[. . . ] You now have your speakers set up in the start Type of your choice. The following sections explain how to modify this setting to fine-tune the system. Note Under normal circumstances, you should not switch on the DSP5000s while any key on the MSR is being pressed. If you do this, you may accidentally select a new Type and change any previous programming. The Types are summarised in Appendix 1. Customising using Config For an overview of Config, see page 30 Config is a fine-tuning customising process carried out only on the master. It will not cause any difficulty if you accidentally go to Config for a slave, since the only options offered there will be left/right and master/slave. In Config you can make choices about the way in which your system responds to source-key selections. The important feature of Config (differentiating it from Type) is that you can use it to change any setting of the DSP5000 without erasing all the other setup choices you may have made. Config has three sorts of menu: · root menu · system menu · source menus DSP5000 User Guide Customising using Config 34 Inside Config you can move between them at will. CD Note In Config, the speaker is silenced. How to use Config 1. Switch off the master DSP5000, using the power switch on the back, and wait for 3 seconds 2. While pressing the 0 key on the remote control, switch the power on again. The display will indicate the root menu that shows the left/right and master/slave settings; for example, r.

Press n or s on the remote control Note If you have started with Type 6 or selected `CEn. Y' elsewhere in Config, then you also have the choices `C' and `S' for Centre and Subwoofer. If you want the speaker to be a Centre in a 565-based system, choose `C'. 1 Choosing master or slave To change a master to a slave, or back again: 1. This display indicates a right slave. System menu To get into the system menu: 1. Press the menu e key Preamplifier options The first digit in the system menu identifies the dominant preamplifier in the system. 1 This choice also permits you to make the DSP5000 the system subwoofer. This choice would normally be made only for diagnosis!DSP5000 User Guide Customising using Config 35 The display looks like this: Cd ?? [. . . ] The process of calibration is carried out during production; it alters the level of tweeter to compensate for the variability found in drive units. It should therefore only be used if a drive unit needs to be replaced. The calibration levels are noted on the back panel. Switch on the power supply to the speaker while pressing the Repeat key on the MSR The calibration display looks like the Test mode display (see Appendix 2): 1L 65 This shows that you are in Calibrate mode and that the volume level is 65.
