The second line, just below the line indicating how to return to the “Main Menu,” contains the program number. Remember that this number only defines the sources and conditions that you attach to it in the following steps. It DOES NOT refer to any specific input connection on the 5.0’s rear panel.

Before proceeding it is a good idea to have a chart of which input sources are connected to each of the rear panel inputs. This will speed the installation process. A worksheet for this purpose is contained in Appendix B. It is also a good idea to review the factory default settings, as they may provide a starting point from which to model your system.

To select a program to customize, press the Û Menu Control button so that Program is high- lighted. Next press Ü or Ý Menu Control buttons to select the Program Profile that you wish to edit. When the Program Profile number appears, press the Û Menu Control button so that Name is highlighted.

This option permits you to change the name associated with this profile to a name that describes the input source. This name will appear whenever the Program Profile is selected in both the front panel and on screen displays. Use any name that best suits your system requirements, such as “VCR-1,” “Cable Box” or any other descriptive phrase that helps you to remember which combination of audio and video equipment is connected to this Program Profile.

To change the program’s name, press the Ý Menu Control button and note that the first letter is highlighted. By repeatedly pressing the Ú or Û Menu Control buttons you may change the letter to any upper- or lower-case letter, the numerals 0–9 or a variety of symbols. The Ú Menu Control button moves forward through the alphabet; the Û Menu Control button moves backward. (Holding the button down allows continuous scanning.) After selecting the first letter, press the

ÝMenu Control button to move one space to the right, and select the second character as you did the first. Should you make an error or change your mind, use the Ü Menu Control button to move one space to the left.

Up to ten characters may be entered, although all spaces need not be used. When you have entered the Program Profile name, press the Ü or Ý Menu Control buttons until all of the letters on the line are highlighted. At this point you may press the Û Menu Control button to move to the next line.

At the Audio Input line you may associate any of the analog or digital audio inputs with the Profile. Press the Ü or Ý Menu Control buttons to scroll through the list of input numbers. Note that inputs 1 through 6 are prefixed “A,” as they are analog inputs. Inputs 7 through 10 are coaxial (electrical) digital, while 11 and 12 are optical digital inputs; all are prefixed “D”. Unlike the Program Profile numbers, these numbers DO correspond directly to the rear input connection numbers. In addition, as you scroll through the inputs you will hear the source through the system to verify that you have selected the proper input.

After selecting the audio input to be associated with this program, the choices on the balance of the menu will change. One set of menu choices (Figure OSD-8 on page 37) appears when an analog input, which are inputs A1 through A6, is selected, while a different set of choices (Figure OSD-9 on page 39) appears when one of the digital inputs, which are D7 through D12, are selected.

For the analog inputs, press the Û Menu Control button so that Input Level is highlighted. This is best done with the source in the Play mode with a representative program playing. While the source is playing, press the Ü or Ý Menu Control buttons so that the front panel input level indica- tors show a constant indication between the +0 and +3 marks. This is done to compensate for audio sources which have either low or high outputs, to ensure that the surround-sound decoding circuits in the 5.0 have the proper amount of signal to work with. It also ensures that as various audio sources are selected, their levels are approximately equal.
