Proceed PAV/PDSD System Quick Start…

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 possible. 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 complete

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 Digital Surround Decoder;

■

connect the outputs of the Digital Surround Decoder to your power amplifiers, as indicated (front, rear, center, sub);

■

connect a CD transport to any matching digital input connector on the Digital Surround Decoder, noting which con-
nector you use;

■

ensure that the main video output of the PAV is connected to your television (so you can see the on screen menus).

■

turn on all the components involved (CD transport, PAV, PDSD, television, amplifiers). Turn the amps on last (always 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

?), but logically, you’d like to be able to use your main CD player with the button labeled “CD1.” This 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

instead of an arrow, the

/–

buttons 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 vol-

ume to a comfortable level. According to the factory defaults (which you can easily change),

cd1

is preset 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
multi-channel 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 (while you are reviewing the manual).

We suggest you read the entire manual, of course. However, previous owners of the PAV will want to pay particular atten-
tion to

Using the Menu System

, since it operates a bit differently than it has in the past. After that, review the section on

The

Setup Menu

to get a better idea of how the combined PAV/PDSD system differs from the PAV alone.

Whenever you finish connecting all your digital components to the Digital Surround Decoder, keep track of
where you connect your various components using the erasable marker provided and the Hookup Record
on the reverse of this page.
