Make certain that your television or other video display
device is turned on, and that it is adjusted so that the 2.0
is the current video input. Check that all sources,
amplifiers and speakers are properly connected to the 
2.0, plugged into AC power, turned on or in standby.

Turn the 2.0 on using the front panel 

2

or 

a

on the remote control. The

will go out and the word “Signature” on the front

panel will turn soft blue to act as the

.

If the 2.0 is connected to a Signature Series power
amplifier via the remote trigger cable it, too, will turn on.

When first turned on, the 

)

will

first show a brief turn-on message (Figure FPD-3)

Figure FPD-3

and then revert to the standard information display with
source name and volume setting on the right side 
(Figure FPD-4).

NOTE: The turn on mode (to Standby or complete on)
when pressing 

1

depends on the "Power

Up State" selected in the "Advanced Settings" menu,

The first three lines tell the system if the speakers are
capable of extended low-frequency reproduction, using
the following guidelines:

Small:

Select this setting if the speakers used 

are not capable of reproducing low-frequency
information below 100Hz.

Large:

Select this setting if the speakers are

traditional, full-range loudspeakers.

NOTE: The words “Large” or “Small” do not refer to
the size of the speakers, but their ability to handle
low-frequency information. In general, full-range
speakers are larger in size than frequency-limited
satellite speakers since they often include large
woofers.

in accordance with the definition above. When 

Small

is

selected, all signals assigned to the front left/right speakers
that are below 100Hz will be sent to the subwoofer
output. When 

Large

is selected, the front left/right

speakers will receive a full-range signal.

NOTE:  If 

Small

is selected a subwoofer should be

used, otherwise the bass output in your system will be

When 

Small

is selected, all sounds below 100Hz

assigned to the center channel will be sent to the front
left/right output or to the subwoofer, if the fronts are set

Small

. When 

Large

is selected, the center speakers

will receive a full-range signal. 

None

should be selected if

no center channel speaker is installed.

Once the center channel setting has been made, press 

¤

i

so that 

Surrounds

is highlighted.

Again, make a choice as to large or small, using 

‹

or

to make your selection. When

Small

is selected, all sounds below 100Hz assigned to

the left and right surround channels will be sent to the
front left/right output or to the subwoofer, if the fronts
are set 

Small

. When 

Large

is selected, the surround

speakers will receive a full-range signal. Select 

None

,

when no surround speakers are installed.

After selecting the Surround speaker type, press

¤

i

so that 

Subwoofer

is

highlighted. Use 

‹

or

Anyone with sensitive hearing may wish to leave the
room before proceeding.

The 

Speaker Level Adj

menu appears (Figure

OSD-3), and it will list all of the speaker positions that
have been entered on the Speaker Setup Menu. A test
noise will be heard from the front left speaker as soon 
as the menu is on the screen. That will serve as your 
initial reference level for the remaining speakers. If it is
too low or too loud, use 

r 9

to set

your reference level. If a sound pressure level meter is
being used, the recommended reference level is 75dB,
using the “C Weighting/Slow” settings. For the most
accurate settings, the meter should be placed at the
preferred listening position.

locations have been set, and then quickly cycle through
the list one more time to make certain that no additional
adjustments are required.

NOTE: If the sound is being heard from a speaker other
than the one shown on the screen there is a
misconnection in the system. In that event, press 

j

three times to exit the menu system and then turn the

unit off by pressing 

1

on the front panel

until the

goes dark. Once the 2.0 and all

amplifiers have been turned completely off (NOT placed
in a standby mode) check all connections from the 2.0 to
the power amplifier and from the amplifier to the
speakers to find the incorrect connection. Once the
problem is found and corrected, turn the units on again
and resume the setup.

When all speaker locations have been set so that the
sound is equal, press 

j

to return to the

Speaker Setup Menu

.

To complete the speaker setup, press 

¤

i

until 

Speaker Distances   >

At the 

Speaker Dist Adj

menu (Figure OSD-4)

you will enter the information that will permit the 2.0 to
automatically calculate the proper delay time for each
analog and digital surround mode. It is important,
however, that you have the distance from the preferred
listening position to the front left/right, center and
surround speakers measured and available before
proceeding to the next step.

Figure OSD-4

The first line on the menu allows you to change from 
the factory preset of measurement in feet to meters. Make
certain that the

The 2.0 gives users the option to assemble any of the
audio and video sources it is connected to into easy to
understand input source profiles that allow you to “mix
and match” combinations and then identify them with a
name that makes sense. For example, the tuner may be
permanently “attached” to the output of a satellite
receiver to allow video for sports events to be combined
with the play-by-play audio from a local radio station, or
a DVD player with multiple digital audio outputs may
appear as separate input sources.

The key to this flexibility is found on the 

Source

Menu

. Following the instructions below, you may

combine inputs, establish preferred modes, set input levels
and vary effects settings. To start, press the 

button

j

until the main 

Setup Menu

(Figure OSD-1)

appears, and then press 

¤

i

once until

Sources    >

is highlighted. Press 

›

i

to reach the 

Source Menu

.

While proceeding through each of the menu items and
configuration options, it is a good idea to record the
choices made in the Sources worksheet in Appendix B. 
A written record of your system’s configuration will make
it easier to establish your favorites should the memory be
reset due to software changes or service.

At the 

Source Menu

(Figure OSD-5), the first line

labeled 

Source

corresponds to the button on the 

2.0 remote control that will be used to recall the source
profile that is being established. You may continue to
program the profile that is shown, or press 

›

i

to change to another remote button to be set.

When the correct profile is shown inside the highlighted
area, press 

¤

i

to move to the next

line.

Figure OSD-5

The 

Name

line is where you can rename the input profile

so that the on-screen and front-panel display description
shows your preferred description. For example, you may
wish to rename “TV” to “Satellite,” “Video 1” to “VCR 1,”
“Video 2” to “DVD,” and so on.

To change the input name, first make certain that the

Name

line is highlighted. Next, press 

›

i

, a series of underscore lines (

РРРÐ

) will appear to

the right of the factory preset name and the first letter will
change from white to a greenish color. Use 

⁄

and

¤

i

to change the alphanumeric character.

Tap the remote buttons lightly to move through the upper
case letters, lower case letters, numbers and symbols one
at a time, or press and hold 

⁄

or

¤

to

scroll rapidly through the available characters.

After you have changed the first letter, press 

›

to move to the next space. The letter

being changed will turn from white to a light green as
your indication of which space is being changed.
Continue to use 

⁄

and

¤

to change each

character, and then press 

›

to move to the

next space to the right. If you have made an error and
wish to correct a previous spot on the line, use 

‹

as a “backspace” key.

When you have completed the entry, even if it does 
not fill the entire 11-character space permitted, 
press 

j

to enter the setting to the 2.0’s memory.
