RETURN TO MAIN MENU
Because of the extensive options available for each input source, we strongly
recommend you use the chart on page 18 to record the settings for each
input and component. Later, if you re-congure your system, this chart will
help avoid confusion.
To congure an input:
1. Press the MENU button to enter the Main Menu.
The Main Menu appears on the Front Panel Display and the OSD.
The cursor on the OSD should be pointing to the Input Conguration
menu and
INPUT CONFIG appears on the Front Panel Display.
2. Press SELECT to enter the Input Conguration menu.
The Input Conguration menu appears on the Front Panel Display and
the OSD (see gure 1). The selected menu item should be
SOURCE .
3. Use the < and > buttons to select which particular Source
you wish to congure.
The Source choices appear as follows as you scroll through them:
DVDVIDEO1VIDEO2VIDEO3VCRTUNER FM
TUNER AMCDTAPEAUX1AUX 2
You can scroll in either direction using the < and > buttons.
4. Press the button once to select the Input menu.
5. Use the < and > buttons to select an Input for that source.
The input choices appear as follows as you scroll through them:
ANALOGOPTICAL1OPTICAL2OPTICAL3
OPTICAL4COAXIAL1COAXIAL2
You can scroll in either direction using the < and > buttons.
If you connected the source to the Analog inputs, select: ANALOG.
If you connected the source to one of the Optical Digital inputs, select
the appropriate one by choosing: OPTICAL 1, 2, 3, or 4.
If you connected the source to one of the Coaxial Digital inputs, select
the appropriate one by choosing: COAXIAL 1 or 2.
NOTE: Always connect and congure the digital input source option
if one is available from the specic component, as this will provide
maximum performance and the best sound quality.
Remember that you can always return to any menu to change your
selection, should that be required.
6. Press the button once to select the Mode menu.
7. Use the < and > buttons to select a Surround Mode for that
source.
The available surround modes appear as follows as you scroll through
them:
PLII-CPLII-MDOLBY PL7 STEREO
5 STEREOSTEREOPLIIC+CRPLIIM+CR
NEO:6-CNEO:6-MDOLBY DDOLBY EX
DTSDTS-ES
You can scroll in either direction using the < and > buttons. Select
a surround mode to be the default for this source. Please refer to the
table on page 12 for a detailed listing of all options. Remember that
all available mode options can be selected for a Digital input source,
but certain modes will not be available through the Analog input for
that source.
Selecting a default mode will not exclude other modes of surround
decoding. In fact, certain digital signals (Dolby Digital, DTS, some
Dolby Digital EX, and others) contain a special digital “ag” that tells
the P-2000 to switch to that surround mode. When the P-2000 receives
one of these ags it will automatically switch to that mode of opera-
tion. Additionally, you can manually cycle through the available modes
while the source is playing to choose the one you wish to use.
8. Press the button once to select the Treble menu.
9. Use the < and > buttons to adjust the Treble.
The amount of Treble boost can be adjusted ±6dB in 2dB increments.
10. Press the button once to select the Bass menu.
11. Use the < and > buttons to adjust the Bass.
The amount of Bass boost can be adjusted ±6dB in 2dB increments.
NOTE: Any tone control settings you make in this mode are global,
and will affect all input sources. They will remain in effect until you go
back into the setup menu and change them or change them using the
TONE button on the remote control.
12. Press the button to select the Night menu.
NOTE: This option only operates with a Dolby Digital or Dolby
Digital EX source and one of these modes is active.
This option allows you to set the amount of Dynamic Range Com-
pression used when the P-2000 is placed into the NIGHT mode. This
mode can also be selected by pressing the NIGHT button on the
remote control.
There are two types of automatic compression control built into the
Dolby Digital process. Compression makes the loud parts softer and
the soft parts louder to reduce the difference between the two.
