HDMI: the unit is forced to use the HDMI audio input
for this source.
Digital: the unit is forced to use the optical (
TOSLINK
or coaxial (
) digital audio input for this source
S/PDIF
Analogue: the unit is forced to use the analogue
audio input for this source.
CD Direct – Turns off the compressed audio detection mute
delay and should only be used for sources that will only
transmit PCM audio (e.g. a CD player).
General Setup
General information and system controls.
Source Input – (Information only) The currently selected
input to which the settings below relate.
Incoming Format – (Information only) The format of the
digital audio stream connected to this input, if present.
Incoming Sample Rate – (Information only) The sample rate
of the digital audio stream connected to this input, if present.
Incoming Bit Rate – (Information only) The bit rate of the
digital audio stream connected to this input, if present.
Dialnorm – (Information only) If a Dolby Digital audio stream
is connected to this input, this is the Dialogue Normalisation
setting requested by the stream.
Incoming Resolution – (Information only) Shows the
incoming video resolution.
Audio Compression – Allows selection of compression
which is ideal for late night listening. The compression effect
increases the volume of the quiet passages and decreases the
volume of the louder passages. Compression only applies to
Dolby/DTS soundtrack formats that support this function.
Off: (default) no audio compression is applied.
Medium: compression is applied so that loud
portions of a soundtrack are reduced in level. Dolby
True HD stream is compressed automatically as set by
the incoming stream.
High: the maximum amount of dynamic range
compression is applied, so that the difference between
loud and quiet portions of a soundtrack is minimised.
This setting applies to all inputs when a relevant digital audio
stream is detected. It is stored in memory and recalled each
time the unit is powered up.
Balance – To alter the sound balance temporarily between
front left and right speakers. You can alter the sound stage
to either the left or the right by up to 6dB. Note that it is
)
not possible to shift the audio signal completely over to
one channel. This function resets to equal left/right balance
when the input is changed.
DTS Dialogue Control – Sets the level of the dialogue
channel in compatible DTS audio streams.
Maximum Volume – Limits the maximum volume setting
the system can be turned up to in the main zone. This is
a useful feature to prevent accidental overdriving of low
power-handling speakers (for example). It is stored in
memory and recalled each time the unit is powered up.
Max On Volume – Limits the maximum volume the system
operates in the main zone when it is switched on or comes
out of Standby. The system comes on at this stored volume
setting if the last used (possibly very loud) volume exceeds
this value. It is stored in memory and recalled each time the
unit is powered up.
Display on time – Sets the time that the front panel display
remains illuminated after receiving a command. The default
is always on.
Control – Enables or disables RS232 or IP (NET) control, a
system that allows control from various third-party home
automation systems. Note, only RS232 or IP control can be
used, not both.
Power on – Determines how the unit powers on.
Stby: in Standby mode
On: On
Last state: Last state (default).
Language – Select the language for the setup menu -
English, French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Russian, Chinese.
Speaker Types
Settings for the types of loudspeaker you have connected
in your configuration. These settings are applied to all audio
inputs and are stored in memory and recalled each time the
unit is powered up.

Height Front –
Height Back –
Here you set the type of speakers that you have connected
to your Receiver:
Large: capable of full frequency range reproduction
Small: not capable of full frequency range
reproduction at the low frequency end
None: speaker not present in your configuration
NOTE: It is not possible to set all speakers to
Small unless there is a subwoofer in your speaker
configuration. If you do not have a subwoofer, you
will be forced to set your front speakers to Large.
Subwoofer – configures if the dedicated sub out terminals
are used for a single subwoofer channel (using the two
parallel outputs).
Channel 13 & 14 –
Channel 15 & 16 –
Configures the speaker positions that channels 13, 14, 15 & 16
are used for.
Height Type – configures the type of height speakers -
ceiling mounted or Dolby enabled.
Use Channels 6+7 for – If your main zone speaker set up
does not include Surround Back Left and Right speakers, you
can choose to use the Surround Back amplifier channels as
the Height 1 amplifiers, to Bi-Amp the Front Left and Right
pair, or as a stereo power amplifier for Zone 2.
Filter Slope – Configures the filter slope used for bass
managment - 12dB, 24dB, 36dB, 48dB/octave.
Sub Gain – configures the output level trim for all outputs
configured as subwoofers in -6dB steps from 0dB to -30dB.
Speaker Distances
Calibration settings for the distances between the
loudspeakers and the listening position.
NOTE: Speakers that are not present in your
EN-32
configuration will be greyed out.
If Dirac Live is used, these settings will be shown in time (mS)
and not distance.
These settings are applied to all audio inputs and are stored
in memory and recalled each time the unit is powered up.
Units – Select whether you wish to measure distances in
imperial or metric units.

As described in "Essential Setup" on page EN-28, measure the
distance from each loudspeaker in your system to your ear in
the main listening position and enter the values. This allows
the Receiver to calculate the correct relative delay for each
loudspeaker.
Speaker Levels
Calibration settings for the test noise signal level through the
loudspeakers and measured at the listening position.
NOTE: Speakers that are not present in your
configuration will be greyed out.
These settings are applied to all audio inputs and are stored
