WHAT'S IN THE BOX

Packed with your M15 HD you will find
• A removable AC cable (if you wish, any IEC-standard AC cable of suitable wattage may be substituted)
• The HTRM remote control with 4 (four) AA batteries
• The ZR 5 zone remote control with 3V CR2025 battery
• This owner's manual
SAVE THE PACKAGING
Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your M15 HD arrived. Should you move or
otherwise need to transport your M15 HD, this is by far the safest container in which to do so. We've
seen too many otherwise perfect components damaged in transit for lack of a proper shipping carton,
so please: Save that box!

CHOOSING A LOCATION

Choose a location that is well ventilated (with at least several inches to both sides and behind), and
that will provide a clear line of sight, within 25 feet/8 meters, between the M15 HD's front panel
and your primary listening/viewing position—this will ensure reliable infrared remote control
communications. The M15 HD generates a modest amount of heat, but nothing that should trouble
adjacent components.
It is perfectly possible to stack the M15 HD on top of other components, but the reverse usually should
be avoided.

QUICK START

Packed with your M15 HD is a Quick Start Guide that will guide you through typical setup
configurations in combination with your ancillary devices. The Quick Start Guide also features the
contents of your M15 HD package as well as start up procedures.
The M15 HD is defaulted to the following settings:
Source Audio Input
Source 1 HDMI 1 / Audio 1 IN
Source 2 Optical 2 IN/ Audio 2 IN
Source 3 Coaxial 3 IN/ Audio 3 IN
iPod Audio 4 IN
Source 5 Optical 1 IN/ Audio 5 IN
Source 6 Coaxial 2 IN/ Audio 6 IN
Source 7 7.1 Input
Source 8 Audio 7 IN
Source 9 HDMI 2
For Video output, select the highest video quality format available on your TV/Monitor and utilize this
for your Monitor OUT connection from the M15 HD to the TV/Monitor. In most cases, this would be
HDMI but for other TV/Monitor without HDMI input, the best connection in order of best video quality
would be Component Video, S-Video and Composite video input.
To modify the above default settings and for a better understanding of source setting and
combinations, please refer to the section on 'Source Setup' of the Setup Menu discussion.
NOTE
Digital input will always take precedence over analog audio input even if both are present.
