Nº502 Media Console Customizing the Nº502
• Fill – select when viewing content of a full-frame (4:3) source on a
16:9 display or when viewing the content of a letterbox (widescreen)
source on a 4:3 display. In the second case, if the source material is an
aspect ratio other than 16:9, the letterboxing may not be totally
removed.
• Fill + Widescreen – select for the maximum amount of zoom. This
is equivalent to having both Fill and Widescreen zoom modes active
at the same time. Picture content may be cropped on the top, bottom,
and sides.
The Zoom Ratio parameter removes or reduces the black bars from
letterboxing or pillarboxing by zooming into the picture. This results in
the slight cropping of image edges and a small amount of resolution loss
due to image scaling, but no geometric distortions are added to the source
materials.
SD Component
Black Level
The SD (Standard Definition) Component Black Level parameter sets the
black level of the video output. The black level is the adjustment required
to reach a pure black, or true black, image display. Video displays are
calibrated so that the black of the image display is true to the black infor-
mation of the video signal. Available selections are 0 IRE and 7.5 IRE.
Select the setting that best matches the capabilities of the display.
Note This parameter is only available in 480i format on the component video
output.
Setup Step 2: Speakers
The second decision you need to make is how many speakers your
home theater system must support. Specifically, what is the maximum
number of speakers and subwoofers that you plan to use?
Add a new Speaker Setup for the maximum number of
speakers, including subwoofers, that you plan to use in your
home theater system and name it “Master”. Or select the preset that most
closely matches your maximum speaker configuration and modify it.
Calibrate the Master Speaker Setup, using the Automatic Calibration
process described in the next section, “Speaker Setup”. This provides you
with a maximum-speaker system that is fully calibrated for speaker
distances, output levels, and Room Correction.
There is a specific purpose to creating this master speaker configuration,
and it’s an important feature of the Nº502 Media Console.
The main advantage of this master speaker configuration, coupled with
the Add New functionality, is it dramatically reduces the amount of time
needed to setup and calibrate the speakers of your home theater system.
