INITIAL SETUP
Screen Saver: Turn this setting on to prevent permanent “burn-in”
damage to a plasma or CRT video display when the same still image is
left on screen for more than a minute or two. This can happen when a
video disc is paused, a JPEG file is left on screen or when a menu is
left on screen.

Step Five – Audio Setup
The Audio Setup menu is used to set the parameters for digital audio
playback.
Digital Output: This setting depends on the capabilities of your audio/
video receiver, the type of digital audio connection and the surround
sound mode encoded on the disc. In addition, the setting may need to
be changed to hear secondary tracks on the disc, such as a director’s
commentary. For simplicity, if the BDP 10 is connected to a receiver
via the HDMI Output, leave this setting at its default of “PCM 7.1”, and
the BDP 10 will automatically convert source programs into the format
the receiver is capable of processing. You may adjust it at any time to
improve audio performance. See Table A6 in the appendix for more
information.
• PCM 7.1: When an HDMI connection to a receiver is used, select
this setting to hear both the main soundtrack and any secondary
tracks on the disc. All bitstream sources, including Dolby TrueHD
and DTS-HD Master Audio, will be decoded and output in the PCM
format.
• Bitstream Native: This setting delivers superior audio performance
of the main soundtrack, but must be temporarily changed to hear
2-channel secondary tracks.
n
When an HDMI connection to a receiver is used, and the receiver
supports the Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio surround
modes, select this setting to hear the main soundtrack only with
superior audio performance. To hear secondary soundtracks,
change this setting temporarily to “PCM 7.1”.
n
When the Coaxial or Optical Digital Audio Output is connected to a
receiver, select this setting to hear the main soundtrack only, when
encoded in Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital Plus modes. To hear
secondary soundtracks, change this setting temporarily to “PCM 7.1”.
• DTS Transcoded: This setting delivers both the main soundtrack
and any secondary 2-channel soundtracks. Dolby tracks are output
in the DTS 5.1 format.
• PCM Stereo: Use this setting when the BDP 10 is connected
directly to a TV, when only the Analog Audio Outputs are used, or
when only two loudspeakers are connected to the receiver.
PCM Downsampling: Configures the Coaxial and Optical Digital
Audio Outputs to match the bitrate capability of the surround receiver.
If the BDP 10 is connected directly to a TV, or if it is connected by
the HDMI or Analog Audio Outputs, leave this setting at the default
“48kHz”, as it has no effect. If the BDP 10 is connected via the Coaxial
or Optical Digital Audio Output to a surround receiver that is capable
of processing high-bitrate audio, change this setting to “96kHz”. If
the receiver cannot process high-bitrate audio, leave this setting at
“48kHz” to avoid undesirable results.
Dynamic Range Ctrl: Reduces the loudness of louder passages to
avoid disturbing others, while maintaining the intelligibility of dialogue.
This setting has no effect unless either the Analog Audio Outputs are
in use, or the Digital Output has been set to either “DTS Transcoded”
or “PCM”.
• Off: Audio plays at normal levels.
• Auto: Dynamic range control is on for all soundtracks except Dolby
TrueHD, where it is on only if the program is encoded with dynamic
range control, also known as “Night Mode”.
• On: Dynamic range control is on for all soundtracks.

Step Six – System Setup
Use the System Setup menu to program Parental Control and other
settings.
Auto Play: When Auto Play is on and a disc is loaded in the BDP 10,
the disc will automatically begin playing when the BDP 10 is turned
on. Turn this setting off to require disc playback to be started manually
from the Media Launcher menu.
Auto Standby: When this setting is on, the BDP 10 will automatically
power off after 25 minutes of inactivity to conserve energy. This setting
may be turned off, and the BDP 10 will remain on indefinitely.
Change Password: The BDP 10 is programmed at the factory with
a default password of “0000”. It is recommended that you program a
new password for greater privacy. When you select this setting, enter
the default password (“0000”), then enter the new password twice,
once for “New Password” and once for “Confirm Password”. The
BDP 10 will display an asterisk for each keypress.
Parental Control: Turns the Parental Control function on or off to
block access to encoded discs or to allow free viewing. This setting is
only effective for ratings-encoded discs. You will always be prompted
to enter the password before changing this setting.
Parental Control Level: With Parental Control turned on, set the
lowest rating level that will require a password to view the program.
The ratings are similar to the Motion Picture Association of America
(MPAA) film ratings, but add three levels: “Kid Safe”, which is below
the MPAA’s “G” rating; “PG-R”, which is intermediate between the
MPAA’s “PG” and “R” ratings; and “Adult”, which covers materials
deemed stronger than the “NC-17” rating. Visit the MPAA Web site at
www.mpaa.org for more information on film ratings.
