Source Configuration

Today’s audio video technology has led to the use of an

increasingly complex number of audio/sources in even

the most basic home theater systems. To make matters

more confusing, the use of a specific output from any

one piece of source equipment may vary depending

on the type of program software being watched or

listened to.

The 2.0 is unique in that it gives users the option to

assemble any of the audio and video sources it is con-

nected to into easy to understand input source profiles

that allow you to “mix and match” combinations and then

identify them with a name that makes sense. For example,

the tuner may be permanently “attached” to the output of

a satellite receiver to allow video for sports events to be

combined with the play-by-play audio from a local radio

station, or a DVD player with multiple digital audio

outputs may appear as separate input sources.

The key to this flexibility is found on the Source

Menu

. Following the instructions below, you may

combine inputs, establish preferred modes, set input

levels and vary effects settings. To start, press the

Menu

button j until the main Setup Menu (Figure

OSD-1) appears, and then press the

¤

Menu Control

button i once until Sources > is highlighted.

Press the ›

Menu Control

button i again to reach

the Source Menu.

While proceeding through each of the menu items and

configuration options explained in the following pages, it

is a good idea to record the choices made in the Sources

worksheet that is found in Appendix B. Making a written

record of your system’s configuration will make it easier

to establish your favorites should the memory be reset

due to software changes or service.

At the Source Menu (Figure OSD-5), the first line

labeled Source corresponds to the button on the

2.0 remote control that will be used to recall the source

profile that is being established. You may continue to

program the profile that is shown, or press the ›

Menu

Control

button i to change to another remote button

to be set. When the correct profile is shown inside the

highlighted area, press the

¤

Menu Control

button

i to move to the next line.

Figure OSD-5

The Name line is where you may rename the input

profile so that the on-screen and front-panel display

description shows your preferred description. For

example, you may wish to rename “TV” to “Satellite,”

“Video 1” to “VCR 1,” “Video 2” to “DVD,” and so on.

To change the input name, first make certain that the

Name

line is highlighted. Next, press the ›

Menu

Control

button i and note that a series of underscore

lines (

) will appear to the right of the factory

preset name and that the first letter will change from

white to a slightly greenish color. Use the

and

¤

Menu Control

buttons i to change the alphanumeric

character. Tap the remote buttons lightly to move

through the upper case letters, lower case letters, num-

bers and symbols one at a time, or press and hold either

the

or

¤

Menu Control

buttons to scroll rapidly

through the available characters.

After you have changed the first letter, press the

Menu Control

button to move to the next space.

The letter being changed will turn from white to a light

green as your indication of which space is being changed.

Continue to use the

and

¤

Menu Control

buttons

to change each character, and then press the ›

Menu

Control

button to move to the next space to the right.

If you have made an error and wish to correct a previous

spot on the line, use the ‹

Menu Control

button as a

“backspace” key.

When you have completed the entry, even if it does

not fill the entire 11-character space permitted, press

the

Menu

button j to enter the setting to the 2.0’s

memory. Press the

¤

Menu Control

button i to

move to the next line.
