Front-Panel Display Time Out
You can set the Model 990’s front-panel display to disappear automatically after
a certain period of time: 15, 30, 45, or 60 seconds. You can also set it to remain
active all the time. Use the ON setting to keep the display active full-time.
To adjust Front-Panel Display Time Out:
1. From the System Configuration menu, press or to move the
on-screen arrow to DISPLAY TIME OUT.
2. Press or to select the desired time out setting.
The choices appear as follows as you scroll through them:
ON15SEC30SEC45SEC60SEC
3. If you want to adjust other system parameters, press or to move
the on-screen arrow to the desired item. Otherwise, press or to
move the on-screen arrow to RETURN TO MAIN MENU, then press
SET. Or simply hit the MENU button to return to your program.
Default Volume Setting
You can adjust the volume setting that appears when you turn on the Model 990.
The volume can come on at either the last setting you were using when you
turned the Model 990 off, or at a default setting of your choosing.
To select last or default volume setting:
1. From the System Configuration menu, press or to move the
on-screen arrow to VOLUME DEFAULT.
2. Press or to select LAST or DEFAULT volume setting.
3. If you want to adjust other system parameters, press or to move
the on-screen arrow to the desired item. Otherwise, press or to
move the on-screen arrow to RETURN TO MAIN MENU, then press
SET. Or simply hit the MENU button to return to your program.
To adjust the default volume setting:
1. From the System Configuration menu, press or to move the
on-screen arrow to DEFAULT VOL SET.
2. Press or to adjust the default volume setting.
You can set the volume as high as +8 dB or as low as –76 dB. The level
should be high enough so you know the system is on, but not so high
that it will hurt your ears. For most systems, a default volume setting
of –30 dB is a good place to start.
3. If you want to adjust other system parameters, press or to move
the on-screen arrow to the desired item. Otherwise, press or to
move the on-screen arrow to RETURN TO MAIN MENU, then press
SET. Or simply hit the MENU button to return to your program.
Tone Controls
The Model 990 offers traditional bass and treble controls, each with a range of +/-6
decibels. The tone controls are not effective when the Model 990 is set to Bypass
mode. They can also be bypassed using the TONE button on the front panel.
To adjust bass or treble:
1. From the System Configuration menu, press or to move the
on-screen arrow to BASS or TREBLE.
2. Press or to adjust the level of bass or treble.
3. If you want to adjust other system parameters, press or to move
the on-screen arrow to the desired item. Otherwise, press or to
move the on-screen arrow to RETURN TO MAIN MENU, then press
SET. Or simply hit the MENU button to return to your program.
Sleep Timer
The Model 990’s sleep timer automatically shuts the unit off after a predeter-
mined amount of time, from 10 to 90 minutes. The sleep time can also activated
directly from the SLEEP button on the remote control, using the Model 990’s
front-panel display.
To activate the sleep timer from the on-screen display:
1. From the System Configuration menu, press or to move the
on-screen arrow to SLEEP.
2. Press or to adjust the setting of the sleep timer.
The choices appear as follows as you scroll through them:
OFF90min60min45min30min20min
15min10min
3. If you want to adjust other system parameters, press or to move
the on-screen arrow to the desired item. Otherwise, press or to
move the on-screen arrow to RETURN TO MAIN MENU, then press
SET. Or simply hit the MENU button to return to your program.
Theater Compensation
Most movie soundtracks are not remixed for the home environment when a
DVD release is prepared. They are instead mixed for a commercial cinema,
which is a more acoustically absorptive environment than most homes. Thus,
many movie soundtracks may sound bright or shrill over a home theater sys-
tem. Activating the Model 990’s Theater Compensation mode compensates for
this effect, filtering out some of the high frequencies to make the sound more
pleasant and less fatiguing.
To activate Theater Compensation:
1. From the System Configuration menu, press or to move the
on-screen arrow to THEATER COMP.
2. Press or to turn Theater Compensation on and off.
3. If you want to adjust other system parameters, press or to move
the on-screen arrow to the desired item. Otherwise, press or to
move the on-screen arrow to RETURN TO MAIN MENU, then press
SET. Or simply hit the MENU button to return to your program.
System Lock
After you have configured your Model 990, you may wish to prevent others from
making further adjustments—or to prevent yourself from accidentally changing
your settings. The System Lock feature lets you deactivate all of the Model 990’s
on-screen menus and adjustments (except, of course, the one that turns System
Lock off again). You will still be able to see the Main Menu and all of its submenus,
but the only option you can choose is RETURN TO MAIN MENU.
To turn System Lock on and off:
1. From the System Configuration menu, press or to move the
on-screen arrow to SYSTEM LOCK.
2. Press or to turn System Lock on and off.
3. If you want to adjust other system parameters, press or to move
the on-screen arrow to the desired item. (Of course, you will not be
able to adjust these if System Lock is turned on.) Otherwise, press
or to move the on-screen arrow to RETURN TO MAIN MENU,
then press SET. Or simply hit the MENU button to return to your
program.
