The menu system

The DSP5000C offers a number of user choices which are normally accessed less frequently than, for example, source and volume. To make it easier to operate these less commonly used functions, we have provided a flexible menu system to guide you through the options. One important advantage this gives is complete flexibility for future system control options. Please note:

∙The menus are different in Normal and Setup modes

To access the menus

1. Use the menu keys on the remote control w n s e

To move between menus

1.Press either the w or the e menu key on the remote control In Normal mode, the menu choices are:

∙Tilt

∙Bass

∙Phase

∙Balance

∙Axis

Tip This is also the way to review settings you have made. The DSP5000C will cycle through its menus, displaying the current choice in each one as it goes.

In Setup mode, an additional menu item appears for boundary or free bass alignment or choice of subwoofer modes.

To change the choice in a menu

1. Press either the n or the s menu key on the remote control

Balance

The balance control in the speaker is only used if you have two

DSP5000Cs connected as a conventional stereo pair.

If you have set up the DSP5000C as a centre-channel then the balance control is ignored. If the speaker is used with a Meridian 565 Digital Surround Processor, then the balance function is taken over by the 565. See the manual supplied with 565.

Use of balance controls

The use of the balance control has been misunderstood for some time. It has been assumed that you can use it to move the image to one side,
