Input Config.
The audio and video settings on this page of the Setup
menu can be tailored specifically and independently for
the currently selected input.
When a different input is selected on the Input line, all the
input-specific settings for that input are displayed below it.
These settings are applied to the named Input only and are
stored in memory and recalled each time the unit is powered
up and whenever that input is selected.
Input – The currently selected input connectors to which the
settings below relate.
Name – The display name of the input. You can change
the name of any input to more closely match your setup.
For example, if you had two satellite receivers, you could
connect the main receiver to the Sat audio and video input
connectors and change the Name to 'SAT 1' . You could then
connect the second satellite receiver to the UHD audio and
video input connectors, but change the UHD Name to 'SAT 2' .
It is then clearer to users of your Receiver which inputs they
wish to select when scrolling though.
Lip Sync – Each input can have its own setting to add a time
delay between the audio and video signals to compensate
for the sound and picture not being synchronised. This
is normally required when video processing is used in the
system for scaling or de-interlacing video. The range of lip
sync delay is 0 to 250 milliseconds.
The lip sync adjustment can only correct for delayed video. If
the audio is late set lip sync to its minimum.
Mode – Sets the initial audio decode mode for stereo sources
on this input.
Last Mode recalls the last used setting for this input
when a stereo source was applied. See section "Two-
channel source modes" on page EN-35 for more
information.
MCH. Mode – Sets the initial audio decode mode for multi-
channel digital sources on this input.
Last Mode recalls the last used setting for this input
when a stereo source was applied. See section "Multi-
channel source modes" on page EN-35 for more
information.
Bass –
Treble –
These allow you to alter the bass and treble tone controls
for all currently active speakers for each individual input. For
example, if your PVR source sounds a little bass light, you
can always correct for this by selecting PVR on the Input
line at the top of this menu and add 2 or 3dB to the Bass
control. Then, whenever the PVR input is selected, the bass
is automatically boosted for as long as that input is selected.
Room EQ – When the Dirac Live application is run and EQ
filters are downloaded into one of the three slots available,
this can be selected.
Not Calculated: (Information only) There are no EQ
filters, so cannot be selected.
Project Name: Dirac Live Room EQ is applied to
the current source and will display the name of the
project from the Dirac Live application.
Off: Dirac Live Room EQ is not applied to the current
source.
Input Trim – Sets the maximum analogue input signal
level (sensitivity) on this input before the ADC (Analogue-
to-Digital converter) signal path clips. Options are 1, 2 and
4 volts RMS maximum input. The default is 2Vrms maximum.
For example, analogue sources with low output levels may
benefit by choosing the 1V maximum setting. This helps
maximise signal-to-noise performance of the Receiver and
also helps keep the various analogue sources sounding
about the same level for any given Receiver volume control
setting.
Dolby Audio Processing – Applies Dolby Audio Processing
to the incoming audio.
Off: (default) Dolby Audio Processing is not applied
to this input.
Movie: Suitable for movie viewing.
Music: Suitable for music listening.
Night: Compresses the audio to be more suitable for late
night viewing or listening.
Stereo Mode – If you have configured your system to have
a subwoofer, then you have the flexibility to choose how
bass information is distributed between the front left/right
speakers and the subwoofer when listening to stereo (two
channel only) analogue and digital sources. Choose the
option which gives you the most solid, even sounding bass.
If you are using a subwoofer for stereo, please also see Sub
Stereo below to set the level of the subwoofer. For best
results test with a setup disc or live programme material. This
setting can be used to override your normal speaker settings
in the Spkr Types menu whenever the Receiver plays stereo
material. It is quite common to find that two channel stereo
music listening is best done with a slightly different sub/
speaker setting than for surround movies.
As Spkr Types: When an analogue or digital stereo
source is played, your normal speaker configuration
(as in Spkr Types menu) is used to reproduce the
signal.
Left/Right: Full frequency stereo information. All
audio is sent to the front left and right speakers only
without any bass redirection. You can use this setting
if you consider your front left/right speakers to be
able to handle the full frequency range of music.
If you have set your front left/right speaker size as
Small in the Spkr Types setup page, you may wish
to use this option to override the setting to Large
for stereo music listening, if you have full frequency
range left/right speakers. It can often be beneficial to
set full frequency range speakers to Small in the Spkr
Types setup page for use with movies, if you have
a subwoofer in your system. Doing so may deliver
more impact on movie soundtracks as subwoofers
are designed to handle reproduction of high bass
content. However you may find that for stereo music
a better overall result is obtained by not using the
subwoofer and effectively treating the front left/right
speakers as Large.
EN-31
Left/Right+Sub: Full frequency range stereo is fed to
the front left and right speakers and extracted bass is
sent to the subwoofer. In this case the low frequency
information is effectively duplicated.
Sat+Sub: Use this setting if you really do have Small
satellite front left and right speakers, or if you prefer
the overall sound of bass being handled by the
subwoofer. Full bass management is used so that
analogue and digital stereo sources are fed to the
DSP where the bass is filtered off front left and right
and redirected to the subwoofer.
NOTE: The Stereo Mode function is not available when
using an analogue source in Stereo Direct mode.
Sub Stereo – If Left/Right+Sub or Sat+Sub is selected in
Stereo Mode above, this setting adjusts the level of the
subwoofer when the source is two channel stereo.
IMAX mode (AVR11, AVR21, AVR31, AV41) – Selects if IMAX
mode is enabled from the incoming audio stream (auto) or
forced on or off.
Auro-matic 3D (AVR11, AVR21, AVR31, AV41) – Selects the
mode of the Auro-matic 3D upmixer.
Small: Adjusts the upmixer for a small-sized room.
Medium: (default) Adjusts the upmixer for a
medium-sized room
Large: Adjusts the upmixer for a large-sized room.
Movie: Adjusts the upmixer for film material.
Speech: Adjusts the upmixer to focus on speech
intelligibility.
Auro-matic 3D Strength (AVR11, AVR21, AVR31, AV41)
– Adjusts the amount of unprocessed to processed signal
when using the Auro-Matic 3D upmixer.
Audio Source – Selects the particular connection type
for each input. The default is HDMI for inputs with an
HDMI connection and Digital for inputs without an HDMI
connection. This setting must be changed if another
connection is used.
