Figure OSD-7

This menu has two groups of lines for the left and right inputs. The top group is where adjustments are made to each of the channels, and the figure shown at the right side of the screen is the offset from the 2.0’s internal reference. The group of readouts in the lower portion of the screen displays an actual indication of the incoming audio signal’s level.

When the lower display lines display a constant reading of Ref, the level settings are correct and no further adjustment is required. When either of the lower lines flashes between Ref and Low or Refand High the input levels require adjustment. A level that is too high will cause distortion and incorrect processing, while too low a level will prevent the surround processor from creating the proper soundfields.

To adjust the input levels, make certain that the Set Input Levels menu (Figure OSD-7) is on the screen. To select the channel being adjusted, use the

Úor Û Menu Control buttons i until the desired channel is highlighted. Use the Ü or Ý Menu Control buttons i until the Signal Level line for

the channel being adjusted shows a constant Ref display. When one channel has been adjusted, repeat the procedure for the other, if necessary.

NOTE: When adjusting the input level using the front panel display, note that only the indication of Ref, High, or Low, will appear on the bottom line. The reference offset numbers appear only in the on-screen display (Figure FPD-5).

Effects Setup

The final adjustment group to be set when establishing an input source profile is the Effects menu. These settings adjust parameters that will be initiated when the source is selected in the future, but they may always be modified during a listening session through the use of the various remote control functions.

To enter the Effects menu, the Source Menu (Figure OSD-5) should be on the screen with the

Effects > line highlighted. Press the

ÝMenu Control button i and note that the Effects Menu (Figure OSD-8) will appear on the screen.
