Video Input Compensation for CAT5 Inputs After the system is connected, it may be necessary to adjust the video input compensation pots on the C2N-DAP8RC to achieve the best picture on the monitor.
Digital Audio Processor with Room Control Crestron C2N-DAP8RC NOTE: The Philips Pronto model transmitter contains built-in RC5 commands for out-of-the-box use. The Pronto transmitter’s RC5 System Number is equivalent to the Crestron Transmitter ID; similarly, the RC5 Command Number is equivalent to the Crestron Button ID. This means that setting up the Phillips Pronto requires only the code verification procedure described below, but not the mapping procedure.
Crestron C2N-DAP8RC Digital Audio Processor with Room Control “Transmitter Identification” Window Showing Transmitter ID Map the Universal Remote Every button press on a transmitter is assigned a decimal Button ID. These button presses must be mapped to commands that will be programmed in SIMPL Windows. This is accomplished simply by pressing each button and taking note of its Button ID, via the “Transmitter Identification” window. Operations Guide – DOC. 8187A 1.
Digital Audio Processor with Room Control Crestron C2N-DAP8RC Surround Sound System Setup After completing the hardware hookup procedures, perform these procedures to set the C2N-DAP8RC surround sound default values according to the actual environment of the listening area. Crestron recommends the use of its Digital Audio Tools program (DAT) to configure the surround sound system because of the program’s simplicity, speed, and ease of operation.

DAT Program Procedures After launching DAT, either open an existing program for the C2N-DAP8RC, or start a new program and choose the C2N-DAP8RC template. The following paragraphs describe the features and functions of the DAT program.
Crestron C2N-DAP8RC Digital Audio Processor with Room Control This screen lets you select any available source signal from any of the C2NDAP8RC audio ports or internal noise and direct it to a particular speaker to enable setting the filters for optimum response. If you select one of the Internal Noise sources (Pink or Dolby), the Source Select drop down list is dimmed and unavailable.
Digital Audio Processor with Room Control Crestron C2N-DAP8RC The Mute button on the lower right of all screens is intended as a “panic” button to prevent damage to speakers in the event of sudden large increases in sound level, which can occur when switching from one sound source to another. Pressing this button again does not turn mute off. Turn mute off, after the problem is resolved, as stated above.
Crestron C2N-DAP8RC Digital Audio Processor with Room Control Dolby Noise: Dolby Noise is Dolby Laboratories version of noise intended for calibrating a room that uses only Dolby’s Surround formats for its listening modes. Dolby specifically created this noise to represent what a home theater frequency response should be. A flat response is not intended when using this noise in calibration of a room.
Digital Audio Processor with Room Control Crestron C2N-DAP8RC Set up for communications as follows: 1. Initially, the Pass To check box is not selected indicating a direct connection from your PC to the C2N-DAP8RC. Select Pass To if your PC and the C2N-DAP8RC are connected through the control system via Cresnet. Make certain the Cresnet ID setting is correct (50 is the default for the C2N-DAP8RC). Refer to “Identity Code” on page 12 for more information on setting the Cresnet ID. 2.
Crestron C2N-DAP8RC Digital Audio Processor with Room Control “Port Settings” Window Speaker Sizes / Bass Management This screen lets you specify the room speaker arrangement, and set the crossover frequency for the subwoofer. Click on the appropriate buttons to identify the existing speaker arrangement; use the Crossover Frequency drop-down list to specify the crossover frequency for the Operations Guide – DOC.
Digital Audio Processor with Room Control Crestron C2N-DAP8RC subwoofer (if present). The distinction between Large and Small speakers here is their ability to provide effective sound in the low frequency range (120 Hz and below), not their physical size. Speakers designated as Large will receive low frequency signals. Low frequency signals appearing in channels with speakers designated as Small will be filtered out and routed to the subwoofer.
Crestron C2N-DAP8RC Digital Audio Processor with Room Control During room calibration, this screen lets you set the master volume (e.g., -10 dB) and then modify the gain of each speaker in the system to make the sound of each speaker heard at the same level. Generally, a calibration level is chosen between 75 dB and 85 dB when playing Dolby Noise and all speakers are adjusted to the same level. The zero button to the left of the Front Left slider resets all speaker sliders to 0.
Digital Audio Processor with Room Control Crestron C2N-DAP8RC Selecting the button to the right of the Input Source pull-down list produces a window with a field where you can enter a specific name, such as CD Changer, VCR, or DVD, to help you keep track of multiple sources. Each input source signal type can be assigned a specific decoding mode. The signal type for all analog sources is 2-channel. You can assign a decoding mode to each analog source via the Decoding Mode drop-down list.
Crestron C2N-DAP8RC Digital Audio Processor with Room Control Output Settings Select the Output Settings tab to specify the relative gain for each speaker in the room for each decoding mode. These settings allow you to make adjustments in the surround sound configuration to suit your personal preferences.
Digital Audio Processor with Room Control Crestron C2N-DAP8RC Dimension This control allows the user to gradually adjust the soundfield either towards the front or the rear. This can be useful to help achieve the desired balance from all the speakers with certain recordings that may contain either too much or too little spatial effect. Step “0” is the recommended setting, which has no effect on the sound.
Crestron C2N-DAP8RC Digital Audio Processor with Room Control In either case, the filter frequencies are fixed, and the gain for each frequency is adjustable from 5 dB to –10 dB. The default gain is 0 dB. If you choose either three or five graphic equalizer filters, you can also specify up to 10 trim presets using the EQ Trim Preset drop-down list. Parametric Equalizers The Parametric EQ tab allows you to adjust the frequency response interaction within the room for each speaker in the system.
