OSD AND MONITOR OUTPUT

There are three outputs that contain the M15 OSD. These are MONITOR OUT CVBS, S-
Video, and YUV. There are two versions of OSD, SIMPLE and FULL. Each will be superimposed
over an existing video source.

NAVIGATION OF THE ON SCREEN DISPLAY (OSD) MENUS

There are seven main On Screen Menus (OSD); Audio Control, THX/SPEAKER SETUP, SOURCE
SETUP, DISPLAY SETUP, TRIGGER SETUP, ZONE 2/MS Out, and A/V PRESETS. To enter the OSD,
press the HTRM's ENTER. Use the
enter the submenu. Use the
saving changes.
Notes: Some menu options feedback direct real-time responses not requiring one to press
the ENTER button to save the selection.
Some menu lines are titles that do not have variables in them.

AUDIO CONTROL

The Audio Control menu has nine submenus, BASS, TREBLE, CENTER DIALOG, TONE
CONTROLS, ENHANCED BASS, AUDIO DELAY, LFE LEVEL, THX AUTO, and then ENHANCED
STEREO submenus.
BASS, TREBLE, CENTER DIALOG, AND TONE CONTROLS ON/OFF
These three level controls are arbitrary. These controls allow one to tweak on-the-fly the
frequency response of the source during playback in the AUDIO CONTROL OSD menu in
conjunction with the HTRM's TONE button and the navigation buttons. Maximum and
minimum values for BASS and TREBLE are +/- 10.0dB, for CENTER DIALOG they are +/- 6dB.
Notes: BASS, TREBLE and
THX off.
Tone controls are not stored in memory, but are reset every time the M15 is switched to
standby.
Turning off the tone controls bypasses all tone controls filters.
Tone controls are available on the front left, right and center speakers.
LFE LEVEL AND ENHANCED BASS
LFE adjustment allows one to decrease the level of Low Frequency Effect encoding of digital
source materials. This helps in conjunction with the
the user in matching the A/V system. Maximum level is 0.0dB, minimum level is -10.0dB
relative to SPEAKER LEVEL
Normally, with speakers set to LARGE the subwoofer is not active. The ENHANCED BASS
option allows full range operation of the speakers with the additional bass contribution of the
subwoofer. This feature is particularly useful when one wants to experience maximum bass
output. Please note that
when using this setting.
Note: The LFE and ENHANCED BASS options are part of the A/V Preset memories
AUDIO DELAY
When connecting the M15 to a DLP projector, there may be a delay in the picture relative to
the audio. In order to match this delay, the M15 allows up to 140ms of delay via 10ms
increments.
Note: The AUDIO DELAY is not stored in memory, but is reset to 0.0 every time the M15 is
switched to standby.
THX AUTO
Select THX AUTO to ON when the post process decoding is to be THX controlled. When THX
AUTO is set to ON then all Dolby and DTS decoding formats will automatically pass through
the THX decoder.
Note: THX Ultra 2 decoding is dependent on the speaker configuration
