Basic Setup
1 – General Settings:
Volume display: Allows you to select how volume is displayed. Choose from
Normal 0–82 (in 1dB steps), THX Ref –63dB to +19dB, and Fine 0–82 (in
0.5dB steps). We recommend setting this to THX Ref as this represents a
volume control around 0dB (the reference level) which is the same loudness
level of a movie in a movie theatre (once you have calibrated your system
correctly).
Max Volume: Limits the maximum volume setting the system can be turned up to.
This is a useful feature to prevent accidental overdriving of low power-handling
speakers (for example).
Max On Volume: Limits the maximum volume the system operates at when it is
rst switched on. The system comes on at this volume if the last used (possibly
very loud) volume exceeds this value.
Delay units: Controls whether the delay settings for the speakers in surround modes (page 3 of this
menu) are speci ed in terms of Time, Imperial or Metric distances from the listening position.
Choose the measurement system that you feel most comfortable with.
Note that changing the units resets all distances/times to zero. It is therefore important to
choose the units (Time, Imperial or Metric) before set up.
OSD Mode: Controls how the on screen display is viewed. Mixed will overlap the OSD on top of the
existing video picture, while Full Page will give a full screen black background with the OSD
displayed in white.
Note that no on-screen display is available over the HDMI connection.
On video signals that have a sync. rate of greater than the normal interlaced rate (e.g.,
progressive scan, frame-scaled video, HDTV) the OSD will switch into Full Page mode (black
background) when the control menu is accessed. Any pop-up displays (such as the volume bar,
source selection information, etc) will be switched off.
Note that in Mixed mode, the highlight bar is black if video is present; it is blue if no video signal
is present or if in Full Page mode.
Video Status: This setting controls the trigger sockets on the rear panel of the AV9 (
gm, gs
and gt
, described on page 10). It can be set either to Screen Ctrl or SCART. SCART mode is
useful only if you wish to use SCART connections from the AV9 (SCART refers to the multipole
A/V connector usem m
