Disc types supported  
The ARCAM DV29 DVD-player plays a range of disc types. Discs entered into the DV29 should bear one  
of the logos shown on the right. These disc types include:  
DVD-video (single region, set at factory);  
n
DVD-audio;  
n
CDDA (‘normal’ audio-CDs) including HDCD decoding, CD-R, and CD-RW;  
n
Video CD, including variants such as CVCD, SVCD and DVCD;  
n
MP3 and WMA audio files, when on a CD-ROM or CD-R/CD-RW (some restrictions apply);  
n
Picture CDs (JPEG image files).  
n
Other disc formats may not play correctly in this player.  
DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW discs (Audio CDs and Video CD/Super VCDs) recorded using a DVD recorder,  
CD recorder or personal computer may not play in the DV29. This may be caused by a number of  
possibilities, such as the type of disc used and the type of recording.  
CD-R/RW compatibility  
This unit will play CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in CD Audio or Video CD/Super VCD format,  
n
or as a CD-ROM containing MP3/WMA audio files, or as a ‘Kodak’ Picture CD. However, any other  
content may cause the disc not to play, or create noise/distortion in the output. This unit cannot  
record CD-R or CD-RW discs.  
Unfinalized CD-R/RW discs recorded as CD Audio cannot be played.  
n
DVD-R/RW compatibility  
This unit will play DVD-R/RW discs that are recorded using the DVD Video format.  
This unit cannot record DVD-R/RW discs.  
n
Unfinalized DVD-R/RW discs cannot be played in this player.  
n
Compressed audio compatibility  
The DV29 will play CD-ROM discs containing files saved in the MPEG1 Audio Layer 3 (MP3) and Windows  
Media file (WMA) formats, with sampling rates of 44.1 or 48kHz. Incompatible files will not play correctly,  
potentially causing noise or distortion on the audio outputs.  
Fixed bitrate files are recommended. Variable bitrate (VBR) files are playable, but the playing  
time may not be shown correctly.  
n
The CD-ROM used to compile your MP3/WMA files must be ISO 9660 Level 2 compliant. CD  
physical format: Mode1, or Mode2 XA Form 1.  
n
This player plays only tracks that are named with the file extensions ‘.mp3, .MP3, .wma’ or  
‘.WMA’.  
n
This player is compatible with multi-session discs, but plays only sessions that are closed.  
n
Use CD-R or CD-RW media for recording your MP3/WMA files.  
n
There are many different recording bit rates available to encode your MP3/WMA files. See  
n
page 22 for a list of bit rates that are compatible with this player. Note that MP3 audio encoded  
at 128 Kbps or higher should sound close to regular CD Audio quality. This player will play lower  
bitrate MP3 or WMA tracks, but be aware that the sound quality becomes noticeably worse at  
lower bitrates.  
PC created disc compatibility  
If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a ‘compatible format’ as  
n
listed above, there will be cases in which the disc may not be playable in this machine due to the  
setting of the application software used to create the disc. In these particular instances, check  
with the software publisher for more detailed information.  
Check the DVD-R/RW or CD-R/RW software disc boxes for additional compatibility information.  
n
HDMI digital interface  
The HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) interconnect provides high-quality digital audio and  
video, all through a single user-friendly connector. HDMI is the first consumer-electronics interface  
to support uncompressed standard, enhanced, or high-definition video together with stereo or multi-  
channel surround-sound audio, all using one interface.  
Connection to a HDMI-equipped AV receiver or audio-visual device for high-quality audio and video is  
easy, and communication between the video source and (DTV) players, set-top boxes, and other audio-  
visual devices occurs automatically.  
For further information on HDMI, please see page 9.

Positioning the unit  
Place the DV29 on a level, firm surface and ensure that there is adequate ventilation for the unit.  
Connecting the video output  
To view the pictures from the DVD player you need to connect one of its video outputs to your display  
device (TV, monitor, projector, etc.).  
The DV29 has six video output options:  
Component video  
RGB  
Composite video

Progressive scan component 525P (480P) and 625P (576P) video  
HDMI digital video  
S-video  
You only need to use one type of video from the list; choose a type that your display device supports. If  
your display device does not support any of the above connection types then you will be unable to use it  
with the DV29; in this case, please contact your dealer for futher assistance.  
Note that you may connect equipment such as AV receivers in the signal path between the DVD player  
and the display device, so long that the connected equipment also supports the type of video signal you  
intend to use. For instructions on how to connect AV equipment, consult the manual for that equipment.  
NOTE: The DVD player supports either component video or RGB video at any one time, but not both.  
This is specified in the set-up menu (see page 12). If you use either of these outputs with an incorrect  
menu setting, no damage will occur but the picture will be coloured in a strange way. Similar effects  
result from cross-connection of the three signals.  
If you use component video outputs, you must ensure that the SCART socket is not used. Similarly, if  
the SCART socket is used, disconnect the component video leads.  
Composite video  
If your display device offers only a composite input (sometimes labelled CVBS or just ‘video’), connect  
this to the COMPOSITE video output of the DVD player using a 75Ω phono cable suitable for video use.  
Note that a composite video connection gives the lowest quality output; if your display device supports  
other video connection types, we advise that those are used instead.  
S-Video  
The S-Video output (also known as S-VHS or Y/C) is commonly supported by display devices worldwide.  
Connect the S-VIDEO output of the DVD player to the S-Video input of the display device using an  
appropriate cable.  
Component video

RGB/SCART output  
RGB output is available on both the SCART and Component/RGB sockets and offers picture quality equal  
to component video.  
Use appropriate cables to connect either the SCART connector or RGB phonos to your display device.  
Note that if you are using RGB output via phono connectors, you will also need to use the COMPOSITE  
signal as a synchronisation signal.  
DV29  
E-6  
If you are using a SCART connection to your TV, and you do not wish to listen to the audio  
through it, then it is best to mute your TV’s speakers as SCART also carries stereo audio signals;  
muting the TV will prevent this audio being heard.  
If no picture is visible,  
ensure that your display  
device is set to the  
correct input.  
Note that the SCART output has a control signal that switches your TV to its SCART  
input when the DV29 is turned on. It will also signal to wide-screen TVs the correct aspect ratio  
(16:9 or 4:3), provided this feature is supported by the TV.  
If ‘black bars’ are shown  
at the top and bottom  
of the screen: you are  
viewing a ‘widescreen’  
formatted film via a 4:3  
format display device.  
If possible, change your  
display device to show  
16:9 format output.  
Progressive video  
If your television is capable of accepting a progressively scanned (de-interlaced) video signal,  
you may wish to use the progressive video output from the DV29.  
To connect the progressive output of the DV29 to your display device, follow the instructions  
above for connecting component video. If you are unsure whether your display device can accept  
progressive video, please refer to its instruction manual or consult your dealer.  
HDMI digital video  
The HDMI connector offers uncompressed digital video transmission between the DV29 and the  
display device, and provides the highest quality video output.  
To use this video connection, you will require a HDMI or HDMI/DVI cable between the DV29 and the  
display device. See page 9 for further details.  
Connecting the digital-audio output  
If you have an external surround-sound decoder, receiver or D-A converter that you wish to use with the  
DVD player, then you will need to connect it using either a co-axial or optical lead. These digital outputs  
provide PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG multi-channel audio, depending on the source material. It is  
also possible (via the set-up menu of the DV29) to set the digital output always to put 2-channel PCM  
(stereo mix-down) out.  
If possible, use the co-axial connection as this offers slightly better performance. Connect the co-axial  
output of the DVD player to the digital audio co-axial input of the decoder/D-A converter or receiver  
using a phono cable designed for digital audio interconnection.  
Alternatively, connect the optical output of the DVD player to the optical input of the decoder/D-A  
converter or receiver using a TOSLINK optical lead.  
Connecting the analogue-audio output  
If you wish to use the high quality D-A converters of the DV29, then you will need to use its  
analogue audio outputs.  
If nothing is audible,  
Two pairs of stereo outputs are provided (these are identical), labelled L (left) and R (right).  
ensure that your audio  
device (TV, amplifier,  
etc.) is set to the  
Connect one of these pairs to the input of your amplifier using a suitable pair of interconnect  
cables. If required, the second set of audio outputs can be used to connect to a second amplifier  
set-up for ‘multi-room’ use, or routed to a tape recorder for making recordings.  
correct input. Check the  
connections at both ends  
and, if necessary, try an  
alternative cable.  
For 6-channel material, an additional four outputs are provided. Together with one pair of the  
2-channel output connections, these should be connected (using suitable interconnect cables) to  
the ‘multi-channel’ analogue input of your home cinema processor (the multi-channel input may  
be labelled ‘DVDA’ or ‘SACD’). In this case, the additional 2-channel output pair may be used for  
some other function, as suggested above (although when playing 6-channel material, only the  
left and right channels of this material would be heard).  
The remote-control input  
The REMOTE IN input can be used to pass RC5 codes to the DV29 if it is installed in a position (or  
system) where infrared cannot be used. If this is required, please contact your dealer for further  
information. The DV29 can accept both modulated (at 36kHz) and unmodulated RC5 signals.  
Connecting to a power supply  
Mains lead  
The appliance is normally supplied with a moulded mains plug already fitted to the lead. If for any  
reason the plug needs to be removed, it must be disposed of immediately and securely, as it is a  
potential shock hazard when inserted into the mains socket.  
Check that the plug supplied with the unit fits your supply and that your mains supply voltage agrees  
with the voltage setting (115V or 230V) indicated on the rear panel of the unit.  
If your mains supply voltage or mains plug is different, or you require a new lead, please consult your  
Arcam dealer.  
Plugging in  
Push the plug (IEC line socket) of the power cable supplied with the unit into the socket (POWER INLET)  
in the back of the unit. Make sure it is pushed in firmly.  
Put the plug on the other end of the cable into your power supply socket and switch the socket on.

The HDMI interface  
If you have a HDMI- or DVI-equipped monitor or display, you can connect it to the DV29 using a HDMI  
cable. The HDMI connector carries uncompressed digital video, as well as digital audio.  
About HDMI  
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports both video and audio on a single digital connection  
for use with DVD players, digital TV, set-top boxes, and other AV devices. HDMI was developed to  
combine the technologies of High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) and the Digital Visual  
Interface (DVI) in one specification, with the addition of transmission of digital audio information; HDCP  
is used to protect digital content transmitted to DVI-compliant displays.  
HDMI has the capability to support standard (interlaced), enhanced, or high-definition video together  
with stereo or multi-channel surround-sound audio. HDMI features include uncompressed digital video,  
one connector (instead of several cables and connectors), and communication between the AV source  
and AV devices.  
Connecting using HDMI  
If the HDMI connector is to be used, we recommend first setting the ‘Output Priority’ item on the video  
menu page to ‘HDMI/DVI. This will give full ‘plug and play’ functionality. See page 14 for details on how  
to do this.  
Use a HDMI cable to connect the HDMI socket on this player to a HDMI socket on a compatible display  
device or receiver. The arrow on the cable connector body should be face up for correct alignment with  
the connector on the DV29. If the DV29 has been configured to ‘HDMI priority, then the DV29 will  
configure its video output automatically to match the capabilities of the attached HDMI device.  
NOTE: A HDMI connection can be made only with HDMI or DVI-equipped components compatible  
with both DVI and HDCP. Note that if you choose to connect to a DVI device, you will need an adaptor  
(HDMI to DVI) to do so; a DVI/HDCP connection, however, does not support audio signals.  
If you require further information on the possibilities for connecting your DV29 to your DVI/HDMI  
equipped display device, please contact your Arcam dealer.  
Troubleshooting  
Problems with video  
NO VIDEO (BLANK SCREEN)  
Check that the HDMI cable is connected correctly at both ends. If an HDMI-equipped A/V  
receiver is in use, try connecting the DV29 directly to the display device, in order to isolate  
where the fault may lie.  
n
Check that the display device is set to display the HDMI input (i.e., has not been set to some  
other video input, instead).  
n
Check that the HDMI connector of the receiver and/or display device is enabled. See the user  
handbook of the connected device for details on doing this.  
n
Using an alternative video display device (e.g., connected via the composite video out), check  
that the ‘Output Priority’ item on the Video page of the Set-up menu is set to ‘HDMI / DVI. See  
page 14 for details on how to do this.  
n
Consult the user handbook of the display device to ensure that it can handle the output formats  
n
provided by the DV29. The DV29 can provide the following: 720x480P (NTSC progressive scan),  
720(1440)x480i (NTSC interlaced), 720x576P (PAL progressive scan) and 720(1440)x576i (PAL  
interlaced). At least one of these must be supported by the connected device in order for it to  
work with the DV29.  
NO VIDEO (RANDOM NOISE)  
Random noise will be displayed if the content-protection algorithm fails to authenticate the attached  
device. This will occur, for example, if a DVI device that does not support HDCP (such as a computer  
monitor) is connected to the DV29.  
To attempt to isolate this problem, remove all discs from the DV29, the power-off both it and the  
connected display device. Switch the display device on, then the DV29 – at this point, the idle logo of the  
DV29 should be shown on the display device. If this is not the case, please check the items listed above  
for a blank screen.  
If the noise appears when a copy-protected disc (DVD) is played, then it is the authentication that is  
failing. Please contact your dealer for further information.  
Problems with audio  
The type of audio provided by the HDMI connector depends on the configuration of the DV29 (see ‘Audio  
Setup’ on page 15). Note that pure DVI devices (connections requiring a HDMI to DVI convertor cable)  
do not support audio via this connection.  
If you have a HDMI device and you are experiencing audio problems, try setting the audio output to  
Audio item of the Set-up menu to ‘PCM/2 Ch.; it may be that the display device supports only 2-channel  
audio.

Configuring your DVD player  
Introduction  
This section of the document describes the use of the ‘Set-up’ menu, which is used to configure your  
player for your system and your personal preferences.  
Obtaining a picture  
To view the Set-up menu for the initial configuration, we recommend the use of  
the composite video output to connect to your display device. This is because the  
high quality video output has several display modes and may be incompatible with  
your display device in its default configuration.  
Ensure that your display device is switched on and that you have selected the  
correct video input. You should see the image shown on the right. This is the  
image that the DVD player gives whenever there is no disc playing.  
NOTE: To protect your screen from damage caused by persistent static  
images, a ‘screen saver’ facility activates after a few minutes of inactivity.  
When this occurs, the image shown on the right will be ‘bounced’ around the  
screen. To reset the image to the central position, press the STOP button on  
the player or on the remote control.  
Using the Set-up menus  
To enter the Set-up menu, ensure that no disc is playing. Press SETUP on the remote control: a menu  
will appear on the screen.  
The Set-up menu comprises seven pages of options. The top line of each page shows the page title,  
indicating the nature of the settings controlled by the page. To make a change, first use the UP/DOWN  
controls to highlight the item. Once the item to be changed has been highlighted, press RIGHT to open  
the list of options for the menu item. The current option for the menu item is shown highlighted; the  
UP/DOWN controls can be used to select the new option, then pressing LEFT confirms the selection and  
closes the option list.  
To change page, highlight the page bar at the top of the screen and use the LEFT/RIGHT controls  
to move through the pages.  
n
The UP/DOWN controls ‘wrap around, so that with the highlight bar at the bottom of the screen,  
pressing DOWN takes the bar to the top of the screen.  
n
Items that are not applicable currently (for example, the Pro Logic II settings, when Pro Logic II  
processing is switched off) are shown in dark blue, and cannot be highlighted or changed.

Operational set-up  
OSD Language  
This setting controls the language of the messages displayed on the On-Screen  
Display (OSD). The default language is English, with three other languages  
supported.  
 
 
Note that this setting does not change the language of any information displayed  
on the front panel, which is always in English.

No pop-up messages, only menus when required.  
Certain messages, such as ‘No Disc’ are always shown regardless of how this is set.  
DVD menu  
Some DVD discs support a number of different languages for the DVD disc menu (the menu present on  
the DVD itself). This setting allows the preferred language to be specified. For example, if this item is set  
to ‘French’ then disc menus will be displayed in French, where supported by the disc.  
Note that not all discs will have your preferred language available.  
Subtitle  
This setting controls the subtitles displayed on the display device (although note that some discs may  
force the subtitles to be displayed regardless of how this item is set).  
Off  
No Subtitles

The default setting for Subtitle is ‘Off’; alternatively, choose the setting for the language you prefer. Note  
that not all discs will have your preferred language available as a subtitle.  
Force DVI  
Even though your display device may be fully HDMI compliant, it is possible that in-line receivers or  
repeaters may work only in DVI mode. In this case, it is useful to disable HDMI, forcing DVI output  
instead.  
Select YES to force the DV29 into DVI mode even when a HDMI device is detected; select NO otherwise.  
If you are not using the HDMI capabilities of the DV29, then it does not matter which way this item is  
set.  
Remote type  
This informs the player which type of remote control you are using, so that the player can take into  
account the slight differences between the remote types. For ARCAM remote controls, the remote type is  
always written on the front of the remote control, normally at the bottom of the unit.

It is important to choose ‘Other’ if the learning remote in use does not support RC-5 ‘toggle bits.  
Disc Priority  
Some DVD discs show different material, or have different behaviour, depending on whether the disc is  
played on a DVD-video or on a DVD-audio player. The ‘Disc Priority’ option allows you to configure the  
DV29 to be (primarily) one or other of the player types.  
Note that, although this setting may be changed after a disc has been loaded into the DV29, this setting  
does not take effect unless the disc is re-loaded (or a different disc is played).  
DV29  
E-13  
Video set-up  
If your display device is HDMI-compliant, the DV29 can read the capabilities of  
the display device directly; the information allows the DV29 to configure its output  
automatically and optimally for the attached device. This is known as ‘plug and  
play.  
 
�  
 
���  
�  
 
The DV29 can be configured for plug and play, or not; this depends on the ‘Output  
Priority’ setting, described below. If the DV29 is configured for plug and play, and  
the display device cannot handle some of the options described below, then the  
options shown will be restricted to just the ones applicable to the attached device.  
For example, if the display device can handle PAL signals, but not NTSC, then NTSC  
will not be shown as an option for the ‘TV System’ menu item.  
��  
��

See page 9 for more information about connecting to HDMI devices.  
Output Priority  
Allows specification of whether HDMI ‘plug and play’ capabilities should be used.  
HDMI/DVI  
Select this item if you are connecting the DV29 to a HDMI-compliant device, and  
you are happy for the DV29 to configure itself automatically for the device it is  
attached to.  
This is the recommended setting if you are connecting the DV29 to a  
HDMI-compliant device.  
Analogue  
Select this setting if you are not connecting the DV29 to a HDMI-compliant  
device.  
TV System  
This is set at the factory to be appropriate for the type of display device used in your country.  
Should you need to change this setting, the options are explained below.  
If the picture is ‘jerky’  
or ‘shimmers’, you may  
be playing a disc that  
has a format different  
to the setting of your  
player (a PAL disc played  
with NTSC output, for  
example). If your display  
device can handle both  
PAL and NTSC video, then  
change the ‘TV system’  
setting to ‘Auto’.  
Auto  
The video output is taken from that recorded on the disc. When no disc is playing,  
the logo screen is displayed using the standard of the last disc played.  
NTSC  
NTSC is always used as the video standard. Note that PAL discs are converted to  
NTSC, but this causes some reduction in the quality of the video output (and may  
cause the video to become ‘jerky’). This is the best setting to use if your display  
device can accept only NTSC video (this is generally the case in North America);  
better results are obtained by using ‘Auto, but your display device must be able  
to support PAL.  
PAL  
PAL is always used as the video standard. Note that NTSC discs are converted to  
PAL, but this causes some reduction in the quality of the video output (and may  
cause the video to become ‘jerky’). Better results will be obtained by using ‘Auto,  
but your display device must be able to support NTSC.  
Progressive  
Not all displays support  
progressive scan. If you  
enable progressive scan  
accidentally and your  
display does not support  
it, you may be unable  
to view the picture from  
the DVD player, including  
the on-screen display  
required to change the  
video settings. To revert  
to interlaced mode  
Allows configuration of interlaced or de-interlaced (progressive scan) output.  
Off  
The video output will always be interlaced (standard definition video). Use this  
setting if your display device does not support progressive scan.  
NTSC only  
(525)  
The component video output will switch to progressive scan mode whenever the  
output standard is NTSC (525). This would be whenever an NTSC disc is played,  
or whenever ‘TV System’ is set to NTSC. The video output will revert to interlaced  
(standard definition) for PAL (625) modes. Use this setting only if your display  
device supports NTSC progressive scan.  
PAL only  
(625)  
The component video output will switch to progressive scan mode whenever the  
output standard is PAL (625). This would be whenever a PAL disc is played, or  
whenever ‘TV System’ is set to PAL. The video output will revert to interlaced  
(standard definition) for NTSC (525) modes. Use this setting only if your display  
device supports PAL progressive scan.  
without using the on  
screen menus, press and  
hold the STOP button on  
the front panel at any  
time. The video mode  
will revert to interlaced  
mode after the button has  
been held in for about five  
seconds.  
On  
The component- and HDMI-video outputs will put progressive scan video out for  
both PAL and NTSC discs. Use this setting only if your display device supports  
progressive scan in both PAL and NTSC formats.  
NOTE: When progressive scan is active, the component- and HDMI-video outputs will be in  
Progressive mode; the other video outputs (Composite and S-Video) will be muted.  
Since progressive scan must be Component, (not RGB), the ‘Analogue Video’ item will be  
forced to ‘Component’ if progressive scan is enabled.  
TV shape  
This needs to be set correctly for the type of display device you have and the type of display you prefer.  
4:3  
Letterbox  
Use this setting if you have a conventional 4:3 display device, and you prefer  
to view wide screen movies in letterbox format (with black bars at the top and  
bottom)  
4:3  
Panscan  
Use this setting if you have a conventional 4:3 display device, and you prefer to  
view wide screen movies in Pan & Scan format (cropping the sides of the image)  
16:9  
Use this setting if you have a wide screen (16:9) display device.  
Material in 16:9 format is displayed so as to fill the screen.  
If you have a 4:3 display device and you have set a preference for PANSCAN, it does not mean you will  
always see movies in this format, since Panscan display must be supported by the disc being played.  
DV29  
E-14  
Analogue Video  
This setting controls the type of video given out on the Component and SCART video outputs. It is set  
at the factory to be appropriate for the type of display device used in your country, so it is best not  
to change it. If it gets set incorrectly then the picture shown on the display device will have strange  
colouring.  
Component  
The video output on the Component video (3 phonos), SCART and HDMI  
connections is Y, Pb, Pr component video.  
RGB SCART  
The video output on the Component video (3 phonos), SCART and HDMI  
connections is RGB. Note that if you are using RGB output via phono connectors,  
you will also need to use COMPOSITE as a sync. signal.  
Note that this setting has no effect on the video provided by the HDMI connector.  
Digital Video  
This setting controls the type of video given out over the HDMI connection.  
YUV  
The HDMI connection carries Y, Pb, Pr (YUV) component video.  
The HDMI connection carries RGB video.  
RGB SCART  
Note that this setting has no effect on the analogue video outputs.  
NTSC black (Pedestal)  
This setting controls the ‘pedestal’ signal or black level when the NTSC video standard is used.  
0 IRE  
This removes the pedestal from NTSC video. This setting should be used in Japan,  
and also if you are using RGB video, whatever the country.  
7.5 IRE  
This is the standard pedestal level that should be used in all countries that use  
NTSC video, with the exception of Japan.  
Note that this setting has no effect on PAL, progressive scan or HDMI outputs.  
Audio set-up  
This section allows you to configure the analogue, digital and HDMI audio outputs.  
In particular, the digital output type needs to be set correctly if you are using an  
external audio decoder, receiver or D-A converter.

��  
Audio  
Two different types of digital signal are supported on the digital audio outputs:  
‘Bitstream’ and ‘Stereo PCM’; the HDMI link can, additionally, carry multi-channel  
uncompressed audio (such as from DVD-audio discs).  
������� �  
�����  
�����  
�����  
Bitstream  
The Bitstream setting supports the following audio standards:  
��  
2 channel PCM (on CDs or DVDs)  
Dolby Digital  
MPEG multi channel  
DTS multi channel  
n
n
n
n
Use the Bitstream setting if you have an external decoder that  
supports Dolby Digital.  
Stereo PCM  
When the ‘Stereo PCM’ digital output is selected, all audio  
material played is down-mixed to stereo and output as stereo  
PCM. Use this setting if you have an external D-A converter that  
supports only 2-channel PCM.  
Since the digital and analogue outputs are closely related, the analogue audio output reflects the digital  
output type selected.  
The options available are as follows:  
Bitstream + The digital output is ‘Bitstream’ (as described above); the HDMI and analogue  
6 Ch.  
audio will comprise up to six channels of decoded output, depending on the source  
material, the speaker configuration (see the ‘Speaker Setup’ section) and the ‘Pro  
Logic II’ setting (see below).  
Select this option if:  
either – you are using the multi-channel analogue output to connect to your  
amplifier/receiver;  
or – you are using the HDMI link to carry multi-channel uncompressed audio, such  
as the output from a DVD-audio disc. (Note that very few HDMI receivers support  
this mode currently – check the handbook of your HDMI device or consult your  
dealer for advice.)  
Bitstream + The digital audio and HDMI outputs are ‘Bitstream’ (as described above). The  
2 Ch.  
analogue audio will comprise a 2-channel stereo down-mix of the source material.  
Select this option if you are using the digital audio or HDMI outputs to connect to  
your receiver and your receiver supports Dolby Digital decoding.  
PCM +  
2 Ch.  
The digital audio and HDMI outputs are ‘Stereo PCM’ (as described above). The  
analogue audio will comprise a 2-channel stereo down-mix of the source material.  
Select this option if:  
either – you are using stereo analogue output to connect to your amplifier/  
receiver;  
or – you are using the digital audio or HDMI outputs to connect to your receiver  
and your receiver supports only 2-channel PCM.  
Language  
This controls the default audio track, when there is more than one audio track present.  
The default setting is ‘English. Choose the setting you would like as default. Note that the audio-  
language preference setting is not respected by all discs, which may impose their own default choice.  
DV29  
E-15  
Down-sample  
This needs to be set correctly if you are using an external audio decoder, receiver or D-A converter  
connected to the co-axial or optical digital audio output.  
Max 96K  
Max 48K  
Choose this option if your external audio decoder is able to process digital audio  
with a sample rate of up to 96kHz, or if you are not using the digital audio  
outputs. This is the maximum sample rate present on DVD-video discs.  
Choose this option if your external audio decoder is unable to process digital  
audio with a sample rate of up to 96kHz. This is the normal setting for this menu  
item.  
Note that this setting is relevant only to the output from DVD-video discs.  
Compression  
Allows compression of the audio stream to be turned on or off, where ‘On’ is intended for ‘late night’  
listening when large volume changes are not desirable.  
Turning compression on increases the volume of the quiet passages and decreases the volume of the  
louder passages, i.e., the total dynamic range of the audio is reduced. Normally, however, this item is set  
to “Off, to disable compression.  
This menu option affects both the analogue and the HDMI outputs (although note that the HDMI output  
is affected only when carrying multi-channel uncompressed audio, not otherwise). The co-axial and  
optical digital audio outputs are never affected by this menu setting.  
Compression is available only on Dolby Digital recordings.  
Pro Logic II  
Dolby Pro Logic II decoding is designed to produce a 5-channel analogue output from two-channel  
source material. This item can be changed only if the ‘Audio’ menu item (described above) is set  
to ‘Bitstream/6 Ch.  
Pro Logic II decoding  
should be enabled only  
if the analogue audio  
outputs are being used.  
If co-axial/optical digital  
audio or HDMI are in use,  
set this menu item to  
“Off”.  
Set this item to one of the following. Due to the different recording methods used for movies and  
music, it is recommended that the correct decoding mode for your source material is used to  
obtain the best results.  
Off  
No Pro Logic decoding is performed.  
Dolby Pro Logic decoding is performed. Dolby Pro Logic decoding is a legacy mode,  
and we recommend using one of the Pro Logic II decoding options, instead.  
PL  
Movie  
Music  
Movie mode should be used with material marked as ‘Dolby Surround’ encoded.  
Music mode is for use with any stereo music recording. As the optimum decoding  
method varies according to the recording, Music mode allows user adjustment of  
the processing characteristics; information about adjusting the Music mode by  
using ‘Dimension, Centre Width’ and ‘Panorama’ controls can be found below.  
Matrix  
The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode except that the directional  
enhancement logic is turned off. Matrix mode may be used to enhance mono  
signal by making them seem ‘larger.  
Dimension  
(This setting can be adjusted only when Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode is selected.)  
‘Dimension’ allows the user gradually to adjust the soundfield either towards the front or towards the  
rear. If a recording is too spacious or strong from the surrounds, it can be adjusted ‘forward’ to get a  
better balance. Likewise, if a stereo recording is somewhat too ‘narrow’ sounding, it can be adjusted  
toward the rear to get a more enveloping, immersive result. We recommend ‘Dimension’ is set to 0 for  
normal use.

Speaker set-up  
This menu screen allows you to specify the speaker configuration that is connected  
 
either to the analogue ouputs of your DVD player, or to your HDMI receiver when  
the HDMI link is carrying multi-channel uncompressed audio. (If you are using  
the coaxial or optical audio outputs, set all speakers to ‘Large’ or ‘Present.) It is  
important that this configuration reflects accurately the actual situation, otherwise  
audio quality may be severely compromised.

Subwoofer  
This is used to indicate whether a subwoofer is connected.  
For each speaker, the player can be configured to send either audio with the full frequency  
range of the source material, or with a reduced frequency range. The reduced frequency range  
option is used normally when ‘satellite’ speakers are used for the surround channels; these  
cannot handle low frequency information. Full frequency speakers are commonly called ‘Large’  
speakers, with reduced-range speakers given the name ‘Small. Low frequency information is re-  
routed from ‘small’ speakers to ‘large’ speakers, or to the subwoofer (depending on the speaker  
configuration).

2. Although the DV29 is very flexible in the speaker configurations it can handle, some  
restrictions have been applied. For example, if no subwoofer is present, then it is not  
possible to configure the Front speakers to be ‘Small’ since there would be nowhere  
to redirect the low frequency information.  
The connection  
n
between the DV29 and  
your audio device is made  
correctly – if using multi-  
channel analogue output,  
check that the cables  
Stereo+Sub  
This setting is relevant to 2-channel source material only (such as CDs). It controls whether the  
low frequency information is redirected to the subwoofer, or not. This item can be changed only  
if a subwoofer is specified as present in the system.  
have not been swapped.  
None  
No redirection of low-frequency information occurs; all the audio is sent to the  
Front speakers.  
Crossover  
Duplicate  
Low-frequency information is redirected to the subwoofer, with the remaining  
(higher-frequency) information sent to the Front speakers.  
All the audio is sent to the Front speakers. In addition, the low-frequency  
information is duplicated to the subwoofer.  
Crossover Frequency  
This setting defines the frequency at which bass redirection begins. Frequencies below this level are  
redirected from ‘small’ speakers to the Fronts or to the subwoofer; frequencies above this level are not  
redirected. The redirection frequency is the same for all the speakers in a system.  
The optimum crossover frequency depends on the characteristics of your speaker set-up, and is best  
determined by experimentation. We suggest you start at 100Hz.  
Delay set-up  
The delay set-up menu page allows two different type of delay to be configured:  
those due to speaker positioning and those due to video post-processing.  
 
��������  
Speaker positioning  
�  
�  
�  
�  
The relative positioning of speakers within a room (particularly a large room)  
may mean that sound from some speakers arrives at the listener later than  
sound from others. By altering the delay settings for the different speakers,  
this difference in arrival time can be reduced or eliminated.  
�  
��  
 
 
�  
�  
When setting the delay, it should be imagined that the listener is sitting in a  
circle of the speakers; the delay indicates the distance of the speaker from the  
listener.  
�  
Measurement Units  
Your DV29 allows you to choose the measurement units that you feel most  
comfortable with: metres or feet.  
Delays  
Delays for the front, centre and surround speakers can be set using the associated sliders. A delay  
may be necessary for a speaker set if those speakers are further away from the listener than the  
others – specifying the different speaker distances will cause a slight delay to be added to the output  
of the closest speakers so that the sound from all the speakers will arrive at the listener at the same  
time.  
Note that these delay sliders affect only the analogue and the HDMI outputs (although the HDMI  
output is affected only when carrying multi-channel uncompressed audio, not otherwise). The  
coaxial/optical digital audio outputs are never affected by changes here. If you are using these  
digital audio connections between the DV29 and your receiver, set all of the delays to zero.  
DV29  
E-17  
Video post-processing (lip-sync.)  
Delay (NTSC/PAL)  
Modern displays and video scalers often employ digital video processing that can introduce a  
significant video delay. The ‘Delay’ menu items allow correction of this effect by delaying the audio  
soundtrack up to 150 milliseconds. The amount of correction required in a given system is best  
determined by experimentation.  
If the interlaced video outputs of the DV29 are in use and the display is converting the signal to  
progressive scan then we recommend a delay of 50–80ms, depending upon the display.  
n
If the progressive video output of the DV29 is in use, the player corrects automatically for its  
own processing delays and it is unlikely that additional delay will be necessary. Therefore, start  
by setting these items to 0ms (no delay).  
n
Trim set-up  
The relative sensitivity (volume) of different speakers can lead to some speakers  
sounding disproportionately loud or quiet, relative to others in the system. The  
trims setting of your DV29 can help to address this inbalance.  
 
�  
�  
��  
 
�  
�  
�  
�  
�  
�  
This page is relevant only if you are using the analogue audio outputs of the DV29  
to connect to your amplifier/receiver. If this is not the case, set all the trims to be  
0 dB.  
�  
�  
���  
���  
���  
�  
Test Noise  
Setting this item to ‘On’ causes pink noise to be generated from the speaker  
indicated by the on-screen highlight. The noise is at the volume indicated by  
the slider for the speaker. Setting this to ‘On’ may be useful in ensuring that the  
relative volume for each speaker is the same.  
Note that this setting is set automatically to ‘Off’ on exit from this menu page.  
Trims  
Trims for all the speakers can be set using the associated sliders. These settings are useful if the  
speakers have different sensitivities (and so have different volumes for the same input levels). The trims  
can be set in 1dB steps.  
Subwoofer/Stereo+Sub trims  
Both the ‘Subwoofer’ and the ‘Stereo+Sub’ trims control the subwoofer trim setting. ‘Subwoofer’ is the  
trim used when multi-channel material is being played; ‘Stereo+Sub’ is the subwoofer trim used with  
2-channel material.  
Access set-up  
Password  
�����  
The password setting works in conjunction with the rating setting (the next  
menu item) to provide a means of limiting content playback by children (parental  
control).  
��  
��������  
 
���  
You will see there are four dashes and a padlock symbol. Normally the padlock  
symbol will be open and this means the parental control is unlocked. Under this  
condition the rating setting may be freely changed.  
To lock the parental control, choose a suitable four digit number. Don’t forget your  
password as you will need to know it to unlock the player. Highlight ‘Password’ and  
enter your four digit number using the numerical keys on the handset. When all  
four digits have been entered, press OK on the handset. The player is now locked  
and you will not be able to change the rating setting.  
To unlock the parental control, highlight ‘Password’ and enter your four digit number, followed by OK.  
Note that a different pass-code can be selected each time that the player is locked.  
Rating  
The rating setting is used in conjunction with the password to restrict the content of DVD titles that may  
be played. To change this setting the parental control must be unlocked.  
The term ‘Parental level’ refers to a standard defined for DVDs. DVD movies may have a parental level  
between 1 and 8. Note that this only applies to DVD video discs that have the parental level correctly  
implemented. Some DVD video titles do not respond to parental control settings, and Video CDs have no  
mechanism for parental control.  
Once the rating level has been set, DVD titles with parental level higher than the setting will not play.  
Sometimes DVD video titles may be produced that have the parental level set for specific scenes, so a  
disc will play but skip or substitute certain scenes.  
Completing the set-up  
Complete the set-up procedure by pressing SETUP on the remote control. This saves all the data and  
closes the set-up menu. You can press SETUP at any time while in a menu to quit from it.  
To return to the set-up menu at any time, ensure that there is no disc playing and press the SETUP  
button.

Advanced DVD and VCD features  
This section explains the more sophisticated DVD and VCD features, such as special playback modes.  
The operations described here are not exactly the same for DVDs and VCDs, but are similar enough to  
make it appropriate to group them together.  
Note that many VCDs have a single track, so some operations involving tracks will not be relevant.  
Jumping to a particular point  
Press the SRCH button on the remote control to open the ‘Search’ menu:  
���  
��  
If the disc is playing, then the elapsed and total times on the disc are shown in the  
top right of the page.

A jump can be performed using different specifiers: jump to a particular time or to  
a specified chapter/track on the disc.  
�  
Time  
Highlight the ‘Time’ field and enter the time in hours, minutes and seconds, then  
press OK. The Search menu is removed from the screen and playback starts from  
the time specified. Invalid time entries are ignored.  
Title/Chapter  
(Applies to DVDs only) To jump to a title or chapter, highlight the title/chapter  
position and enter the number of the title/chapter to jump to, before pressing OK.  
It is possible to jump to a chapter within a different title to the current one by entering a value into both  
fields. Note that specifying a title without a chapter will jump to the first chapter in the title.  
Group/Track  
(Applicable to DVD-audio discs only.) To jump to a group or track, highlight the group/track position and  
enter the number of the group/track to jump to, before pressing OK. It is possible to jump to a track  
within a different group to the current one by entering a value into both fields. Note that specifying a  
group without a track will jump to the first track in the group.  
Track  
(Applies to VCDs only) To jump to a specified track on a VCD, enter the track number in the ‘Track’ field,  
then press OK. Note that many VCDs have only one track.  
Closing the Search menu  
When displayed, this menu screen can be closed again by pressing the SRCH button (which also has the  
effect of cancelling the search).  
Special playback modes  
Playback modes are available that allow repeat, shuffle and programmed playback.  
Repeat  
Press the RPT button on the remote control to cycle through the repeat options. For DVDs, a chapter or  
title repeat may be selected (i.e., play continuously the current chapter or the current title). For VCDs, a  
track or disc repeat is available.  
When a chapter/track repeat is selected, the loop symbol on the front panel display is illuminated and  
the current chapter/track is repeated. If a title/disc repeat is selected, the loop symbol and ‘ALL’ are  
illuminated and the current title/disc is repeated.  
To cancel repeat, press the RPT button until ‘Repeat: Off’ is displayed.  
Shuffle  
Press the P MODE button on the remote control to switch shuffle play on.  
The ‘RAND’ (random play) indicator shows on the display, and the chapters/tracks are played in random  
order.  
To cancel random play, press the P MODE button for a second time.  
A-B repeat  
The DV29 can repeat a specific section of a DVD or VCD; this is called an A-B repeat.  
To perform an A-B repeat, wait until the disc is at the point where you want the repeat to start, then  
press A-B. The OSD shows a repeat symbol, followed by ‘A–, and the front panel shows ‘A–.  
Press A-B again at the point you want the repeat to end. The repeat symbol, followed by ‘A-B’ is shown  
on the display device, and the front panel shows ‘A-B. The selected section is repeated in a loop.  
To cancel the A-B repeat, press A-B again. An ‘Off’ message is displayed on the OSD.

Program (DVD-audio)  
The programming of a sequence for a DVD-audio disc is essentially the same as for a DVD-video disc,  
and the instructions given above should be followed. For DVD-audio discs, the ‘titles with chapters’  
combination found on DVD-video discs changes to ‘groups with tracks.  
Programmed playback (VCD)  
The bottom of the screen shows the number of tracks present on the disc. Below this is an information  
line, giving relevant information for the cursor position.  
You can enter a sequence of up to 20 tracks for programmed playback. If you enter data that is invalid  
for the current disc, the field is erased automatically.  
To program the player, highlight the first entry (using the cursor pad on the remote control), then press  
the number of the track you want to play first. To enter a second track, move down, then type the  
number of the second track to play, etc. To enter a track number greater than 9, press the two digits  
sequentially (e.g., for track 10, first press 1, then press 0).  
General  
To play the programme you have entered, highlight the ‘Play’ button on the screen and press OK. The  
‘PROG’ indicator shows in the display and the programmed sequence begins.  
If you make a mistake while programming, you can clear a single field by highlighting it and pressing  
CLEAR. To clear all the fields at once, highlight the ‘Clear All’ button on the screen and press OK.  
To stop the programmed sequence and return to normal playback, select the PLAY button in the  
programme menu with no programme specified. This clears the programme mode and cause normal  
playback order to be resumed.  
Note that skipping forward or back through tracks while in programmed play mode skips through the  
programmed sequence.

Advanced MP3/WMA/JPEG and audio-CD  
features  
The DV29 DVD player has the ability to handle MP3, WMA and JPEG files, when these are burned on to  
a CD-R or CD-RW disc. Picture/Photo CDs are also playable. These file types may be mixed together, if  
desired.  
This section explains the more sophisticated CD-based features, for audio CDs and for CD-ROM discs  
containing MP3, WMA and JPEG files. The operation for audio-CDs and other CD-ROMs is very similar,  
except that CD-ROMs can have directories and sub-directories, while audio-CDs do not have a directory  
structure.  
In this section of the document, we use the term ‘CD-ROM’ to refer to a CD-R or CD-RW disc containing  
MP3, WMA or JPEG files, and including Picture/Photo CDs.  
All of these advanced features use on-screen menus, so a Display device monitor is required.  
Screen layout  
When an audio-CD or CD-ROM is detected by the DVD player, the disc navigator screen is displayed.  
The screen shown above is the disc navigator screen, in this example showing a CD-R containing MP3  
files. The following items can be identified:  
1 The user command indicator.  
2 The mode of the player. This is described in more detail  
below.  
3 The current track number and the total number of  
����������������  
tracks in this directory (for CD-ROMs), or on the whole

directory to one level above the current one. This button  
is not shown for audio-CDs, or if the current directory is  
at the top level.  
7 ‘PAF’ – Play All Files on the disc. Starting from the first  
valid file/track, all valid files/tracks on the disc are  
played, in the order found.  
8 ‘PD’ – Play Directory. (CD-ROMs only). Starting from the first valid file in the current directory,  
all the (valid) files in the current directory are played.  
9 The names of the tracks in this directory. For audio-CDs, the text ‘Track 1’, etc., is shown here.  
For CD-ROMs, the text shown here is based on the file name of the track.  
bk When playing CD-ROMs, the full name of the file being played is displayed here (subject to  
screen space).  
bl When playing CD-ROMs, tag information from MP3 and WMA files is displayed here, if present on  
the disc.  
bm Helpful messages to the user are displayed here. When the disc is loaded, the PAF button (7)  
is highlighted. This means that loading the disc and pressing PLAY or OK is enough to set the  
disc playing.  
Player mode  
When playing audio-CDs or CD-ROMs, the player can be in one of three modes:  
Browse mode: the user is free to navigate around the disc directory structure (while playback is  
stopped). Valid files/tracks in each directory (audio-CD tracks or files that can be played) are displayed  
on the screen. Pressing PLAY while the cursor is on a valid file/track will start playback from that point,  
continuing to the end of the disc. Alternatively, the ‘PD’ or ‘PAF’ buttons can be used to start playback.  
Programme mode: Press PROG on the remote control to enter ‘Programme’ mode to choose the  
order in which the files/tracks are played. Playback must be stopped first. ‘Programme’ mode operates  
differently for audio-CDs and MP3 discs, and is explained on page 22.  
Playlist mode: The player is in this mode when a programmed sequence of files/tracks is being played.  
No navigation of the disc may be performed in this mode; the player starts at the beginning of the  
programmed playlist and plays through to the end.  
DV29  
E-21  
Browsing the disc (Browse mode)  
By default, the disc navigator is in ‘Browse’ mode. In this mode, the user can navigate around the disc  
(using the cursor pad for direction and ‘OK’ to select an option). When a file/track is highlighted, the tag  
information for that file (if available) is displayed in the lower portion of the screen. Use the ‘Up’ button  
to move to a higher-level directory; to enter a lower-level directory, press OK when the directory name is  
highlighted.  
At any time, press PLAY or OK to begin playback from the file/track highlighted currently. Navigation  
around the current directory is possible during playback, but playback stops automatically if you attempt  
to navigate out of the current directory. Please note the following:  
Fast forward and fast rewind do not work with MP3 or WMA playback.  
n
Skipping forward past the end of a directory with CD-ROMs causes playback to continue from the  
next directory containing valid files. Skip-back can be performed only as far as the beginning of  
the current directory.  
n
Directory trees may be up to 10 directories deep.  
n
Long file names, of up to 64 characters (Joliet standard), are supported.  
n
Only sample rates of 44.1kHz and 48kHz are supported for MP3 and WMA files.  
n
For MP3 playback, the following constant bit rates are supported: 32, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 160,  
192, 256 and 320 kilobits per second. Variable bit rate (VBR) between 96kb/s and 320kb/s is  
also supported.  
n
For WMA playback, the following constant bit rates are supported: 48, 64, 80, 96, 128, 160 and  
192kb/s.  
n
CD-ROM discs may contain files other than MP3, WMA or JPEGs, but these are not displayed on  
the screen.  
n
Because of differences in the many MP3 and WMA encoders available, we recommend that you conduct a  
test recording before transferring large numbers of MP3 files to CD-R or CD-RW for subsequent playback  
on the DV29.

To stop the programmed sequence and return to normal playback, select the ‘Play’ button in the  
programme menu with no programme specified. This clears programme mode and causes normal  
playback order to be resumed.  
Note that in programmed playback mode, skipping track forward or back skips forward or back through  
the programmed sequence.  
The player returns to ‘Browse’ mode if no programme has been entered when PROG is pressed for a  
second time.  
Programmed playback (CD-ROM)  
Pressing the PROG button on the remote control stops playback (if active) and changes the player mode  
to ‘Programme’ mode (as indicated at point  
).

Appendix: Serial programming interface  
Introduction  
This section of the document describes the remote control protocol for controlling the DV29 via the  
RS232 interface.  
Conventions  
The remote controller is referred to as the ‘RC, with the DV29 called the ‘DV29.  
n
All values in this section are hexadecimal values, unless otherwise specified.  
n
Data transfer format  
Transfer rate: 19,200bps.  
n
1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no flow control.  
n
Command and response formats  
Communication between the RC and the DV29 takes the form of sequences of ASCII characters, with  
all commands and responses having the same basic format. With the exception of status triggers (see  
below), the DV29 shall transmit only to respond to communication from the RC. The DV29 shall always  
respond to a received command.  
Each transmission by the RC shall be five bytes long in the following format:  
<STR> <CC> <P1> <P2> <ETR>  
STR (Start transmission): 0x21  
n
CC (Command code): the code for the command  
n
Px (Parameter code): the parameters for the command  
n
ETR (End transmission): 0xD  
n
Each response by the DV29 shall be seven bytes long in the following format:  
<STR> <RC> <AC> <P1> <P2> <P3> <ETR>  
STR (Start transmission): 0x21  
n
RC (Reply code): = command code  
n
AC (Answer code): answer code (see below)  
n
Px (Parameter code): the parameters for the reponse  
n
ETR (End transmission): 0xD  
n
The RC shall transmit commands and receive answers according to the following procedure:  
1. The RC shall transmit a command.  
2. Having issued a command, the RC shall wait at least 100ms before transmitting a subsequent  
command (otherwise commands may be lost). Ideally, the RC shall wait for an answer from the  
DV29 before issuing the next command.  
3. The RC shall analyse the RC, AC and Px values of a received message to decide whether the  
command has been executed normally.  
4. The time from the completion of command transmission by the RC to the beginning of the  
response by the DV29 shall be maximum two seconds.  
5. The DV29 shall not accept any commands from the RC for five seconds after the power switch is  
turned on or a ‘power-on’ command is recieved.  
The exception to the above communication protocol is when ‘status triggers’ are enabled by the RC (using  
the ‘Status Triggers’ command). In this case, the DV29 shall transmit messages whenever the status of  
the player changes. These messages shall be transmitted by the DV29 at asynchronous intervals.  
State changes as a result of other inputs  
It is possible that the state of the DV29 may be changed as a result of user input via the front panel  
buttons or via the IR remote control. Changes resulting from these inputs shall be relayed to the RC  
(using the appropriate message type) only if ‘status triggers’ have been enabled by the RC.  
For example, if the user changed the front panel display brightness using the DISP button on the remote  
control, a display message (defined below) would be sent to the RC. A similar action would be taken for  
all other state changes.  
Answer codes  
The following answer codes are defined:  
Command OK  
‘@’ (0x40): The command has been accepted and processed completely.  
‘A’ (0x41): The command has been accepted but not yet processed fully.

Invalid request  
‘B’ (0x42): Status change message  
‘0’ (0x30): The command or command format was invalid

If the answer code returned is anything other than ‘Command OK’ or ‘Status update’ then all parameter  
fields in the return message become ‘reserved.
