CONNECTIONS

This section describes connections between system components. Conﬁguration of input and output will be discussed later, in section 3.

2.1 VIDEO INPUT AND OUTPUT

With HDMI connection, video and audio are carried together. Connect HDMI output from MRX to a display with HDMI input – one with the appropriate version of Highbandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is required to display copy-protected material.

HDMI input 7 is also an MHL input (Mobile High-deﬁnition Link). Use this input if the source component also supports MHL, for example smaller media players that receive power through this interface.

Insert HDMI cables gently because the connector is more delicate than traditional ones. Damaged cables can damage jacks, and replacement jacks are not covered by warranty therefore replacing HDMI cables is recommended if there is any chance that the existing ones have been used improperly.

Use only certiﬁed High Speed cables and connecting devices. Cables and connecting devices that worked in an older setup do not necessarily work with newer video formats such as Deep Color, UHD, or high frame rates. If you are using adapters or port savers, start troubleshooting by eliminating them since they can affect bandwidth.

2.2 AUDIO CONNECTIONS

AUDIO INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

Digital audio sources can be connected using an HDMI, coaxial or optical cable. These connections carry linear PCM, Dolby Digital, and DTS audio formats. HDMI connection is generally preferred to ensure that lossless audio is used where sources provide it although optical/coax can also be used for sources outputting 2-channel PCM, Dolby Digital 5.1, and DTS 5.1 without affecting audio quality.

Audio on the HDMI outputs is 2-channel PCM as this is meant for the TV’s use.

HDMI AUDIO RETURN CHANNEL

If the TV provides audio through HDMI ARC, for example when it accesses streaming media sources, it can send the audio to the MRX through HDMI output 1, eliminating the need for a separate audio connection. CEC control, described in a later section, must be enabled for Audio Return Channel to function.

If the display reads “Dial Norm Offset -4.0 dB” at the start of a movie, it is indicating that the encoded level is higher than standard by 4.0 dB – the playback level of all channels is then automatically reduced by 4 dB.

PREAMP OUTPUTS

The pre-outs are variable according to the volume control and can be used with external ampliﬁcation.

MRX 720 / 1120

AVM 60

The RCA and XLR outputs have a signal at the same time. XLR connection is suitable for longer cables.

LINE OUTPUT AND ZONE 2 OUTPUT

Line output is a 2-channel version of the selected input with ﬁxed output level. This can be used with a headphone amp which has its own volume control.

Zone 2 has its own volume control and can be used two ways:

- For independent source selection, connect the source using analog input, or optical/

coaxial input as long as the source is 2-channel PCM. This connection can be used in conjunction with HDMI connection for the main zone.

- For similar operation as Line Output but with volume control, set Follow Main to Always

in the setup menu (setup is explained later).

OPTICAL AND COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO

If HDMI audio from a Dolby Digital, DTS, or 2-channel PCM source is problematic or takes too long to switch, use of coax/optical audio connection is recommended (HDMI video can still be used). Older cable and satellite AVM/MRXs often beneﬁt from this.

The optical output provides a passthrough of coax/optical input.

SPEAKER CONNECTIONS (MRX ONLY)

Using speaker wire, connect the positive (+) connection on the speaker to the positive (+) binding post on the appropriate ampliﬁer output, and the negative (–) connection on the speaker to the negative (–) binding post on the same ampliﬁer channel using cable that is insulated to handle the maximum output of the ampliﬁer. Carefully remove insulation using a wire stripper.

Do not connect more than one speaker to each ampliﬁer output. Be sure that power is turned off when connecting or disconnecting anything, and that the speakers are rated for use with this AVM/MRX.

MRX 720

MRX 1120

US models allow banana connectors. If using them, ﬁrst turn the binding post until it is closed to allow the plug to be fully inserted.

2.3 ANTENNA

Connect the FM antenna to the FM ANTENNA connector. Later, when unit is operating move the antenna to ﬁnd best reception.

2.4 LOCAL AREA NETWORK

A network connection is required for conﬁguring Anthem Room Correction, using the Play-Fi App, or using IP control. To use a wired connection, simply connect your router using CAT5 cable.

Wireless connection is explained in the setup section – note that if the AVM/ MRX is mounted in a metal rack, wired network connection is recommended instead especially if the wireless router is in a different room or if anything else can impact signal strength. If using wireless connection, add the two network antennas to the rear panel.

If a ﬁrewall is used for security, ensure that the AVM/MRX is permitted to join the network.

2.5 12 VOLT TRIGGER

2.6 INFRA RED

An external IR receiver allows the remote control to be used from another location in your home – connect the AVM/MRX from an external IR hub to the IR IN jack. Most standard IR repeater kits can be used but to avoid problems test compatibility before installing permanently.

2.7 POWER

If another system component has a trigger input it can be activated by the AVM/MRX. Connect the AVM/MRX’s trigger output using a cable with 3.5mm mini plugs. The AVM/MRX provides ﬂexible trigger options. Through the setup menu, you can specify the conditions for enabling triggers.

Connect the power cord to the AVM/MRX and the power source.

SETUP

For optimum performance and enjoyment, your AVM/MRX should be properly set up. This may appear like a lot of work but most settings do not need to be changed from defaults. The important ones relate to your display and input connections, and distance from listening area to each speaker. Anthem Room Correction will set crossovers and channel levels. The rest is preference and the listening mode presets, for example, should be set after you have played various sources and determined which surround modes you like most.

This shows various speakers in a room to help you with settings in other menus pertaining to speaker type and position.

BACK AMP (MRX Only) and HEIGHT 2 AMP (MRX 1120 Only)

By default, MRX 1120 has ampliﬁcation for 7.1.4 main speakers, and the MRX 720 for

7.1 main speakers. Ampliﬁcation for the back and height channels can be reassigned for

use with the following conﬁgurations:

HEIGHT SPEAKER TYPE AND POSITION

Two or four speakers may be installed in the ceiling or on the wall near the ceiling. In addition a special type of height speaker, referred to as Dolby-enabled, may be placed on top of existing speakers. It works by bouncing height information off the ceiling.

Using the room layout diagrams as a guide, select from the following possibilities to match your height speakers:

FOUR CONFIGURATIONS

One speaker conﬁguration is normally suitable but alternate sets of bass management, listening position, level calibration, and ARC equalization values can be entered and stored. This can be useful if your installation varies according to sound-altering characteristics such as screen up vs down, door open vs closed, or with subwoofer vs without.

Speaker Setup

Proﬁle Name Conﬁg 1 Subwoofer On Center On Surround On Back On Front In-Ceiling On Back In-Ceiling On

PROFILE NAME

Using the navigation keys and volume knob each proﬁle can be renamed, up to 8 characters long. When ﬁnished, press Select but note that the proﬁle name is best set in Anthem Room Correction (Targets panel) because during ﬁle upload the name in the menu is overwritten by the one in ARC.

SUBWOOFER / CENTER / SURROUND etc.

If using Anthem Room Correction, these items will be set during measurement. Set to “On” if you are using these speakers, “Off” if you are not. This is an important step so no sounds go missing because by setting unavailable channels to “Off”, the sound that would have come from those speakers is rerouted to available speakers.

The subwoofer plays two things, LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel in multichannel soundtracks and bass from remaining channels using the crossover. Some people prefer to play music through a system that does not use a subwoofer though it should be noted that the reason often cited is that the subwoofer does not blend well with the main speakers. In contrast, Anthem Room Correction excels in integrating the subwoofer with the main speakers, so in this case using a subwoofer is recommended for all sources. The subwoofer normally plays bass that is louder, deeper, and less distorted than that of a fullrange speaker, and it uses its own ampliﬁer.

3.2 BASS MANAGEMENT

In this menu, information about your speakers is used so that bass does not become distorted. If using Anthem Room Correction, these items will be set during measurement, so you may skip this menu.

If your subwoofer has a crossover, it should be bypassed – set its frequency control to the highest frequency.

The bass manager is a crossover that divides audio in two frequency bands suitable for subwoofer/satellite speaker systems. The result is a lower bass level for satellite speakers, and no midrange/treble going to the subwoofer.

Highlighting Bass Management then pressing Select displays this menu:

Bass Management

Conﬁg 1 Speaker Proﬁle Conﬁg 2 Speaker Proﬁle Conﬁg 3 Speaker Proﬁle Conﬁg 4 Speaker Proﬁle

Four conﬁgurations may be set up. Each contains the following:

Bass Management

Subwoofer LPF for LFE 120 Hz Front Crossover 80 Hz Center Crossover 80 Hz Surround Crossover 80 Hz Back Crossover 80 Hz Front In-Ceiling Crossover 80 Hz Back In-Ceiling Crossover 80 Hz

CROSSOVER FREQUENCY

The range is 40 to 250 Hz in 10 Hz steps except for 200, 225 and 250 Hz, or Off which bypasses the crossover. Note that a crossover does not cut frequencies off like a cliff, but rolls them off according to a slope. If set to 80 Hz, for example, frequencies lower than 80 Hz are still played. Setting the crossover to the lowest number on your speaker’s speciﬁcation page is unlikely to provide the best result.

3.3 LISTENER POSITION

Through these settings, sound coming from all speakers is coordinated to reach the listening area at the same time. This way, proper imaging is achieved. The channel with the greatest distance setting will have no delay while channels with shorter distance settings will be delayed accordingly.

Distances may be set before or after running ARC (ARC does not set distances).

Listener Position

Units feet Conﬁg 1 Conﬁg 2 Conﬁg 3 Conﬁg 4

For measurement units, select feet or metres.

These settings are displayed for each conﬁguration:

Enter the distance between your primary listening area and each speaker. Range is 0-30 ft in 1 ft increments or 0-9 m in 0.3 m increments.

3.4 LEVEL CALIBRATION

Level Calibration uses internally generated test noises to match speaker output levels at the listening position. These noises are also a way of checking system connections between receiver, ampliﬁer, and speaker. Audio calibrations from home theater setup discs are not recommended – some use incorrect methods.

If using Anthem Room Correction, these items will be set during measurement.

A sound pressure level (SPL) meter with C-weighting is recommended if not using ARC, especially to set the subwoofer level. Measure the sound pressure from the listening position while pointing the meter up. Hold it away from your body to prevent reﬂections.

Level Calibration

Conﬁg 1 Conﬁg 2 Conﬁg 3 Conﬁg 4

These settings are displayed for each conﬁguration:

TEST NOISE

To play the test noise, select “On”. Use the up/down buttons to move the noise to the other speakers.

DOLBY OFFSET / CALIBRATION LEVEL

This is the master volume for this menu’s test noises. Changing it changes the output of all channels. The noise comes out of the left front channel.

CHANNEL LEVEL

If you’re calibrating by ear, use the remote control and sit in the listening area. Adjust each channel’s loudness until all levels sound the same. If using an SPL meter, adjust level so it reads 75 dB for each channel. If Noise Level is set while Front-L is at 0 dB, no adjustment of Front-L is needed since the output is the same. If using a powered subwoofer, make a rough adjustment with its input level control before setting sub level in this menu or using ARC. Speakers set to “Off: in the Bass Management menu are skipped.

Note that if ARC sets levels and is then turned off, the subwoofer level should be reduced by the same amount as room gain or the subwoofer level will be elevated when ARC is off.

MULTIPLE SUBWOOFERS

If using multiple subwoofers they should be balanced to one another before calibrating the rest of your system. If using ARC, simply use the Quick Measure function to help ﬁnd ﬂat response as a preliminary step before running full measurement. If setting up the traditional way, play the subwoofer test noise with only one subwoofer connected at a time. Set its input level dial so the SPL meter reads 71 dB from the listening area if using two subs, or 67 dB if using four subs. Repeat this for the remaining subs. When all are connected the result should be around 75 dB – make ﬁnal adjustment in the level calibration menu.

3.5 INPUT SETUP

Inputs and listening mode presets are conﬁgured in this section. From the factory, 5 inputs are set but you may change this to anything from 1 to 30 conﬁgurations.

Input Setup

ZONE 2 INPUT FOLLOWS MAIN

When changed to Yes, any input can go to Zone 2 without separate cabling from the source, but the Zone 2 will always play whichever input is selected in the main zone. Multichannel sources get downmixed to 2-channel so all sounds can go to Zone 2.

These settings are displayed for each conﬁguration:

ANTHEM ROOM CORRECTION

The ARC measurement process, described later, will turn this on. To disable room equalization afterward, change this to “Off”. If measurement info isn’t loaded, “N/A” is displayed.

DOLBY VOLUME (MAIN ONLY)

Select On or Off. Dolby Volume makes content with large differences in volume easier to listen to by analyzing it and intelligently adjusting two things – level and frequency response. It does this continually without causing pumping and breathing artifacts that are common with traditional dynamic range compressors. In doing so, the volume setting is taken into account as is our hearing’s declining sensitivity to the lowest and highest frequencies relative to the midrange as their levels drop. The result is that the perceived frequency response remains constant while making quieter parts of the content more listenable.

DOLBY VOLUME LEVELER

This applies when Dolby Volume is turned on. The leveling amount can be set from 1 to 9, or Off. Play various sources to ﬁnd your preferred setting. When Leveler is “Off” the frequency response adjustment still applies.

LISTENING MODE PRESETS

A listening mode is processing that enhances source material by increasing the number of output channels. Each mode performs this its own way, providing its own type of sound.

To ﬁnd your preference, spend some time listening to various modes using various sources. To disable presets and make selections entirely on the ﬂy, select “Last Used”. To disable listening modes altogether, select “None”.

AnthemLogic-Cinema provides the missing link that lets you experience full impact

home theater sound from any 2-channel source. A large, enveloping and dynamic listening experience is created making 2-channel movies sound more like what is experienced in a state-of-the art movie theater. Through extensive listening tests a very effective design was developed, avoiding the use of echo effects which could negatively affect the purity of the sound.

AnthemLogic-Music enhances the stereo listening experience without detracting from

the stereo soundstage. This is also a minimalist design that uses no echo or reverberation effects. To ensure that the purity of the stereo music soundstage is in no compromised when you’re sitting in the “sweet spot” and listening to your favorite stereo recordings, the center channel is not used.

Dolby Surround upmixes stereo, 5.1, and 7.1-channel content to take full advantage of all speakers in a Dolby Atmos system.

Unlike previous wideband upmixing technologies, Dolby Surround can steer frequency bands individually, producing surround sound with precisely located audio elements and a spacious ambience. Dolby Surround replaces the Dolby Pro Logic II family of upmixers, offering greater ﬂexibility and superior audio performance.

A Center Spread control accessible by pressing the Mode button enables spreading the center image across a wider front soundstage. This is suitable when using a wider than typical screen.

DTS Neural:X uses all speakers in a DTS:X system for an immersive audio experience, creating separation by placing sounds at different points in the sound ﬁeld. This mode does not apply to DTS:X Master Audio, DTS:X, Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, and Dolby Digital Plus sources. When the source is a DTS stream, Direct mode plays the audio channels as they were recorded, whereas Non-Direct mode adapts the audio to your speaker layout if it is different from the content creator’s.

All Channels sends the left and right channels to the surround channels with equal loudness while the center channel and subwoofer receive a combination of both.

LIP-SYNC DELAY

If audio is heard before its corresponding image is seen, you can set up to 300 milliseconds of audio delay – set using synchronization test disc or trial and error. Movies are not always the best test because sounds including dialog are usually re-recorded after the ﬁlming is completed, and can be slightly out of sync at various points in the recording. Adjustment can also be made while viewing material after pressing the Lip-Sync button.

FROM PLAY-FI APP

The DTS Play-Fi app for iOS, Android, and Kindle devices streams music to your system from local and internet sources. It also connects your AVM/MRX to your wireless network as follows:

1. Install the app on your mobile phone or tablet.

2. Launch the app. It will look for Play-Fi devices - make sure your AVM/MRX has been on for at least a minute to allow its wireless functions to be ready.

3. When the app ﬁnds your AVM/MRX it will temporarily disconnect your mobile device from the wireless network while connecting it directly to the unit, and it will ask you to enter your wireless network password. Once you enter it, the app will send it the AVM/MRX so it can connect to your network.

4. Once the AVM/MRX is connected the app re-connects your mobile device to your network and over the next minute searches for more Play-Fi devices. If it says that not Play-Fi devices are on your network, turn your AVM/MRX off and on again, wait a minute, and tap Search Again in the app.

5. Rename the AVM/MRX as you would like it to appear in the app, for example “Main System”.

If the app has trouble ﬁnding the AVM/MRX at all, make sure that it has adequate wireless signal strength by placing it close to the router. As well, make sure your mobile device is near the AVM/MRX when it is searching for devices. If the AVM/MRX still cannot be found, reset the wireless settings as described below and/or temporarily connect a CAT5 cable between the AVM/MRX and the router until Play-Fi setup is completed.

PUSH-BUTTON SETUP

This method can be used if your router has a WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) button. After making the menu selection, press the button on your router. Push-button mode can also be enabled by holding the Wireless button on the rear panel for 5 seconds (tap again to cancel). The LED next to it will change blink style.

MANUAL SETUP

About a minute after making this selection, a list of wireless networks will appear. Select the one that you want the AVM/MRX to connect to and enter your wireless password with the on-screen keyboard.

RESET WIRELESS SETTINGS

Select this to connect the AVM/MRX to a different network or to delete the network connection info and password. The reset is also possible by holding the rear panel button for 10 seconds (tap to cancel).

IP CONFIGURATION

Settings in this submenu should only be changed if your network administrator gives the direction or if using Direct Connect to run ARC.

IP Conﬁguration

Mode Auto (DHCP) IP 192.168.000.001 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.000

MODE

Static IP settings take effect once this is changed to Manual.

TRIGGER CONFIGURATION

When the AVM/MRX’s trigger output is connected to the trigger input of another component, such as an ampliﬁer or projector, the AVM/MRX can turn it on or off according to the trigger’s setup.

Trigger Conﬁguration

Trigger Control Menu Power Main or Zone 2 HDMI 1 Off HDMI 2 Off HDMI 3 Off FM Off Play-Fi Off

In the example shown, the trigger activates while Main or Zone 2 power is turned on. Trigger outputs can also be set to activate according to any combination of inputs instead of Power.

If triggers are to be controlled through IP or RS-232, change “Menu” to “RS-232/IP”.

TCP PORT

Change this only if there is a conﬂict with another application that uses 14999. Available settings are 1025 to 49150.

REAR AND FRONT IR

This allows you to disable each of the AVM/MRX’s infra-red inputs, which can be useful when the AVM/MRX is connected to an IR repeater and is receiving too many signals.

Note that the moment that you disable the front IR input, you will not be able to control the AVM/MRX the traditional way from the remote control – re-enable the IR input using the front panel buttons. If your remote control appears to not be working and you have checked the batteries, check this menu next before contacting technical support.

TX STATUS

When enabled, all commands, status changes, and control information are reported through the Ethernet and RS-232 connections.

3.8 GENERAL CONFIGURATION

This menu contains power saving, control, and tuner options.

General Conﬁguration

Auto Off 20 minutes IP Control On Standby IP Control Off Standby HDMI Bypass Off CEC Control Off CEC Power Off Control Disabled CEC Power On Control Disabled FM Tuner Steps 100 kHz

AUTO OFF

When there is no input signal the AVM/MRX will turn off after the selected time: 5, 10, or 20 minutes, 1, 2, or 6 hours, or Never.

IP CONTROL

With this setting you can enable/disable response to networked Internet Protocol commands.

STANDBY IP CONTROL

tWhen disabled, the AVM/MRX goes into a low-consumption standby mode and does not sense IP commands while in it. To make it respond to a power-on command or to keep DTS Play-Fi connected to the network so it can be used immediately after poweron, enable this setting. This can also be used with RS-232 control to avoid sending a wake-up command.

STANDBY HDMI BYPASS

This option allows use of an HDMI source without turning on the AVM/MRX. Select HDMI 1-7, Front HDMI, or Last Used. The standby LED on the front panel changes to red. Your TV may need setup to allow the sound to come from its speakers – check its manual.

CEC

When Consumer Electronics Control is enabled it allows controlling one HDMIconnected component using another’s remote control, as long as CEC is also enabled in the other components. Note that when component brands are mixed this control system may not be reliable.

CEC Control must also be On for Audio Return Channel, described in an earlier section, to function.

With CEC, turning on one component in the system can turn on the rest of the system, same with turning one component off. You may or may not want this which is why separate options are provided for Power Off and Power On control. When either is disabled, the corresponding power commands sent by other HDMI-connected components are ignored. This is also useful if you would like to use Audio Return Channel but not one-touch power.

TUNER STEPS

Set according to your country’s radio standards – 50, 100, 200 kHz.

After changing CEC settings or loading factory defaults it may be necessary to brieﬂy disconnect and reconnect the HDMI cable between the AVM/MRX and TV or source component for the new settings to be recognized.

3.9 SAVE / LOAD SETTINGS

This is not a menu setting. To reset the unit to factory condition, connect power and press the front panel Select and main power buttons at the same time. The unit should turn on. This may be useful if unit has become inoperable but since it would then require setup from the beginning, try AC reboot ﬁrst:

- Disconnect the power cord

- Press the front panel power button 4-5 times to drain residual power

- Reconnect the power cord

3.10 SYSTEM INFORMATION

System Information

Update Via USB Release Version 1.0.0 Micro Version 1.0.0 DSP Version 1.0.0 OSD Version 1.0.0 ARC Name ARC Upload Time

UPDATE VIA USB AND VERSION NUMBERING:

The operational characteristics of the AVM/MRX are controlled by software installed through the USB port on the front panel. Updates can be downloaded from our web site and installed afterwards.

• On www.anthemAV.com locate the software pertaining to your model and its voltage. Proceed only if your version number is lower, indicating that it is older.

• You will be asked where to save a .zip ﬁle – save it to Desktop.

• When the .zip ﬁle download is complete, extract it to Desktop.

• See Read Me.txt for the change history.

• Copy the .fw ﬁle to your USB ﬂash drive, root directory (not in a folder). Make sure that no other .fw ﬁle is in the root directory.

• Connect the USB ﬂash drive to the front of the unit.

• Select Update Via USB. Alternatively, the front panel Select button can be pressed for 3 seconds to start the process without using the setup menu (the unit must be powered on ﬁrst). Installation takes less than 10 minutes and the front panel display will indicate progress. Do not interfere by pressing buttons or turning power off – the unit will turn on and off by itself a few times. At the end it will remain on with the normal source and volume info on the display.

ARC NAME

This is the name that you gave to your measurement ﬁle.

ARC UPLOAD TIME

This is the date and time that your ARC ﬁle was uploaded.

ANTHEM ROOM CORRECTION

ARC corrects the effects of reﬂective surfaces and room boundaries on sound quality by measuring the response of each speaker relative to the listening area and equalizing it. ARC equalizes response without stressing the ampliﬁer or speakers and does not downsample the source material to process it. ARC’s ﬁlters are neither graphic nor parametric – ARC is a sophisticated system that ﬂattens response using its ability to create practically any suitable function, inherently correcting phase effects created by the room.

The default correction range is 5 kHz. Although it can be lowered if needed, it cannot be raised since the microphone becomes directional at upper frequencies, affecting measurement accuracy.

ARC also detects how much the room reinforces low frequencies due to its boundaries and pressurization. This room gain shows as a bump in the target response. ARC does not remove it because if ﬂattened, bass sounds thin. Ideal anechoic speaker response, a straight line as measured in a special non-reverberant facility, is not the same as ideal in-room response which normally includes, to varying degree, this room gain.

ARC senses where each speaker’s low-frequency response declines and sets high-pass ﬁlters accordingly. Calibration is set such that average level is the same when comparing EQ “On” vs “Off”. Note that to set levels ARC uses a midrange band that’s wider than the standard home theater setup noise, which is centered at 1 kHz and narrow so there’s no chance its level would be reduced by a crossover.

Sample response:

EQ IS ALSO AVAILABLE FOR MY SUBWOOFER(S) – SHOULD I USE IT?

Since rooms and correction systems vary, the answer varies although it is usually best to disable the subwoofer’s EQ before running ARC. If the resulting calculated and target curves resemble each other, there is usually no reason to use the sub’s EQ. If the curves signiﬁcantly differ through a wide range, enable the sub’s EQ and run ARC again to see if it helps. If you have run ARC with the sub’s EQ enabled, ARC must be run again once the sub’s EQ is turned off.

If using multiple Paradigm subs, results are often better with the subwoofer’s correction system having been run on each sub before using ARC.

Note that for the subwoofer, the maximum correction range is shown. What it plays depends on what the other channels send to it, as determined by their crossover settings.

4.1 BEFORE STARTING

• Ensure that the AVM/MRX software and ARC-2 software that you will be using are compatible with one another – check www.anthemAV.com for latest versions.

• Your ARC microphone and its support ﬁle are a system. Before a mic can be used for measurement, its response must be known. Each ARC microphone’s frequency response is measured precisely at the factory and this is used to create your microphone’s calibration ﬁle.

• Your computer must be running Windows 7 or later and be connected to a local network.

• If you are using a laptop computer, check its power settings and battery meter to ensure that procedures will not be interrupted.

• The measurement process rejects typical background noise but if loud noise is present ARC will indicate that re-measurement is required. Ensure that the room will be sufﬁciently quiet during measurement.

• Depending on how your network is set up, you may need to enable sharing to allow the AVM/MRX to be seen by your computer.

• If you are using more than one AVM/MRX on the network, note that each may be identiﬁed three ways – by MAC address, IP address, or Device Name (for more information see the System Information and Network setup menus).

4.2 ARC SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

Instructions will appear on your computer’s screen once the ARC CD is read. If your computer does not allow a CD to auto-run then double-click on the My Computer icon that’s on Desktop, select the drive that the CD is in to view its contents (you may need to right-click on its icon then select Explore), and double-click on setup.exe.

If you downloaded ARC from our web site it needs to be extracted before setup is run.

CUSTOM INSTALLERS: To set up multiple systems using one computer, copy the serialized ﬁles from each ARC CD to this directory after ARC is installed (it only needs to be installed once):

My Computer, Local Disk C:\Program Files\Anthem Room Correction 2

4.3 MICROPHONE STAND ASSEMBLY

Screw the telescoping tube into its base and the microphone clip onto the tube. Position the clip vertically. Connect the USB microphone cable to the microphone and slide the microphone into the clip.

4.4 MICROPHONE POSITIONING

During measurement the microphone must point straight up. The microphone’s height is critical to proper measurement and should be at ear level when seated. Ideally, the front speakers’ high-frequency drivers should be at approximately the same height as the listener’s ears but if they aren’t and the result sounds dull or bright, microphone height will have to be adjusted and measurements repeated.

To adjust the length of the telescoping tube, ﬁrst loosen its clamp by rotating it counterclockwise.

Five listening area positions are normally measured but this number can be increased up to ten. The ﬁrst must be at or just in front of the central seating position. This is also used to set Speaker Calibration levels. Positions 2 and 3 should be symmetric to the left and the right of the center line, and the same applies to the remaining positions. If your room has less than ﬁve seating positions, measurements must still be taken from ﬁve positions at least 2 feet (70 cm) apart to ensure optimal sound.

4.5 MEASUREMENT

• Connect the microphone and the processor to the computer.

• Set the microphone in the ﬁrst position. Don’t stand near the microphone while sweep tones are playing otherwise reﬂections from your body may cause bad measurements.

• Run Anthem Room Correction from the Start Menu or through its Desktop shortcut. The program will guide you through the remaining steps and at the end will load the correction data to your processor. The process takes about 10 minutes depending on the number of measurements.

• Up to 16 characters may be used to name a measurement. Additional characters will be removed.

• Valid characters are: a-z, A-Z, 0-9, “ “, “-”, “.”, “:”, “;”, “<”, “=”, “>”, “?”, and “@”. Other characters will be removed from the ARC upload name.

• Once the ARC program is ﬁnished, you can disconnect the computer. Turn on the processor and set “Anthem Room Correction:” On/Off in the Input Setup menu according to each source.

• Save your settings in the Save / Load Settings menu.

QUICK MEASURE SPEAKER POSITION HELPER

If speaker positioning is ﬂexible, particularly for the sub, you can try using Quick Measure before running ARC. Alternatively you can start with a full measurement and then see whether it’s necessary to re-position speakers. To use Quick Measure, select Manual mode instead of Automatic when starting ARC. Click on the Quick Measure button and enable the sweep tone for the speaker that you are positioning. After a few sweeps the graph will show a live update of the uncorrected measurement. It will keep running until you turn it off. Leave speakers where the graph is ﬂattest, particularly in the bass region, then run ARC normally.

This is also helpful when balancing multiple subwoofers to one another to attain ﬂattest response before running full measurement.

4.6 MANUAL MODE AND TARGETS

When creating a new ﬁle, manual mode is the same as automatic mode except that you must measure, calculate, and upload in separate steps. After the measurement phase, targets can be edited but doing so is recommended only for experienced users.

A ﬁle created in Automatic mode can be opened in Manual mode to allow target editing. After changing targets, you must click OK when closing the window to apply the settings, then Calculate. To restore original settings, click on Auto Detect then Calculate.

For advice in getting the most out of your system based on your measurements, we welcome you to send your .arc2 ﬁle (not screenshots) to Anthem Technical Support.

WHAT NOT TO DO

Upon seeing results for the ﬁrst time you may be tempted to immediately change the targets. There is rarely a good technical reason to do so. If you are not satisﬁed with the initial results, examine the red pre-correction measurement curve. This shows how your system is performing without room correction. Does it reﬂect the performance that you should be seeing from your speakers, especially in the bass? If not, do not try to compensate through electronic correction. You are not losing what was never there.

If you did change settings such that a large portion of the bass is being boosted, as would be shown by a wide range of the green corrected curve having higher level than the red measured curve, chances are that your equipment will be stressed more than the sound will improve. There is very little to gain by doing this.

Instead, address the real reasons behind the areas which could be improved but are beyond what electronic correction is meant to ﬁx, for example large dips in the in-room response. These are not uncommon and can almost always be cured by repositioning the speakers, especially the subwoofer, and repeating the measurement.

Can one set of measurements be used across multiple proﬁles but with different settings applied? Can the subwoofer be disabled in only one of the proﬁles?

THE ANSWER TO BOTH QUESTIONS IS YES, AND THE PROCEDURE IS:

• When starting the measurement (Automatic or Manual), set the proﬁles to be the same.

• In Manual mode, open the Targets panel and change the settings as desired – the same measurements will be used across the different proﬁles.

• To remove the subwoofer, select No Speaker from the pull-down menu. You may be tempted to remove the center and surround channels to create a proﬁle for playing 2-channel sources only from the front left and right speakers, but this is unnecessary because if the listening mode is “None” during playback, sound will not be redirected to the center and surround channels.

MAX EQ FREQUENCY

Default correction range is 5 kHz but this may be lowered for experimentation or comparison.

ROOM GAIN

If you wish to experiment by ﬂattening room gain, you can try it by setting this to 0 dB. Note that auto-detected room gain will be at or near 0 dB if bass absorbers are used or if the speakers are not particularly responsive in the bass region.

Also note that once ARC is disabled, the subwoofer level in the calibration menu stays the same as before, resulting in double room gain. For proper subwoofer level when ARC is turned off, reduce it in the setup menu by the same amount as the room gain shown in Targets.

4.7 ADVANCED SUBWOOFER TARGETS

Use of these controls is recommended only for the advanced user who understands the technical capabilities of the subwoofer model in use. When in doubt, use auto-detected settings and as always, check whether changes are worthwhile by listening to a variety of source material before and after changing the targets.

SUBWOOFER HIGH PASS ORDER

Here you may set the low-end slope. If you have a subwoofer that has strong output below 20 Hz, or if it uses its own low-frequency input protection (check with its manufacturer, don’t assume) then selecting Flat may improve system performance.

If on the other hand you have a subwoofer that is designed to be ﬂat to a certain frequency then have response that drops very quickly below that, manually selecting a steeper than average slope may be beneﬁcial. Normally, ARC does not auto-select a slope that is steeper than fourth-order (24 dB per octave rolloff) although up to eighthorder (48 dB per octave) is available through this manual selection.

SUBWOOFER HIGH PASS FREQUENCY

Use this with High Pass Order when manually creating a curve on the lower end of the subwoofer’s response. The left side of the red measured curve is the guideline for shaping the target curve. An attempt to use this as a bottom-end boost to increase low-frequency output is likely to be detrimental to the subwoofer’s performance. If the subwoofer’s speciﬁcations indicate that low-frequency output should be greater than the uncorrected in-room response curve is showing, then the proper solution would be to reposition the subwoofer.

5.5 DTS PLAY-FI

For setup and app installation information, refer to the network setup section. General information is available on https://play-ﬁ.com.

DTS Play-Fi is a music source that allows you to stream music from local sources including your phone, popular services (availability varies according to country), and internet radio to your AVM/MRX. Play-Fi does not compress audio. File formats up to 24-bit / 192 kHz .wav and .ﬂac are supported as long as the network and the mobile device support the data rates involved. If using network accessible storage (NAS), it must be NTFS or FAT32 formatted, and with DLNA enabled.

Once installed and set up, select Play-Fi on the AVM/MRX as you would any other input such as the FM tuner, and open the Play-Fi app on your mobile device or computer to select music, create zones, and control volume on all Play-Fi devices that are on your network. Tapping the Play-Fi symbol gives access to zone setup.

5.6 LEVEL TRIM

5.8 LIP-SYNC

If the audio is not synchronized with the video, press Lip-Sync then up/down. Up to 300 milliseconds of audio delay may be used. Changing lip-sync on the ﬂy changes the input’s lip-sync setting in the setup menu.

5.9 LISTENING MODES

Refer to the Input Setup section for a description of listening modes. Once the AVM/MRX’s display shows the input format, the listening mode preset will apply. If you wish, you can make a different selection after pressing the MODE button.

At times it might appear that the AVM/MRX is detecting a sound format different from the one that you would like to be playing. Note that the source is in control and that the connection to the AVM/MRX carries one format at a time. To ensure that audio is sent to the AVM/MRX in its original form:

1. In the source’s setup menu ensure that digital audio output is set to Bitstream mode for all Dolby Digital and DTS formats.

2. If the source is a Blu-ray player, also ensure that Secondary Audio is disabled.

3. If the source material is on Blu-ray or DVD, you may want to select an audio track other than the disc’s default. There are two ways to do this – through the audio or language setup in the disc’s menu, or during the movie by pressing AUDIO on the player’s remote control.

5.10 DOLBY VOLUME AND DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL

DYN

BALDIM

PG/PR

Refer to the Input Setup section for a description of Dolby Volume. Output is forced to a maximum of 7.1 channels if height channels are conﬁgured. To change on/off status press DYN on the remote control then up/down. To change Leveler amount press DYN a second time when Dolby Volume is on then adjust.

When Dolby Volume is off another dynamic range control becomes available after DYN is pressed a second time. This also allows you to control the difference between the softest and loudest passages, but only on multichannel Dolby Digital soundtracks that contain dynamic scaling cues. Press up/down to select:

NORMAL: No dynamic range modiﬁcation.

REDUCED: Allows the quieter parts to be heard more easily by raising the level of quieter

sounds and/or reducing the level of louder ones according to cues in the soundtrack.

LATE NIGHT: Further reduces the softest-to-loudest difference.

Many sources also have dynamic range controls. Be sure to disable them to get the most from the AVM/MRX’s controls and to prevent dynamic range from being reduced twice. In some cases the names of settings in sources are confusing because “Extended” can mean dynamics are left alone while “Normal” can mean they’re reduced. Check the operating manuals of your sources to ﬁnd what their settings mean and when they apply because sometimes default settings reduce dynamics.

5.11 DTS:X DIALOG LEVEL CONTROL

This applies only to dtsX sources making use of the function - to raise or lower the level of the dialog (actor voices), use the PG/PR up/down buttons on the remote. The range is 0-6 dB, default 3 dB.

5.12 DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS

To change the brightness of the front panel display and LED indicators, press DIM then up/ down to select High, Medium, Low, or Off.

5.13 INFO DISPLAY

Pressing the info button in succession displays following:

• Song info if tuner is selected
