Speakers in a typical 12 channel system
Dolby Digital, DTS and Circle Surround Setup
The center and left/right surround speaker levels and delays will most likely differ for Dolby Digital and DTS sources,
as well as when the Mode is Circle Surround. There are separate
SETUP submenus designed just for these modes.
When the mode is Dolby Digital, DTS, or Circle Surround, the center and surround delays will work together with
changes made in the above
DLYS submenu. Likewise, the values of the levels set in the Dolby Digital, DTS and
Circle Surround setup submenus will be added to (or subtracted from) the level values in the SETUP / INP / LVLS
submenu.
12) a) Play a Dolby Digital movie.
b) Go to the Dolby Digital setup submenu – page 2.
c) Set the center speaker delay to the same value as in the SETUP / INP / DLYS submenu.
d) Set the surround delay 15mS less that those set in the SETUP / INP / DLYS submenu.
e) Set the center speaker level and the surround speaker level to 0. Please refer to the SETUP/Dolby Digital
section in this manual for additional information regarding setting the Dolby Digital center and surround
levels.
f) The LFE setting should NOT be turned OFF if no sub woofer exists in the system. A setting of 0 turns on
the LFE and sets its level in proper proportion to the remaining 5 channels. Setting the LFE at –10 [dB]
may be desired for late night viewing or if source material may overpower the sub woofer. Setting the LFE
to OFF may be useful for late night viewing, however, please note that any information in the .1 channel will
be lost.
Remember that these values will be in effect only when the MODE is Dolby Digital.
13) a) Play a DTS encoded CD or movie.
b) Go to the DTS setup submenu.
c) Set the center speaker delay to the same value as in the SETUP / INP / DLYS submenu.
d) Set the surround delays 15mS less that those set in the SETUP / INP / DLYS submenu.
e) Set the center speaker level to 0 .
f) Set each surround speaker level to 0 .
g) Set the LFE level at 0 for DTS movies, or -10 for DTS music. (The user can choose to use two separate
input select buttons, one for DTS movies and one for DTS music, all parameter values being the same
except for the LFE setting).
These parameter values apply only when the MODE is DTS .
14) a) Play a 2 channel CD.
b) Go to the Circle Surround setup submenu.
c) Set the center and surround speaker delays to the same value as in the SETUP / INP / DLYS submenu.
d) Set the center speaker level and each surround speaker level to 0.
e) Set the imaging to NARROW or WIDE , applicable only when the mode is Circle Non-Encoded. WIDE
widens the speaker imaging in the front [left/right] speakers.
These parameter values apply only when the MODE is any one of the three Circle Surround modes.
