REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS We strongly recommend that plasma and CRT owners use the Video Off function liberally. Press the button a second time to reactivate the video displays. NOTE: The DVD 48 features a screen saver that you may set to appear automatically after a period of inactivity. However, the screen saver does not become activated when the DVD 48's Setup menus are on screen. The DVD 48 also allows you to set one of two Auto Power Off modes in the GENERAL SETUP menu that turn off the DVD 48 after a longer period of inactivity. See the Initial Setup section for more information. Dimmer: Some people find the front-panel displays distracting, especially while watching a movie in a darkened room. Each press of this button cycles through the Full Brightness, Half Brightness and Off settings. The Power Indicator will always remain lit to remind you that the DVD 48 is turned on. NOTE: You may enter commands and operate the DVD 48 normally even with the front-panel display fully dimmed. The display will wake for about one second when a command is entered. Audio Mode: This button adjusts the Analog Output setting, which is also found in the AUDIO SETUP menu. There are two available settings: Multichannel and Stereo. The first button press displays the current setting, and each additional press toggles between the settings. The Stereo, or 2-Channel, setting outputs a 2-channel downmixed signal to both sets of Left/Right Analog Audio Outputs. The downmix incorporates center and surround channel information, but no signal is available at the center or surround jacks of the 6-Channel Analog Audio Outputs. The Multichannel, or 6-Channel, setting outputs only the front left and right channel information to both sets of Left/Right Analog Audio Outputs. Although the correct signals are available at all of the 6-Channel Analog Audio Output jacks, the 2-Channel Analog Audio Outputs will contain incomplete information. The DVD 48 does not make a 2-channel downmix available at the 2-Channel Analog Audio Outputs simultaneously with a multichannel signal at the 6-Channel Analog Audio Outputs. HDMI: Press this button to turn the HDMI Output on or off. When the HDMI Output is on, the Component Video Outputs are off. If your video display is HDMI-capable, turn this setting on and use the HDMI connection. If your video display does not have an HDMI input, turn this setting off to use the Component Video Outputs. 16 16

REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
We strongly recommend that plasma and CRT owners use the Video Off
function liberally. Press the button a second time to reactivate the video
displays.
NOTE:
The DVD 48 features a screen saver that you may set
to appear automatically after a period of inactivity. However, the
screen saver does not become activated when the DVD 48’s
Setup menus are on screen. The DVD 48 also allows you to set
one of two Auto Power Off modes in the GENERAL SETUP
menu that turn off the DVD 48 after a longer period of inactivity.
See the Initial Setup section for more information.
Dimmer:
Some people find the front-panel displays distracting,
especially while watching a movie in a darkened room. Each press of
this button cycles through the Full Brightness, Half Brightness and Off
settings. The Power Indicator will always remain lit to remind you that
the DVD 48 is turned on.
NOTE:
You may enter commands and operate the DVD 48
normally even with the front-panel display fully dimmed. The
display will wake for about one second when a command
is entered.
Audio Mode:
This button adjusts the Analog Output setting, which
is also found in the AUDIO SETUP menu.
There are two available settings: Multichannel and Stereo. The first
button press displays the current setting, and each additional press
toggles between the settings.
The Stereo, or 2-Channel, setting outputs a 2-channel downmixed signal to
both sets of Left/Right Analog Audio Outputs. The downmix incorporates
center and surround channel information, but no signal is available at the
center or surround jacks of the 6-Channel Analog Audio Outputs.
The Multichannel, or 6-Channel, setting outputs only the front left and
right channel information to both sets of Left/Right Analog Audio Outputs.
Although the correct signals are available at all of the 6-Channel Analog
Audio Output jacks, the 2-Channel Analog Audio Outputs will contain
incomplete information.
The DVD 48 does not make a 2-channel downmix available at the
2-Channel Analog Audio Outputs simultaneously with a multichannel signal
at the 6-Channel Analog Audio Outputs.
HDMI:
Press this button to turn the HDMI Output on or off. When the HDMI
Output is on, the Component Video Outputs are off. If your video display is
