Adjustments, Menus, And Setup - Parasound Halo C1 Controller Owner's Manual

ADJUSTMENTS, MENUS, AND SETUP

As you've probably gathered from the many earlier references to this chapter, just about every
aspect of the C 1 Controller's operation is customizable to suit your preferences and your home
theater system.
Don't rush your setup; it might take a few hours or more. But this time will be amply rewarded
with years of incredible performance and ease of operation.
If your system has been set up for you by your dealer or installer, you may still wish to read this
chapter in case you want to make further changes yourself.

Navigating the Setup Menus
You can set up the C 1 just the way you want it, with either the front-panel and remote controls
or with a PC and downloadable HaloSetup software (page 36)
To get into Setup mode, press the MENU button on the front panel or on the Master remote.
If the front-panel display screen is on and the C 1 is in status mode or in video preview mode
with "Superimpose" selected, it will show the main menu, with a triangular cursor pointing to
the setup menu that was selected most recently. If your primary viewing screen is also used
for on-screen display (OSD), it will show the same information as the C 1 front-panel display.
(To turn the front-panel display on and change display modes, press the DISPLAY MAIN button
on the front panel of the C 1. To select "Superimpose, " see Display Setup on page 34; for con-
necting an on-screen display, see also page 49.)

rocking the remote's thumbpad up or down, until the
name of the setup you want appears on the second line
of the built-in display or is indicated by the cursor ( ) on
the video screen. (Note: Programming is much easier
with the remote, which lets you scroll backward and for-
ward through the list rather than simply forward.)
