4. CONNECTIONS CONNECTING POWER TO THE STATEMENT D1 Connect the power cord to the back of the Statement D1 and then to a 105 to 130 Volt, 60 Hz AC outlet. AUDIO CONNECTIONS There are two methods of transmitting audio signals: Analog and Digital. Analog is an electrical waveform representation of sound and requires one cable for each channel.
– connect your player’s video output to the DVD input (sections 4.3 and 7.4.5). The 2-Ch BAL and 6-Ch S/E inputs can be set to either bypass all digital stages in the Statement D1 or to include digital stages, so that bass management, time alignment, surround modes, lip-sync delay, bass/treble control, and THX post-processing can be enabled (see sections 5.7, 5.8, 7.4.2, and 7.4.5).
Format translation is not performed – if only S-Video is used from your VCR, the S-Video output of the Statement D1 will be the only one with a signal to send to your TV monitor whenever the VCR Source is selected.

Statement D1’s built-in supply instead for up to three repeaters, and connect according to the repeater manufacturer’s instructions. Note: For installers – The Statement D1’s IR inputs sense modulated 38 kHz carrier, not demodulated data. With some control systems, an emitter face-to-face with an IR repeater may be needed.
ZONE3, RECORD, or HEADPHONE*. This is designed to prevent accidents. Say, for example, someone enters the MAIN room and turns up the volume – if the Statement D1 stayed in ZONE2, then the volume would increase in ZONE2, not MAIN. Since the person adjusting the volume doesn’t hear any change, chances are he or she would just keep turning it up and wonder what’s wrong, until something potentially ‘bad’...
This unique copy feature allows the Source selected in MAIN to also be directed to ZONE2, ZONE3, or RECORD from either analog or digital inputs. If a source component’s audio is connected to the Statement D1 using digital connection only, then the Copy function is the only way to deliver the sound to another Path.
5.4.2 FM • AM TUNER The Statement D1 has a built-in FM • AM tuner, which is common to all Paths. The station that is selected in either MAIN, ZONE2, ZONE3, or RECORD is automatically shared with all other Paths.
SURROUND MODE LEVELS The Statement D1 memorizes the level of one group of channels relative to another separately for each surround mode (section 5.8), and for the 6-Ch S/E input. To make a change for the surround mode that is currently playing and showing on the display, adjust as follows: •...
Dolby Pro Logic must therefore be turned on manually by selecting it in the Mode options. 5.1- and 6.1-Channel Source Material: The Statement D1 detects the digital format that you select in the DVD menu (Dolby Digital or DTS) and automatically engages decoding for the selected format.

• Serial Number: This should match the number on the rear panel sticker and shipping carton – contact Anthem immediately if any of the numbers do not match. When in ZONE2 or ZONE3, information related only to the selected Path is displayed.
ZONE2 while MAIN and all other components remain unaffected. POWERING THE STATEMENT D1 ON AND OFF Two separate keys are used to turn the Statement D1 On/Off, because discrete power commands are required in most custom installations. SSP PATH First set MAIN, ZONE2, or ZONE3 personality in SSP Path.
If you would like to go sleep while listening to a program or music, the Sleep Timer will automatically turn the Statement D1 power off after a preselected time. So when you find yourself falling asleep at the ‘tube’, take the Remote Control and: •...
CONTROLLING OTHER COMPONENTS The Statement D1 Remote Control can be set up to control your TV, DVD player, CD player, VCR, and satellite receiver. The codes for various models are in its memory – these can be entered to duplicate another remote control’s functions.
VOL + instead of VOL in step 7. 6.8.4 LEARN FUNCTION The Statement D1 Remote Control has the ability to learn the command of an individual key from almost any other remote control. When a new command is programmed onto a key, the original command is still available by pressing LEARN before pressing the key.
CONTROLLING THE STATEMENT D1 WITH AFTERMARKET REMOTES Some keys on the Statement D1 Remote, such as VOL + , VOL , and SETUP (SUB/LFE), have press and hold commands as well as regular press and release commands. It may be necessary to program your aftermarket remote to loop or repeat a command to turn it into a ‘press and hold’...
The Setup is where all the user definable operating characteristics, calibrations, and configurations are entered. For optimum performance and enjoyment, it is crucial that your Statement D1 be properly set up. It is strongly recommended that the menus are set up in the order that they appear. For ease of viewing, use of the On-Screen display is recommended whether accessing the Setup by Remote Control or Front Panel.
7.4.1 SET TIME / TIMERS The time and day, plus 6 different timers are set in this menu. The timers in the Statement D1 are similar to an alarm clock, but allow two different timer settings for each of MAIN, ZONE2, and ZONE3.
Page 49
T1 or T2 WEEKEND OFF: Sets the Saturday and Sunday turn-off time. Timers may also be set to only turn on or only turn off (see Example 2) – this way, the Statement D1 can be set to turn on automatically, and it won’t turn off until you turn it off manually when you’re done for the day.
Page 50
7. SETUP MENU continued … Example 1: Select a Source for the ZONE2 Timer: • Enter the Setup (section 7.1). Go to ‘1. SET TIME/TIMERS’ and press SELECT. • Press the button until you reach ‘f. SET ZONE2 TIMERS’. • Press SELECT. The ‘1f. SET ZONE2 TIMERS’ submenu will appear. •...
Here you will also set up the bass management. Entering information about the size of your speakers will enable the Statement D1 to control bass information so it is not lost or distorted by smaller speakers that are unable to reproduce large amounts of bass.

Rooms often have a single prominent resonance peak which can make bass sound boomy, even with the finest subwoofer. The Statement D1 has a proprietary set of low frequency test tones that allow you to find and easily remove that resonance peak.
Page 55
• Use the buttons to change to ‘Yes’. • Press SELECT and ‘a. CURRENT LEVEL’ will change to the new setting. The Statement D1 will not allow bass output to exceed this new setting. • Press BACK to leave the submenu.
Statement D1 can delay the sound coming from speakers that are closer to the listener. This way, sound reaches the listening area at the same time from all speakers, and proper imaging can be achieved.
TEST SEQUENCE to ‘Auto’ using the buttons and then pressing SELECT. Note: If the previously selected Source is Anlg-Dir, the Statement D1 switches to FM • AM, which is always Anlg-DSP, for the duration of the test noise. (‘Anlg-Dir’ bypasses the test noise generator.) We strongly recommend the use of an SPL meter.
Page 58
7. SETUP MENU continued … Procedure for Manual Test Sequence: • Enter the Setup (section 7.1). Go to ‘4. SPEAKER LVL CALIBRATION’ and press SELECT. • Press the buttons to go from speaker to speaker. • As each speaker plays, use the buttons to adjust its loudness relative to other speakers.
You can also pre-select surround modes that take effect for each Source when the Statement D1 is turned on, or a Source is selected. This is particularly useful when you have changed Mode settings for a particular program. When another member of your family uses the Statement D1, presets are recalled, ensuring trouble-free operation.
Page 60
• Anlg-DSP (Analog with Digital Signal Processing): If you want your subwoofer to play from an analog L/R input, use this setting. Analog input is converted to digital through the Statement D1’s high-end A/D converters to enable bass management, time alignment, Mode, Bass/Treble, Lip-Sync Delay, and THX.
Choose between Cinema (menu 2a.) or Music (menu 2b.) configuration – see section 7.4.2. A third and unique choice is also available: Auto-LFE. When selected, the Statement D1 automatically uses the Cinema configuration if there is LFE in the source material, and changes to the Music configuration at all other times.
Page 62
7. SETUP MENU continued … SOURCE SETUP/PRESET EXAMPLES Example 1: Rename AUX to ‘GAME’. • Enter the Setup (section 7.1). Go to ‘5. SOURCE SETUP / PRESETS’ and press SELECT. • Press the button until you reach ‘j. AUX’ and press SELECT. •...
Then, as you switch through each highlighted Source, you will hear that component play. This lets you know that each component is connected to the Statement D1, and it also allows for easy comparative level adjustments of analog sources. Remember, adjusting input levels only functions with Sources set to Analog in menu 5, and the bar graph only works with Analog-DSP setting.
REVERSE SUR/REAR to ‘Yes’ and re-connect the Statement D1 as follows: Surround outputs on the Statement D1 to the Rear inputs on your amplifier, and the Rear Statement D1 outputs to the Surround amplifier inputs. The 6-Ch Surround inputs will now play through your Rear speakers. The Statement D1 flips the SUR/REAR channels back to normal whenever THX is turned on for the 6-Ch input or when any other input is selected, thereby maintaining correct speaker configuration at all times.
This avoids any potential ‘surprises’ of not knowing the volume someone had set when turning the Statement D1 off, and then having the power-on volume be either too loud or quiet. You can set independent volumes for MAIN, ZONE2, ZONE3, and HEADPHONE.
7.4.9 TRIGGERS / IR / RS-232 When a trigger output on the Statement D1 is connected to the trigger input of another component, such as a power amplifier or video projector, the Statement D1 can turn the component on or off according to the trigger’s Setup.
Page 67
This allows you to enable or disable the Statement D1’s Front IR Receiver and Rear IR Inputs. Being able to do so can be useful when an IR repeater, connected to the Statement D1, is located in the same room as the Statement D1.
From here, select the Path adjustments that are shown by the MAIN or ZONE2 On-Screen displays. For example, if ZONE2 is set up with an IR repeater for the Remote Control, and you are using the Statement D1 in the MAIN room, you may not want to be disturbed by information about adjustments made in ZONE2 by someone else.
