[. . . ] The four DELAY TIME choices for each surround mode are: STEP 1 NONE 15 ms NONE STEP 2 NONE 20 ms 5 ms STEP 3 NONE 25 ms 10 ms STEP 4 NONE 30 ms 15 ms MASTER VOLUME Controls 29 A pair of buttons which duplicate the function of the front panel volume control. Press VOLUME DOWN to reduce the volume and press VOLUME UP to increase the volume. The VOLUME UP/DOWN buttons are also used in making certain system configuration settings. SELECTOR Buttons 34 A group of ten buttons which duplicate the function of the LISTENING SOURCE SELECTOR buttons on the RSP-975 front panel. Select any input source by pressing the appropriate button. The labels on the remote buttons match the front panel buttons, except that the button labelled PHONO/LD corresponds to the front panel DVD input button and the button labelled AUX 1 corresponds to the front panel AUX input button. The remote buttons labelled AUX 2 and TAPE 2 are not used with the RSP-975. 5. 1 Button 39 Duplicates the 5. 1 CH button on the front panel. Selects the 5. 1 Channel input, overriding any other sources. MUTE Button (remote only) 31 STEREO: DOLBY PRO LOGIC: DOLBY DIGITAL: Push this button once to reduce the output levels to zero ­ to turn the sound off. Press the MUTE button again to restore the prior volume level. Again, experimentation will show you which settings are best for your source material, room conditions, and system setup. 10 RSP-975 CENTER DELAY Button (remote only) 36 The CENTER DELAY button works like the SURROUND DELAY button above, except that it increases the delay the center channel speaker, if present. CENTER DELAY is only available in Dolby Digital surround mode. The CENTER DELAY button steps sequentially through five available settings (O, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ms). will disappear after all six speakers have been highlighted and you may need to re-enter the menu by pressing and holding the BACK button. While seated in the normal listening location, switch the test tone to the various speakers and listen to hear if any are noticeably louder or quieter than the front speakers. If so, adjust the quieter speakers volume levels up or down to match the louder speakers using the VOL UP/DOWN remote buttons, while the speaker you wish to adjust is highlighted. Continue switching among the speakers and adjusting until all of the speakers are approximately the same volume (or to suit your listening preference). This setting will be memorized when you leave the menu and will become the system-wide default setting. NOTE: The CENTER DELAY setting is system-wide. Changing it will increase or decrease the relative delay time for all inputs in Dolby Digital surround mode. The setting is automatically memorized as it is made. You will get visual confirmation of your delay time setting on the VOLUME DISPLAY as you adjust the setting. The delay time setting also appears in the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY (see below). ENTER/OUTPUT BALANCE (remote only) 42 DYNAMIC Button (remote only) 37 This button is used to reduce the dynamic range to accommodate program material that could tax your system or for low-volume listening. This feature is only available in Dolby Digital surround mode. Press the button repeatedly to step through the four available settings: NONE (full dynamic range), 25% reduction, 50% reduction, and 75% reduction. While making the adjustment, the setting will appear in the VOLUME display. The setting is also shown in the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY (see below). A front-panel LED lights to indicate that the dynamic range has been reduced. The ENTER button on the remote control has a similar function to the BALANCE CHECK calibration described above, except that its adjustments are temporary and apply only to the selected source input. As soon as you select a different source, the settings revert to the system-wide defaults as set during the BALANCE CHECK calibration. NOTE: Although these adjustments can be made directly using the ENTER button, we strongly recommend that you only make these adjustments from the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY system. [. . . ] This configuration may be optimal for many users as it can improve the way the bass integrates into the listening room and ensure correct satellite speaker operation by using the speaker manufacturer's own crossovers. The following speaker options are available: FRONT SPEAKERS (small/large): This menu setting determines what kind of main front left and right speakers you are using. Use the LARGE setting if your main left and right speakers are full range designs with good bass response capability. If you are using minispeakers or if you want the bass from these speakers to go to a subwoofer instead, use the SMALL setting. [. . . ]
