Operation Manual

• DecoderStation 7 15
Crossover frequency
With the crossover frequency, you define the frequency,
up to which the subwoofer should be active. Possible
values: 80 to 250 Hz in eight steps.
You can also set the edge steepness: This is the level,
which is still present at the subwoofer above the crossover
frequency. Possible values: –24 dB and –36 dB.
Enter –24 dB for normal speakers. For satellite speakers
with bassreflex openings, the acoustic efficiency declines
more sharply — so select -36 dB for optimal actuation of
the subwoofer.
You can find information on the recommended crossover
frequency in the technical data of the satellite speakers in
our webshop.
Distance
The surround sound effect may be corrupted if the speak-
ers are positioned at different distances to the listening
position. To compensate for these differences in run time,
you can set slight signal delays for all channels. Measure
the difference from the listening position to the speakers
and enter these values in the menu. The system calculates
the required delays on this basis.
“System Setup” menu
HDMI
CEC (Consumer Electronics Control)
If this function has been activated (ON), CEC-compatible
devices are controlled with a control command issued via
the HDMI connection. For example, the DecoderStation 7
and the connected devices are automatically activated
and deactivated via the remote control of the TV set.
ARC (Audio Return Channel)
This option offers receiving audio from the TV via the
HDMI cable (for TV sets that support this function).
Audio from television sets runs to the DecoderStation 7
through the HDMI cable without having to connect
another cable. If the ARC function is activated, the
“COAXIAL 1” input (9) is no longer available.
Possible settings: OFF, ON.
Important!
Please note that many television sets only have
one HDMI input that supports the ARC function.
To use ARC you must also activate CEC.
Note: If the CEC function is activated, standby power
consumption increases.
Automatic deactivation
After a certain time of inactivity, the device automatically
switches to standby after a preset time. Possible values:
60 min. (default), 30 min., never.
Power On Level
Here you can set the volume of your device when it is
activated:
• last: The volume that was set at deactivating.
• fixed: Fixed volume from -40 dB (low) to +10 dB (very
loud).
5.1/7.1
With this, you can switch between 5.1 and 7.1 operation
and also set the function of the analogue output 14 “RC/
PRE OUT” (see page 10), which you can connect a stereo
amplifier, active speaker or radio transmission system.
This makes it possible to project sound into another room
or connect to the rear center speakers in 7.1 opera-
tion using RF audio transmission system (such as Teufel
Rear Station 4).
5.1 Converts (via downmix) the 5.1 audio
signal to a stereo channel (2.0) to project
sound into a second room.
7.1 7.1 Operation with output of the additional
rear channels.
D/E
You can set the OSD menu language this way. Possible
values: German, English
The menu in the unit display panel 2 is always in English.
System Reset
This resets the device to the factory default.
