ADVANCED SETUP FEATURES
WARNING - The following describes the advanced features of the Preamplifier Tuner. Since changing
some of these functions may cause severe effects such as no sound or no remote control operation, we suggest
you leave this menu disabled (hidden) for normal operation. If you are unsure of what you are changing
DO NOT
perform any advanced operations. These features may be activated by simultaneously pressing the SLEEP,
DOWN, and UP buttons on the front panel of the Preamplifier Tuner. It will be assumed the user of these
advanced features is already familiar with how to navigate and adjust parameters in the Preamplifier Tuner's
MENU system. An Advanced Setup Flow Chart has been supplied at the end of this manual as a visual aid for the
menu’s navigation.
Note - if you have enabled the Advanced Visible option then you can return to this menu to hide the advanced
visible selection by simultaneously pressing the SLEEP, TUNE-, and TUNE+ buttons and selecting Hidden.
MISCELLANEOUS SETUP
Configuration will allow you to set a maximum volume level and change remote control ID codes for use in a
multi-zone application.
Max Level
Max level allows you to set a maximum volume level. This is very useful if you are using speakers or amplifiers
that can’t handle the output level from your Preamplifier Tuner or if you simply wish to limit the volume that can be
achieved using normal front panel or remote operation.
Max Level may be set from -74 dB to + 8 dB (default).
WARNING - If you set this level too low, the Preamplifier Tuner may appear broken (no sound).
Product ID Code Set and Zone ID
Messages transmitted from a B&K Components Ltd remote control consist of two parts. Part one is the Product ID
Code Set, more commonly referred to as the Zone ID number i.e. Zone 1, Zone 2 etc. The Zone ID is a B&K
concept that allows multiple B&K products to be controlled from the same B&K remote. The PT5 has support for
16 Zone ID code sets ranging from 1 to 16. The second part of the remote control message consists of the Data
representing the desired function i.e. Volume UP, Volume DN, CD, DVD, etc.
Your Preamplifier Tuner is referred to as
Zone 2 because it has a factory default Product ID Code Set (Zone ID)
setting of 2. For proper operation and integration with systems using other B&K Components products, you may
need to change the Product ID Code Set (Zone ID) to a value other than the factory default setting of 2.
WARNING - If you change the Product ID Code Set (Zone ID) in the PT5, then its supplied Zone 2 remote
will no longer appear to work. For use with other than the supplied remote control, refer to the separate
remote manual for details on changing the remote’s Product ID Code Set (Zone ID) “device code”. B&K
Components Ltd. AV5.1 and AV7.1 remote controls have the capability to generate IR messages for up to
16 product ID code sets.
POWER ON TITLES
When you turn your Preamplifier Tuner on it displays three lines of text on the front panel’s alphanumeric display.
You can change two of these lines of text to a personalized message.
