3. Use the and buttons to change the Source you wish
to configure.
The Source choices appear as follows as you scroll through
them:
DVD > VIDE01 > VIDE02 > VIDE03 > VCR >
TUNER (FM) > TUNER (AM) > CD > TAPE > AUX1 > AUX 2

5. Use the and buttons to change the Input for that
source.
The input choices appear as follows as you scroll through them:
ANALOG > OPTICAL1 > OPTICAL2 > OPTICAL3 >
OPTICAL4 > COAXIAL1 > COAXIAL2
You can scroll in either direction using the
If you connected the source to the Analog inputs, select:
ANALOG.
If you connected the source to one of the Optical Digital inputs,
select the appropriate one by choosing: OPTICAL 1, 2, 3, or 4.
If you connected the source to one of the Coaxial Digital inputs,
select the appropriate one by choosing: COAXIAL 1 or 2.
NOTE:Always connect and configure the digital input source
option if available from the specific component, as this will
provide maximum performance and best sound quality.
Remember that you can always return to any menu to change
your selection, should that be required.
6. Press the button once to select MODE.
7. Use the and buttons to change the Mode for that
source.
The available surround modes appear as follows as you scroll
through them:
PLII CINEMA > PLII MUSIC > DOLBY PRO LOGIC >
7 STEREO > 5 STEREO > STEREO > PLII CINEMA+CS
> PLII MUSIC+CS > DTS > DTS NEO:6 CINEMA >
DTS NEO:6 MUSIC > DOLBY DIGITAL >
DOLBY DIGITAL EX > DTS ES
You can scroll in either direction using the
You should choose a surround mode to be the default for this
source. Please refer to the table on page 7 for a detailed listing
of all options. Remember that all available mode options can be
selected for a Digital input source, but certain modes will not be
available through the Analog input for that source.
Selecting the default mode will not exclude other modes of
surround decoding. In fact, certain digital signals (Dolby Digital,
DTS, some Dolby Digital EX, and others) contain a special
digital "flag" that tells the FAP T1 to switch to that surround
mode. When the FAP T1 receives one of these bitstreams it
will switch to that mode of operation. Additionally, you can
manually cycle through the available modes while the source is
playing to choose the one you wish to use.

and buttons.
There are two types of automatic compression control built into the
Dolby Digital process. Compression makes the loud parts softer and
the soft parts louder to reduce the difference between the two.
One type of compression is most useful for situations such as late
night viewing of programs with a wide dynamic range (like many
action movies) that might disturb others in your home. This function
can also be used to provide compression for program material that
may require enhancement of overall intelligibility (such as some
older soundtracks). Another feature provided by this option is the
necessary peak limiting required to avoid signal overload when
"down-mixing" functions are selected.
The second variable provides additional peak limiting to allow
overall average program level to be increased by adding even more
compression to the signal.
These two algorithms can provide sufficient overall gain reduction to
allow even wide dynamic range soundtracks with very soft parts and
very loud parts to maintain good audibility at low volume levels.
In most cases a minimum amount of dynamic range reduction is
automatically included in the bitstream to ensure safe down-mixing.

Each option increases the amount of Dynamic Range compression
to the signal. Depending on your family, neighbors, circumstances,
and the overall volume you wish to achieve, we recommend you
start with DR COMP1 or DR COMP2 as your initial setting. You
will have to experiment with program material and your personal
preferences to determine what is acceptable and best for you.
