IDENTIFICATION OF CONTROLS REAR PANEL ENGLISH 8 MONITOR OUT (COMPOSITE VIDEO) • Connect to the video input of a monitor/television using quality dual-RCA connectors designed for video signals. FRANÇAIS 9 ZONE 2-3-4 • The M17 has three configurable Zones – Zone 2, Zone 3 and Zone 4. The Zone feature allows one to simultaneously experience in a different zone or location of the house a Source assigned to a particular zone.
OPERATION LISTENING MODE The M17 employs a simple, self-explanatory system of on-screen display “menus” that will appear on the connected video monitor/TV. These are required during the setup process (and are useful in day-to-day operation), so be sure to connect the monitor/TV before proceeding with setup. Follow the guidelines about “DISPLAY THE OSD” and “NAVIGATING THE OSD AND MAKING CHANGES” to navigate through the menu options and their sub-menu selections.
OPERATION USING THE M17 – MAIN MENU ENGLISH FRANÇAIS DOLBY PRO LOGIC IIx Dolby Pro Logic IIx processes both stereo and 5.1 signals into a 6.1 or 7.1 channel output. At Dolby Pro Logic IIx, you can choose PLIIx Movie or PLIIx Music modes to tailor your listening experience to the source material. Dolby Pro Logic IIx surround processing yields more stable imaging and full bandwidth sound to the rear channels in Movie mode offering sound that is more similar to Dolby Digital decoding.
OPERATION By varying “Lip Sync Delay” from 0ms to 120ms, one can delay the audio output in order to synchronize it with the video image. ADC (ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER) RATE An analog audio input is converted to digital signal by making use of M17’s superb circuitry called analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Using this ADC Rate feature, the sampling rate of the resulting digital audio signal (available at the digital output ports) can be converted into three levels – 48K, 96K and 192K.
OPERATION USING THE M17 – MAIN MENU ENGLISH TONE CONTROLS FRANÇAIS The M17 has three Tone Control levels – Treble, Bass and Center Dialog. Bass and Treble controls only affect the low bass and high treble leaving the critical midrange frequencies free of coloration. The Center Dialog (“Dialog” in the VFD) control boosts the “presence” of the midrange region improving intelligibility of speech. ESPAÑOL These controls allow one to tweak on-the-fly, the frequency response of the source during playback.
OPERATION To access and navigate through Setup Menu and its sub-menu selections, please follow the directions stated in the sections “DISPLAY THE OSD” and “NAVIGATING THE OSD AND MAKING CHANGES”. CONTROL SETUP The M17 supports HDMI Control (CEC) and Audio Return Channel (ARC) functions. Both functions are possible if external devices that also support both features are interconnected with the M17 via HDMI connection.
OPERATION USING THE M17 – SETUP MENU ENGLISH SOURCE SETUP There are two sub-menu items under Source Setup. These are Source Setup (Normal View) and Source Setup (Table View). ANALOG AUDIO All available analog audio input can be variably assigned to any of the Sources. Scroll to “Analog Audio”, press [E] and then [R/T] to select and assign an analog audio input to the particular Source. There are two choices - Audio or Off.
OPERATION The following are the sets of assignable Digital Audio input: HDMI $ HDMI 1- 6 Optical $ Optical 1-4 Coaxial $ Coaxial 1-4 NOTE An incoming digital signal present at the assigned digital input will always take precedence over the assigned analog audio input, even if both are present. To maintain the analog audio input for the particular Source, select “Off” at the “Digital Audio” setting of the same “Source” menu. VIDEO There are three types of video input a particular Source could be assigned.
OPERATION USING THE M17 – SETUP MENU ENGLISH SPEAKER SETUP FRANÇAIS After connecting all ancillary sources and other combinations, the Speaker Setup menu will guide you on how to manage and setup your speakers in order to achieve optimum sound acoustics in your listening environment. The following measurements are performed: • Detection: Speaker configuration is detected including number of surround speakers and whether a subwoofer and center channel is connected.
OPERATION Select the Target Curve you find to be most satisfactory by pressing the Audyssey key of the remote. The MultEQ XT corrected response can also be bypassed if you wish. FRANÇAIS NEXT A TARGET CURVE MUST BE CHOSEN Because loudspeaker designers assume that their products will be used in typical domestic rooms, they are “voiced” to work in this environment. It is assumed that the room will add some bass reinforcement and will absorb some treble energy.
OPERATION USING THE M17 – SETUP MENU ENGLISH SPEAKER CONFIGURATION FRANÇAIS ESPAÑOL Every surround-sound system requires “bass-management” to direct lowfrequency content from any or all channels to the speakers best able to reproduce it. For this function to operate correctly, it is important that you correctly identify your speakers’ capabilities. We use the terms “Small” and “Large” (and “Off”) but note that physical size may be irrelevant.
OPERATION NOTES • All speakers must be in their final locations before level-setting. • Your subwoofer (if any) should be set with its integral crossover defeated, or if undefeatable, set to its highest-possible frequency if you are using the M17’s Subwoofer output. Final subwoofer-level adjustment “by-ear,” using music and film sound material, is frequently useful.
PROGRAM OPERATION EQ CLEAR REPEAT TONE L.NITE USING THE M17 – SETUP MENU DIMMER ENGLISH ADJUSTING CHANNEL LEVELS “ON THE FLY’ CHANNEL VOLUME FRANÇAIS You can make changes to the relative levels of center, surround and subwoofer outputs without having to go into the “Speaker Levels” menu.
OPERATION ENGLISH USING THE M17 – SETUP MENU LISTENING MODE SETUP The M17 features three configurable +12V DC Trigger Output that can be used to activate a component or system it is fed into. A Trigger Input is also available to turn on the applicable link it is associated to. Use a combination of [W/E/R/T] and [ENTER] keys to navigate through the Trigger Setup menu parameters. The M17 has various listening mode options and is mostly configurable.
OPERATION USING THE M17 – SETUP MENU ENGLISH DOLBY DIGITAL PLUS Dolby Digital Plus is the next-generation audio technology for all highdefinition programming and media. It combines the efficiency to meet future broadcast demands with the power and flexibility to realize the full audio potential expected in the upcoming high-definition era. FRANÇAIS Dolby Digital Plus delivers multi-channel audio programs of up to 7.
OPERATION Dyn Range Ctrl: You can select the effective dynamic range (subjective range from soft to loud) for playback of Dolby Digital soundtracks. For fully cinematic effect, always select 100%, the default. Settings of 75%, 50%, and 25% progressively reduce dynamic range, making soft sounds comparatively louder while limiting the peak loudness of loud ones.
OPERATION USING THE M17 – SETUP MENU ENGLISH FRANÇAIS DTS NEO: 6™ SURROUND This mode applies the conventional 2-channel signals such as digital PCM or analog stereo signals to the high precision digital matrix decoder used for DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 to achieve 6.1-channel surround playback. DTS Neo: 6 surround includes two modes for selecting the optimum decoding of the signal sources: DTS NEO: 6 CINEMA: This method is ideal for the reproduction of movies.
OPERATION SAMPLE PROCEDURE FOR SETTING UP A/V PRESETS 1 Setup first your preferred settings for the following options (access them through their respective menu page).
