OPERATION
USING THE M17 – SETUP MENU
VIDEO INPUT
All available HDMI sources can be assigned as video input to a particular
Source. Select "Off" if it is intended not to assign any video input to a
particular Source.
HDMI $ HDMI 1, HDMI 2, HDMI 3, HDMI 4, HDMI 5
Previous $ Display or retain preceding video.
A/V PRESET
A particular Source can be assigned a stored Preset. The parameters set up
in the selected Preset number will be adopted into the particular Source it
is assigned (Please refer to the separate section on "A/V Presets" for further
understanding of Preset settings).
If it is desired not to assign the particular Source a Preset setting, select
"None".
TRIGGER OUT
The Trigger Out for a particular Source is dependent upon the
configurations done in a separate menu on Trigger Setup (See "Trigger
Setup" below). If "Source Setup" is assigned to all three Trigger output
(Trigger Out 1-3) in the separate "Trigger Setup" menu window, a particular
Source can have the following Trigger Out combinations
Trigger Out: Trigger1 $ Trigger2 $ Trigger 1+2 $ Trigger 3 $
Trigger 1+3 $ Trigger 2+3 $ Trigger1+ 2+3
Above combinations are dependent upon the assignment of "Source
Setup" for all Trigger 1 Out, Trigger 2 Out or Trigger 3 Out settings at the
"Trigger Setup" menu. If only Trigger 1 Out is set "Source Setup", only
"Trigger 1" and "None" are available options at Trigger Out setting for a
particular Source.
None: Particular Source is not assigned any Trigger Out option.
IMPORTANT
For "Trigger Out" to be assignable at "Source Setup" menu, make sure to
carry out following.
•
In the separate "Trigger Setup" menu, assign Trigger 1 Out, Trigger 2 Out
or Trigger 3 Out to "Source Setup. "
•
"Trigger Out" will not be configurable and remain at "None" setting if at
the separate "Trigger Setup" menu, none of the Trigger 1 Out, Trigger 2
Out or Trigger 3 Out settings is allocated to "Source Setup. "
SPEAKER SETUP
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 are the Speaker Setup Menu sections.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The M17 is an AV Surround Sound Preamplifier and therefore has no
speakers. The mention of "Speaker(s)" in this manual refers to the
speakers of your external amplifier as interfaced with the M17.

SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
Every surround-sound system requires "bass-management" to direct low-
frequency 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.
•
A "Small" speaker is any model, regardless of physical size, that lacks
significant deep-bass response, that is, below about 200 Hz.
•
A "Large" speaker is any full-range model; that is, one with deep-bass
response
•
An "Off" speaker is one that is not present in your system. For example,
you might not have any surround-back speakers installed; in that case,
you would set the "Back" setup item to "Off".
•
For "Height" speakers, selecting "Off" option for "Height 1" will
automatically cut off both Height 1 and Height 2 Audio output.
The Speaker Configuration is "global"; that is, it remains in force with all
inputs and in all listening modes. However, speaker settings are part of the
M17's Preset system. Consequently, multiple speaker settings can be stored
for easy recall as different types of recordings or listening modes require.
Speaker Configuration can be managed and adjusted by pressing
a combination of [S] and then [D/F] keys. Set "Front", "Center" and
"Surround" to "Large", "Small" or "Off" as your subsystem's speakers require.
Set "Back" to either "Stereo" or "Mono" as per speaker availability. Set
"Subwoofer" to "On" or "Off, "selecting "On" only if you have a subwoofer
connected to the M17's SUBW1 or SUBW2 output jack. If "Subwoofer" is set
to "Off", "Front" speakers will automatically be set to "Large".
HEIGHT 1/HEIGHT 2
"Height 1" and "Height 2" AUDIO PRE-OUT can be connected to the audio
input of an external power amplifier hooked up with up to 4 Height
speakers.
Height1/Height 2 settings must be set to "On" at the "Speaker
Configuration" menu to activate the additional Height speakers and be
configurable.
