WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture. The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated `dangerous voltage' within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product. [. . . ] This is the setting for the `Surround' speakers (normally nextto or behind the user). For each speaker, the player can be configured to send either audio with the full frequency range of the source material, or with a reduced frequency range. The reduced frequency range option is used normally when `satellite' speakers are used for the surround channels; these cannot handle low frequency information. Full frequency speakers are commonly called `Large' speakers, with reducedrange speakers given the name `Small'. Low frequency information is re-routed from `small' speakers to `large' speakers, or to the subwoofer (depending on the speaker configuration). Any speaker that is not connected should be identified by selecting `Not Present' for that speaker. 2. DV79 E-16 Although the DV79 is very flexible in the speaker configurations it can handle, some restrictions have been applied. For example, if no subwoofer is present, then it is not possible to configure the Front speakers to be `Small' since there would be nowhere to redirect the low frequency information. Stereo+Sub This setting is relevant to 2-channel source material only (such as CDs). It controls whether the low frequency information is redirected to the subwoofer, or not. This item can be changed only if a subwoofer is specified as present in the system. None Crossover Duplicate No redirection of low-frequency information occurs; all the audio is sent to the Front speakers. Low-frequency information is redirected to the subwoofer, with the remaining (higher-frequency) information sent to the Front speakers. In addition, the low-frequency information is duplicated to the subwoofer. No sound from the centre/rear speakers?Ensure that the following are correct: n A multi-channel source is being played; n The `Audio' item is set n The connection between the DV79 and your audio device is made correctly ­ if using multichannel analogue output, check that the cables have not been swapped. Crossover Frequency This setting defines the frequency at which bass redirection begins. Frequencies below this level are redirected from `small' speakers to the Fronts or to the subwoofer; frequencies above this level are not redirected. The redirection frequency is the same for all the speakers in a system. The optimum crossover frequency depends on the characteristics of your speaker set-up, and is best determined by experimentation. We suggest you start at 100Hz. Delay set-up The delay set-up menu page allows two different type of delay to be configured: those due to speaker positioning and those due to video post-processing. Speaker positioning The relative positioning of speakers within a room (particularly a large room) may mean that sound from some speakers arrives at the listener later than sound from others. By altering the delay settings for the different speakers, this difference in arrival time can be reduced or eliminated. When setting the delay, it should be imagined that the listener is sitting in a circle of the speakers; the delay indicates the distance of the speaker from the listener. Measurement Units Your DV79 allows you to choose the measurement units that you feel most comfortable with: metres or feet. Delays Delays for the front, centre and surround speakers can be set using the associated sliders. A delay may be necessary for a speaker set if those speakers are further away from the listener than the others ­ specifying the different speaker distances will cause a slight delay to be added to the output of the closest speakers so that the sound from all the speakers will arrive at the listener at the same time. Video post-processing (lip-sync. ) Delay (NTSC/PAL) Modern displays and video scalers often employ digital video processing that can introduce a significant video delay. The `Delay' menu items allow correction of this effect by delaying the audio soundtrack up to 150 milliseconds. The amount of correction required in a given system is best determined by experimentation. If the interlaced video outputs of the DV79 are in use and the display is converting the signal to progressive scan then we recommend a delay of 50­80ms, depending upon the display. If the progressive video output of the DV79 is in use, the player corrects automatically for its own processing delays and it is unlikely that additional delay will be necessary.
