  • Page 7: Features

    Your new processor is a versatile audio/video control center. The processor is designed to sound sensational and be an attractive, easy-to-use addition to your audio/video system. Although you already have a good idea of your processor’s features, we would like to take a moment to point out certain highlights. Matrix Decoding - incorporates further processing to allow for the precise decoding of Dolby Digital Surround EX and DTS-ES soundtracks via matrix decoding.
  • Page 8: The Basics

    THE BASICS The following is intended to familiarize users with common terms and applications of Home Theater equipment. Sources - your processor can directly provide audio from its built-in AM/FM tuner. It can also provide limited video from its on-screen menu system. Typically you will want to connect a number of additional sources (VCR, DVD player, etc.) to your processor.
  • Page 9 seven speaker channels, but your processor can produce mono in one to seven channels (see “Audio Modes under Operation”). Since all modern sources are stereo, the mono information is usually replicated from both the left and right channels. Stereo - Stereo contains two discrete, front left and right full range audio channels. This is the most common format for music and is also used on many movies.
  • Page 10 you can create your own DTS DATs or CDs but not mini disc or digital compact cassette. As with Dolby Digital, sound will normally come from all seven speakers in your system, but your processor can produce sound in one (mono) to seven channels (see “Audio Modes under Operation”). DVD Audio (also referred to as MLP) - Meridian Lossless Packing (MLP) is a lossless coding system for high-quality linear PCM audio.
  • Page 11 Bass Management - Dolby Digital and DTS formats contain up to 5 full range channels plus LFE. Only a system with five full-range (large) speakers plus a subwoofer can directly reproduce these formats. However, almost all commercially available center channel speakers are small and incapable of reproducing the lowest bass frequencies without distortion or even damage to the speaker.
  • Page 12: Front Panel

    1. Headphone Jack - Stereo headphones having a standard ¼ inch binaural plug can be connected to the headphone output. The processor must be on and in HEADPHONE Mode for proper headphone operation. 2. Front panel buttons S L E E P P u ts the receiv e r in stan dby (low po wer) m od e.

Indicators have been supplied to show when the DSP is decoding Dolby Digital ‘ Digital’, Dolby Pro Logic ‘ Pro Logic’, or DTS audio. There is an indicator to show the input to the S/PDIF digital receiver is 96kHz 24 bit data ‘96/24’ or an analog input that is being sampled using 96kHz/24bits.
  • Page 14: Rear Panel

    The processor’s back panel is organized into groups of inputs and outputs for audio and video as shown below. See back of this manual for an enlarged view. 1. AC fuse holder - Holds the AC Line fuse. Replace only with same type and value. 2.
  • Page 15 15. Coax Digital inputs - Coax digital inputs are used to connect digital audio signals from your source to the receiver. The incoming signal may be PCM, Dolby Digital (AC-3) or DTS. (Optional) DVD Audio inputs – Optional connections for a DVD audio or other 5.1 source device. Center (TV-V3) (SAT) ( V2)
  • Page 16: Making The Connection

    MAKING THE CONNECTION It’s tempting to just plug in your new A/V processor and have great sound pour out. Before you do that, take a few minutes to plan out how you want the processor to fit into your audio/video system. Ask yourself the following questions: What source components do I want to connect to my processor? (CD, VCR, etc.) What equipment will be receiving the audio and video? (TV monitor, Speakers, etc.)
  • Page 17: Audio / Video Connections

    AUDIO / VIDEO CONNECTIONS Connecting your analog sources to your processor Audio / Video source - connecting a DVD/VLD player to the processor’s analog inputs. Use the same instructions for connecting to other audio / video sources such as a television, satellite receiver, cable box, etc. See Connecting Video for use with other than composite and S-video (Omit the video connections for an audio- only component such as a CD player) Attach one end of the audio interconnect cable to the left audio...
  • Page 18 DVD Audio using the Coax digital inputs (optional) – your processor allows for an option to connect a 5.1 DVD Audio or other 5.1 surround format device, to the processor’s DVD Audio input when NO coax digital inputs are to be used. This option calls for the setting of a push button switch internal to the unit. Please contact B&K customer service for further details if this option is desired.
  • Page 19: Digital Connections

    DIGITAL CONNECTIONS Connect digital inputs (DVD, VLD, etc.) to the processor. You will need either coaxial or optical digital inputs to play Dolby Digital (AC-3) or DTS surround sound processing. Digital connections are also recommended for PCM sources. If your source has both optical and coaxial outputs connect only one.
  • Page 20: Surround Outputs

    SURROUND OUTPUTS Your processor has multiple surround processor outputs for use with external amplifier(s) or powered speakers. The Reference 20 Plus processor allows further processing of the surround channels for the precise decoding of Dolby Digital Surround EX and DTS-ES soundtracks via matrix decoding.

  • Page 22: Antenna Connections

    ANTENNA CONNECTIONS The FM jack is a standard screw on F-type connector. The AM is a push type. Strip ¼ inch of insulation off your AM antenna wires and insert one wire end into each hole while holding the tabs down. Release the tabs to lock in the AM antenna wires.
  • Page 23: Frequently Asked Questions

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS My collection of equipment differs from the labels on the back of my processor, how can I hook them up? Your processor provides 5 identical sets of inputs - V1, V2, DVD, CD, and SAT. Each of these has analog audio, composite video, S-video, coaxial digital audio, and optical digital audio.
  • Page 24 My laser disc player (or other digital source) has only optical output, but my CD recorder (or other digital recorder) has only coaxial input. Do I need some sort of converter to make direct digital recordings? No, your processor will convert optical to coaxial and coaxial to optical. The currently selected digital input (optical or coaxial) will appear at both of the processor’s digital outputs (optical and coaxial).
  • Page 25: Setup

    SETUP For best results, perform the following set up procedure when you initially install your processor and anytime you change or add sources, speakers, etc. or when you rearrange your listening area THE MENU SYSTEM Setup of your processor will require you to navigate through the menu system. We recommend that you use a video monitor connected to the Zone 1 (A) output along with the remote control provided with your processor.

  • Page 31: Speaker Levels

    Speaker level calibration allows you to equalize the volume levels of each speaker to make up for differences in speaker characteristics and distances from the listener to the speakers. For best results it is important that you perform this calibration when you initially install your processor, whenever you change speakers, and whenever you rearrange your listening area.
  • Page 32: Crossovers + Lfe

    Crossovers + LFE Usually these settings may be left set to the factory defaults. However, your processor allows ‘fine tuning’ of the system parameters most useful in setting up a high-end audio system. Set the high and low pass filters’ crossover frequency - This sets the frequency at which bass tones are removed from the small main speakers and sent to the subwoofer.
  • Page 33 Set the low pass filters slope - From Remote ­ (PAUSE) or (STOP) (REW) or (FF) Set the peak limiter - The peak limiter is designed to limit the maximum level of bass information. When set to 0.0 dB (default) the limiter is disabled. If your system is being used with a subwoofer not incorporating it’s own limiter or have no subwoofer, then the peak limiter may need to be set to allow proper operation.
  • Page 34 Set your LFE (.1) channel level - Usually this will be set to 0.0 dB (default). However, if you have no subwoofer you may wish to reduce the low frequency effects (LFE) channel to lessen its contribution to the bass going to your remaining large speakers.
  • Page 35 Set subwoofer phase - In addition to the subwoofer location adjustment (see Speaker Location above), your processor has an option to ‘invert the phase’ of the information sent to the subwoofer. This adjustment is sometimes needed to correct ‘lack of low end’ problems created with the interaction between the subwoofer and other large speakers in a listening room.
  • Page 36: Room Equalization

    Room Equalization Usually these settings may be left set to the factory defaults. However, theses settings allow you to correct or reduce the various tonal errors that occur during reproduction of audio in a home theater.

  • Page 43 favorite audio listening mode continued Setting a favorite listening mode here will not prevent the system from automatically adjusting the listening mode in response to bitstream information, nor will it prevent the user form changing modes during normal operation. It is merely the mode that is chosen when that input is initially selected and no additional bitstream information is available.
  • Page 44 From Remote ­ (PAUSE) or (STOP) (REW) or (FF) Set input source level - Allows you to match the levels of your input sources so that there are no large changes in volume as you change from one source to another. This is for your convenience only and need not be performed unless you wish to.
  • Page 45 Set input source name - From the factory, your processor will display source names that match those printed on the rear of the processor and on the supplied remote. However, your processor allows you to change the displayed names to match the actual sources used. If you do not want to change the names then skip this step. Note that the tuner name cannot be changed.

  • Page 52: Audio Modes

    AUDIO MODES Your processor is designed to work with 4 audio listening modes. Under normal operation you may simply select Mono, Stereo, Surround or DVD Audio via the remote control. In addition, you may choose an audio listening mode immediately followed by a speaker selection. The table below shows how your processor will route audio with the various audio modes and speaker selection combinations.
  • Page 53: Mono

    Audio Mode description MONO Sums the incoming audio information to a single channel and routes it to the desired speaker. Useful during FM tuner operation having weak RF signal strengths. It may also be useful when you have a large group where it is difficult to put everyone near the optimum listening position.
  • Page 54 Speaker selection 8 ‘DIRECT’ - allows selection of the ‘analog’ signals connected to the currently selected input sources L & R RCA audio inputs overriding the use of optical or coax S/PDIF. No processing is applied to the audio signals other than level control. Use ‘DIRECT’ when NO audio processing is desired, This may be desirable if you use an outboard digital-to-analog converter or Super Audio CD player.
  • Page 55: Equalization 'Eq

    EQUALIZATION ‘EQ’ Selecting an EQ function via the remote control - allows you to override how the audio is currently being processed. This is where you may set the Dynamic Range to either Normal (default) or Limited for late night listening while using Dolby Digital bit streams.
  • Page 56 Select variable ‘EQ 1’ - to allow separate bass and treble settings for use with all input sources. Many systems allow only adjustment of bass and treble levels at fixed frequency points. Your processor allows you to adjust level and frequency so you may fine tune your tone controls to proved either very subtle effects at just the right frequency extremes, or for more a pronounced effect at higher bass and lower treble frequencies.
  • Page 57: Zone 'Z

    Select loudness ‘EQ 2’ - sets the equalizer to use preset filter curves designed for use when using low listening levels. The human ear’s frequency response varies with volume level. At high levels it has relatively flat response, while at low levels its sensitivity to high and low frequencies is reduced. The loudness equalizer is designed to cancel the ear’s frequency response anomalies to provide consistent tone at all volume levels.
  • Page 58: Presets

    PRESETS Presets allow you to save your favorite settings and recall them instantly. Your processor can store two banks of 40 presets (0..39) in each of 2 Zones. The saved information includes the selected audio source, selected video source, volume, the audio mode and number of speakers, the tuner station and band settings, and all of the temporary settings and overrides described previously.
