For an analogue input or when no Dolby Digital or DTS signal is detected, pressing the MODE button cycles through the available
surround sound modes; for Dolby Digital or DTS signals, the mode button cycles through the processing modes available for these types of signal. All of the available modes are detailed later in this handbook, starting on page 26.
The selected mode is displayed in the main section of the display for three seconds, before reverting to show the current volume. The surround mode continues to be shown on the display.
Treble/Bass
These allow you to alter temporarily the bass and treble controls for all currently active speakers. In the case of Stereo, this would only apply to the front left and right speakers. In Effects, Pro Logic IIx Music, Dolby Digital and DTS modes (for example), this would apply to all present speakers.
You can adjust the bass and treble by up to ±6dB. These adjustments are in addition to those made in ‘Speaker Eq’ in the

Remote control buttons
In addition to the buttons detailed above, the following remote control buttons are also relevant.
SUB
This button on the remote allows adjustment of the Sub woofer volume. Press SUB, then adjust using the D and E buttons on the navigation pad.
INFO
This button has the same effect as the RDS button on the front panel. See below for details of its operation.
SYN
Delays may be introduced into the video signal by external video processing equipment which causes a mismatch between the audio and video timing. You will notice this by speech sound being out of synchronisation with the lip movements in the video.
To compensate for this you can adjust the lip sync audio delay. Press SYN and use the D and E navigation buttons to change the delay.
See page 22 for a full explanation of this feature.
TRM
This allows temporary adjustment of the speaker levels. Press TRM to access the OSD ‘Speaker Trims’ menu, using the navigation buttons to adjust the levels required. Press again to exit the trim function.
