[. . . ] If you hold down [VOL D/F], the master-volume change will “run-on” until the key is released. Since recordings vary considerably in overall average level, there is no imperative to listen at any particular master-volume setting. A setting of -20 dB may sound “as loud” from one CD or DVD as -10 dB does from another. The T 187 will power-up from Standby mode at whatever master volume setting was last used; however, if the prior setting was greater than –20 dB, the T 187 will power up at –20 dB. This prevents inadvertently beginning a session at excessive volume. MUTING THE SOUND Use the HTR 8’s [MUTE] key to silence all channels completely. Muting is always available regardless of the source or listening mode selections. NOTES • Changing input or listening-mode selections does not release muting. • Adjusting the volume level via the HTR 8 or the front panel volume knob will automatically release the mute function. SPEAKER DISTANCE Your system’s speaker distance settings are a subtle but important refinement of your setup. Informing the T 187 of the loudspeaker-to-listener dimensions of each speaker automatically imposes the correct delays, optimizing imaging, intelligibility and surround-sound ambience. Enter your dimensions with precision within about 1 foot (30 cm). SETTING SPEAKER DISTANCE While at ‘Speaker Distance’ menu, use the [D/F] keys to individually set Front Left, Center, Front Right, Surround Right, Back Right, Back Left, Surround Left and Subwoofer to the distance measuring from your principal listening position to the front surface of their corresponding loudspeakers. Distance can be set up to 30 feet or 9. 1 meters Distance can be displayed as feet or meters selectable at the ‘Unit of Measure’ item. ADJUSTING THE VOLUME 22 OPERATION USING THE T 187 – SETUP MENU ADJUSTING CHANNEL LEVELS ‘ON THE FLY’ VOLUME Zone 2 have Fixed and Variable volume control. When set to ‘Variable’ and while at the ‘Zone Controls’ menu OSD, the Zone 2 Volume level can be adjusted using the HTR 8’s [D/F] or the corresponding front panel navigation buttons or directly via ZR 7’s [VOL d/f]. On the other hand, if Volume is set to ‘Fixed, ’ the Zone 2 Volume is set to a preset dB level and thereafter the Zone’s volume can be varied via the volume control of the separate amplifier it is fed into. MODE Zone 3 and Zone 4 can be configured into two modes - Record Out and Zone (Audio Only). If the selected mode is “Record out”, the audio of the assigned Source is directly sent out to the applicable Audio output (See Item 10 AUDIO 1-6/VIDEO 1-3/S-VIDEO 1-3). When Zone 3 or Zone 4 is set to “Record Out” mode, they will not be available at the “Zone Controls’ section of the Main Menu window. Zone 2 and Zone 3 ‘Volume’ will function the same way as that of Zone 2 when ‘Mode’ is set to ‘Zone (Audio Only). ’ See discussion also on ‘Zone Controls’ at the Main Menu. NOTE The ZR 7 remote control will only control Zone 2 applications. You can make changes to the relative levels of center, surround and subwoofer outputs without having to go into the ‘Speaker Levels’ menu. This is very convenient in circumstances like increasing (or tone down) a film’s dialog level by raising (lowering) the center channel or reducing excessive deep bass (or enhance deep bass) by lowering (raising) the subwoofer level. Use the HTR 8’s ’SURR, ’ ‘CENT’ and ‘SUB’ keys for direct-access level adjustment of these channels over a range of ±6 dB.
