C4630 SE HOME AUDIO SYSTEM
Setting Up Sources
The SOURCE
SETUP screen allows you to set up the four source inputs.
1. Open the D
EVICE menu and select SOURCE SETUP. The SOURCE SETUP screen
(
Figure 39
) will appear.
2. Use the drop-down box to identify the particular type of component connected
to that set of source connections. If the list doesn’t include a suitable name you
can type one of your own into the box.
3. Use the V
OLUME OFFSET slider to adjust the input level of the source component. This
lets you balance the output levels of the different source components so they will
play at (or very close to) the same volume:
a) Play program material on all of the connected source components. (Use similar
material on all sources so your adjustments will reflect the output levels of the
source components rather than the differences in the program material.)
b) Use a keypad controller or the remote control to switch between the sources until you get a good feel for their
relative volume levels.
c) Adjust the V
OLUME OFFSET
sliders of the four sources as needed to compensate for different output levels.
d) Transfer the new programming to the C4630 SE via the USB connection. (See
Transferring System Information to a
C4630 SE
, on page 25.)
e) After the transfer is complete unplug the USB cable from the C4630 SE and switch between the sources while they’re
playing to test your changes.
f) Repeat steps a) through e) as needed until all of the sources play at approximately the same volume.
NOTE: The Source Volume Offset adjustments are defeated for any zone when it’s Zone Output
Fixed/Variable button is in the F
IXED
position. See page 13.
BBE
®
Sound Enhancement
The C4630 SE incorporates BBE
®
Sound Enhancement. The BBE process improves the presence and
detail of speakers, especially at lower listening volumes, improving the sound quality of your music —
especially distributed audio systems playing background music. BBE is also effective at compensating
for compressed sources, such as MP3 audio files, and for poor-quality source material.
Four rear-panel switches let you turn the BBE enhancement ON and OFF individually for each
of the C4630 SE’s four sources (see
Figure 40
).
• The BBE processing used in the C4630 SE incorporates +3dB of BBE enhancement at low
frequencies and +6dB of BBE enhancement at high-frequencies.
NOTE: The signal at the S
OURCE
O
UTPUT
jacks (see Audio Connections, on
page 11) is not BBE-processed, even if that source’s BBE switch is set to ON.
