ABOUT THE ON-SCREEN DISPLAYS (OSD) AND FRONT-PANEL READOUT
NOTE: If you are balancing levels "by ear", choose one speaker—usually the center—as a reference and
adjust each of the others in turn to "sound as loud" as the reference. Be sure that you remain in the primary
listening position while balancing all channels.
Using the remote's [ / ] and [ /
(or subjective loudness). Note that:
• All speakers must be in their final locations before level-setting.
• Your subwoofer (if any) should be set with its integral crossover defeated, or if undefeatable, set to its
highest-possible frequency if you are using the T 762's SUBWOOFER output. Final subwoofer-level
adjustment "by-ear," using music and film sound material, is frequently useful.
• Due to the effects of room acoustics, matched-pair speakers (front; surround; back) will not always
calibrate to exactly the same level offset readings.

SPEAKER DISTANCE

Your system's speaker distance settings are a subtle but important refinement of your setup. Informing the
T 762 of the loudspeaker-to-listener dimensions of each speaker automatically imposes the correct delays,
optimizing imaging, intelligibility, and surround-sound ambience. Enter your dimensions with precision within
about 1 foot (30 cm).

SETTING SPEAKER DISTANCE

SETTING SPEAKER DIST SETTING SPEAKER DIST SETTING SPEAKER DIST SETTING SPEAKER DIST ANCE ANCE ANCE ANCE
From the OSD's main <Setup> menu, select the <Speaker Distance> item using the remote's [ / ] and
[Enter] keys. Using the [ / ] keys, set <Front> and <Center:> to the distance measuring from your
principal listening position to the front surface of the front and center loudspeakers. Using the same remote
keys, set <Surround> to the distance of the nearest surround-channel speaker.
NOTE: Distance can be displayed as feet or meters selectable by the <DISTANCE> item in the Speaker
Distance menu.

ADVANCED OPTIONS

The T 762 allows for setting of special listening and system options. These are usually one-time options
settings and once set do not need to be changed.

Main/Zone DSP Decoding

From the OSD's main <Setup> menu, select the DSP decoding options. There are two options, 5.1 and 7.1
decoding. With 7.1 decoding, the Zone output will be switched off.

Dolby Digital Surround EX Decoding

Select either Auto or On. If On is selected, the Surround EX decoding will be forced on thus Dolby Digital
5.1 will become 6.1 matrix.

DTS-EX Matrix

Select either Auto or On. If On is selected, the EX Matrix will be forced on thus DTS 5.1 will become 6.1
matrix.

CREATING AND USING PRESETS

The T 762's simple but powerfully flexible system of "Presets" allows you to customize virtually every aspect
of your audio-video playback, and recall them with a single key-press. Every parameter of T 762 operation
that is available from the main <Setup> menu — input settings, level settings, delay settings, speaker
settings, and listening mode selection and adjustments — is stored, together, as a single Preset. You might
create one Preset optimized for pop music and another for classical, or Presets that recall each family
member's favorite setup, or one for fully cinematic home-theater playback and another for late-night
movies, with each Preset's surround mode, channel levels, and speaker-setup fine-tuned to a particular
scenario or preference.

CREATING PRESETS

Creating a Preset consists simply of storing a complete set of all settings accessible from the main <Setup>
menu, including Tone Control settings. To save a collection of settings to a Preset, use the HTR 2 remote's
[ / ] keys to scroll to the to main <Save to Preset> item. Use [ / ] to scroll to the desired Preset's line
[1-5]; <Stored> will be flashing. Now press the HTR 2's [Enter] to store the Preset; <Stored> will be stop
flashing, confirming that the Preset has been stored.
NOTE: The selected Preset remains in force until you select a different Preset.
NOTE: It is strongly recommended to leave Preset 1 "empty"; that is, memorized with no changes at all
made to the calibrated values you have entered on all of the <Setup> menu lines. This will make returning
to your calibrated setup defaults easy.

RECALLING PRESETS

RECALLING PRESETS RECALLING PRESETS RECALLING PRESETS RECALLING PRESETS
You may recall a Preset at any time; the newly recalled Preset will replace the previous Preset (if any).
Presets can only be recalled using the HTR 2 remote:
Press the HTR 2's square [A/V Preset] key (red dot), then press the numeric key 1-5 corresponding to the
desired preset.
NOTE: The [A/V Preset] key works as a momentary "shift" key: You must press it every time before invoking
a Preset via a numeric key.
