Edit Source Name; Surround Mode Operation - B&K p/n 12698 Owner's Manual

Edit Source Name

From the factory, your A/V System Controller will display source names that match those printed on the rear of the
A/V System Controller and on the supplied remote. However, this menu allows you to change the displayed names
to match the actual sources used. If you do not want to change the names then skip this step. Note that the tuner
name cannot be changed. Check that you are in USER PREFERENCE SETUP and that the remote is in AUDIO
mode.

Surround Mode Operation

This menu allows you to set the level of automation your A/V System Controller will apply in choosing a surround
mode and make a special setup for stereo listening. Check that you are in USER PREFERENCE SETUP and that
the remote is in AUDIO mode.
Set Surround Operation - Most users wll prefer the factory setting - AUTOMATIC. In this mode the A/V System
Controller automatically sets the surround mode to full 5.1 channel operation (or as many as permitted by your
speaker setup) whenever a Dolby Digital or DTS bitstream is detected regardless of what surround mode you
have selected. For example, load your CD changer with a normal PCM CD, a DTS CD, and another normal PCM
CD and set the surround mode to 3-STEREO. While the PCM CD is playing you will get sound from the front and
center speakers only. When the disc changes to the DTS CD you will get sound from front, center, and rear. When
the third (PCM) CD starts the A/V System Controller returns to 3-STEREO. Note that if a Dolby Digital or DTS
source is currently playing and you change the surround mode the A/V System Controller will stay in the selected
surround mode until you change to another disc. In MANUAL mode the chosen surround mode remains set
regardless of the bitstream detected. In the above example only the front and center speakers would be used on
all three CDs even though the DTS CD was capable of providing full 5 channel sound. Note that the rear channel
information is not lost. It is simply mixed into the front speakers.
