when playing CDs. Not all Digital to Analog Processors can

process the 88.2kHz sampling rate.

15. Some Multichannel DVD-Audio Discs might contain Low

Frequency Audio Signals (below 80Hz) in the Center and/or

Surround Channels. If the loudspeakers in your sound system

that reproduce the Center and/or Surround Channels are not

Screen Mulit-channel Settings. These changes include

Loudspeaker Size, Volume Levels and the distance from

the Loudspeakers to the Listening/Viewing Area. It is im-

portant that the Loudspeaker Setting be performed in the

order listed below as there is interaction between the vari-

ous settings. Refer to figure 24.

Figure 23

Notes: 1. The distance of the Front Left & Right Loudspeakers

from the Listening/Viewing Area is the reference for

measurements.

2. The Subwoofer Channel time delay is fixed.

3. The Volume Levels of the Front Left & Right

Loudspeakers are fixed and become the reference for

the other channels.

speaker can not reproduce bass frequencies down to

35Hz within -3dB of the midrange frequencies it is

considered SMALL.

1. Press the Upꢂdirectional Push-button twice fol-

lowed by pressing the Leftꢁdirectional Push-but-

ton twice. The Center Channel Loudspeaker Icon

will now be highlighted.

Loudspeaker and figure 27 illustrates no Center

Channel Loudspeaker present.

Figure 25

Note: If the no Center Channel is present in the

system, a phantom center channel will be

created using the Front Left and Right

Channels.

4. In a similar manner select the correct choice for the

Left & Right Front Channels, Subwoofer Channel

and Left & Right Surround Channels in the system

by using the four DIRECTIONAL and SELECT

Push-buttons.

Note: If there is no Subwoofer present in the system,

the Low Frequency Information below 100Hz

to one foot. The distance of the Left and Right Front

Loudspeakers from the Listening/Viewing Area be-

come the reference for measurements, as their signals

are not delayed. If the Center and/or Surround Loud-

speakers are closer to the Listening/Viewing Area then

the Left or Right Front Loudspeakers subtract the mea-

surement to produce a difference figure. That differ-

ence figure is what is used to set the amount of Time

Delay added to that channel. The delays can be ad-

justed from 0 to 5.3 ms (in 1.3 ms increments) for the

Center Channel Speaker and 0 to 15.9 ms (in 5.3 ms

increments) for the Left and Right Surround Channel

Speakers.

In the example below, the measured distance between

the Left and Right Front Loudspeakers and the Listen-

ing/Viewing Area is 10 feet. The distance from the

Center Loudspeaker is 8 feet. The difference between

the Front Left and Right Loudspeaker and the Center

Loudspeaker is 2 feet.

Figure 29

Figure 30

Figure 31

Note: A Time Delay Setting of 1.3 ms is approximately 1.5

feet in distance and a settting of 5.3 ms is

approximately 6 feet in distance.

1. Use the Directional Push-buttons to highlight the

Center Channel Time Delay (ms) Icon. Refer to

figure 29.

2. Press the SELECT Push-button and arrowheads

will appear above and below the Icon of the Center

Channel Time Delay (ms) Icon. Refer to figure 30.

3. Measure the distance from the Listening/Viewing

Area to each of the Loudspeakers.

Note: A distance measurement that contains fractions

of a foot, should be rounded up or down to the

nearest whole number.

4. Press the Upꢂor Downꢃdirectional Push-but-

tons until the figure of 2.6 appears in the MS Icon

Window followed by the SELECT Push-button.

Refer to figure 31.

Note: The delay of 2.6 ms was entered because our

example had a measurement difference of two

feet. Enter in the correct delay setting that

corresponds to the actual system measurement.

5. In a similar manner enter in the correct delay set-

ting for the Left & Right Surround Channels in the

system.

Note: There is one setting for both Surround

Loudspeakers. If the distances for each of the

Surround Loudspeaker are different, use the

average of both distances. A table, on page 28, is

provided to record the new Loudspeaker Time

Delay Adjustments.

LOUDSPEAKER VOLUME LEVEL

A properly setup Home Theater Surround Sound Sys-

tem should have all Loudspeaker levels adjusted to the

same starting reference volume level in the Listening/

Viewing Area. The MVP851 includes a built-in test

signal generator, which can have its output switched

into each Loudspeaker automatically. The desired test

signal volume levels of each Loudspeaker can be deter-

mined, in the Listening/Viewing area, either by listen-

ing or with a sound pressure meter. Level adjustments

are made in small steps (1 dB) by using the MVP851

Remote Control Upꢂor Downꢃdirectional Push-

buttons. The level can be adjusted over a plus or minus

6dB range.

Note: The Speaker Level Icons will disappear for any

channel(s) that have been switched off in the

Loudspeaker Size Adjustments.

1. Use the Directional Push-buttons to highlight the

Test Button Icon.

2. Press the SELECT Push-button to start the Loud-

speaker Volume Level Adjustment Process. Refer

to figure 32.

Starting with Left Front Loudspeaker First, the test sig-

nal will start cycling continuously through all the ac-

tive Loudspeakers in 2-second intervals. Refer to fig-

ure 33. During the cycling process the On-Screen Icon

will illuminate for the Loudspeaker that the sound is

emanating from. When it stops on a active Loud-

speaker (with the exception of the Left & Right Front

Loudspeaker which serve as the system refer volume

level) an adjustment in volume level up or down is

possible. If an adjustment is made on a Loudspeaker,

there is an additional 2-second time interval before the

system switches to the next Loudspeaker. As a level is

changed, the On-Screen Icon display instantly indi-

cates the level change. As the test signal switches to

succeeding Loudspeakers, repeat the level adjustment

process until the test signal volume levels of all the

Loudspeakers are the same.

3. When the Test Signal stops on the Center Channel

Loudspeaker use the Upꢂor Downꢃdirectional

Push-buttons to adjust the volume level to the same

volume as the Left Front Loudspeaker that was just

on. Refer to figure 34.

Note: This procedure is best performed from the

Listening/Viewing Area. A sound level pressure

meter will greatly aid in adjusting the

Loudspeaker Levels.

4. In a similar manner adjust the volume levels for the

remaining active Loudspeakers in the system.
