How to Operate the MVP851, con’t
Digital Re-Master Processing
The optional Digital Re-Mastering Enhancement Circuitry
in the MVP851 can improve the sound quality from Audio
CDs by extending the frequency response beyond 20kHz.
There are three different settings for the Digital Re-Master-
ing. Digital Re-Mastering Setting 1 is intended to improve
the Sound of Pop and Rock Music, Setting 2 for Jazz types
of Music and Setting 3 for Classical Music.
Pressing the Front Panel RE-MASTER Push-button
once will select Setting 1. Refer to figure 83. Two presses
of the Push-button will activate Setting 2 and three presses
for Setting 3. The fourth press of the RE-MASTER Push-
button switch Off the Digital Re-Mastering Enhancement
Circuitry.
Reset of Microprocessors
In the event the controls of the MVP851 stop functioning,
place the POWER Switch in the Off position for 1 minute,
then back On. This will reset the MVP851 microproces-
sors.
Video Settings
A MVP851 option allows the adjustment of various video
parameters, not unlike what can be adjusted on a TV/Moni-
tor (e.g. Brightness, Contrast, Sharpness and Color Level,
etc.). Once these adjustments have been made for a given
DVD Disc, the MVP851 will store into memory the new
settings. Every time that disc is played the preferences
stored in memory will be reapplied automatically. Up to
200 different discs with their unique settings are stored in
memory. If the last disc played had ajustments made to it,
the next disc played will start with those settings.
There are four different Preset Video Settings Options
available N, S, F and C that may be selected. In addition,
there are four On-Screen Video Adjustment Menus avail-
able, U1 through U4, with separate individual adjustments.
1. Press the DISPLAY Push-button twice to access the
second On Screen Icon.
2. Press the Up directional Push-button to select the
Digital Picture Mode. Refer to figure 84.
3. Press the Right direc-
tional Push-button to
highlight the Icon to the
right (Monitor) and up/
down arrows will appear
on the icon.
