ADJUSTING CHANNEL LEVELS ‘ON THE FLY’
You can make changes to the relative levels of center, surround and
subwoofer outputs without having to go into the ‘Speaker Levels’ menu.
This is very convenient in circumstances like increasing (or tone down)
a lm’s dialog level by raising (lowering) the center channel or reducing
excessive deep bass (or enhance deep bass) by lowering (raising) the
subwoofer level.
Use the HTR 8’s ’SURR,’ ‘CENT’ and ‘SUB’ keys for direct-access level
adjustment of these channels over a range of ±6 dB.
The surround back channels (if any) adjust in lockstep with the surround
channels.
NOTE
Level settings adjusted ‘On the Fly’ are added or subtracted to the setup
levels established at the T 777 level-calibration routine as invoked by
the HTR 8 ‘Test’ key. However, selecting any Preset will revert the channel
levels to those stored in the preset. It will also take T 777 o the levels set
via Audyssey Auto Calibration.
ZONE SETUP
The Zone feature allows one to simultaneously experience in dierent
zones of the house multiple sound sources from all enabled Sources as well
as from Front Input, Media Player and Tuner.
The T 777 has three congurable Zones – Zone 2, Zone 3 and Zone 4. Use a
combination of [A/S/D/F] and [ENTER] keys to navigate through the Zone
Setup menu parameters.
VOLUME
Zone 2 have Fixed and Variable volume control. When set to ‘Variable’
and while at the ‘Zone Controls’ menu OSD, the Zone 2 Volume level can
be adjusted using the HTR 8’s [D/F] or the corresponding front panel
navigation buttons or directly via ZR 7’s [VOL d/f].
On the other hand, if Volume is set to ‘Fixed,’ the Zone 2 Volume is set to
a preset dB level and thereafter the Zone’s volume can be varied via the
volume control of the separate amplier it is fed into.
MODE
Zone 3 and Zone 4 can be congured into two modes - Record Out and
Zone (Audio Only). If the selected mode is “Record out”, the audio of the
assigned Source is directly sent out to the applicable Audio output (See
Item 3 AUDIO 1-6/VIDEO 1-3/S-VIDEO 1-3). When Zone 3 or Zone 4 is set to
“Record Out” mode, they will not be available at the “Zone Controls’ section
of the Main Menu window.
Zone 2 and Zone 3 ‘Volume’ will function the same way as that of Zone 2
when ‘Mode’ is set to ‘Zone (Audio Only).’
See discussion also on ‘Zone Controls’ at the Main Menu.
NOTE
The ZR 7 remote control will only control Zone 2 applications.
AMPLIFIER SETUP
If the surround back speakers are not used in the main zone, their surround
back amplier channels could be assigned for Main back, Main Front (Bi-
Amp) and multi-zone use.
The Surround Back amplier is congurable through the following settings
• MainBack: Assign as surround back speakers.
• MainFront(Bi-Amp): Provide a bi-amp mode for the Main Front
speakers (Left and Right) speakers thus reproducing the Front Left and
Front Right amplier channel outputs.
• Zone2: Assign the surround back amplier channels to supply Zone 2
speaker level outputs from the surround back speaker terminals.
• Zone3: Assign the surround back amplier channels to supply Zone 3
speaker level outputs from the surround back speaker terminals.
• Zone4: Assign the surround back amplier channels to supply Zone 4
speaker level outputs from the surround back speaker terminals.
