	12V Trigger Assign Sub-menu
IntelliVolume Sub-menu

When multiple devices are connected to the RDC-7.1, the volume may vary for a device even when volume settings on the RDC-7.1 are identical.

Reducing the variance in the volume level will allow you to enjoy sounds at the same volume level without adjusting the volume control on the RDC-7.1.

IntelliVolume

Use the [ ] button when the volume is louder than other devices, and the [ ] button when the volume is quieter.

You can set at 0.5 dB intervals within a range from –12.0 dB to +12.0 dB. The default is 0.0 dB.

Delay Sub-menu

This section describes how to adjust the delay of sounds.

A/V Sync

When the picture is not synchronized with the sound, you can synchronize them using these settings. This option can be set for Main B and Zone 2 as well as for Main A.

You can set at 0.1 ms intervals within a range from 0.0 ms to 300.0 ms.

Relative Delay - Center, Surr L/R, Surr Back

Our proprietary “Enhanced Special Positioning Algorithm” (an extended three-dimensional positioning algorithm) fine tunes the sound field. This algorithm is able to create a maximum delay of 10 ms in the output of each speaker. This delay is equivalent to a distance of about 3 meters between speakers. This option can be set for both Main A and Main B.

•When “Center” is set to “Not Used” on the Speaker Configuration sub-menu, there is no setting for

“Center.” Likewise, if “Surr L/R” is set to “Not Used,” or “Surr Back” is set to “Bi-Amp for Front,” or “Not Used,” there is also no setting for corresponding speakers.

You can set at 0.1 ms intervals within a range from –10.0 ms to +10.0 ms. The default is 0.0 ms.

Use this function to fine tune your surround environment after setting the distance between speakers (See page 93) and the volume level (See page 94). Extending the distance between speakers (widening the delay in time) will expand the sound field, while reducing the distance (narrowing the delay) will make the sound field sharper.

When the 12V TRIGGER OUT jack on the RDC-7.1 is connected to the 12V TRIGGER IN jack of a device, you can specify the room where you are going to trigger the device to turn on the power (for connection details, see pages 47, 49).

The default settings are as follows:

	Room setting	Delay
Trigger A	Main	0
Trigger B	Zone 2	1
Trigger C	Zone 3	2
Trigger D	Off	0
Trigger E	Main	2

Trigger A-E

The following are settings for the 12V trigger jacks A- E:

Off: Select when not using.

Main: Select when you want to power on a connected device only used in the main room.

Zone 2: Select when you want to power on a connected device only used in Zone 2.

Zone 3: Select when you want to power on a connected device only used in Zone 3.

Main/Zone 2: Select when you want to power on a connected device only used in the main room or Zone 2. Main/Zone 3: Select when you want to power on a connected device only used in the main room or Zone 3. Zone 2/Zone 3: Select when you want to power on a connected device only used in Zone 2 or Zone 3. Main/Zone 2/Zone 3: Select when you want to power on a connected device used in any area: main room, Zone 2, or Zone 3.

A delay-E delay

When a 12V trigger-connected device is powered on, a large amount of current may, depending on the device type, flow instantaneously. To ease the effects of this problem, you can set time interval differences for output signals from the 12V Trigger.

Setting time interval differences may prevent unnecessary noise (bubbling sounds).

0 sec: Select when not setting any difference.

1 sec: Select when setting output signals 1 second after power on to the RDC-7.1.

2 sec: Select when setting output signals 2 seconds after power on to the RDC-7.1.

3 sec: Select when setting output signals 3 seconds after power on to the RDC-7.1.
