[. . . ] Setup mode lets you make choices based on extended listening. The idea behind Setup is that you can choose, while listening, · tilt settings for each source · bass settings for each source When you are happy with the settings you have chosen, they can be stored in Setup. You then switch the system back to Normal. The particular advantage of this system is that other users will not inadvertently lose the settings you have chosen. When the system is in Normal mode, the Store key will not store, performing only a recall function. At any time you can · reset factory default settings, using the Reset key · adjust the settings, using the Menu keys · recall your preferred tone settings with the Store key D6000 User Guide Customising using Config 30 Customising using Type Type is a mode used specifically to restore the entire memory (except the calibration memory) of D6000 to one of three factory-preset configurations. For all three Types, Type resets the following: · phase to positive · axis to ­1 · balance to central (L 0) · tilt to 0. 0 · bass to 0. 0 · loudness to normal · speaker to left master Depending on the Type selected, the other options are set as follows. More information is given in Appendix 1, on page 48.

Otherwise, choose the one that is closest to your requirements. Select it, and set up the master/slave and left/right speakers, by means of the following steps: Selecting Types 1. Switch off the D6000, using the power switch on the back, and wait for 3 seconds 2. While pressing the 1 key (2 for Type 2, 5 for Type 5) on the remote control, switch the power on again. # where # is the Type you have selected. Release the # key After a couple of seconds, the display will change to L. This indicates that this speaker will be a left master. Choosing left or right To change the speaker from left to right, or vice versa: 1. Press the menu n or s on the remote control Choosing master or slave To change a master to a slave, or back again: D6000 User Guide Customising using Config 31 1. This display indicates a right slave. Completing Type When you are happy with your left/right and master/slave choices for this speaker: 1. Switch off the D6000, using the power switch on the back 2. After a second, switch the D6000's power on again Note Ensure that you have set the two speakers to opposite settings. One must be left, the other right; similarly one must be the master and the other a slave. Make a note of your choices by marking both speakers on the back, in the area provided on the label.
