[. . . ] so mo l v ie 5. 1 o Handbook Manuel Handbuch Handleiding Manual safety guidelines CAUTION:To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back). Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. WARNING:To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture. The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated `dangerous voltage' within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. [. . . ] The Centre Width control allows variable adjustment of the centre image so it may be heard only from the centre speaker; only from the left/right speakers as a phantom image; or from all three front speakers to varying degrees. We recommend `Centre Width' is set to 3 for normal use. Dolby Pro Logic Bass Correction This setting should normally be left on minimum. Bass correction may be used if Solo Movie 5. 1 is connected to limited-frequency-range (`Small') speakers, that cannot reproduce very low frequency sounds. Increasing this setting progressively increases very low frequency bass. This control should not be used at high volumes as it may damage your speakers. Stereo Direct Panorama Mode * (This setting can be adjusted only when Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode is selected. ) Extends the front centre image to include the surround speakers for an exciting `wrap-around' effect with side wall imaging. Dimension * (This setting can be adjusted only when Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode is selected. ) `Dimension' allows you to adjust gradually the sound field either towards the front or towards the rear. If a recording is too spacious or strong from the surrounds, it can be adjusted `forward' to get a better balance. Likewise, if a stereo recording is somewhat too `narrow' sounding, it can be adjusted toward the rear to get a more enveloping, immersive result. We recommend `Dimension' is set to 0 for normal use. Set Preset (This menu item is shown only when the selected source is DAB, FM or AM. ) See the section `Setting station presets' on page 25 for more information. Decoding Mode * This cycles through the high quality decoding methods available on Solo Movie 5. 1 The decoding mode is remembered separately for each input source (including separate modes for DVD and CD discs). Dolby Pro Logic II decoding is designed to produce a 5-channel analogue output from two-channel source material. Due to the different recording methods used for movies and music, it is recommended that the correct decoding mode for your source material is used to obtain the best results. Note that Decoding Mode does not apply to headphone output. iPod Option Centre Width * (This setting can be adjusted only when Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode is selected. ) With Dolby Pro Logic II decoding, dominant centre signals come only from the centre speaker. If no centre speaker is present, the decoder splits the L C R (This menu item is shown only when the selected source is AUX. ) so m 1 ov ie The default setting is `Disabled', but if you intend to use Arcam's rDock or rLead accessories to integrate an iPod® with your system, you should set the appropriate option. Connect the rDock or rLead to the rear of the unit (full details are given in the quick start guides supplied with the accessory units) and Solo Movie 5. 1 will test for the presence of a connected iPod. Solo Movie 5. 1 takes over the control and amplification of the source, with iPod text displayed on the front panel of the system unit. 5. 1 lo This adjusts the level of the SUB (subwoofer, or LFE speaker) pre-amp output relative to the other five channels. Sub level does not apply to headphone output. Sleep Timer This timer allows you to specify a listening period, after which Solo Movie 5. 1 will switch automatically into stand-by.
