OPERATION
USING THE M15 HD – SETUP MENU
GAIN
Gain adjustment allows all sources to play back at the same volume so you
don't need to adjust the volume every time a new source is selected. It is
generally preferable to reduce the level of the loudest source rather than
making louder the softer sources.
Scroll to 'Gain' , press and then
-12dB to 12dB.
DIGITAL AUDIO
To take advantage of the M15 HD's high performance surround and digital
audio circuitry, it is advisable that its Digital Audio inputs are selected.
There are three types of Digital Audio input for the M15 HD. These are
HDMI, Optical and Coaxial digital inputs. A fourth option is 'Off' whereby no
incoming digital audio signal is selected by the particular Source.
The desired digital audio input for a particular Source can be selected
by scrolling to 'Digital Audio' , press
desired digital input source. After finalizing the desired type of Digital Audio
input, press and then again to select the specific Digital Audio input.
There are twelve Digital Audio inputs selectable for the M15 HD. They are
the following
HDMI ➜ HDMI 1, HDMI 2, HDMI 3, HDMI 4
Optical ➜ Optical 1, Optical 2, Optical 3, Optical 4
Coaxial ➜ Coaxial 1, Coaxial 2, Coaxial 3, Coaxial 4
NOTE
An incoming digital signal present at the assigned digital input will
always take precedence over the assigned analog audio input, even if
both are present. To maintain the analog audio input for the particular
Source, select 'Off' at the 'Digital Audio' setting of the same 'Source'
menu.

VIDEO FORMAT CONVERSION
The M15 HD is equipped with a Video Format Converter. This allows for a
simplified video connection between the M15 HD and your TV Monitor
when using multiple video formats such as Composite (CVBS), S-Video,
and Component (YUV). This format change is accomplished by encoding
the analog video signal into a digital signal using a very high quality digital
encoder to maintain the best possible picture quality.
Once in digital format, the video input signal could also be available at
the other Monitor output jacks including HDMI MONITOR OUT. Thus, you
do not have to necessarily assign the video output of a composite video
input signal to MONITOR OUT (Composite video). The composite video
input signal can be viewed also at HDMI MONITOR OUT at a resolution
setting dependent upon your TV/Monitor's resolution capability. Some
TV/Monitors will automatically display the video signal at 480p/576p if they
are not capable of displaying 480i/576i.
If your TV/Monitor does not have HDMI input, select the highest quality
video format available on your TV/Monitor and utilize this as M15 HD's
preferred Monitor OUT. In most cases, this will be Component Video, but on
some older TVs, S-Video maybe the best quality connection.
