A Quick Start For CD
The PAV/PDSD is an exciting system, and we understand that many owners will
be anxious to get it up and running as quickly as possible.
What follows is not
a replacement for a complete setup of the system.
Rather, it is provided so
you can get some music playing from a single digital source as quickly as pos-
sible. It assumes that your system is already set up in other respects (
speakers
connected to power amps, etc.
). Once done, please read up on how to do a com-
plete setup and calibration in order to get the most from your investment (
or
have your dealer/installer do it for you
).
1 MAKE THE PHYSICAL CONNECTIONS; TURN EVERYTHING ON
Connect the Communications Cable between the PAV and the PDSD; con-
nect the outputs of the PDSD to your power amplifiers, as indicated (front,
rear, center, sub); connect a CD transport to any matching digital input con-
nector on the PDSD, noting which connector you use; ensure that the main
video output of the PAV is connected to your television (so you can see the
on screen menus). Once this is done, turn on all the components involved
(CD transport, PAV, PDSD, television, amplifiers). Turn the amps on last (al-
ways a good habit with any audio system).
2 PRESS AND HOLD THE CD1 BUTTON ON THE FRONT OF THE PAV
This shortcut of pressing and holding an input button will take you directly
to the
define button
menu for that button.
3 TELL THE SYSTEM WHICH CONNECTOR YOU USED FOR YOUR CD
TRANSPORT IN STEP 1
We have no way of knowing what sort of digital interface your particular
CD transport might use (
AES
/
EBU
?
RCA
?
BNC
?
EIA
-
J
?), but logically, you’d like to
be able to use your main CD player with the button labeled
cd1
. This step
allows you to use whatever connector you
need
to use in conjunction with
the button you’d
like
to use. Using the
/–
buttons, move the arrow
cursor down to the line that defines your first audio connection (
1: Digital,
Dig 1
) and press
enter
. Then move the arrow cursor down (
/–
) to
the line that defines which connector is being used, and press
enter
again.
With the cursor changed to an
x
instead of an arrow, the
/–
but-
tons will allow you to select whatever digital input connector you used in
Step 1. When done, press
enter
again to save your change.
4 PRESS MENU TO EXIT THE MENU SYSTEM, AND ENJOY
Make sure the volume is on at a low level before you fire up your CD
player, press the
cd1
button, and raise the volume to a comfortable level.
According to the factory defaults (which you can easily change),
cd1
is pre-
set to come on in 2-channel/surround off. You should properly calibrate the
system so all speakers are playing at the proper volumes before you listen
critically to multichannel audio. Performing this calibration only takes only a
few more minutes, but you should read up on it a bit first. You can enjoy
the PAV/PDSD system in regular stereo until then.
