Input Options > key assignments on remote | 57 Key Assignment On Remote The AV192R remote has 11 source selection keys, labelled tv, vcr, sat, tuner, aux, cd, ld, dvd, md, dab and tape1, to which you can in this submenu freely assign the associated audio and video inputs. Selecting Key Assignment On Remote brings up a selection list of all source selection key. Select the one you want to edit and a screen, like to next one, come up: Each of these source selection keys can carry two audio inputs, audio1 and audio2, as some sources offer different output formats, e. g. a DVD-Audio player offers a digital SPDIF output, when playing CDs and DVD-Video discs, but offers 5. 1 analog when playing DVD-Audio discs. audio1 and audio2 are the physical audio inputs that will be selected when the corresponding source selection key is pressed. If both audio inputs are assigned the source selection key will toggle between them when pressed. Select Not Assigned for audio2 if you only want to assign a single input to an input selection key. Video is the physical video input that will be selected when the corresponding source selection key is pressed. Select Don't Change if you want the AV192R not to change the currently selected video input, e. g when switching to tuner. 58 | Output / Speaker > loudspeaker definition / calibration The OUTPUT/SPEAKER OPTIONS menu includes everything to do with outputs, be it audio or video. loudspeakers The first menu defines what loudspeaker type you are using at all possible 8 positions; the second part will calibrate them for best performance. Let's start with the Left/Right front loudspeakers. loudspeaker type The AV192R need to know which loudspeakers are present in your system and whether they can reproduce deep bass frequencies. In general, large loudspeakers will be able to handle low frequencies and small ones may not be able to. Select Full Range for speakers which can also handle deep bass, select Bass Limited if they cannot. If no speaker is connected select None. Bass Cutoff The AV192R will re-direct low frequency signals Bass Limited loudspeakers cannot handle to full range / subwoofer loudspeakers. You need to set the Bass Cutoff filter frequency between 40Hz and 150Hz at which this happens according to the bass handling capabilities of your Bass Limited loudspeakers. Refer to your loudspeaker manual for this information - THX certified speakers are Bass Limited, requiring a Bass Cutoff frequency of 80Hz THX. The Bass Cutoff frequency can be set differently for Left/Right, Centre, Surround and Surround Back loudspeakers, allowing you to unwrap the full potential of each loudspeaker. Even if your left / right front loudspeakers are set to Full Range, you should set a Bass Cutoff frequency, as this will define how surround modes, such as Direct+Sub split the frequency band between main speakers and subwoofer. Output/Speaker > loudspeaker definition / calibration | 59 loudspeaker distance The AV192R needs to know the distance of your loudspeakers from your ideal seating position. These measurements are used to correct for the time delays (of the sound reaching your ears) caused by the difference in the distance between each loudspeaker and your listening position. Enter the relevant figures by using the numeric key pad (e. g. press 3 then 0 for 3. 0m) or use the G or H keys. loudspeaker level The loudspeaker calibration level is very important to achieving a correctly centred sound image, it should be carried out carefully. Use the speaker Calibration menu, described on page 62 for your initial set-up. Perform above for all loudspeaker in your system. The following descriptions cover items which are different to the LEFT/RIGHT LOUDSPEAKER screen 60 | Output/Speaker > loudspeaker definition / calibration mode dependent speaker trims The AV192R allows you to modify the volume level for the Centre, surround and Surround back speakers(1), dependent on the surround processing selected. The setting for TMS (Pro Logic) will also be used for TMS + Sub (Pro Logic + Sub) distance between back speakers There can be none, one or two back speakers, being either Full Range or Bass Limited. If two back speakers are used, then the AV192R need to know the space they are apart. This will allow the THX Advanced Speaker Array technology to optimise the algorithm when using THX Ultra2 post processing. You can only use one back speaker output (SURR. [. . . ] If this happens, you should have your AV192R serviced. Ser vice There is a fuse in the power socket on the back of your AV192R. To change the fuse, unplug the power cable and pull out the fuse carrier drawer(1). The fuse carrier contains a spare fuse; this is the first one that you see when you open the carrier. There are no other user-serviceable parts inside the AV192R. [. . . ]
