Again, experimentation will show you which settings are best for your source material, room conditions, and system setup. 10 RSP-975 CENTER DELAY Button (remote only) 36 The CENTER DELAY button works like the SURROUND DELAY button above, except that it increases the delay the center channel speaker, if present. The CENTER DELAY button steps sequentially through five available settings (O, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ms). will disappear after all six speakers have been highlighted and you may need to re-enter the menu by pressing and holding the BACK button. While seated in the normal listening location, switch the test tone to the various speakers and listen to hear if any are noticeably louder or quieter than the front speakers. If so, adjust the quieter speakers volume levels up or down to match the louder speakers using the VOL UP/DOWN remote buttons, while the speaker you wish to adjust is highlighted. Continue switching among the speakers and adjusting until all of the speakers are approximately the same volume (or to suit your listening preference). This setting will be memorized when you leave the menu and will become the system-wide default setting. NOTE: The CENTER DELAY setting is system-wide. Changing it will increase or decrease the relative delay time for all inputs in Dolby Digital surround mode. The setting is automatically memorized as it is made. You will get visual confirmation of your delay time setting on the VOLUME DISPLAY as you adjust the setting. The delay time setting also appears in the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY (see below). ENTER/OUTPUT BALANCE (remote only) 42 DYNAMIC Button (remote only) 37 This button is used to reduce the dynamic range to accommodate program material that could tax your system or for low-volume listening. Press the button repeatedly to step through the four available settings: NONE (full dynamic range), 25% reduction, 50% reduction, and 75% reduction. While making the adjustment, the setting will appear in the VOLUME display. A front-panel LED lights to indicate that the dynamic range has been reduced. The ENTER button on the remote control has a similar function to the BALANCE CHECK calibration described above, except that its adjustments are temporary and apply only to the selected source input. As soon as you select a different source, the settings revert to the system-wide defaults as set during the BALANCE CHECK calibration. NOTE: Although these adjustments can be made directly using the ENTER button, we strongly recommend that you only make these adjustments from the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY system. For this reason, the instructions are included in the section on the ONSCREEN DISPLAY (see below). RECALL Button 33 BACK/BALANCE CHECK (remote only) 41 The BACK button on the remote control is used during initial calibration of relative speaker volume levels. Generally, it is only used during initial setup of the system and not during normal operation. To enter the BALANCE CHECK calibration, press and hold the BACK button for 2 seconds. The following screen will appear on your TV monitor, for adjusting the relative volume levels of the front, center, and rear speakers, along with the subwoofer. BALANCE CHK L/F 0dB S/L 0dB CEN 0dB SUB 0dB R/F 0dB S/R 0dB You can temporarily reset the OUTPUT BALANCE settings to 0dB for all speakers at any time by pressing the RECALL button on the remote control. The memorized sytem-wide settings will be activated when you switch to a different LISTENING SOURCE input. ON-SCREEN Button (remote only) 35 Push this button to turn on the ON-SCREEN DISPLAY. If the ONSCREEN DISPLAY is already visible, push this button once or twice to cancel the display. See next section for details. When the menu appears, the L/F speaker label will be flashing and you will hear a test tone coming from that speaker. You can select the other speakers by sequentially pressing the BACK button. The menu 11 DIGITAL SURROUND SOUND PROCESSOR RSP-975 The On-Screen Display The RSP-975 features two ON-SCREEN DISPLAY screens to help operate the system. [. . . ] In this arrangement, the speakers would be classified as LARGE and the subwoofer setting would be OFF for all surround modes. No information will be lost during playback because the system knows to redirect the bass information to the front LARGE speakers. This configuration may be optimal for many users as it can improve the way the bass integrates into the listening room and ensure correct satellite speaker operation by using the speaker manufacturer's own crossovers. The following speaker options are available: FRONT SPEAKERS (small/large): This menu setting determines what kind of main front left and right speakers you are using. [. . . ]
