User manual VINCENT SAV-C2

[. . . ] Dear Customer, we thank you for the confidence you prove in purchasing our product. It will match your high demands towards sound and manufacturing quality. Though it is understandable that you want to plug and play this product instantaneously, we encourage you to read this manual carefully before installation. It will help you in handling and operating this machine in your system and obtaining the best possible performance, even if it was installed by your dealer. [. . . ] The settings described below for the currently selected speaker channel can be changed using the rotating "PARAMETER" knob (1) or the "SET" keys (30). As , , SMALL" speakers all speaker models without nameable bass (frequencies below 80 Hz) play- Back ability are declared, irrespective their size. , , LARGE" speakers are all used speakers that have the ability to playback low bass frequencies. if , for example , no rear surround speakers have been installed , the required setting is , , NONE". This channel is activated or deactivated together with the right and left rear channel. ("CHANNEL" AND "TEST" KEYS) In most cases the viewing/listening position must be chosen in a way that the distances to the different speakers are not equal. Additionally, efficiency of different speaker types varies, so that the experienced volume level at identical signal at the speaker output can be very different. Only the volume of those channels active in the currently selected playback mode can always be changed. For example, the relative volume of the rear centre channel can only be adjusted in the "DIG. Also, it is impossible to adjust all channels deactivated by setting them to "N" using "SPEAKER" (10)(29). Select a preamplifier input, for which an audio playback mode is adjustable, which supports all speaker channels ("CD/AV1", for example, with the digital sound connection selected). Use the "MODE" key (7)(25) to select an audio playback mode, which also supports all speaker channels ("DIG. Activate the Test sound by using the "TEST" key (26) on the remote control, while you are in the position that you mainly want to be in during audio or video playback. A hissing sound is to be heard in sequence on all the connected speakers not deactivated in the "SPEAKER" menu. If the front speakers are able to transmit the complete audio frequency spectrum or if no subwoofer will be installed, choose "L", otherwise choose "S". L (large Center speaker) - S (small Center speaker) - N (no Center speaker) L (large Surround speakers) - S (small Surround speakers) - N (no Surround speaker) Y (Subwoofer used) - N (no Subwoofer used) The lowest frequency your front speakers are able to reproduce and thus the upper limit for the subwoofer signal frequencies. You can choose from 50Hz (very large front speakers), 100Hz, 150Hz and 200Hz (very small front speakers). L: large S: small L: large N: none S: small L: large N: none S: small Adjust the volume so that the test sound can be heard clearly. Check which speaker's volume has to be changed in comparison to the front left channel. You can now remove the difference in volume of the requisite audible channel using the rotating "PARAMETER" knob (1) on the unit or the "SET" keys. The adjustment process can also be carried out without the test sound. Repeatedly pressing the "CHANNEL" key (8)(32) scrolls through the speaker channels. [. . . ] The original analogue signal is sampled at a specific frequency in equal time intervals; this produces a pulsed amplitude modulated signal initially with any desired number of amplitude values. This is now quantised in the AD-converter; to that end the amplitude values are divided into a limited number of quantisation stages (= sampling resolution). If linear quantisation is used in the digitising process (differences in signal values of neighbouring stages are of equal size), which is generally the case, the resulting data stream is called LCPM (Linear Pulse-Code Modulation). However, PCM is not the name for digitised video signals, as in this case multiple component signals, which can be blended to a data stream, are generally used for the representation of a colour picture.
