TONE Menu
The Bass and Treble can be boosted or cut by up to 10 dB.
INPUTS Menu
These menus let you select which input you would like
to configure. Pressing the joystick right on each input
brings up a second menu which allows you to config-
ure what happens when each input is selected.
INPUT CONFIGURATION MENUS (The example shows the DVD menu)
NAME - Use the joystick up/down, and left/right to change the
display name for any input, up to 9 characters. Move fully to the
left after entering the name.
GAIN TRIM - Use this to adjust all of your sources to
play at similar levels. To prevent overloading, the lev-
els can only be adjusted downwards. You should try
and trim all the inputs to be the same average level as
your quietest source.
DEFAULT MODE - Set the input to a favorite surround
mode or stereo.
MAIN ZONE - Enable/disable the selected input in the
Main Zone. You can set up your system so any un-used
inputs are not selectable. From the factory, the inputs
are enabled. If you choose to disable an input, then it
will not play in the Main Zone.
TRIGGER RELAY - The Trigger Relay can be set to
turn on whenever the input is selected. This could be used to turn
on an amplifier, video screen, lighting controls, etc.
ZONE 2 - Enable or disable the input for use in Zone 2. Some-
times this is a useful idea to implement when a simple
selection is desired in the second zone (such as a patio,
play room, garage, or bedroom).
Note: The 8-Channel input menu is different
from the other menus as it allows you to se-
lect a specific video input whenever the 8-
Channel audio input is selected. Also, this
input only works in the MAIN ZONE, not
in ZONE 2.
