OPERATION
USING THE M17 – MAIN MENU
TONE CONTROLS
The M17 has three Tone Control levels – Treble, Bass and Center Dialog.
Bass and Treble controls only affect the low bass and high treble leaving
the critical midrange frequencies free of coloration. The Center Dialog
("Dialog" in the front panel display) control boosts the "presence" of the
midrange region improving intelligibility of speech.
These controls allow one to tweak on-the-fly, the frequency response
of the source during playback. The control setting could be adjusted
by navigating through the Tone Controls' OSD menu via a combination
of [ENTER] and [A/S/D/F] keys. The same can be managed directly by
pressing the front panel's "Tone" display and then slide "¡" to adjust treble,
bass or dialog level.
Maximum and minimum values for both Tone Control levels are ±10 dB.
"Tone Defeat" gives one the choice of varying or completely bypassing the
tone control section of the M17. If "Off" ("Tone Active" in the front panel
display) is selected, the Tone Control circuits are active.
Select "On" ("Tone Defeat" in the front panel display) to bypass the Tone
Controls effectively defeating the effect of the tone control circuits.
NOTE
Tone Controls options can be directly selected or changed using HTRM
2's [TONE] button with DEVICE SELECTOR set to AMP mode. Toggle
[TONE] button to select "Treble", "Bass" or "Dialog" and then use the
[D/F] to adjust their respective levels. Press [TONE] again to save the
settings and at the same time move on to the next parameter or exit the
parameter setting altogether.
ZONE CONTROLS
Depending on the settings made at the separate "Zone Setup" menu
under the "Setup Menu" section discussion, the applicable Zone can be
configured and managed via this "Zone Controls" window.
12
ZONE 2
POWER
On: Zone 2 is turned on or activated.
Off: Zone 2 is turned off or deactivated.
SOURCE
Enabled Analog Sources: With Zone 2 activated, Source input for Zone
2 can be assigned by selecting through the following input - All enabled
analog Sources and Local.
Local: Select "Local" as your selected Zone 2's Source input if you wish to
enjoy the same source as the main Zone and allow simultaneous listening,
but with full separate volume levels.
VOLUME
"Volume" refers to the adjustable secondary Zone 2 Volume level that
can be increased or decreased using the D/F buttons of the HTRM 2.
This is applicable only if the Zone 2 Volume setting in the separate "Zone
Setup" menu under "Setup Menu" is set to "Variable". If set to "Fixed", this
"Volume" item at the Zone Controls section will not be available.
MUTE
On/Off: Audio is temporarily turned off or restored.
NOTE
The ZR 7 remote control will only control Zone 2 applications. Zone 3
and Zone 4 could be configured and managed at the appropriate Zone
OSD menu using the corresponding keys on the HTRM 2 remote control.
ZONE 3/ZONE 4
Set as Record Output: ZONE 3/ZONE 4 is designated as "Set as Record
Output" if the "Mode" setting is "Record" at the separate "Zone (3/4) Setup"
menu under "Setup Menu".
ZONE 3/ZONE 4 is used as a regular AUDIO 3 OUT/AUDIO 4 OUT port.
Audio present at AUDIO 3 OUT or AUDIO 4 OUT jack is determined by
the current Main Source. There will be no output at AUDIO 3 OUT if
the current Source is analog Source 3. Likewise, there will be no output
at AUDIO 4 OUT if the current Source is analog Source 4. This prevents
feedback through the recording component thereby preventing possible
damage to your speakers.
ZONE 3/ZONE 4: For ZONE 3/ZONE 4 to become available and
configurable at the "Zone Controls" window, their corresponding "Mode"
in the "Zone (3/4) Setup" menu under the "Setup Menu" section should be
set to "Zone". ZONE 2/ZONE 3 can now be configured just like ZONE 2 as
described above.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
•
Only analog audio connected through a Source's analog audio input
port can be associated as audio source for Zone 2, Zone 3 or Zone 4.
•
Digital audio sources connected via HDMI, digital optical and digital
coaxial input ports cannot be down mixed and used as Zone 2, Zone 3
or Zone 4 audio source.
•
BluOS audio is also not applicable as a Zone 2, Zone 3 or Zone 4 audio
source.
