Automatic Mode Operation
NOTE: For automatic mode operation, the Millennium 2.4.6 is hooked up for “pass through”
operation. All line-level outputs from your Receiver or Preamp must be connected to at least the
main input jacks of the Millennium 2.4.6, and must come from a source with DTS data. In other
words, the raw DTS digital datastream must be present at the mains input (Left Front and Right
Front) to the Millennium 2.4.6 in order to use this automatic mode.
1. Place the front panel toggle switch in the up, or AUTO position.
2. In the automatic mode, the main volume level is set by matching the output level of the
Millennium 2.4.6 to the level of the DTS raw data stream (white noise) presented to the main
inputs of the Millennium 2.4.6. (For more information see section PLAYING DTS ENCODED
SOURCE MATERIAL.)
3. As a starting point, set the MASTER control to the middle position. (See Note 1 on next page)
4. Now use the volume control on your Receiver or Preamp to adjust the listening level. The
Millennium 2.4.6’s proprietary volume matching system will automatically track the input level,
allowing you to use your Receiver or Preamp’s remote control to set volume level.
5. To set up your individual speaker levels, use a DTS test and setup disc, and choose a track
with a white or pink noise source on the left front channel only.
6. Set the MASTER level so that the noise from the speaker is at a comfortable level.
7. Now switch to a track that has noise on the right front to verify that both front speakers are
working correctly.
8. Now play a track with noise on the left rear, and set the SURROUNDS TRIM so that the level
closely matches what you heard from the front channels.
9. Now switch to a track that has white noise on the right rear to verify that both rear speakers
are working correctly.
10. Play a track with noise for the center and use the CENTER TRIM to match the level with the
front and rear channels.
11. Finally, play a track with noise for the LFE (sub) channel. Use the LFE TRIM to adjust the
volume on your subwoofer until it is at a comfortable level.
12. The MASTER control sets the line output levels for all channels together, so once the TRIM
adjustments are made, you needn’t touch them again, only use the MASTER level control
for volume adjustment.
Your system is now balanced, and you are ready to hear all the clarity and presence of DTS just
as the recording studio engineers meant you to hear it.
