CONFIGURING THE S170i

AUDIO SETUP

The <Audio setup> menu enables you to modify tone-control settings and other listening options. Modifications you make on this menu will remain in affect until changed again, or until a Preset containing different settings is recalled (see below).

DOLBY/DTS SETUP

From the <Audio Setup> menu, select the <Dolby/DTS setup> item using the remote’s [Cursor ] keys, then press [Enter], this will show a sub menu with the following choices to adjust the music modes of the Dolby and DTS surround decoders:

<PL II Panorama> select <Off> or <On>

When selected <On> the Panorama setting wraps the sound of the Front Left and Right speakers around you for an exciting effect.

<PL II Center Width> select <Min.> <1> <2> <3> <4> <5> <6> <Max.>

Center Width allows you to gradually spread the Center channel sound into the Front Left and Right speakers. At the widest <Max.> setting all the Center speaker sound is mixed to the Left and Right speakers. This control may help achieve a more spacious sound, or a better blend of the front image.

<PL II Dimension> select <0> <1> <2> <3>

Dimension adjusts the front/back balance to taste.

<Neo:6 Center Image> select <Min.> <1> <2> <3> <4> <Max.>

Center Image allows you to gradually spread the Center channel sound into the Front Left and Right speakers.

PRESET SETUP

The S170i incorporates five “Presets,” memory locations in which you may store five different combinations of tone-control and relative center/surround/subwoofer channel levels to suit different requirements. For example: You might configure Preset 1 for movie-surround with tone controls set to zero and relative channel levels left at their calibrated points, but set Preset 2 for music-surround listening with slightly elevated surround- and subwoofer-channel levels, slightly reduced center-channel levels, and modified bass or treble. Presets may be configured in any way, for any purpose you see fit.

CONFIGURING PRESETS

From the <Audio setup> menu, use the remote’s [Cursor ] and [Enter] keys to select the <Preset setup> item. Using the same keys, select the Preset to be configured on the <Preset> item; then invoke the bass and treble settings desired for that preset using the same keys. With the same keys again, set the relative levels of Center, Surround, and Subwoofer channels for that preset.

NOTE THAT:

•If surround-back speaker(s) are configured as present in the <Speaker setup> OSD menu (below), their levels will be controlled along with the surround-channels levels.

•Once configured, a Preset remains unchanged until you edit it via the <Preset setup> OSD menu.

•A Preset applies regardless of what source is selected, or what listening mode is in operation

•Cycling the S170i through its Standby mode will cancel any previously selected Preset, reverting both tone and all level settings to those set on the HTR 2 remote’s LEVELS or MODE/MULTI.S screens (below), or via the S170i preamp’s <Audio setup> (above) OSD menu. If you would like to be able to set all channel-levels and tone-control values to zero without cycling through Standby, set one Preset to “all zeroes.”

•Channel levels stored in presets (are added to the setup levels established on the S170i preamp’s <Levels setup> OSD menu. For example: if your <Level setup> establishes <Center> at “-3 dB” and you dial in a Preset center-channel level of +2 dB, the net overall effect will be a center-channel level of -1 dB. By contrast, tone-control settings override <Audio setup> tone levels entirely.

RECALLING PRESETS

To implement the preset at any time, sequentially press the HTR 2’s [AV PRESET] key and the corresponding numeral key <1 - 5>. Cycling the S170i through Standby mode will release the preset. the number of the preset invoked will appear briefly on the OSD and the S170i’s front-panel display. (See also Using Presets, below)
