System Configuration

The OUT ASPECT RATIO line sets the aspect ratio for the input source currently being adjusted. To make a change from the default setting, press the /Navigation Buttons DF. Remember that this setting impacts the actual playback only. The on-screen menus will always be output as a 4:3 signal, though they may be stretched to 16:9 by a setting available in your video display.

BRIGHTNESS: The changes to this setting are similar to the Brightness control on your dis- play, changing the video level. If circumstances are such that a source has a low signal and appears dark you may wish to change this set- ting, but be careful not to increase it to the point where the video display is over-driven into clipping or blooming.

CONTRAST: The changes to this setting are similar to the Contrast control on your display, changing the white level to compensate for poor contrast.

SATURATION: The changes to this setting are similar to the Color control on your display, and may be used as needed to compensate for over or under color saturation.

When all settings on this sub-menu page that require adjustment have been made, use the /Navigation Buttons DF to move the on- screen cursor next to PAGE 1 and then press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q to return to the previous ADVANCED CONFIGURATION settings page, or move the on-screencursor next to the TO VIDEO MAIN line to return to the main Video menu.

Audio Setup

This menu allows you to configure the tone con- trols. If you do not wish to change any of those settings at this time, proceed to the next menu screen. However, to make configuration changes to those parameters, make certain that the MASTER MENU is on the screen with the cursor pointing to the AUDIO SETUP line, and press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q. The AUDIO SETUP menu (Figure 7) will appear.

The first line controls whether or not the bass/treble tone controls are in the signal path. The normal default is for them to be in-line, but if you wish to remove them from the circuit for “flat” response, first make certain that the cursor is pointing to the TONE line on the menu and press the / Navigation Button DF so that OUT is highlighted in reverse video.

If you wish to leave the tone controls in the sig- nal path, the amount off boost or cut for bass and treble may be adjusted by pressing the /¤ Navigation Button DF so that the

cursor is next to the line for the setting you wish to adjust. Next, press the / Navigation Button DF until the desired setting is shown.

When all desired changes have been made on this menu, press the /¤ Navigation Button DF so that the cursor is next to the BACK T O MAIN MENU line and press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q.

Surround Setup

The next step for that input is to set the surround mode you wish to use with that input. Since sur- round modes are a matter of personal taste, feel free to select any mode you wish – you may change it later. The Surround Mode chart on page 42 may help you select the mode best suited to the input source selected. For example you may select Dolby Pro Logic II or Logic 7 for most ana- log inputs and Dolby Digital for inputs connected to digital sources. In the case of inputs such as a CD Player, Tape Deck or Tuner, you may wish to set the mode to Stereo, if that is your preferred listening mode for standard stereo sources, where it is unlikely that surround encoded materi- al will be used. Alternatively, the 5 Channel Stereo or Logic 7 Music mode may also be a good choice for stereo-only source material.

It is easiest to complete the surround setup using the full-OSDon-screen menus. From the MASTER menu (Figure 1), press the /¤ buttons DF until the cursor is next to the SURROUND SELECT menu. Press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q so that the SURROUND SELECT menu (Figure 8) is on the screen.

The first line on the menu allows you to select the input for which the specific surround settings will be applied. Press the /Navigation Buttons DF to select the input source to be configured.

The AUDIO IN-PORT and AUDIO IN lines are for display only and may not be changed through the SURROUND SETUP menu. The AUDIO IN-PORT displays the physical connection source for the current active input, and the AUDIO IN line shows the sig- nal type present. Note that an UNLOCK mes- sage in the AUDIO IN line indicates that a digital physical input source has been selected, but that no data stream is present.

When the input selection has been made, press the /¤ Navigation Button DF to move to the next configuration line.

The ADC SAMPLING line is where you determine whether the unit’s upsampling feature is turned on or off. The default setting of 48kHz puts the feature in a bypass, or “off,” mode and will pass digital audio data through the DSP at its native sample rate. To process incoming 44.1kHz signals at a higher resolution, upsam- pled 96kHz sample rate, press the /Navigation Buttons DF once so that 96kHz is highlighted.

When the desired setting has been made, or if no adjustment is required at this line, press the /¤ Navigation Button DF to move to the next configuration line.

The SURR MODE and SELECT lines are related, as they guide you to the choice of the surround mode that will be activated whenever the input being configured is selected.

At the SURR MODE line, press the /Navigation Buttons DF to select the sur- round mode group (such as Dolby modes, DTS modes, Logic 7 modes, and DSP or Stereo modes) that is applicable to the input source. After mak- ing a selection, press the /¤ Navigation Button DF to move to the SELECT line.

At the SELECT line, you are able to choose the specific mode to be used from within the major surround mode group. The choice of modes is governed by the input type (as some modes such as Dolby Digital or DTS-ES are not available for analog sources), as well as by the speaker configuration, since some modes are only available when a full 7.1 speaker complement is present. The full list of available modes is detailed in the surround mode chart on page 42. In addition, you may also use the settings in the SURROUND CONFIG menus to delete modes you do not normally use from the available choices.
