3. Zone 2
With zone 2 it is possible to redirect the sound to other audio systems, e.g. placed in
kitchen or bedrooms. The zone 2 has separate volume control and input selector.
Adjustments for zone 2 are achieved by holding down the same input knob as
currently selected. E.g. when DVD input is selected, hold down the “DVD” knob on
remote or frontpanel, approx. 1 sec.
Then the ZONE2 indicator becomes active.
Possible inputs are: SAT ANLG
TV ANLG
LD ANLG
TAPE1 ANLG
Z1 -> Z2 (Input selected in the main zone is played in zone 2)
Even if an input is defined as digital in the main zone, the analog option is chosen in
zone 2.
The operation returns to the main zone 15 sec. after the last adjustment in zone 2 or
by pushing the ”>VOL” key.
4. Delay
To experience the best surround sound quality, it is important that the sound signal
from all the speakers arrives at the same time at the listening position. If the listening
position is placed closer to the rear surround speakers, the sound from these
speakers will arrive earlier at the listening position. In this case, it is necessary to
delay the sound slightly from the rear speakers.
The important issue here is the difference in distance from the listening position to
the front and rear speakers.
The same problem arises for the center speaker, if it is placed closer to the listening
position than the front speakers.
On some video sources, the video is delayed compared to the audio, due to video
processing. To compensate for video delay it is possible to delay all audio channels
up to 5ms. This common delay is called “Lip sync”.
The delays are set directly from the front panel keys by pushing the “SL”, “SR” or “C”
keys for more than two seconds or double push on the same knobs on the remote
control.
The display corresponds shortly with the message DELAY and afterwards the delay
setting for the selected channel is displayed, e.g. SL 5.0ms. Subsequently the
delay of the extended surround channel SC and “Lip Sync” can be selected by using
the arrow keys.
The delay can then be changed in steps of 1.0ms by turning the volume knob or
pressing the “VOL ⇑” or “VOL ⇓” key on the remote control.
The normal display returns after 15 seconds from last change or by pushing the
“>VOL” key. The setting is expressed in milliseconds, but the delay can be
calculated from the physical distance.
