On-screen Message On/Off
When you adjust the volume or select a different input, a confirming text
message appears on the screen of your video monitor. You can deactivate this
function for specific inputs if you wish. The on-screen menu system will still
function even when on-screen messages are deactivated.
To turn on-screen messages on and off:
1. From the Configuration screen for the input you want to adjust,
press or to move the on-screen arrow to OSD MSG.
2. Press or to turn on-screen messages on and off for that input.
Default Surround Mode Selection
You can set a default surround mode for each stereo source. When you switch
to that input from another input, the Model 990 will switch to the default
surround mode for that input.
NOTE: The Model 990 defaults to Dolby Pro Logic II(x) Movie mode
with any source device supplying Dolby Digital 2.0 or PCM sources. If
you wish to set a different default mode for listening to CDs with your
DVD player, you can do using the analog audio outputs of your DVD
player, or an additional digital output if your DVD player is equipped
with one. Simply connect the analog outputs of your DVD player to the
Model 990’s analog CD inputs, or connect the additional digital output
to an unused digital input of the Model 990. You will need to configure
the CD input appropriately, as described in the Input Configuration sec-
tion on page 23.
To select a default surround mode:
1. From the Configuration screen for the input you want to adjust,
press or to move the on-screen arrow to SURR MODE.
2. Press or to scroll through the available surround modes.
The surround mode choices vary depending on what type of signal the
input is currently receiving.
If you are using an analog input, or a digital input receiving a 2-channel
signal, or if the video source is stopped or turned off, the choices appear
as follows as you scroll through them:
STEREOBYPASSUPSAMPLEPLIIx MOVIEPLIIx
MUSICDVS WIDENEO:6 CINENEO:6 MUSIC7CH
STEREO5CH STEREO
Lip Sync Delay
Because video is more data-intensive than audio, processing video takes longer.
As a result, sometimes the video will lag behind the audio, causing a lip sync
error. The problem may vary with each source device. In particular, digital TV
tuners (or the stations they receive) seem to cause lip sync problems more than
do DVD players. The Model 990 lets you delay the audio to fix this problem.
It also lets you set a different lip sync delay for each input, in increments of
one millisecond.
You can also adjust lip sync delay directly from the remote, without using the
on-screen menu. See page 36 for instructions. Lip sync delay is not available
for audio-only inputs.
To set lip sync delay:
1. Play the source for which you want to adjust lip sync delay.
2. From the Configuration screen for the input you want to adjust,
press or to move the on-screen arrow to LIP SYNC DELAY.
3. Press to increase the amount of lip sync delay, or to decrease it.
The audio will mute when you are increasing or decreasing lip sync
delay. Wait a second and the audio will reappear. Watch the actors’ lips
and listen to the dialogue to see if your lip sync setting is correct.
Trigger 2 On/Off
DC TRIGGER OUT 2 is an assignable trigger, activated only when you select
certain inputs. This is used to activate devices that you want to use only at
particular times. For example, you can activate DC TRIGGER 2 for all of your
video inputs, and use it to lower a projection screen and turn on a video projec-
tor. This way, your video system turns on automatically when you select a video
input on the Model 990. You can also use DC TRIGGER 2 to close motorized
drapes or shades, or dim automated lighting.
To configure an input to trigger DC TRIGGER OUT 2:
1. From the Configuration screen for the input you want to adjust,
press or to move the on-screen arrow to TRIGGER 2.
2. Press or to turn Trigger 2 on or off for this input.
You have now finished setup for this input. If you wish to configure more inputs,
press or to move the on-screen arrow to RETURN TO VIDEO INPUTS or
RETURN TO AUDIO INPUTS, then press SET.
