SETTING SPEAKER DISTANCE

ABOUT THE ON-SCREEN DISPLAYS (OSD) AND FRONT-PANEL READOUT

NOTE: If you are balancing levels "by ear", choose one speaker—usually the center—as a reference and adjust each of the others in turn to "sound as loud" as the reference. Be sure that you remain in the primary listening position while balancing all channels.

Using the remote's [∧ /∨ ] and [< / >] keys adjust each speaker to produce the same SPL meter reading (or subjective loudness). Note that:

•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 762'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.

SPEAKER DISTANCE

Your system's speaker distance settings are a subtle but important refinement of your setup. Informing the

T762 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).

From the OSD’s main <Setup> menu, select the <Speaker Distance> item using the remote's [∧ /∨ ] and [Enter] keys. Using the [< / >] keys, set <Front> and <Center:> to the distance measuring from your principal listening position to the front surface of the front and center loudspeakers. Using the same remote keys, set <Surround> to the distance of the nearest surround-channel speaker.

NOTE: Distance can be displayed as feet or meters selectable by the <DISTANCE> item in the Speaker

Distance menu.

ADVANCED OPTIONS

The T 762 allows for setting of special listening and system options. These are usually one-time options settings and once set do not need to be changed.

Main/Zone DSP Decoding

From the OSD’s main <Setup> menu, select the DSP decoding options. There are two options, 5.1 and 7.1 decoding. With 7.1 decoding, the Zone output will be switched off.

Dolby Digital Surround EX Decoding

Select either Auto or On. If On is selected, the Surround EX decoding will be forced on thus Dolby Digital 5.1 will become 6.1 matrix.

DTS-EX Matrix

Select either Auto or On. If On is selected, the EX Matrix will be forced on thus DTS 5.1 will become 6.1 matrix.

CREATING AND USING PRESETS

The T 762’s simple but powerfully flexible system of “Presets” allows you to customize virtually every aspect of your audio-video playback, and recall them with a single key-press. Every parameter of T 762 operation that is available from the main <Setup> menu — input settings, level settings, delay settings, speaker settings, and listening mode selection and adjustments — is stored, together, as a single Preset. You might create one Preset optimized for pop music and another for classical, or Presets that recall each family member’s favorite setup, or one for fully cinematic home-theater playback and another for late-night movies, with each Preset’s surround mode, channel levels, and speaker-setup fine-tuned to a particular scenario or preference.

CREATING PRESETS
Creating a Preset consists simply of storing a complete set of all settings accessible from the main <Setup>
menu, including Tone Control settings. To save a collection of settings to a Preset, use the HTR 2 remote’s
[∧ /∨ ] keys to scroll to the to main <Save to Preset> item. Use [∧ /∨	] to scroll to the desired Preset’s line
[1-5]; <Stored> will be flashing. Now press the HTR 2’s [Enter] to store the Preset; <Stored> will be stop
flashing, confirming that the Preset has been stored.
NOTE: The selected Preset remains in force until you select a different Preset.
NOTE: It is strongly recommended to leave Preset 1 “empty”; that is, memorized with no changes at all
made to the calibrated values you have entered on all of the <Setup> menu lines. This will make returning
to your calibrated setup defaults easy.
RECALLING PRESETS
You may recall a Preset at any time; the newly recalled Preset will replace the previous Preset (if any).
Presets can only be recalled using the HTR 2 remote:
Press the HTR 2’s square [A/V Preset] key (red dot), then press the numeric key 1-5 corresponding to the
desired preset.
NOTE: The [A/V Preset] key works as a momentary “shift” key: You must press it every time before invoking
a Preset via a numeric key.	17
