The MXD7000 forms the heart of a highend home cinema and audio system and should be used with high quality power amplifiers such as the Myryad MXA 2150, MXA 3150, MXA5150 and MXA 7150 two, three, five and seven channel power amplifiers. The MXD7000 can decode a wide variety of discrete surround material using a range of 1 decode processes including Dolby Digital , 1 Dolby Digital Surround EX , Dolby Pro 1, 2 Logic IIx DTS , DTS-ES Matrix and 2 2 Discrete , DTS Neo:6 and a proprietary mode "Surround 6. 1" ­ together with the ability to down-mix any source to mono or stereo. It also functions as a high quality stereo preamplifier and any stereo analogue source can be sampled at 48kHz for further digital processing, or at 96kHz for the best sound quality with minimal further processing. [. . . ] DIM This key dims the front panel VF display, which may be preferred in a darkened room. This is a "toggle" function key: press it once to dim the display and press again to switch back to full brightness. SBY+This key sends a standby "toggle" command, duplicating the function of the front panel standby ellipse. It is useful for some earlier Myryad preamps and integrateds which may not respond to the discrete On and Off commands. MU ON and MUOFF These keys provide discrete mute control ­ sending mute on and mute off commands. When the MXD7000 is muted, mute on has no effect and when it is not muted, mute off has no effect. TP ON and TPOFF These keys provide discrete tape monitor control ­ sending tape monitor on and tape monitor off commands. Operation is similar to the discrete mute commands above. ZONEB Hard keys All the ZONEB hard keys have exactly the same function as in AUDIO mode. Operation of Zone B is described in more detail in "Selection and Control of Zone B" section on page 18. ZONEB Soft keys The Zone B soft keys allow direct control of all Zone B functions from the remote, without the necessity of pressing the front panel ZONE button. Note: Zone B must be switched on before the other Zone B commands can be used. When a Zone B command is received the front panel display will show the Zone B status (Zone B source and volume) for about 5 seconds, before reverting to the main zone display. Z ON Z OFF MU ON MUOFF VOL+ VOL- MAIN MENU Main menu Audio setup Speaker setup Source setup Display setup Trigger setup Exit Z ON This key switches Zone B on. If Zone B is already on, it has no effect. Zone B must be switched on before the other Zone B commands can be used. If Zone B is already off, it has no effect. MU ON and MUOFF These keys provide discrete control of zone muting ­ sending zone mute on and mute off commands. When Zone B is muted, mute on has no effect and when it is not muted, mute off has no effect. VOL+ and VOLThese keys adjust the Zone B volume level. They have no effect on main zone volume. The main menu lists the sub-menus that can be selected using the UP and DOWN keys and accessed by pressing the select key. · Audio setup: Dolby Pro Logic II/IIx and DTS Neo:6 (music modes) setup, preset setups, bass/treble tone controls, and LFE level Speaker setup includes speaker levels, distances and sizes (bass management) and also programming of the Aux 9 and Aux 10 outputs Source setup defines source-related parameters and the assignment of the Balanced analogue input Display setup sets video formats and defines how the OSD (On Screen Display) works Trigger setup sets the parameters for the TRIGGER outputs Exit returns to normal operation mode. · USING THE SETUP MENUS ­ VIA THE ON SCREEN DISPLAY OR FRONT PANEL DISPLAY The setup menus are accessed by pressing the MENU key on the remote control. The UP, DOWN, LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys ( , , , ) are used to navigate in the menus. [. . . ] For processing DTS-ES Matrix encoded sources to produce 6. 1 or 7. 1 channel surround sound.
