SETUP MENU

The Setup Menu allows one to customize the operation of the M15 HD to the
ancillary equipment used in one' s specific AV system. Unless your system exactly
matches the factory defaults as shown in the accompanying Quick Start Guide, you
will need to use the setup menu to configure the inputs of the M15 HD.
At Setup Menu, the following are configurable – HDMI Setup, Source Setup,
Speaker Setup, Zone Setup, Trigger Setup, Listening Mode Setup, Display
Setup and A/V Presets.
To access and navigate through Setup Menu and its sub-menu selections,
please refer to and follow the directions stated in the sections 'Display the
OSD' and 'Navigating the OSD and Making Changes. '

HDMI SETUP

The M15 HD supports HDMI Control (CEC) and Audio Return Channel (ARC)
functions. Both functions are possible if external devices that also support
both features are interconnected with the M15 HD via HDMI connection.
HDMI CONTROL (CEC)
Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) is a set of commands that utilizes
HDMI's two- way communication to allow for single remote control of any
CEC-enabled devices connected with HDMI. A CEC command will trigger
the necessary commands over HDMI for an entire system to auto-configure
itself to respond to the command.
When devices that support HDMI Control (CEC) are connected, the
following modes of operation can be executed via the M15 HD or the
external device using any of the device's remote control.
Off: Applies to all CEC options below. At "Off" setting, particular CEC
feature is defeated.
On: At "On" setting, the M15 HD will automatically go to standby mode
if it receives a CEC standby command. On the other hand, if the M15 HD
receives a CEC power up command, the M15 HD will correspondingly
switch ON from standby mode.
USING THE M15 HD – SETUP MENU
Source Switch: At "On" setting, the M15 HD will automatically switch
sources if another CEC device requests a Source change.
For example, if PLAY is pressed on a BD Player with CEC, the M15 HD
and TV with CEC will automatically switch to their respective input
connections – the M15 HD switching to the HDMI input where the
BD Player is connected while the TV will switch to its input where the
M15 HD's HDMI MONITOR OUT is connected. This completes the auto-
configuration – the BD Player is automatically played back using the
M15 HD and TV.
Audio System: At "On" setting, the M15 HD will broadcast a CEC
message indicating it is an active audio system. A CEC compatible TV
will usually mute its audio output when this happens. When this option
is enabled, the M15 HD will also respond to CEC volume and mute
commands. For example, a CEC TV may forward the volume commands
from its remote to the M15 HD.
ARC Mode: Audio Return Channel (ARC) enables an ARC-enabled TV
to send audio data "upstream" to M15 HD.
This option has three choices: Off, Auto or Source Setup.
Auto: When set to Auto, the M15 HD will automatically attempt an
ARC audio connection to the TV whenever the TV announces over
CEC that it has become the active source. If an ARC connection can
be established, the M15 HD will output the ARC audio signal no
matter what source is selected on the M15 HD and will show "HDMI
ARC" on the VFD. The Auto option tends to work best when all your
devices support CEC and the Source Switch option is set to On.
Source Setup: When set to Source Setup, you can select "ARC"
for the digital audio input in the source setup screen. When you
select a source on the M15 HD which is set for ARC, the M15 HD will
attempt to initiate an ARC connection with the TV. When using this
option, you would probably also want to make sure Source Switch
is off otherwise other CEC devices may keep changing the M15 HD
source when you want it to remain on the ARC source.
IMPORTANT NOTES
• "Audio System" must be set to "On" for "ARC mode" to manifest as an
option.
• Audio and video will continuously stream from the HDMI source with
CEC to the TV with CEC even if the M15 HD is at standby mode.
