This is different from the adjustments made at the Input Level menu, where you are adjusting the electrical balance between the 2. 0 and your amplifiers. Here, the adjustment is a true volume level change. To change the subwoofer trim, make certain that Subwfr Trim is highlighted and use the < and > Menu Control buttons i to adjust the level. When the desired level is established press the ¤ Menu Control button to move to the next line. The Center control allows you to select the Center Channel option for this input. This is an override to the normal settings for the selected mode. Make certain that the Effects Menu is on the screen and that the Center line is highlighted. Use the < and > Menu Control buttons i to select from among the following options: Normal leaves the center setting as it would be for the mode selected. Wide creates a slightly diffused center sound stage by feeding a small amount of the center channel signal into the front left and right speakers. Boost provides a 2dB boost above the calibrated level for the center channel to create the effect of a narrowly focused center soundstage. OFF turns off the center channel speaker position for this input. That creates a very "wide" or phantom center channel soundfield. When the desired center mode is on the screen, press the ¤ Menu Control button i to enter the setting and move to the next adjustment on this menu. Figure OSD-8 The first adjustment is Treble Cut, which rolls off the high-frequency level of the output signal at specific frequencies in accordance with the chart shown in Appendix C. To reduce the amount of high-frequency information, make certain that the Treble Cut line is highlighted, and use the < and > Menu Control buttons i to create the desired level. Note that since this is a subtractive filter, the on-screen indications are shown as negatives, such as -2 dB. When the desired Treble Cut has been selected, press the ¤ Menu Control button to move to the next line. The Bass Boost adjustment enables you to boost the level of low-frequency content in accordance with the chart 30 Signature 2. 0 The Surround option enables you to turn off the surround speakers for this input. Use the < or > Menu Control buttons i to leave the surround speakers on, or to turn them off. To move to the final default adjustment on the Effects Menu, press the ¤ Menu Control button i until Balance > is highlighted. Press the > Menu Control button i to move to the Balance Adjust screen. [. . . ] Regardless of the input, pressing the Stereo mode group button y will combine all available input channels and funnel them into the front left and right speakers only. Smart Stereo is an intelligent agent that looks at the input signal, and creates the stereo sound from Dolby Digital, PCM Digital stereo or analog stereo without any further intervention. 59 Signature 2. 0 The RDS Data System The Signature 2. 0's RDS data system enables you to search for stations with specific program formats when an FM station is transmitting the proper data. The following chart will help you to compare the abbreviations used in the 2. 0's display system to the actual names of each program type, or PTY. Appendix C NOTE: The assignment of a PTY code is done by the individual FM station. The 2. 0 will accurately process the data received, but it is up to the station to make certain that the code properly describes their programming.
