CONFIGURING THE S170i

You may set up your S170i’s levels, modes, and options in any order; it is not necessary to follow the order employed here. However, it is advisable to begin by configuring the S170i’s on-screen display options, since certain of these will affect the options made available to other setup routines.

DISPLAY SETUP

From the S170i OSD’s Main menu, select the <Display setup> item using the remote’s [Cursor ], and

[Enter] keys. Using the [Cursor ] keys, set: <TV system> to “NTSC” for North American use, or “PAL.” for European use.

Using the same remote keys, set:

<Superimpose> to “On” or “Off. When “Off” is selected, on-screen menus will appear against a blue background, obscuring the current video program (if any); when “On” is selected menus will appear in white text superimposed upon the current video program (if any).

<Temporary disp.> to “Full,” “Simple, or “Off.” This controls how much information the S170i will display, monetarily, in on-screen text whenever powering on, selecting or changing a source or listening mode, or changing types of input signals. In “Full” mode a complete screen of data including input-name, audio-signal input, type, format, and listening mode, and video-signal type and input; in “Simple” mode, only input-name will appear. In “Off” mode no temporary on-screen info will be displayed.

<Video format> to “Auto,” “SVideo,” or “Compos.” (composite-video). This controls which S170i video outputs will be active when a video input is selected; in “Auto” mode, the output mode will be selected according to the format of the incoming signal, with S-Video taking precedence where a source is connected via both formats. Note that the S170i preamplifier passes video signals even when it is switched to “Standby.” This permits video sources such as TeleText or Web-TV devices to be used even when the balance of the system is off.

<OSD output> to “Both,” “SVideo,” “Compos.” (composite-video), or “Off.” This controls which video outputs will carry the S170i’s on-screen displays and menus. When “Both” is selected OSDs will be present on both the S-Video and composite-video Monitor Outputs; selecting “SVideo” or “Compos.” confines on-screen displays to each output alone, and “Off” disables on-screen displays altogether. (In all cases, basic data remains readable via the S170i’s front-panel readout, so you can, for example, see what you’re doing even with OSDs set to “Off.”)

NOTE THAT:

OSDs do not appear on the component-video output

Enabling OSD for a video output causes the video source signals in that format to “pass through” the OSD circuitry. Critical videophiles may wish to disable the OSD on the SVideo output for the most critical viewing/recording functions.

<Distance units> to “Feet” or “Meters.” This selects by which measurement units you will enter your speaker-setup dimensions on the S170i’s <Delay setup> menu page (see below).
