DMS-AV H HEATER MPLIFIER Video Inputs - Hardware Connections Video Input Connection – HDMI The URC surround processor provides 5 HDMI A/V inputs. While HDMI carries both audio and video, URC allows options to process audio and video separately (please see the menu setup for further options). To connect an HDMI video source to the URC DMS AV, connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI output on the source.
DMS-AV H HEATER MPLIFIER Video Outputs - Hardware Connections Video Output Connection - HDMI The HDMI output connection on the receiver carries high-definition video to your television or monitor. To connect an HDMI video output from the DMS- AV, connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI output on the DMS-AV. Then connect the other end of the cable into the corresponding HDMI input on your television or monitor.
DMS-AV H HEATER MPLIFIER Audio Inputs - Hardware Connections Audio Input Connection – HDMI Although an HDMI connection carries both audio and video, the DMS-AV can process audio and video separately (please see the menu structure for further information). To connect an HDMI audio source to the DMS-AV, connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI output on the source.
DMS-AV H HEATER MPLIFIER Audio Output - Hardware Connections Your DMS-AV receiver has both unbalanced line level RCA surround output (for use with other external amplifiers) and speaker binding posts (for use with the 125 watt internal amplifiers). These will connect directly to a speaker or an amplifier.
DMS-AV H HEATER MPLIFIER Audio Output Connection – Subwoofer(s) The DMS-AV supplies two subwoofer (.2) outputs. Connect the subwoofer output(s) to the input on the subwoofer(s).

DMS-AV H HEATER MPLIFIER Configuration and Control - Hardware Connections Ethernet Communication - Connection Instructions 1. Make sure that all devices are powered Off, including the DMS-AV, PCs, routers, switches, etc. 2. Connect one end of an Ethernet network cable to one of the numbered ports on the back of the router.
DMS-AV H HEATER MPLIFIER Control Output Triggers / Amp Enable The Control Out / Amp Enable outputs are standard 3.5 mm (mono mini) jack connections used for triggering such pieces as amplifiers, screens, relays, etc. The output is a 100 mA 12 VDC signal. The voltage trigger outputs are active when the DMS-AV is selected to a specific input.
DMS-AV H HEATER MPLIFIER Edge Enhancement Edge Enhancement brings out the fine detail in the edges of objects, and is important for SD and HD material. When combined with Noise Reduction and Advanced Scaling, DMS-AV Edge Enhancement can make regular DVDs approach the quality of high definition DVDs.
DMS-AV H HEATER MPLIFIER Video PReP® Progressive Re-Processing (PReP®) is the industry’s first technology designed specifically to improve progressive video signals by removing the artifacts causedby inferior interlaced-to-progressive conversion. Video signals that originate inthe interlaced format used by most broadcasters often suffer degradation whenthe signal is converted to the progressive format required by digital displays.
DMS-AV H HEATER MPLIFIER When the brightness and contrast are adjusted correctly, you should be able to see the 1 IRE and 2 IRE above black bars on the black background and the 1 IRE and 2 IRE below white bars should be visible on the white background. When the brightness is adjusted correctly, black objects should appear ‘black’...
DMS-AV H HEATER MPLIFIER Color 8 Bars 75 In this SMPTE color bar image, the displayed pattern contains eight vertical bars of 75% intensity. Color 8 Bars 100 In this SMPTE color bar image, the displayed pattern contains eight vertical bars of 100% intensity.
DMS-AV H HEATER MPLIFIER On Screen Display (OSD) Format The DMS-AV on-screen Display allows for the complete system setup of the DMS-AV, when using in an application that does not include a URC DMS Multi Zone Audio System. Momentary OSD On-screen display information, such as volume level and input name can be disabled, if desired.
DMS-AV H HEATER MPLIFIER Front Speakers There must be at least 2 front speakers in order to use the DMS-AV. Set the crossover frequency of the front speakers in the on-screen display or the URC Accelerator Application, based on the guidelines described above. Center Speaker It is not necessary to have a center speaker.
DMS-AV H HEATER MPLIFIER Front Height Speakers It is not necessary to have front height speakers. Set the Front Height Option in the on-screen display to Yes or No, or set this in the URC Accelerator, based on the surround channels availability. If set to none, the front height speaker information will be reproduced in the front speakers and although no information is lost, the sense of sounds coming from directly above you may be lost.
DMS-AV H HEATER MPLIFIER Channel Level Channel level calibration will allow the equalization of the volume levels of each speaker to make up for differences in speaker characteristics and distances from the listener to the speakers. Best results will be achieved using a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter, and an external analog tone or pink noise generator.
DMS-AV H HEATER MPLIFIER Height Gain The Height Gain applies to the Front Height speakers. This option is available when the DMS-AV is set to use Front Height speakers. Three options are available for this setting: Low, Mid and High. The default value for this parameter within the DMS-AV is “Mid”.
DMS-AV H HEATER MPLIFIER Surround modes DTS Surround DTS Surround (also called simply DTS) supports up to 5.1 discrete channels and uses less compression for high fidelity reproduction. Use it with DVDs and CDs bearing the DTS logo. DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 This is a 6.1 channel discrete digital audio format adding a surround back channel to the DTS digital surround sound.
DMS-AV H HEATER MPLIFIER Dolby Digital Dolby Digital is the multi-channel digital signal format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Discs bearing the Dolby Digital logo include the recording of up to 5.1 channels of digital signals. This will put you right in the middle of the action, just like being in a movie theater or concert hall.
