SACD Playback
This sub-submenu selects the behavior of the Model Eleven when playing SACD discs. The choices include “2ch area”, Multi-ch area” and “CD Area. Some SACD discs contain both 2 channel and multi-channel information. Additionally, some SACD discs contain a CD area in addition to their SACD area. These are often referred to as “Hybrid SACD” discs. Not all SACD discs have multi-channel or CD areas. This menu setting only establishes the preferred behavior of the Model Eleven. The actual playback will depend both upon the settings in this menu and the disc in play.
PhotoViewer
This sub-submenu has two choices, either “On” or “Off”. When set to “On” a disc that contains JPEG files will be played as a photo CD. This is regardless of any other content on the disc. The setting for this option becomes valid upon the subsequent disc loaded into the Model Eleven.
DTS Downmix
This sub-submenu has two choices, either “STEREO” or “Lt/Rt”. When playing DTS discs the and the “Digital Audio Out” section of the Model Eleven has its “DTS” option set to “DTS > PCM” the Model Eleven can matrix surround information into a Dolby ProLogic compatible configuration if the “DTS Downmix” option is set to “Lt/Rt”. If the converter connected to the Model Elevens digital outputs is not Dolby ProLogic capable, then set this option to “STEREO”.
Using the navigation keys, navigate back to the left hand column and highlight the “Speakers” option.
Speakers
This submenu has four sub-submenu choices. Using the navigation keys, select the “Audio Output Mode” area.
Audio Output Mode
This sub-submenu has two choices, either “2 Channel” or “5.1 Channel”. If your Model Eleven is equipped with either of the multi-channel modules (balanced or unbalanced) and you have these channels (center, LFE, surround left or surround right) connected, select the “5.1 Channel” option. If you do not have either of the multi-channel modules installed or you are not using any of their outputs, select the “2 Channel” option.
Speaker Installation
This sub-submenu invokes a graphical display of the listening room. When selected, you can provide the Model Eleven with information as to the presence and type of speaker that you have connected to each output. Each of the speakers in use can have various different options, depending upon the specific speaker. A minimum of two speakers at the front left and front right locations are assumed. You can select either large or small for these two locations. The effect that these choices have is to determine the use of bass management. If small is selected for either of these locations, then a subwoofer is assumed to be connected to the LFE output. You cannot select small for either left or right front without also selecting “On” for the subwoofer choice. Similarly, when small is selected for either the center channel or left and right surround either the front speakers must be set to large or the subwoofer must be set to “On”. There must always be at least one set of low frequency capable speakers in the system (either a subwoofer or a large and full range front pair).
