[. . . ] This display indicates a right slave. Completing Type When you are happy with your centre/left/right and master/slave choices for this speaker: 1. Switch off the DSP5000C, using the power switch on the back 2. After a second, switch the power on again Note Ensure that you have set multiple speakers appropriately. In a conventional stereo pair one must be left, the other right; similarly one must be the master and the others slaves. Make a note of your choices by marking the speaker on the back, in the area provided on the label. Use a pencil so that you can change the marking in future. 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 DSP5000C 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 28 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 DSP5000C without erasing all the other setup choices you may have made. Config has three sorts of menu: · root menu · system menu DSP5000C User Guide Customising using Config 32 · source menus 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 DSP5000C, 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/centre and master/slave settings; for example, C. Release the 0 key Root menu options The root menu controls the overall operation of the DSP5000Cs, with options for master/slave and left/right/centre/subwoofer. Selecting Config, as above or, at any stage in the Config programming process, 1. Pressing Clear or Off Choosing left, right or centre To change a left speaker into a right or centre, (or vice versa): 1. [. . . ] 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.
