Concert XR series
Input Configuration
Each input on your Concert XR series has individual audio and video settings
that can be adjusted specifically for its use.
INPUT - Identifies the currently selected source. Settings are displayed below.
NAME - Specific name/label for this input that will show on display device‘s
and the OSD. The name can be changed, and this is very useful when more
than one source unit has similar functions (for example, two Satellite receivers
could be named SAT1 and SAT2).
LIP SYNC - Many video processors and line multipliers cause a slight delay
between the sound and the video picture. Highly compressed video signals
such as MPEG encoded satellite receivers and some DVD’s also suffer from this
problem. The Lip Sync setting delays the audio a small amount to allow the
video image to catch up. If this is an audio only input - like Aux, then LipSync is
grayed out.
MODE - Sets the initial audio decode mode for stereo sources on this input.
Stereo sources are analog, digital and HDMI. Last Mode recalls the last used
mode for stereo sources. If you’re setting this up with an HDMI input, you
probably want to change this to Dolby Surround or DTS Virtual:X so that all
your speakers are working when you are playing a 2 ch audio program material.
EXT. MODE - Sets the initial audio decode mode for multi-channel digital
sources on this input where the audio is multichannel PCM.
BASS and TREBLE - Changes the bass and treble response for all speakers
when using this input. Very useful when you have a source unit that has
reduced frequency response due to the format (i.e. older VCRs or 8-Tracks)
ROOM EQ - The Dirac room calibration system in the Concert XR series
measures the major frequency resonances that occur due to room acoustics
and speaker locations and creates specific equalization filters to offset this.
You can deploy up to 3 EQ presets. The Room EQ menu allows you to select
whether to engage the Room EQ filter for each source. Options are “Not
Calculated”, “Project Name” - up to 3 projects - or “OFF” with the default
being “Off”. Project name is the name of the project file from the Dirac Live
application. Your remote’s “Audio” button or the Room EQ command from your
automation system will toggle through the 3 EQs if they have been calculated.
INPUT TRIM - Selects the maximum analog signal for this input before
clipping. This setting should match the audio output of your source units with
the available settings being 1, 2, and 4 volts RMS and the default being 2 volts.
Source units with low output levels can benefit from being set to higher output
settings such as 1 V or 2 V.
