MAESTRO M9
Input Configuration
Each input on your Maestro M9 has individual audio and video settings
that can be adjusted specifically for its use.
INPUT - Identifies the currently selected source whose settings are dis-
played below.
NAME - Specific name/label for this input that will show on display de-
vice and OSD. The name can be changed, and this is very useful when
more than one source unit do similar functions (for example, two Satellite
receivers could be named SAT1 and SAT2).
LIP SYNC - Many video processors and line multipliers cause a slight de-
lay between the sound and the video picture. Highly compressed video sig-
nals 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.
MODE - Sets the initial audio decode mode for stereo sources on this in-
put. Last Mode recalls the last used mode for stereo sources.
EXT. MODE - Sets the initial audio decode mode for multi-channel digital
sources on this input.
BASS and TREBLE - Changes the bass and treble response for all speak-
ers when using this input. Very useful when you have a source unit that
has reduced frequency response due to the format (i.e. older VCR’s)
ROOM EQ - The Dirac system in the Maestro M9 measures the major
frequency resonances that occur due to room acoustics and speaker loca-
tions and creates specific equalization filters to offset this. The Room EQ
menu allows you to select whether to engage the Room Equalization filter
for each source. Options are “Not Calculated”, “Project Name” or “OFF”
with the default being “Off”. Project name is the name of the project file
from the Dirac application.
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 be-
ing 2 Volts. Source units with low output levels can benefit from being set
to higher output settings such as 1 or 2V.
DOLBY VOLUME - Selects whether Dolby Volume is engaged for this
input with the options being “On” or “Off” (the default). Dolby Volume
corrects for volume inconsistencies and improves audio frequency response
at lower levels. This feature is not available when using the Multi-channel
audio or “Direct” modes.
