6 RCA cables  
(as described in “Method 4” on page 11), you can play all supported audio formats and listen to it with your  
A/V receiver and surround systems. The following setup options are recommended:  
Set the Speaker Setup Page > Down-mix to “5.1CH”.  
Set the speaker size and subwoofer properly according to your actual audio hardware.  
Enable or select the multi-channel analog inputs on your receiver

does not support HDMI multi-channel audio. This is absolutely worth it if you haven’t yet upgraded to a  
receiver with HDMI audio. Truly discrete audio channels are a wondrous thing, so enjoy them if you can.  
Coaxial or Optical Digital Audio to Receiver  
If your audio connection is as described in “Method 5” on page 12 of this guide, and the A/V receiver support  
Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, the following setup options are recommended:

connection method. To enjoy SACD or DVD-Audio in their full resolution, please use the HDMI connection if  
you have a receiver that handles HDMI audio and use multi-channel outputs if you do not.  
Stereo Analog Audio to Receiver  
If you primarily listen to stereo contents or your receiver only offers stereo audio connections, please use the  
analog RCA-style cables to connect the MIXED L/R output of the DVD player to your receiver, as described in  
“Method 6” on page 13 of this guide. Depending on whether the receiver has surround speakers and supports  
Dolby Pro Logic II decoding, you may use one of the following audio configurations:  
No Surround Speakers: If the audio system does not have surround speakers, please set the

1. Down-mix Mode: To set the audio down-mix mode for converting multi-channel audio into two-  
channel output. This setting affects the analog and HDMI audio outputs. The options are:  
Lt/Rt – Dolby Pro Logic II Left Total/Right Total. This mode is intended for use with two-  
channel Dolby Pro Logic II receivers. The center and surround channels are mixed into the  
two front channels according to the Lt/Rt matrix. A Dolby Pro Logic II receiver will decode  
the two-channel audio into surround audio.  
Stereo - This mode down-mixes decoded multi-channel (5.1ch) audio to 2-channel stereo  
output. For original stereo content the output will still be stereo. For original multi-channel  
content the surround and center channels will be mixed with the left and right front  
channels. Recommended for use with TV sets or stereo receiver/amplifiers.  
V. Surround - Virtual Surround. This mode creates a virtual surround effect from stereo or  
multi-channel audio contents.  
5.1CH – This mode enables 5.1ch decoded audio output. The number of actual output  
channels depends on the disc.  
2. Front Speaker: To set the sound filtering control for the front speakers. The options are:  
Large – Choose if the front speakers are large. Bass frequencies are passed to the front  
speakers.  
Small – Choose if the front speakers are small. Bass frequencies are not passed to the  
front speakers to reduce possible distortion.  
3. Center Speaker: To set the sound filtering control for the center speaker. The options are:  
Large – Choose if the center speaker is large. Bass frequencies are passed to the center  
speaker.  
Small – Choose if the center speaker is small. Bass frequencies are not passed to the  
center speaker to reduce possible distortion.  
Off – Choose if there is no center speaker.  
4. Rear Speaker: To set the sound filtering control for the rear speakers. The options are:  
Large – Choose if the rear surround speakers are large. Bass frequencies are passed to  
the rear speakers.  
Small – Choose if the rear surround speakers are small. Bass frequencies are not passed  
to the rear speakers to reduce possible distortion.

6. Channel Delay: To set the delay time for the center, rear speakers and the subwoofer. The  
delay is to compensate for the audio propagation time difference caused by the distance  
difference of the speakers to the listener.  
Press the up/down ARROW buttons to select the speaker to set the distance difference.  
Press the left/right ARROW buttons to set the distance difference.  
Press the SELECT button to confirm the settings and return to the Speaker Setup Page.  
The channel delay is the difference between the distance from the listener to the front  
speakers and the distance from the listener to the speaker to be configured.  
Measure the distance (in inches) from the primary listening position to the Front Left  
Speaker. This is your baseline measurement – the primary distance that will determine the  
adjustments for your system. Your Front Right and Left speakers should measure the  
same distance. If they do not, please adjust them if possible.  
Measure the distance (in inches) from other speakers to the listening position. If it is LESS  
than the distance to the Front Left speaker, enter the difference (as close as possible) in  
inches using the left/right ARROW buttons as channel delay. If it is GREATER than the  
distance to the Front Left speaker, then leave the channel delay at 0.  
Repeat for each speaker in the system (Center, Left Surround, Right Surround, and  
Subwoofer) as available.  
For example, if the distance between the listener and the front main speakers is 60 inches (n in  
the above picture), and the distance between the listener and the center speaker is 56 inches  
(o), the channel delay for the center speaker is 4 inches (n-o=p). Similarly, if the left  
surround speaker is 48 inches (q) away from the listener, the channel delay for the left  
surround speaker should be 12 inches (n-q=r).  
Distance between the surround speakers and the listener must be shorter than or equal to that  
between the front speakers and the listener.  
In case the channel delay settings cannot match your speaker configuration, please set all  
distance difference to 0 inch and use your receiver/amplifier to set the channel delay.

1. Digital Output: To set the bit stream type of the digital audio output for use with Dolby Digital  
and DTS-compatible receivers. The options are:  
Raw – Passes the encoded multi-channel digital audio unaltered. Choose this setting if  
your receiver/amplifier is capable of decoding Dolby Digital and/or DTS.  
PCM – Forces down-mixed 2-channel digital audio output. Choose this setting if your  
receiver/amplifier only supports stereo digital (PCM) audio.  
2. LPCM Rate: To set the maximum Linear PCM output frequency. The options are:  
48K – Supported by most equipment.  
96K – Allows a higher sampling rate and frequency response. It can result better audio  
quality. Ensure that the receiver/amplifier can support it.  
192K – Allows the highest sampling rate and frequency response. It can result the best  
audio quality. Ensure that the receiver/amplifier can support it.  
Note: The LPCM rate is selectable only when HDMI Audio is turned off.  
3. Audio Tone (+/-16): This function raises or lowers the tone (key/pitch) of the audio track. This  
is useful for playing Karaoke discs and should not be used for regular music listening or movies.  
Press the SELECT button to show the tone control window.  
Press the left/right ARROW buttons to lower or raise the tone/pitch.  
Press the SELECT button to confirm the setting.  
4. Pro Logic II: Taking a step further than most DVD players, the OPPO DVD player allows you to  
configure Dolby Pro Logic II to expand 2-channel source audio into full 5-channel surround  
sound. Note: Pro Logic II functionality is effective only when Speaker Setup Page > Down-  
mix is set to “5.1ch” and Digital Output is set to “Raw”.

S E T U P M E N U O P T I O N S  
On – Pro Logic II processing is always on  
Off – No Pro Logic II processing  
Auto – Pro Logic II processing is on only when Dolby Pro Logic II encoded content is  
detected.  
B. Mode: To set the processing mode of Pro Logic II. The options are:  
Music – The surround experience is tailored for multi-channel music playback  
Movie – Emphasis is given to the center channel as two-channel audio is decoded and  
played back into your 5.1 system  
Pro Logic – This activates decoding and processing of the original Dolby Pro Logic  
processing with mono-surround channel. We recommend using the Dolby Pro Logic  
Movie mode in lieu of this 4-channel surround format.  
Auto – Automatically selects processing mode based on the input format  
C. Panorama (Music mode only): Turns on/off panorama mode. When turned on, the front  
stereo audio is partially fed into the surround channels for an enveloping effect.  
D. Dimension (Music mode only): Allows gradual adjustment of the sound field either  
towards the front or towards the rear. This is useful in setting a more even balance from all  
speakers with some rooms.  
E. Center Width (Music mode only): To control the width of the center channel sound effect  
by blending the center speaker to the left and right speakers. As the level number  
increases, the center channel sound moves toward the left and right speakers.  
5. Dolby Digital Setup: To configure the Dolby Digital decoder.  
Press the SELECT button to enter the Dolby Digital Setup page.  
Press the left ARROW button to exit the Dolby Digital Setup page.  
A. Dual Mono: To choose the output for Dolby Digital discs encoded with two independent  
audio channels, such as bilingual programs. The options are:  
Stereo – Stereo output  
L-Mono – Left channel output to both Left and Right speakers.  
R-Mono – Right channel output to both Left and Right speakers.  
Mix Mono – Left and Right channels mixed to both Left and Right speakers.  
B. Dynamic: To set the Dynamic Range Compression (DRC). DRC can smooth out the sonic  
peaks and valleys common with wide-range digital audio. Increasing DRC may make low  
level audio more audible during low-level listening. Decreasing or turning off DRC restores  
the sonic energy present in the original recording.  
6. Channel Trim: To set the volume of each individual channel.

S E T U P M E N U O P T I O N S  
Press the left/right ARROW buttons to select the channel to be adjusted.  
Press the up/down ARROW buttons to raise or lower the volume of the selected channel in  
0.5dB increments.  
Press the SELECT button to confirm the settings and return to the Audio Setup Page.  
Channel trim is generally not required since most A/V receivers have the capability to adjust  
channel trim and compensate for speaker sensitivity differences. However if your receiver does  
not have such functions, you may adjust channel trim on the DVD player. For most accurate  
results, it is recommended that you use test tones from a calibration disc, such as AVIA Guide  
to Home Theater, and a SPL (Sound Pressure Level) meter.  
7. Audio Delay: To add delay to analog or PCM digital audio output. If you experience  
audio/video synchronization problem, you may use this option to add a slight delay to the audio  
so it is in-sync with video.  
Press the left/right ARROW buttons to adjust delay. The audio delay can be adjusted in  
10ms steps.  
Audio delay does not apply to raw bit stream digital audio output.  
8. HDMI Audio: To select digital audio output from the HDMI port. The options are:  
LPCM – Digital audio output via HDMI will be multi-channel Linear PCM format. The Down-  
mix setting in the “Speaker Setup Page” will affect whether and how multi-channel audio  
content will be down-mixed to stereo. When this option is selected, compressed audio bit  
streams will decoded by the DVD player. This setting is recommended when connecting  
the HDMI output directly to a TV.  
Auto – Digital audio output via HDMI will be the same as the digital coaxial/optical audio  
output for CD, Dolby Digital and DTS audio signals. For high resolution stereo or multi-  
channel audio contents such as DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD, the DVD player will send  
multi-channel PCM audio signals with the highest available sample frequency and bit  
numbers. Depending on the original audio content, the format could be 44.1kHz - 192kHz, 2  
- 6 channels. This option is recommended when connecting the HDMI output to an A/V  
receiver or processor with HDMI 1.1 or above audio capabilities.  
Off – No digital audio output via HDMI.  
NOTE  
If you use HDMI to connect audio to an HDMI A/V receiver or audio processor, it is  
recommended that you choose 720p or higher HDMI output resolution when playing high  
resolution audio content (DVD-Audio and SACD). According to the HDMI specification, the  
bandwidth available for audio is proportional to the total bandwidth used by video. At  
480p/576p resolution, the HDMI specification can only support 2 channels of audio with high  
sample rate (up to 192kHz), or 8 channels of audio with standard sample rate (up to 48kHz).  
Depending on the capability of your A/V receiver or audio processor, if you play high  
resolution audio content at 480p/576p resolution, you may get reduced audio resolution,  
incomplete audio channels, or even no audio/video output at all. Choosing a high HDMI  
output resolution such as 720p or 1080i allows enough bandwidth for all high sample rate  
audio channels.

1. Sharpness: To set the sharpness of video output. Sharpness level can be set with the  
following options:  
High – High edge enhancement. Video details are the sharpest but it may cause white line  
etching around objects.  
Medium – Medium edge enhancement. Video details are sharper but it may cause slight  
white line etching around objects.  
Low – Low edge enhancement. This setting produces slightly sharpened video details.  
Off (recommended) – Turn off edge enhancement completely.  
NOTE  
Sharpness (edge enhancement) is an artificial video processing function that can produce a  
sharper looking picture but at the same time may degrade the details of the picture or cause  
unwanted artifacts. We recommend leaving it off.  
2. Brightness: To adjust the brightness (black level) of the video output.  
Press the SELECT button to show the Brightness scale, and then use the left/right ARROW  
buttons to adjust.  
Press the SELECT button to confirm the new setting.  
3. Contrast: To adjust the contrast (white level) of the video output.  
NOTE  
The ability to set brightness and contrast is no small thing. If you do not have the correct  
black and white levels then your images can appear washed out or you won’t be able to see  
into the shadows when watching darker scenes in movies. Televisions have brightness (black  
level) and contrast (white level) controls; however it may take a combination of tweaking both  
the DVD player and your television to get just the right result. We recommend using a  
calibration DVD like AVIA Guide to Home Theater or Digital Video Essentials and setting your  
display for the best possible picture. Once that is done, see if the DVD player settings can get  
even closer.  
4. Saturation: To adjust the saturation (color intensity level) of the video output.  
5. TrueLife: To turn on/off the TrueLife™ video processing of the built-in Genesis/Faroudja video  
processor. TrueLife is a Faroudja proprietary two dimensional, non-linear, luma & chroma video  
enhancer that brings out details in the picture to produce a more life-like image. Since many  
43

S E T U P M E N U O P T I O N S  
advanced video processing functions rely on the TrueLife feature, we recommend leaving this  
option on.  
6. CCS: To turn on/off the Cross Color Suppression feature of the built-in Genesis/Faroudja video  
processor. CCS helps separate contrasting colors and may prevent the colors from bleeding  
into one another. The setting is useful in some circumstances, especially when displaying static  
pictures recorded as video. This setting is effective only when TrueLife is turned on. Since  
CCS mainly affects static pictures instead of motion contents, we recommend turning it off.  
7. Noise Reduction: To set the video noise reduction level of the built-in Genesis/Faroudja video  
processor. Turning on noise reduction can reduce the snow-like or block-like video noise  
generated by broadcasting or video encoding. However the side effect of noise reduction is  
some loss of fine details and some “ghosting” effect – fast moving objects may show a visible  
trace. The recommended setting is “Off”. Turn on noise reduction only when the original  
content has a lot of video noise. This setting is effective only when TrueLife is turned on. The  
available settings are:  
High – High noise reduction. Video noise is significantly reduced. Moving objects may  
leave a visible trail (“ghosting”).  
Medium – Medium noise reduction. Video noise is strongly reduced. Moving objects may  
leave a visible trail.  
Low – Low noise reduction. Video noise is slightly reduced. Moving objects may leave a  
slightly visible trail.  
Off – Turn off noise reduction completely.  
8. Video Mode: To select the mode of conversion for video output. The options are:  
Video 1 – Video 1 mode is recommended for viewing NTSC content with video or 3:2  
cadence. If you primarily watch NTSC content, this is the preferred mode.  
Video 2 – Video 2 mode is recommended for viewing NTSC/PAL contents with video, 3:2  
and 2:2 cadences. If you watch both NTSC and PAL movies this is the preferred mode.  
Please note that in Video 2 mode, NTSC/PAL conversion is not performed for analog video  
outputs (composite and S-Video).  
9. RGB Range: To select the HDMI RGB output range. This setting only affects output in RGB  
color space, primarily used when the DVD player is connected to a DVI input. The options are:  
Normal – Normal RGB range suitable for video display.  
Enhanced – Expanded RGB range suitable for personal computer (PC) display. Some TVs  
are designed to be used as a PC monitor, and expect signal in expanded RGB range when  
the DVI input is selected. For these TVs if the video signal uses the normal RGB range, the  
black-white contrast will be reduced. You can set the DVD player to use the Enhanced  
RGB Range and restore proper contrast.
