CENTER DELAY Button (remote only) 36

The CENTER DELAY button works like the SURROUND DELAY but- ton above, except that it increases the delay the center channel speaker, if present. CENTER DELAY is only available in Dolby Digital surround mode. The CENTER DELAY button steps sequen- tially through five available settings (O, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ms).

NOTE: The CENTER DELAY setting is system-wide. Changing it will increase or decrease the relative delay time for all inputs in Dolby Digital surround mode. The setting is automatically memorized as it is made.

You will get visual confirmation of your delay time setting on the VOLUME DISPLAY as you adjust the setting. The delay time setting also appears in the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY (see below).

DYNAMIC Button (remote only) 37

This button is used to reduce the dynamic range to accommodate program material that could tax your system or for low-volume lis- tening. This feature is only available in Dolby Digital surround mode.

Press the button repeatedly to step through the four available set- tings: NONE (full dynamic range), 25% reduction, 50% reduction, and 75% reduction. While making the adjustment, the setting will appear in the VOLUME display. The setting is also shown in the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY (see below).

A front-panel LED lights to indicate that the dynamic range has been reduced.

BACK/BALANCE CHECK (remote only) 41

The BACK button on the remote control is used during initial cali- bration of relative speaker volume levels. Generally, it is only used during initial setup of the system and not during normal operation.

To enter the BALANCE CHECK calibration, press and hold the BACK button for 2 seconds. The following screen will appear on your TV monitor, for adjusting the relative volume levels of the front, center, and rear speakers, along with the subwoofer.

will disappear after all six speakers have been highlighted and you may need to re-enter the menu by pressing and holding the BACK button.

While seated in the normal listening location, switch the test tone to the various speakers and listen to hear if any are noticeably louder or quieter than the front speakers. If so, adjust the quieter speakers volume levels up or down to match the louder speakers using the VOL UP/DOWN remote buttons, while the speaker you wish to adjust is highlighted. Continue switching among the speakers and adjusting until all of the speakers are approximately the same volume (or to suit your listening preference).

This setting will be memorized when you leave the menu and will become the system-wide default setting.

ENTER/OUTPUT BALANCE (remote only) 42

The ENTER button on the remote control has a similar function to the BALANCE CHECK calibration described above, except that its adjustments are temporary and apply only to the selected source input. As soon as you select a different source, the settings revert to the system-wide defaults as set during the BALANCE CHECK calibration.

NOTE: Although these adjustments can be made directly using the ENTER button, we strongly recommend that you only make these adjustments from the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY system. For this rea- son, the instructions are included in the section on the ON- SCREEN DISPLAY (see below).

RECALL Button 33

You can temporarily reset the OUTPUT BALANCE settings to 0dB for all speakers at any time by pressing the RECALL button on the remote control. The memorized sytem-wide settings will be acti- vated when you switch to a different LISTENING SOURCE input.

ON-SCREEN Button (remote only) 35

Push this button to turn on the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY. If the ON- SCREEN DISPLAY is already visible, push this button once or twice to cancel the display. See next section for details.

When the menu appears, the L/F speaker label will be flashing and you will hear a test tone coming from that speaker. You can select the other speakers by sequentially pressing the BACK button. The test tone will shift accordingly to the selected speaker. The menu
