[. . . ] This allows you to bi-amplify your front speakers, which should give an improvement in the sound quality of these channels. If you would like to do this, please refer to page 26 for further information. Changing this setting will require you to change the configuration of the cables connected your speakers. AVP700 E-15 English Test Tone Cycle The `Advanced' Set-up Menus ADV 1 ­ Speaker Eq. This allows fine adjustment of bass and treble in 1dB steps (up to ±6dB) for each of the speakers in the system. Use these adjustments sparingly to compensate for speaker response problems caused by positioning, adjacent surface textures, or mixed brands of loudspeakers. Work with one speaker on at a time and, as an example, use the bass control to reduce boom problems for speakers placed in corners, and the treble control for speakers placed near reflective surfaces. We recommend trying to obtain a good speaker response by speaker placement first, then apply speaker equalisation last. The tone control nominal corner frequencies are at 100Hz and 8kHz, shelf type. Auto Stereo Tone Bypass: Set this item to YES if, when a stereo input signal is detected (analogue or digital), the tone adjustments set on this page are to be bypassed. (Note that this does not switch the AVP700 into `Direct' mode, it simply sets the tone controls to zero. ) ADV 2 ­ Video Settings This menu allows advanced adjustment of the video settings for your AVP700. Zone 1 OSD: Selects whether the main zone OSD is on or off. < < When set to ON, all user adjustments that are made during the general use of the AVP700 are displayed on the screen. This includes the adjustment of the volume control, the inputs selected and the set-up menus. When set to OFF, there will be no display of the general user adjustments ­ only the set-up menus and the main menus are displayed. It is recommended you keep the OSD turned ON, since if you cannot see the front panel of the AVP700 you will have no idea if any adjustments you have made to the processor are correct or to your liking. Video Inputs: Composite and S-video inputs for DVD, Sat, AV, VCR and AUX have their audio and video assigned to track each other by default. The five `Video Input' lines for Tape, CD, FM, AM and DVD-A allow assignment of a video source to these normally audio-only sources. If desired, it is possible to allocate the same video source to more than one audio input. This facility allows you to listen to an audio source and view a separate video source at the same time ­ for example, you can listen to radio while watching TV for a sports simulcast. HQ Video DVD, AV and SAT: Allocate the high quality component or RGB video inputs to any source buttons. For example, to assign the Component/RGB video from the `HQ Video DVD' input to the DVD button, set the `HQ Video DVD' item in this menu to `DVD'. If HQ-VIDEO is set to RGB (as described on page 13) and an HQ-video input is assigned to a button, the AVP700 assumes that RGB signals are present for that input if a composite signal is found on the corresponding composite input. If this assignment is made but no RGB signals are supplied, the display will be blank for the assigned source. For HDMI video assignment, please see "ADV 6 ­ HDMI Settings". ADV 3 ­ Digital Settings Coaxial inputs and Optical inputs. Each of the digital inputs can be assigned to any of the seven stereo source buttons (CD, TAPE, DVD, SAT, AV, VCR and AUX), or can be assigned No button. This menu page lists the physical inputs, as per the back panel, on the left hand side of the screen, with the buttons used to select the inputs listed on the right hand side.
