Questions and Answers
Q:
When I play a blu-ray disc, the front panel display of the Evolution 707 reads Dolby IIx instead of
TrueHD how do I get the right decode mode?
A:
When you see Dolby IIx appear on the front panel display, this means the Evolution 707 is receiving
LPCM data. This can be because:
The output is connected via optical or coaxial S/PDIF cables and the Blu-ray machine is set to output
2 channel PCM
The Blu-ray machine has a menu setting that makes all Bitstream formats LPCM. Consult the blu-ray
machine owner’s manual for set up specifi cs.
The setup for the Blu-ray disk is set to LPCM output.
Q:
When I change channels on my TV cable box, the audio and video have to reset every time. How do I
make this stop?
A:
This is caused by the cable box changing audio and video data for each channel. The Evolution 707 has
to re-sync each time causing a delay. The best course of action for this is to set the cable box up for a
fi xed video output, as opposed to variable. This will keep the video constant and only change audio
when the signal has changed.
Q:
After connecting and calibrating the system, I no longer have center channel information coming out
of the speaker. What have I done wrong?
A:
The very fi rst thing to check in any potential channel failure is the connection to the power amplifi ers
from the processor and then amplifi ers to speakers. If all seems to be in working order check to see
if the Evolution 707 is in “Phantom Center” mode, this can be enabled by pressing the “center” quick
select button twice which will disable the physical center channel and redirect center information to
the left and right speakers.
Q:
When I play a standard DVD on my Blu-ray machine the video works fi ne, but when I try and play a Blu-
ray disc the video keeps dropping out. How can I fi x this annoying problem?
A:
There are a number of possible causes for this type of problem, a few common examples are listed
below:
The HDMI video output of the Blu-ray machine is set to an output format your video monitor or
projector can not accept. Standard DVD can output up to 1080i, but a Blu-ray disc can output up to
1080P which may be too much for your video display. Try changing the video output resolution.
The HDMI cable connecting the Blu-Ray machine to the Processor or the HDMI cable to the video
display from the processor is not of suffi cient bandwidth to carry the High resolution audio
and video signals. Consult your dealer to make sure the HDMI cables used are correct for your
application.
The Software for your Blu-ray machine is not up to date and requires the latest version.
Q:
I have connected my SACD player to the Evolution 707 via HDMI and do not get any sound.
A:
The Evolution 707 does not support the Digital DSD standard over HDMI. Utilize the discrete analog 5.1
input for best performance.
