Sherbourn Technologies PT-7010A owner manual Software Menu

When enabled, a “pop-up” message appears on your TV any time the volume (including mute or on-the fly trims), source, or surround mode are changed. The OSD circuit in the PT-7010A is not switched into the video path unless called up by an OSD action. This allows for the best possible video reproduction quality. When the OSD display activates, it is normal to see a slight flicker on the screen. This menu allows you to choose which, if any features, are enabled for OSD features after initial setup of the PT- 7010A.

Note: The OSD “pop-up” does not function on the component video output. This is intentional, as we feel that the OSD insertion circuitry will degrade the performance of the component video circuitry due to the ultra wide bandwidth requirement for optimal component video performance.

VIDEO DEFAULT

Select the video output where the “pop-up” text appears, either S or composite video, but not both. The full OSD is not affected by this menu item, as it is available on both.

VID2/MON2 OUT

VID2: the VCR2/MON2 outputs can be used for recording to a second VCR. There is no OSD, and the output is muted when VID2 is chosen as an input (to prevent feedback). MON2: the VCR2/MON2 output becomes a second monitor output (with OSD) for another TV. It will not mute when VID2 is chosen.

VIDEO DELAY

This adjustment is useful if you have an external video processor in your system. Video signals may become delayed with respect to the audio signals. Although it is called Video Delay, it is actually a delay adjustment of the audio signals relative to the video signals. Use the remote’s joystick pad to adjust the delay in one millisecond steps. An equal amount of delay time is added to all audio channels.

Note: The speakers keep their relative time delay settings which the PT-7010A calculates from the Speaker Position Menu settings. The video delay is just added on top. Leave the video delay at zero if you do not have an external video processor or if you detect any noticeable synchronization problems with dialogue.

This menu is used to show the current revision levels of system software within your PT-7010A. It also allows the PT-7010A Flash memory software to be upgraded by use of the RS-232 port.

Please note that to accomplish the software upgrade, you will need to connect the PT-7010A to a computer with a serial cable (DB-9 type). The latest version of the PT- 7010A software is available on the Sherbourn website. You will need to download this to your computer before connecting and upgrading the PT-7010A.

For detailed instructions on this procedure and to check for the latest software version, please visit the Sherbourn website at www.Sherbourn.com.

CONTROL Menu

In most cases, there is no need to change these settings (all enabled by default). You should make any changes with caution. This menu allows you to enable or disable the RS-232 port and the rear panel IR remote control connections. The front panel IR receiver can also be disabled if required, but make sure the rear panel IR receiver is working correctly and is still active before doing this.

The front panel IR can be re-enabled by holding down the remote’s MENU button for several seconds, while pointing it at the front IR window.
