Owner's Manual

SETUP MENU
The Setup Menu allows one to customize the operation of the T 187 to the ancillary
equipment used in one’s specic AV system. Unless your system exactly matches
the factory defaults as shown in the accompanying Quick Start Guide, you will need
to use the setup menu to congure the inputs of the T 187.
At Setup Menu, the following are congurable – Control/HDMI Setup,
Source Setup, Speaker Setup, Zone Setup, Trigger Setup, Listening Mode
Setup, Display Setup and A/V Presets.
To access and navigate through Setup Menu and its sub-menu selections,
please refer to and follow the directions stated in the sections ‘Display the
OSD’ and ‘Navigating the OSD and Making Changes.
CONTROL/HDMI SETUP
The T 187 supports HDMI Control (CEC) and Audio Return Channel (ARC)
functions. Both functions are possible if external devices that also support
both features are interconnected to the T 187 via HDMI connection.
ETHERNET/CEC IN STANDBY
On: Enables HDMI Control (CEC) feature.
O: T 187 stops responding and sending any CEC messages. CEC
feature is eectively defeated.
HDMI CONTROL CEC
Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) is a set of commands that utilizes
HDMI’s two- way communication to allow for single remote control of any
CEC-enabled devices connected with HDMI. A CEC command will trigger
the necessary commands over HDMI for an entire system to auto-congure
itself to respond to the command.
When devices that support HDMI Control (CEC) are connected, the
following modes of operation can be executed via the T 187 or the external
device using any of the device’s remote control.
O: Applies to all CEC options below. At “O setting, particular CEC
feature is defeated.
Power: At “On” setting, the T 187 will automatically go to standby mode
if it receives a CEC standby command. On the other hand, if the T 187
receives a CEC power up command, the T 187 will correspondingly
switch ON from standby mode.
Source Switch: At “On” setting, the T 187 will automatically switch
sources if another CEC device requests a Source change.
For example, if PLAY is pressed on a BD Player with CEC, the T 187
and TV with CEC will automatically switch to their respective input
connections – the T 187 switching to the HDMI input where the BD
Player is connected while the TV will switch to its input where the
T 187’s HDMI MONITOR OUT is connected. This completes the auto-
conguration – the BD Player is automatically played back using the
T 187 and TV.
Audio System: At “On setting, the T 187 will broadcast a CEC message
indicating it is an active audio system. A CEC compatible TV will usually
mute its audio output when this happens. When this option is enabled,
the T 187 will also respond to CEC volume and mute commands. For
example, a CEC TV may forward the volume commands from its remote
to the T 187.
ARC Mode: Audio Return Channel (ARC) enables an ARC-enabled TV
to send audio data upstream to T 187.
This option has three choices: O, Auto or Source Setup.
Auto: When set to Auto, the T 187 will automatically attempt an
ARC audio connection to the TV whenever the TV announces over
CEC that it has become the active source. If an ARC connection can
be established, the T 187 will output the ARC audio signal no matter
what source is selected on the T 187 and will show “HDMI ARC” on
the VFD. The Auto option tends to work best when all your devices
support CEC and the Source Switch option is set to On.
Source Setup: When set to Source Setup, you can select ARC for
the digital audio input in the source setup screen. When you select
a source on the T 187 which is set for ARC, the T 187 will attempt
to initiate an ARC connection with the TV. When using this option,
you would probably also want to make sure Source Switch is o
otherwise other CEC devices may keep changing the T 187 source
when you want it to remain on the ARC source.
IMPORTANT NOTES
· Audio System” must be set to “On” for “ARC mode” to manifest as an
option.
· Audio and video will continuously stream from the HDMI source with
CEC to the TV with CEC even if the T 187 is at standby mode.
