USING THE T 787 – SETUP MENU

SETUP MENU

The Setup Menu allows one to customize the operation of the T 787 to the ancillary
equipment used in one' s specific AV system. Unless your system exactly matches
the factory defaults as shown in the accompanying Quick Start Guide, you will need
to use the setup menu to configure the inputs of the T 787.
At Setup Menu, the following are configurable – Control/HDMI Setup,
Source Setup, Speaker Setup, Zone Setup, Amplifier Setup, Trigger Setup,
Listening Mode Setup, Display Setup and A/V Presets.
To access and navigate through Setup Menu and its sub-menu selections,
please refer to and follow the directions stated in the sections 'Display the
OSD' and 'Navigating the OSD and Making Changes. '

CONTROL/HDMI SETUP

The T 787 supports HDMI Control (CEC) and Audio Return Channel (ARC)
functions. Both functions are possible if external devices that also support
both features are interconnected to the T 787 via HDMI connection.
ETHERNET/CEC IN STANDBY
On: Enables HDMI Control (CEC) feature.
Off: T 787 stops responding and sending any CEC messages. CEC
feature is effectively defeated.
HDMI CONTROL (CEC)
Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) is a set of commands that utilizes
HDMI's two- way communication to allow for single remote control of any
CEC-enabled devices connected with HDMI. A CEC command will trigger
the necessary commands over HDMI for an entire system to auto-configure
itself to respond to the command.
When devices that support HDMI Control (CEC) are connected, the
following modes of operation can be executed via the T 787 or the external
device using any of the device's remote control.
Off: Applies to all CEC options below. At "Off" setting, particular CEC
feature is defeated.
Power: At "On" setting, the T 787 will automatically go to standby mode
if it receives a CEC standby command. On the other hand, if the T 787
receives a CEC power up command, the T 787 will correspondingly
switch ON from standby mode.

Source Switch: At "On" setting, the T 787 will automatically switch
sources if another CEC device requests a Source change.
For example, if PLAY is pressed on a BD Player with CEC, the T 787
and TV with CEC will automatically switch to their respective input
connections – the T 787 switching to the HDMI input where the BD
Player is connected while the TV will switch to its input where the
T 787's HDMI MONITOR OUT is connected. This completes the auto-
configuration – the BD Player is automatically played back using the
T 787 and TV.
Audio System: At "On" setting, the T 787 will broadcast a CEC message
indicating it is an active audio system. A CEC compatible TV will usually
mute its audio output when this happens. When this option is enabled,
the T 787 will also respond to CEC volume and mute commands. For
example, a CEC TV may forward the volume commands from its remote
to the T 787.
ARC Mode: Audio Return Channel (ARC) enables an ARC-enabled TV
to send audio data "upstream" to T 787.
This option has three choices: Off, Auto or Source Setup.
Auto: When set to Auto, the T 787 will automatically attempt an
ARC audio connection to the TV whenever the TV announces over
CEC that it has become the active source. If an ARC connection can
be established, the T 787 will output the ARC audio signal no matter
what source is selected on the T 787 and will show "HDMI ARC" on
the VFD. The Auto option tends to work best when all your devices
support CEC and the Source Switch option is set to On.
Source Setup: When set to Source Setup, you can select "ARC" for
the digital audio input in the source setup screen. When you select
a source on the T 787 which is set for ARC, the T 787 will attempt
to initiate an ARC connection with the TV. When using this option,
you would probably also want to make sure Source Switch is off
otherwise other CEC devices may keep changing the T 787 source
when you want it to remain on the ARC source.
IMPORTANT NOTES
• "Audio System" must be set to "On" for "ARC mode" to manifest as an
option.
• Audio and video will continuously stream from the HDMI source with
CEC to the TV with CEC even if the T 787 is at standby mode.
