5.1 Decoder Module 3 Re:source 5.1 Decoder Module The 5.1 Decoder module forms the core of the M51’s audio processing with all functions, which the puristic Stereo and the inspired home cinema listener expects. It monitors and controls all the audio signals; it generates all the home cinema signals and sends them on to the outputs. The 5.1 Decoder Module handles the conversion of the symmetrical analogue signals in ultra-linear stereo operation.
.1 Decoder Module 3 Re:source Installation The 5.1 Decoder plug-in card has the most modern technology on it and should be handled with care. To be on the safe side, you should discharge any static from yourself by touching an earthed metal object such as a radiator. Before you start to install the card, the M51 must be switched off and the power plug must be removed from the power socket.
5.1 Decoder Module 3 Re:source 5.1 Decoder connections Line outputs REVOX The 5.1 Decoder offers 6 line outputs where audio signals are available in 5.1 format.
5.1 Decoder Module 3 Re:source Digital inputs These line outputs are used to supply external outputs. In the same way, active speakers can be connected. In Home cinema operation, the active subwoofer is principally controlled by the SUB output. The 5.1 Decoder Module can play back digital sources such as a CD, MD or DAT player using the three digital inputs DIGITAL IN 1-3. You should connect the external devices to the 5.
5.1 Decoder Module 3 Re:source Edit source name Edit function The 5.1 Decoder Module offers you the option to select your own name for the inputs. In this way, you no longer have to remember which external device you have connected to which input. You can label it accordingly. You will move to the following menu display by pressing the Edit Name softkey. Select the digital source in the SOURCE menu whose name you want to change.
5.1 Decoder Module 3 Re:source 5.1 Decoder menu Room sound programs As the 5.1 Decoder module is the central unit for the processing of audio signals, this module has been assigned its own function key, namely the large key labelled as Amplifier on the front of the M51. The Amplifier button brings you directly into the 5.1 Decoder Main Menu.
5.1 Decoder Module 3 Re:source Sound field description Pro Logic II is a further development of Dolby Pro Logic and was developed especially for the surround-sound playback of pure stereo sources, alongside the other well-known decoding of Pro Logic sound material (mainly films). When you play a DVD, whether using the M51's internal drive or an external device over DIGITAL IN, the 5.1 audio format that the DVD requires is automatically selected.
5.1 Decoder Module 3 Re:source Center Width This parameter allows you to define the centre settings, allowing you to choose to hear the centre range just from the Center speaker, to hear it as a "phantom centre" using the right and lefthand speakers or to setup a combination of all three speakers. Depending on the requirements of your living room, you can choose, for instance, to have a partial mixture of the three front speakers or a wider or more compact sound picture.
5.1 Decoder Module 3 Re:source Matrix This parameter primarily increases the surround effect for programmes sources recorded in stereo sound, by using an elaborate Dolby Matrix decoder. Stereo Additionally, it is possible to listen to music in pure stereo with out the influence of any room sound program. In the lower display field this is indicated with . In this case, the audio cables are connected directly to the outputs on an ultra linear amplifier path.
5.1 Decoder Module 3 Re:source Amplifier sub-menu A) Level setting The sound fields have different sub-menus where you can define your specific sound requirements. Not each submenu is available for all sound fields. The sub-menu shown below suggests level settings for the surround speakers, including Center and Subwoofer: A) The speakers can be adjusted to the correct volume ratio to the main speakers using the softkeys.
5.1 Decoder Module 3 Re:source A) Adjusting the Subwoofer Resetting the level Unlike the normal passive speakers that are connected to the M51 speaker outputs, active subwoofers have their own volume control. Level settings can be reset to the neutral mid-position with the Reset key. To set the correct basic volume, you should first bring the subwoofer level to the neutral mid-position with the Reset key. Then you should adjust the volume at the subwoofer itself to suit your listening position.
5.1 Decoder Module 3 Re:source B) Bass and treble C) Dynamic range As well as the sound field settings, you also have the option of increasing or decreasing the bass and treble levels in the range of ± 12dB. With DVD playback, you can modify the volume dynamic range. If you select the setting Maximum, the dynamics are played back in an unmodified form. This means that the quietest and the loudest passages maintain the whole level range.
5.1 Decoder Module 3 Re:source D) Lipsync Delay You can adjust the time delay in steps of 5 ms using the two softkeys – Delay +. To do this, you are advised to select a DVD which features drums or other percussion instruments. This is the easiest way to be able to synchronise picture and sound with each other. Using the Lipsync Delay setting, you can modify the timing of the audio signal, to allow for the time delay of the video signal caused by the system.
5.1 Decoder Module 3 Re:source Amplifier Setup Speaker configuration Using the Setup menu, you can adapt your loudspeakers to the optimum acoustics with the M51. The first page in the Amplifier setup covers the configuration of home cinema speakers. Here, you can define which speakers you have connected and whether these are large speakers with the full frequency range or smaller speakers with limited bass reproduction.
5.1 Decoder Module 3 Re:source 1 Large 2 Small The speaker receives the full frequency range. The speaker only receives frequencies above 80 Hz. This is the right setting for speakers whose bass speaker has a diameter of at least 12cm and as a result can reproduce frequencies under 80 Hz. This is the right setting for smaller speakers, which because of their smaller size cannot reproduce frequencies under 80 Hz. As a rule, these are small or satellite speakers with bass cones smaller than 12cm.
5.1 Decoder Module 3 Re:source 3 None The setting None deactivates the speaker output. There is no signal at the output available. This setting is selected if you want to work without this speaker. This setting is only available for the Center and rear surround speakers. Speakers with the setting None do not appear in the amplifier menu. In the above example, the Center is deactivated.
5.1 Decoder Module 3 Re:source Subwoofer Speaker settings Main speaker Using the Subwoofer menu, you can setup the operation of an active subwoofer in the whole speaker concept. The settings Large, Small and Digital are available here. Optically, the status of the speakers is shown in the display with the symbol or . Center speaker The Center can also be configured as Large, Small or None. With the None setting, the Center signal is split between the two front speakers.
5.1 Decoder Module 3 Re:source Subwoofer Sur. and Stereo Subwoofer Surround only This mode is recommended if the active subwoofer should work with multi-channel reproduction ( DSP Spatial, Dolby Pro Logic, e.g.) and in Pure Stereo operation. In this mode, the subwoofer is only activated if a surround sound such as Movie, Matrix, DSP Spatial e.g. is selected. In Pure Analog operation such as Pure Analog, DSP Stereo or Digital Stereo, the subwoofer remains silent.
5.1 Decoder Module 3 Re:source Subwoofer None Adjusting volumes The second page of the setup menu gives you the option of adjusting the volume to the listening position. This mode should be selected if no subwoofer is available. In this case, the main speakers must be capable of reproducing the deepest bass sounds. This is particularly necessary in the action scenes of DVD films in order to achieve the maximum live atmosphere. The layout in the centre of the display mirrors your listening area.
5.1 Decoder Module 3 Re:source Setting the levels on passive speakers The goal The aim of this exercise is that the sound should be experienced at the same intensity from each speaker. This guarantees that effects, dialogue or music reaches the ear in the correct relationship. The signal from each individual speaker can be heard for about 3 seconds. During this time, you can set the optimum volume in a range of ± 10 dB, using the rotary volume control or the remote control.
5.1 Decoder Module 3 Re:source Speaker distances Center distance Distance selection between the listening position and the individual speakers. You can setup the centre speaker distance by pressing the Distance softkey again. Here, you also use the rotary control knob to set the distance. L In order to achieve optimum acoustic reproduction, there should be a certain relationship between the front speaker distances and the centre speaker distance.
5.1 Decoder Module 3 Re:source Surround speaker distance Quit Distance As opposed to the main speakers, the rear surround speakers can be set at different distances from the listener. Simply press one of the other softkeys in the Setup menu if you want to quit the Distance menu field. By pressing the Distance softkey one more time, you can set up first the right and then the left rear surround speaker. Also here, you use the rotary control knob to set the distance.
5.1 Decoder Module 3 Re:source Adjusting amplifier power The following table shows you the relative volume reductions and the remaining power: The M51 can be equipped with two outputs with different power levels; either an analogue output [5 x 60 watt] or the more powerful digital alternative [5 x 200 watt].
