Source Configuration

Today’s audio video technology has led to the use of an increasingly complex number of audio/sources in even the most basic home theater systems. To make matters more confusing, the use of a specific output from any one piece of source equipment may vary depending on the type of program software being watched or listened to.

The 2.0 is unique in that it gives users the option to assemble any of the audio and video sources it is con- nected to into easy to understand input source profiles that allow you to “mix and match” combinations and then identify them with a name that makes sense. For example, the tuner may be permanently “attached” to the output of a satellite receiver to allow video for sports events to be combined with the play-by-play audio from a local radio station, or a DVD player with multiple digital audio outputs may appear as separate input sources.

The key to this flexibility is found on the Source Menu. Following the instructions below, you may combine inputs, establish preferred modes, set input levels and vary effects settings. To start, press the Menu button j until the main Setup Menu (Figure OSD-1) appears, and then press the Û Menu Control button i once until Sources > is highlighted. Press the Ý Menu Control button i again to reach the Source Menu.

While proceeding through each of the menu items and configuration options explained in the following pages, it is a good idea to record the choices made in the Sources worksheet that is found in Appendix B. Making a written record of your system’s configuration will make it easier to establish your favorites should the memory be reset due to software changes or service.

At the Source Menu (Figure OSD-5), the first line labeled Source corresponds to the button on the

2.0remote control that will be used to recall the source profile that is being established. You may continue to program the profile that is shown, or press the Ý Menu Control button i to change to another remote button to be set. When the correct profile is shown inside the highlighted area, press the Û Menu Control button i to move to the next line.

The Name line is where you may rename the input profile so that the on-screen and front-panel display description shows your preferred description. For example, you may wish to rename “TV” to “Satellite,” “Video 1” to “VCR 1,” “Video 2” to “DVD,” and so on.

To change the input name, first make certain that the Name line is highlighted. Next, press the Ý Menu Control button i and note that a series of underscore

lines (ÐÐÐÐ) will appear to the right of the factory preset name and that the first letter will change from

white to a slightly greenish color. Use the Úand Û Menu Control buttons i to change the alphanumeric character. Tap the remote buttons lightly to move through the upper case letters, lower case letters, num- bers and symbols one at a time, or press and hold either the Úor Û Menu Control buttons to scroll rapidly through the available characters.

After you have changed the first letter, press the

ÝMenu Control button to move to the next space. The letter being changed will turn from white to a light green as your indication of which space is being changed. Continue to use the Úand Û Menu Control buttons to change each character, and then press the Ý Menu Control button to move to the next space to the right. If you have made an error and wish to correct a previous spot on the line, use the Ü Menu Control button as a “backspace” key.

When you have completed the entry, even if it does not fill the entire 11-character space permitted, press the Menu button j to enter the setting to the 2.0’s memory. Press the Û Menu Control button i to move to the next line.
