System Configuration

Once the reference level has been established, press the

ÛMenu Control button i so that Center is highlighted. Adjust the sound level using the Ü or Ý Menu Control buttons i until the volume from the center channel is equal to what you had just heard from the left front speaker.

When the center channel level is set press the Û Menu Control button i until Right Front is high- lighted and once again use the Ü or Ý Menu Control buttons i until the level is equal to the preceding speakers. Continue until all speaker locations have been set, and then quickly cycle through the list one more time to make certain that no additional adjustments are required.

NOTE: For proper operation, the test tone should always be heard from the speaker location indicated in the on-screen menu. If the sound is being heard from a location other than the one shown on the screen there is a misconnection in the system. In that event, press the Menu button j three times to exit the menu system and then turn the unit off by pressing the Master Power Switch 1 on the front panel until the Standby LED 5 goes dark. Once the 2.0 and all amplifiers have been turned completely off (NOT placed in a standby mode) check all connections from the 2.0 to the power amplifier and from the amplifier to the speakers to find the incorrect connection. Once the problem is found and corrected, turn your system on again and resume the setup.

When all speaker locations have been set so that the sound is equal, press the Menu button j to end the calibration and return to the Speaker Setup Menu.

To complete the speaker setup, press the

ÝMenu Control button i to move to the next step.

At the Speaker Dist Adj menu (Figure OSD-4) you will enter the information that will permit the 2.0 to automatically calculate the proper delay time for each analog and digital surround mode. Thanks to the advanced circuitry of the 2.0 it is no longer necessary to calculate delay times and enter them manually. It is important, however, that you have the distance from the preferred listening position to the front left/right, center and surround speakers measured and available before proceeding to the next step.

The first line on the menu allows you to change from the factory preset of measurement in feet to metric increments. If you prefer to enter the data in meters, make certain that the Meas Std line is highlighted and press the Ý Menu Control button i until Feet is replaced with Meters. Press the Û Menu Control button i when the desired measurement unit appears and move to the next line.

At each of the next three lines, use the Ü or Ý Menu Control buttons i to change the setting so that the distance shown is as close as possible to the distance from your listening position to the speaker location that is highlighted. When the setting for a speaker position is complete, press the Û Menu Control button i to move to the next position.

When all speaker distances have been entered, press the Menu button j to return to the Spkr Setup Menu to select any items that may require final fine tuning. Press the Menu button one more time to return to the Setup Menu so that final adjustments and configuration data may be entered.
