3.6 Input Settings

Input Settings shows information about the current state of operation of the GTP-860, and repeats much of the same information shown on the GTP-860’s front panel. This menu should be the only part of the on-screen display you might elect to use regularly after setup is complete, as it allows you to easily see the operating mode from the listening position.

Highlight INPUT SETTINGS in the SETUP menu and press Select on the remote. You will see a screen similar to the following :

INPUT SETTINGS

AUDIO=VIDEO 3

VIDEO=VIDEO 3

MODE=5 CH STEREO

DYNAMIC RANGE=N/A

CENTER WIDTH=N/A

DIMENSION=N/A

DO NOT SAVE AND EXIT

SAVE AND EXIT

The available choices in each of the fields can be selected with the Left or Right arrow buttons on the remote; con- firm the choice with Select button.

AUDIO = identifies the selected audio input

VIDEO = identifies the selected video input

MODE = indicates the surround mode of the selected input (DOLBY DIGITAL, DTS, PRO LOGIC II, HALL, STEREO, and 5 CH STEREO).

DYNAMIC RANGE = indicates the dynamic range currently selected (100%, 75%, 50% and 25%) in Dolby Digital mode only, or N/A for the other modes.

Dimension = This parameter is used when listening in Prologic II Music mode, it changes the level balance from front speakers to back speakers, much the same way the fader adjust works in some car audio systems.

Center Width = This adjustment is used when listening to Prologic II Music Mode. It changes the amount of sound coming out of the center speaker. Adjust this parameter for best over all imaging between the front left/Right and center speaker.

Highlight SAVE & EXIT and press Select to save the altered settings and return to the SETUP menu. Otherwise, select DO NOT SAVE & EXIT to leave without saving any channel.
