Hardware Setup In this section, you will perform the initial settings for the following scenarios. • When you want to change the RDC-7.1’s remote control ID. • When you want to fix the TV Format setting to PAL or NTSC. • When you want to fix the AM Frequency Step setting to 9 kHz or 10 kHz. Remote ID This section explains how to change the RDC-7.1’s remote control ID. You may need to change this if the RDC-7.1’s remote controller interferes with other IntegraRESEARCH components located in the same room.
Speaker/Output Setup The RDC-7.1 provides a wide range of variations in speaker connections and speaker settings, so you have to specify speaker settings according to conditions of each variation. For proper selection of an AV device connected at switching of the input type, you also need to allocate “audio output” and “video output” to each input type. If this allocation is incorrect, the desired component will not play a selected input source.
Speaker/Output Setup—Continued The settings in the Speaker Crossover sub-menu can be configured for both “Main A” and “Main B.” Front L/R, Center, Surr L/R, Surr Back Specify a threshold frequency in Hz for bass sounds from each speaker to be output from the subwoofer.

You can also set other speakers to “Full Band.
Speaker/Output Setup—Continued Depth When setting “Notch Filter” above to “On,” the notch filter becomes effective at the value you specify. You can specify intervals of 0.5 dB in a range from –15 dB to 0 dB. The default is –10 dB. Width The available setting values are calculated based on the values specified in the “Frequency” and “Depth” settings above. You can choose any values according to your favorite sound.
Speaker/Output Setup—Continued This setting is allowed only when “Main 2ch” is selected from the Speaker Configuration sub-menu. Place two surround back speakers as close together as possible, measure the distance, and set the value (see the figure). The maximum effects will be realized by THX’s ASA* technology. Analog 1-5 Set the analog audio output jacks of “AUDIO OUT 1-5.
Speaker/Output Setup—Continued Opt 1 Out, Opt 2 Out, Coax 1 Out, Coax 2 Out Composite Video 1-3, S-Video 1-3 Specify a setting for “DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL 1-2” and “DIGITAL OUT COAXIAL 1-2.” You can select from Tape 1 Rec Out, Tape 2 Rec Out, Video 1 Rec Out, Video 2 Rec Out, Video 3 Rec Out, Zone 2 Out, Zone 3 Out, and Not Used. This is a setting for the composite video output jacks (VIDEO OUT 1-3) and S video output jacks (S VIDEO OUT 1-3).
Input Setup Items described here are set when you press the input source buttons. The RDC-7.1 is equipped with several types of jacks in addition to the standard audio and video jacks, and multiple jacks are provided for each type. You may freely assign input sources such as CD, PHONO, TUNER, TAPE 1, TAPE 2, and VIDEO 1-6 to these jacks.
