22 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

System Configuration

indicating that the analog Video 5 jacks

are

now record outputs.

Note: A signal will be sent to this jack only when

the input selected for use by the DPR is digital.

Digital signals will be passed through regardless

of their format, and which digital input (optical or

coax) they are fed from. However, analog signals

are not converted to digital, and the format of the

signal (e.g., PCM, Dolby Digital or DTS) may not

be changed.

Selection of the jacks as an output will remain

effective as long as the DPR is on. However, once

the unit is turned off, the jack will revert to its

normal use as an input when the unit is turned on

again.

The

REC OUT line gives you the opportunity to

select which type of signal is directed to the

Record Output jacks (associated with the Tape



, Video 1



and Video 2



sources). The

default setting is

ANALOG, which will send the

analog signal from any source to all three sets of

analog record outputs.

In cases where you wish to have the output of a

digital source selected as the record output feed,

while the ➞ cursor is next to the

REC OUT

line, press the

‹

Navigation Button

that

DSP DOWNMIX appears in highlighted

video. When this indication is shown, the DPR will

feed a downmixed, analog version of a Dolby

Digital or DTS encoded signal to the Record

Output jacks (associated with the Tape

and Video 2



sources and the

Video 5 jacks when they are configured as an

output). This enables you to make an analog

recording (where permitted by copyright laws) of

the soundtrack from a digital source.

As a reminder, to ensure that a signal feed is

always available to the record output jacks, we

recommend that an analog connection be made

as a fallback for all digital sources. This is key with

sources such as cable set-tops to ensure that a

record feed will continue in the event that the

digital audio stream is not available when

channels are changed.

When all needed adjustments have been made,

press the

Navigation Button

until the

➞ cursor is next to

BACK TO MASTER

to continue with the system

configuration.

Audio Setup

This menu allows you to configure the tone con-

trols and to turn the upsampling on or off. If you

do not wish to change any of those settings at

this time, proceed to the next menu screen.

However, to make configuration changes to those

parameters, make certain that the

MASTER

is on the screen with the ➞ cursor point-

ing to the

AUDIO SETUP line, and press the

Set Button

. The AUDIO SETUP menu

(Figure 3) will appear.

Figure 3

The first line controls whether or not the bass/tre-

ble tone controls are in the signal path. The nor-

mal default is for them to be in-line, but if you

wish to remove them from the circuit for “flat”

response, first make certain that the ➞ cursor is

pointing to the TONE line on the menu and press

the

‹

›

Navigation Button

so that OUT

is highlighted in reverse video.

If you wish to leave the tone controls in the signal

path, the amount off boost or cut for bass and

treble may be adjusted by pressing the

⁄

Navigation Button

so that the ➞ cursor is

next to the line for the setting you wish to adjust.

Next, press the

‹

›

Navigation Button

until the desired setting is shown.

This menu also includes a setting to turn the unit’s

upsampling feature on or off. In normal use, this

feature is turned off, which means that digital

sources are processed at their native sample rate.

For example, a 48kHz digital source will be

processed at 48kHz. However, the DPR allows you

to upsample the incoming 48kHz signals to 96kHz

for added resolution.

To take advantage of this feature, press the

⁄

Navigation Button

so that the ➞ cursor is

next to the

UPSAMPLING line and press the

‹

›

Navigation Button

so that ONis

highlighted in reverse video. Note that this feature

is only available for the Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro

Logic II and Pro Logic IIx Music and Movie modes.

Speaker Optimizer

The Speaker Optimization function is critical to

ensure optimal performance of the DPR, as it tells

the digital amplifier section how to best match its

operation to your specific speakers. Note that this

adjustment is electronic, not electrical, and unlike

the “8-ohm/4-ohm” switches on older analog

amplifiers, you do not need to turn the DPR off to

change the setting. However, we do suggest that

you do not have any program material playing

through the DPR when the setting is changed.

Before making this adjustment you will need to

find the impedance specification for your

speakers. This information is often found on a

label attached to the speaker, and it is usually

shown in the owner’s manual that came with your

speakers. If you cannot find the information for

your speakers, consult the manufacturer’s Web

site or customer service department.

In cases where the speakers in a system have

different impedance ratings, such as 8 ohms for

the front left/right and center speakers and 6

ohms for the surround speakers, use the setting

for the front speakers, as they are used most often

for all types of program material.

If you cannot determine the speaker’s impedance,

there is no harm in using the factory default

setting of 8 ohms, as most home speakers are in

that range. However, if it appears that your

system’s performance in the highfrequency range

sounds constricted at high volume levels, you may

want to experiment with the 6-ohm or 4-ohm

setting.

If your speakers match the factory default setting

of 8 ohms, no further adjustment is needed,

and you may exit this menu by pressing the

Navigation Button

so that the ➞ cursor is

pointing to the

BACK TO MASTER MENU

line and then press the Set Button

. If you

do need to change the setting, press the

‹

›

Navigation Button

until the desired

impedance setting appears.

When all desired changes have been made on this

menu, press the

⁄

Navigation Button

so that the ➞ cursor is next to the BACK TO

MAIN MENU

line and press the Set Button

Speaker Setup

This menu tells the DPR which type of speakers

are in use. This is important as it adjusts the set-

tings that decide whether your system will use the

“5-channel” or “6-channel/7-channel” modes, as

well as determining which speakers receive low-

frequency (bass) information.

For each of these settings use the

LARGE set-

ting if the speakers for a particular position are

traditional full-range loudspeakers.

Use the

SMALL setting for smaller, frequency-

limited satellite speakers that do not reproduce

sounds below 200Hz. Note that when “small”

speakers are used, a subwoofer is required to

reproduce low-frequency sounds. Remember that

the “large” and “small” descriptions do not refer

to the actual physical size of the speakers, but to

their ability to reproduce low-frequency sounds. If

you are in doubt as to which category describes

your speakers, consult the specifications in the

speakers’ owner’s manual, or ask your dealer.

This menu screen also allows you to enter the set-

tings for the DPR’s Quadruple Crossover feature

that allows a different crossover point to be used

for the front left/right, center, surround and sur-

round back speakers. In systems where full-range

or tower speakers are used for the front sound-

stage or where different brands or models are in

use at the various speaker positions, this feature

allows you to custom tailor the bass management

and redirection circuits with a precision not

previously possible.
