  • Page 16: Connections

    2. CONNECTIONS VIDEO CONNECTIONS To configure inputs, see section 3.6 and to configure video outputs see section 3.1. HDMI: Video is sent with audio from source components to the processor. Maximum video resolution is 1080p/60. Connect MAIN HDMI output to a display with HDMI or DVI input – one with High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is required to display copy-protected material.

  • Page 17: Audio

    2. CONNECTIONS continued … 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. Digital represents sound using a sequence of numbers and requires only one cable for all channels. Digital Audio Inputs and Outputs: Digital audio source components can be connected with a coaxial, optical, balanced, or HDMI cable.
  • Page 18 2. CONNECTIONS continued … Analog Audio Outputs: Balanced connection offers the highest transmission quality over long cable lengths, because it rejects noise pickup. In the processor, XLR output voltage is twice that of RCA (6 dB higher). The RCA outputs and the XLR outputs are always active –...

  • Page 23: Setup

    3. SETUP For optimum performance and enjoyment, your processor should be properly set up. This may appear like a lot of work but keep in mind that most settings do not need to be changed from the factory ones. The most important things are entering information about your display and speakers if the defaults do not apply, the distance from each speaker to the listening area, balancing output levels to one another, and input connections.

  • Page 24: Video Output

    On-screen display is available from the following video outputs: MAIN – HDMI, Component (processed) and S-Video ZONE2 – S-Video STATEMENT D2 SETUP 1. VIDEO OUTPUT 2. SET TIME / TIMERS 3. SPEAKER CONFIG 4.
  • Page 25 Video Output Configurations: The Statement D2 allows you to set four video output configurations – only Configuration 1 is needed in most cases. The rest can be used to match the output refresh rate to source material refresh rates, i.e. 1080p/24, 1080p/50, and 1080p/60 if your display accepts these rates, or with a secondary display that needs different settings –...
  • Page 26 For standard-def DVD, set the player’s output to 480i/576i because if output is progressive-scan you will be looking at the player’s deinterlacing, not the Statement D2’s. If the player does not allow 480i/576i HDMI output, using 480i/576i component video output may be best. If the player can be set to put out both 480i (NTSC) and 576i (PAL) according to source material, you can use that setting since the Statement D2 accepts both formats.
  • Page 27 3. SETUP continued … Output Resolution: Input from S-Video, Component, and HDMI is scaled to this resolution for Component and HDMI output. If interlaced to progressive scan conversion is in effect, it is uncompromisingly pixel-adaptive even with 1080i, and the same robust film mode detection applies as with standard-definition interlaced input. Resolution is expressed as follows: number of pixels across the screen frames per second (Hz)
  • Page 28 3. SETUP continued … Letterbox: When the source material’s aspect ratio (the proportion of image width to height) does not match the display’s aspect ratio and you want to preserve the original image’s proportions, the unused areas of the screen will be blank. You can select the shade of these areas from ten levels between light gray and black. If you do not want letterbox (bars on top/bottom) or pillarbox (sidebars) on your screen, see section 4.11.

  • Page 29: Set Time And Timers

    3. SETUP continued … LISTENER POSITION The Listener Position menu lets you enter the distance between each speaker and the listening area. Ideally, speakers should be placed at an equal distance so that their sound arrives at the listening area at the same time, but since this is rarely practical, the processor can delay the sound coming from speakers that are closer to the listener.

  • Page 38: Level Calibration

    3. SETUP continued … LEVEL CALIBRATION Level Calibration uses internal test noises to match the relative level of each speaker at the listening position. Use of noises from home theater setup discs is not recommended – some use incorrect methods. Use of a Sound Pressure Level meter is recommended if not using ARC.

Before setting this, be sure that you have read section 2.1. Note that if S-Video is selected, the input connection is the one specified in S-VIDEO IN.
  • Page 43 Lip-Sync (MAIN only): Video can fall out of synchronization with audio for a variety of reasons. The Statement D2’s video processing causes video to be delayed by 24 milliseconds, which is less than the duration of one frame, thus considered synchronized.

  • Page 44: Mode Presets

    3. SETUP continued … MODE PRESETS When you or another member of your family uses the processor, the mode and THX presets that are set here are recalled, ensuring trouble-free operation. The presets are applied when a source is selected or MAIN power is turned on.

  • Page 45: Analog Input Levels

    3. SETUP continued … ANALOG INPUT LEVELS For sources set to Anlg-DSP or Anlg-Dir in under Source Setup, you can match input levels in MAIN to each other so there are no large changes in volume as you change sources. This is also where recording level is set when using the processor as an analog-to-digital converter (see sections 3.6, 3.9, and 4.3).

  • Page 46: Adc And Audio Output
