sound to the speakers and headphones. Mute mode is indicated by “MUTING” flashing in red in the dis- play area. Press MUTE again to restore sound. Mute does not affect recordings made using the Tape out- puts but will affect the signal going to the Audio Pre- outs.

NOTE:

When the unit is in mute mode, any adjustment of the VOLUME CONTROL on the front panel (No.9) will release the muting, i.e. the original volume level will be resumed.

4. MASTER VOLUME

Master Volume 3 or 4 respectively increases or decreases the volume setting for all speakers. The display panel will indicate the level set. The Volume control does not affect recordings made using the Tape and Video, or Tape, Video 3 and Video 4 out- puts but will affect the signal going to the Pre-amp output (Audio Pre Out).

5. CURSOR 3 , 4, 1 AND 2 AND ENTER

The four Cursor buttons are used to navigate the cursor when using the menus with the On Screen Display and the ENTER is used to confirm the choice. Press 3 to move cursor up, 4 to move cursor down,

1to move cursor left, 2 to move cursor right. Then press ENTER to access.

With the four cursor buttons the relative volume level trims for center, left and right surround channels can be adjusted. Press the CHANNEL button (No. 7) to select the channel for which you wish to adjust the level.

Refer also to chapter “On Screen Display” and “Setting Up the Surround Sound System” for more information.

7. CHANNEL SELECT

Although the T 751 is correctly set-up it may some- times be desirable to make minor adjustments to suit particular software. Pressing the CHANNEL button allows for direct adjustment of Center, Rear and Subwoofer levels. Press the CHANNEL button to scroll to the next speaker. Both display panel and OSD show which speaker can be adjusted. Use the cursor 1 and 2 button to respectively decrease or increase the level for the current speaker.

Pressing the CHANNEL button also gives access to CHANNEL BALANCE in the OSD directly:

CENTER REAR R & L SUB OFF

8. DYNAMIC RANGE

The DYN. R button, which can be used only in combination with a Dolby Digital source, incremental- ly reduces the audio track’s dynamic range in four steps (100%, 75%, 50% and 25%) to allow for com- fortable listening under a variety of conditions. The normal or default position is 100%.

To adjust the dynamic range, each consecutive press of the DYN. R button will reduce the value in 25% increments, as shown in the alpha-numeric dis- play section.

NOTE:

Although we usually prefer to reproduce a source’s full dynamic range (the difference between very loud and very soft sounds), it may occasionally be desir- able to reduce the dynamic range. For example, when playing a movie late at night, loud explosions might wake sleeping family members. Simply turning the volume control down would probably make a whisper in the next scene inaudible. The DYN. R but- ton solves this dilemma by progressively lowering the volume of loud peaks while increasing the level of softer sounds.

6. TEST

Pressing the TEST button, engages the Test signal generator to allow for adjustment of all speaker lev- els, so that each channel can be adjusted for equal loudness at your listening position. The test signal scrolls automatically with 5-second intervals from Front Left, Center, Front Right, Rear Right, Rear Left, to subwoofer in continuous cycles. If an adjustment in setting is made for one of the speakers, scrolling will stop until 5 seconds after the adjustment was made. Both display panel and OSD show which speaker is being fed with the test signal. Use the cursor 1 and 2 button to respectively decrease or increase the level for the current speaker. Press the TEST button again to leave or cancel the Test mode, any changes will be memorized automatically.
