OPERATION
USING THE M17 – SETUP MENU
DOLBY SETUP
Dynamic Range Control: You can select the effective dynamic range
(subjective range from soft to loud) for playback of Dolby Digital
soundtracks. For fully cinematic effect, always select 100%, the default.
Settings of 75%, 50%, and 25% progressively reduce dynamic range,
making soft sounds comparatively louder while limiting the peak loudness
of loud ones.
The 25% setting will yield the least dynamic range and is best for late-
night sessions or other times when you wish to retain maximum dialog
intelligibility while minimizing overall volume levels.
For Dolby TrueHD sources, set the Dynamic Range Control to "Auto".
Center Spread: Center image is spread into the Left and Right speakers.
It is designed to complement musical content or to spread the dialogue
more evenly across a wide screen display.
On: Center Spread function is enabled.
Off: Center Spread function is disabled.
DTS SETUP
Under this menu, the Dynamic Range Control of DTS Digital Surround can
be adjusted as well as the settings for DTS Neo: 6 Music.
Dynamic Range Control: This is the same configurable Dynamic Range
Control feature as described above at Dolby Setup, the only difference
being the soundtrack is now in DTS format.
Center Gain (0 to 0.5): Adjust for better center image in relation to the
surround sound channels.
ENHANCED STEREO
Please refer to the same description of ENHANCED STEREO under
"LISTENING MODES".

FRONT PANEL DISPLAY SETUP
The brightness level of the front panel display can be adjusted. Level "3" is
highest brightness level while "1" is the lowest.
NOTE
The configuration set forth at "Front Panel Display Setup" is carried over
whenever it is enabled during A/V Presets setting. Please see also the
section below about "AV Presets".
A/V PRESETS
The M17's simple but powerfully flexible system of "A/V Presets" allows
you to customize virtually every aspect of your audio-video playback, and
recall them with a single key-press. The parameters "DSP Options" and
"Tone Controls" accessible via the "Main Menu" together with "Listening
Mode Setup", "Speaker Setup" and "Front Panel Display Setup" configurable
through "Setup Menu" are stored together as a single A/V Preset.
You might create one A/V Preset optimized for pop music and another for
classical. One more A/V Preset can be set up to recall each family member's
favorite setting or one for fully cinematic home-theater playback and yet
another one for late-night movies, with each A/V Preset fine-tuned to a
particular scenario or preference.
NAME
The A/V Preset label itself can be assigned a new name. This new Name will
be shown in the front panel display as well as on the OSD.
To rename the A/V Preset label, scroll to "Name" and press [S] to go the first
character. Then, press [D/F] to pick and select through the alphanumeric
selections. Press [A/S] to move to the next character or back to the
previous character and at the same time save the changes done on the
current character.
NOTE
The selected A/V Preset remains in force until you select a different A/V
Preset.
