System Configuration

The Delay setting for all speakers configured for your system will be available only (with 5.1 or with 6.1/7.1 configuration) when any Dolby sur- round mode is selected (except Dolby-3-Stereo). In addition they are selectable with these modes only, with all other modes the delay times are fixed. Note that the Delay settings are "Global" for all inputs, using those Dolby modes, and need not to be repeated with any input.

To view or change the current delay settings, make sure the EZSET/EQ MAIN menu (Figure 12) is on the screen. Press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button DF to move the cursor to DELAY ADJUST and then press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q on the ZR 10. The DELAY ADJUST menu (Figure 29) will appear on the screen.

Next move the ➞ cursor to the UNIT line and select the unit for distances you prefer to enter, feet or meter. Then move the ➞ cursor to the FL line where the first adjustment is made. Now press the ‹ / › Buttons DF until the dis- tance from the front left speaker to the preferred listening position is entered. Next press the ¤ Button DF once to move to the next line.

If you wish to reset all delay settings to the facto- ry defaults, as shown in Figure 29, press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button DF until the cursor is pointing to the DELAY RESET line. Next, press the ‹/› Navigation Button DF so that ON is highlighted in reverse video. The settings will reset, and you may now continue to make any needed changes following the instructions shown below. Once you make the first change to the default settings, the set- ting on the DELAY RESET line will return to OFF, indicating that the factory defaults are no longer in effect.

Now the ➞ cursor will be at the CEN line so that the delay for the center speaker may be set. Press the ‹ / › Buttons DF until the dis- tance from the main listening position to the center speaker is entered. Repeat the procedure for all active speaker positions by pressing the ¤ Button DF again and use the ‹ / › Buttons DF to change the setting.

If you have already run EzSet/EQ II, return to the settings established by the automated system by pressing the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button DF until the cursor is pointing to the EZSET SETTINGS line. Next, press the ‹/› Navigation Button DF so that ON is highlighted in reverse video. The settings will be resent to the values calculated by EzSet/EQ II, and the menu will be locked so that the settings may not be changed. To go back into the menu and make any manual changes to one or more channels, you must first return the cursor to the EZSET SETTINGS line and press the ‹/› Navigation Button DF so that OFF is highlighted in reverse video. This will unlock the menu to allow changes.

When the delay time for all speaker positions has been set you may return to the master menu by pressing the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button DF until the ➞ cursor is pointing to BACK T O MANUAL SETUP and then pressing the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q. However, if you have a digital video source or a digital video display that causes lack of lip sync you may use the A/V Sync adjust feature to delay the audio signal as it is sent to all chan- nels (as opposed to the individual settings) so that the picture and sound are brought back together. We recommend that this adjustment be made using the direct access controls on the remote, as shown below. That enables you to see the image while making the adjustment; however, you may also adjust it here using the menu system.

To adjust the A/V Sync delay, press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button DF so that the ➞ cur- sor is pointing to the A/V SYNC DELAY line on the menu and then press the ‹ / › Navigation Button DF to delay the sound sufficiently so that it matches the on-screen video.

The delay settings may also be adjusted directly and without going into the OSD menu system at any time using the TC 30 remote control and while viewing an on-screen image. This is partic- ularly helpful in the case of the A/V sync delay, since it is important to be able to view the impact of the A/V sync delay adjustment with on- screen images.

To adjust the delay settings, first try to have a program on the video display that has close-ups and dialogue. If you feel that the audio is ahead of the picture, look closely at the actors’ lips when they stop speaking, and notice whether their lips move for a short duration after the dia- logue has stopped. When using the delay adjust- ments, change the setting so that the movement of the actors’ lips is in sync with the sound, so that the sound stops when their lips stop. This is a good way to get the image and sound locked together.

The controls for A/V sync delay are activated by first pressing the Devices Button 4 on the TC 30, and then pressing the Screen Button

6at the top of the left vertical row, to the right of the AVR image in the remote’s screen. When the images in the LCD change, press the Screen Button 6 to the left of the box with the word DELAY.

Within five seconds, when the A/V SYNC DELAY message appears in the Lower Display Line ˜, press the OK/Enter Button

Eon the TC 30 or the Set Button Q and then use the ‹ / › Navigation Button DF to bring the image and sound into sync. When you have completed the adjustments, press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q again to enter the setting into the system memory.

When a 480i or 576i image is being viewed, you will see the A/V sync time message appear as a semi-OSD on-screen message, as well as in the front-panel display. Semi-OSD messages are not available when 480p or higher resolution video is in use.

To change the delay setting for an individual speaker setting directly, rather than the A/V sync “group delay,” follow these same instructions, but when the A/V SYNC DELAY message appears, press the ‹ / › Navigation Button DF until the desired speaker position name appears, and then press the OK/Enter Button

Eon the TC 30 or the Set Button Q to start the selection, the ‹ / › Navigation Button DF to change the delay settings, and finally the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q to store the setting.

Note that the A/V Sync delay setting is unique to each video input source, so you may enter a dif- ferent set-ting to compensate for the differences between any product attached to the Video 1, 2, 3 or 4 inputs.

When the delay settings are complete, press the

¤Button DF once so that the cursor is next to the BACK TO MANUAL SETUP menu line and press the OK/Enter Button E on the TC 30 or the Set Button Q to return to the MANUAL SETUP menu.

Output Level Adjustment

Output level adjustment is a key part of the con- figuration of any surround-sound product. It is particularly important for a digital receiver such as the AVR, as correct outputs ensure that you hear sound tracks with the proper directionality and intensity.
