OPERATION

USING THE T 175 –Setup MENU

To produce the same SPL meter reading (or subjective loudness), use the remote’s [] keys to adjust each speaker.

NOTES

All speakers must be in their final locations before level-setting.

Your subwoofer (if any) should be set with its integral crossover defeated, or if undefeatable, set to its highest-possible frequency if you are using the T 175's Subwoofer output. Final subwoofer-level adjustment “by-ear,” using music and film sound material, is frequently useful.

Due to the effects of room acoustics, matched-pair speakers (front; surround; back) will not always calibrate to exactly the same level offset readings.

You can exit “Test” mode at any time by pressing the [] key twice, bringing you back to “Speaker

Setup” menu.

SPEAKER DISTANCE

Your system’s speaker distance settings are a subtle but important refinement of your setup. Informing the T 175 of the loudspeaker-to-listener dimensions of each speaker automatically imposes the correct delays, optimizing imaging, intelligibility and surround-sound ambience. Enter your dimensions with precision within about 1 foot (30 cm).

SETTING SPEAKER DISTANCE

While at “Speaker Distance” menu, use the [] keys to individually set Front Left, Center, Front Right, Surround Right, Back, Surround Left and Subwoofer to the distance measuring from your principal listening position to the front surface of their corresponding loudspeakers. Distance can be set up to 30 feet or 9.1 meters.

Distance can be displayed as feet or meters selectable at the “Unit of Measure” item.

ADJUSTING THE VOLUME

In addition to the Volume knob, use the HTRC 1’s [VOL] to adjust the“master volume” of the T 175 raising or lowering the channels altogether. A momentary keypress will change the master volume by 1 dB

increments. If you hold down [VOL] the master-volume change will“run-on” until the key is released.

Since recordings vary considerably in overall average level, there is no imperative to listen at any particular master-volume setting. A setting of -20 may sound “as loud” from one CD or DVD as -10 does from another.

The T 175 will power-up from Standby mode at whatever master volume setting was last used; however, if the prior setting was greater than –20 dB, the T 175 will power up at –20 dB. This prevents inadvertently beginning a session at excessive volume.

MUTING THE SOUND

Use the HTRC 1’s “Mute” key to silence all channels completely. Muting is always available regardless of the source or listening mode selections.

NOTES

Changing input or listening-mode selections does not release muting.

Adjusting the master-volume upward via the HTRC 1 or the front-panel knob automatically releases the mute function.
