background of the on-screen
display, or NO to blank the
video image when the on-
screen display is displayed.

Speaker settings
Allows you to set up the speakers:

specify whether the front
speakers can handle bass.
CENTER Select NONE, SMALL, or LARGE
to specify whether there
is a center speaker in the
system, and whether it is
small or large.
SURR Select NONE, SMALL, or LARGE
to specify information
about the surround
speakers.
SURR BACK Select NONE, 1/SMALL, 1/
LARGE, 2/SMALL, or 2/LARGE
to specify the number and
size of the surround back
speakers.
SUBWOOFER Select OFF or ON to specify
whether the layout should
include a subwoofer.
LR+LFE XOVER
CENTER XOVER
SURR XOVER
Allows you to define the
crossover frequency (40Hz
to 200Hz) used for the LFE,
CENTER, and SURR speakers.
Set MODE to GENERAL, and then set
the other parameters as appropriate
for the speakers in your system.
You can then define DOLBY D, DTS, and
OTHER modes, which can be used to
add an offset to the GENERAL settings
for Dolby Digital, DTS, and 2-channel
sources respectively.
Level settings
Allows you to adjust the levels so that
the sound from each speaker is equally
loud at the listening position.
Highlight each of the speakers in
turn; a white noise signal will be
played through the speaker.
Use the < and > buttons on the
remote control to adjust the level.
For best results measure the level at
the listening position using a Sound
Pressure Level meter.
Speaker distance
Allows you to specify the distance
of each speaker from the listening
position, in feet or metres. The SPA22
will then add delays to each channel
to ensure that the sound from each
speaker reaches the listener at the
same time.
You can also add an extra delay to the
surround speakers to make the sound
more spacious.
Use the < and > buttons on the
remote control to adjust the
distance or delay.
In GENERAL mode you can adjust the
distance between 0 and 20 feet (0
and 6m). Setting DISTANCE UNITS to
MS shows the calculated delays and
allows you to adjust them directly.
Control settings
Allows you to configure hardware
settings of the SPA22.
Option Description
TRIGGER Allows you to select one of
the three trigger outputs.
ASSIGNED TO Specifies when the current
trigger is active: NONE, POWER

of 0, 1, 2, or 5 secs before the
trigger is activated.
REMOTE

red remote control pointer
at the front panel, or BACK to
control the SPA22 using the IR
input on the back panel.
Note: After changing this
option you will not be able
to use the remote control to
control the SPA22. To reset
this option operate the
menus from the front panel.
FRONT PANEL Select LOCKED to lock the
front panel; you will then only
be able to operate the SPA22
via the remote control. Reset
to UNLOCKED when you turn
off the SPA22 at the back
panel.
