Surround Format Information

The A/V PROCESSOR incorporates today’s most advanced surround-sound technologies, including variants of Dolby and DTS surround sound. Available processing technologies include Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx

ovie and Music modes, DTS, DTS ES-Matrix and ES Discrete,

M DTS Neo:6, It also offers 5-Channel Stereo and 7-Channel Stereo modes.

You may note that the A/V PROCESSOR includes fewer surround-sound modes than many other surround processors, such as “stadium,” “concert hall,” “jazz club,” etc. This was a conscious omission on our part—we consider such modes artificial-sounding and useless. Our customers have told us they don’t use them, either, and would rather not have to scroll past them when selecting surround-sound modes. If you want to hear surround sound from stereo sources, you will achieve the best results by using Dolby Pro Logic II or DTS Neo:6.

The table on the next page lists the surround processing choices available within each mode. Depending on the selected source (analog or digital) and your loudspeaker configuration, certain processing options may not appear or operate.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

THE A/V PROCESSOR AUTOMATICALLY SENSES

AND SETS THE SURROUND MODE OF THE

SELECTED SOURCE. ANY DESIRED CHANGES,

FOR EXAMPLE: DOLBY DIGITAL SURROUND TO DTS-ES

MUST BE MADE AT THE SOURCE DEVICE (IF AVAILABLE).

Dolby Digital

This digit sound Dolby Digital source material includes DVDs, digital TV br video g cable programming, and D-VHS tapes.

Dolby Digital EX

Movie soundtracks encoded with Dolby Digital Surround EX contain an extra back surround channel, added to the soundtrack during mixing, whic listener. This additional channel provides more detailed imaging behind the listener, enhancing depth, ambience, and sound localization. One or tw may be used.

Dolby Pro Logic IIx

olby Pro logic IIx is the latest version of Dolby’s Pro Logic

D technology. Pro Logic II is a substantial improvement over the original Pro Logic process; Pro Logic IIx is a new 7.1-channel version of Pro Logic II. It can be employed only when back surround speakers are connected. Otherwise, the A/V PROCESSOR will provide only standard Pro Logic II processing.

The Pro Logic IIx Movie mode is intended for Dolby Surround-encoded movie and TV soundtracks. It also works well for video games, especially those encoded in Pro Logic II. Use this mode for VHS tapes, standard TV broadcasts, and DVDs encoded in Dolby Digital 2.0.

The Pro Logic IIx Music mode converts stereo music into surround sound. Use it with any stereo music source, including CDs, FM radio, and MP3 players.

Pro Logic IIx processing can also be applied to 5.1-channel material, either Dolby Digital or DTS, to create 7.1-channel sur

round sound.

DTS

This format is similar to Dolby Digital, but uses a higher sampling rate. In its standard form, DTS provides 5.1-channel surround sound. It is available on CD, DVD, laserdiscs, PlayStation 2 video games, and D-VHS tapes. Audio-only DTS discs may be used with any CD, DVD, or laserdisc player with a digital audio output, but DVD discs with DTS audio must be used on players with the “DTS Digital Out” logo.

DTS-ES

DTS-ES is an extension of the original DTS format that adds an additional back surround channel to a soundtrack. DTS ES-Matrix titles provide the sixth channel by a matrix process, while DTS ES-Discrete media delivers a true, discrete back surround channel. Both DTS ES formats are backward compatible with the original DTS process, and will deliver a

5.1-channel output when no center or back surround speakers are available.

The A/V PROCESSOR will automatically sense the availability of either DTS ES format and automatically switch the processing mode when required.

DTS Neo:6

This processing mode can create up to six full-bandwidth channels from any matrix-encoded 2-channel source. It offers two modes, Cinema and Music. Use the Cinema mode for movie soundtracks, the Music mode for stereo music.

Connecting Your A/V Processor

Connecting Audio Components

Before proceeding, please observe the following precautions when connecting devices to your new A/V PROCESSOR.

■ Do not plug the power cord into your A/V PROCESSOR

ntil all other connections have been made.

■ Always refer to the instructions that came with the

component that you are connecting for specific procedures, warnings, and options.

■ For all analog connections, the red input jacks (R)

are used for the right channel, white input jacks (L) are used for the left channel, and yellow input jacks (V) are used for the composite video connection.

■ Make sure to insert all plugs and connectors securely.

Improper connections can result in noise, poor performance, or damage to the equipment.

■ Do not bundle audio/video connection cables with

power cords and speaker cables. This may adversely affect the picture and sound quality. For example, run all the power cords down one side of the cabinet, all the signal cords down the other side, and the speaker wire down the center.

■ When connecting devices to the digital inputs and

outputs, you may also consider hooking up the analog connections to and from the components to ensure that all signals can he employed by the A/V PROCESSOR (especially if you plan to use the A/V PROCESSOR ’s second-zone capability).

■ When using an optical input or output jack, always

use a high-quality optical fiber cable.

■ Any signal that appears at the component video

input jacks is automatically sent to the component video output jacks only.

■ Any signal that appears at the DVI video input jacks

is automatically sent to the DVI video output jack only (ATP8700).

NOTE: To provide the greatest flexibility, you should connect a composite or S-Video cable from all of your video devices to the A/V PROCESSOR, even if you are already using a component video. This will allow all of your video sources to be visible in the second zone, if you are using the A/V PROCESSOR’s multi-zone capability.

Analog Audio Connect the L and R channel outputs on the

VD player to the DVD analog audio jacks on the rear of the

D A/V PROCESSOR.

Digital Audio Connect the digital output jack on the DVD player to one of the coaxial or optical input jacks on the rear

f the A/V PROCESSOR, depending on the type of connector

o used by the DVD player. Later, you will configure the A/V PROCESSOR to use the specific digital audio input that you have chosen. For now, note which digital input you connected to on your system chart.

Multi-Channel Audio If your DVD player supplies a multi-channel audio output for DVD-Audio or SACD playback, connect the six outputs from your player to the 7.1 INPUT jack set on the rear panel of the A/V PROCESSOR. Use the FRONT L&R, SURR L&R, CEN and SUB jacks; ignore the jacks labeled

ACK L&R. (These are intended to accommodate 7.1-channel

B audio technology if it appears in the future.) Be careful to match the connections–L to L, right surround to SURR R, center to CEN, and so on. If your player includes a built-in Dolby Digital decoder with 5.1-channel analog audio outputs but no DVD-A or SACD capability, we suggest that you do not use them. Use one of the A/V PROCESSOR’s digital audio inputs instead–you’ll get better sound.

Also, because the A/V PROCESSOR’s on-screen display does not appear on the component outputs, S-Video, or composite video connections should be used.

Antenna Connections

Other Connections

The ATP8700 and ATP7700 A/V PROCESSORs have an internal AM/FM tuner with separate external connections for each radio band.

M Antenna (ATP8700 and ATP7700)

Push the coaxial connector onto the connector labeled FM on the back of the A/V PROCESSOR.

The supplied FM antenna is for indoor use only. For best signal reception you must fully extend the antenna. Experiment with the antenna’s position to obtain the strongest signal. You can attach it to a wall or other surface using push pins, tacks or small nails.

If FM reception is poor with the supplied indoor antenna, we recommend using an amplified indoor or outdoor antenna. You can connect a 75-ohm type FM antenna directly to the A/V PROCESSOR.

AM Antenna

Connect the supplied AM antenna to the push terminals labeled AM on the rear panel of the A/V PROCESSOR. Start by pressing in the lever on one of the terminals. Next, insert one of the antenna wires. Release the lever and repeat the process with the other lever and the other wire. Experiment with the antenna’s position to obtain the strongest signal.

Remote Control

The IR jacks allow you to extend the remote control sensor built into the front of the A/V PROCESSOR so that you may control the A/V PROCESSOR even when it is installed behind

olid or smoked cabinet doors. This jack allow you to control

s the A/V PROCESSOR from a second zone (room), and they also allow the A/V PROCESSOR to relay remote-control codes to other concealed components. To install a remote sensor (available from such companies as Niles Audio and Xantech), connect it to the IR INPUT jack.

DC Trigger

MAIN ZONE TRIGGER is always used to turn on other devices when the A/V PROCESSOR is powered on, and to turn them off when you turn off the A/V PROCESSOR. We recommend this jack with a compatible power amplifier, such as those available from ATI.

Use a cable tipped at each end with a 1/8-inch (3.5mm) mono phone plug to connect the A/V PROCESSOR’s MAIN ZONE TRIGGER jack to the amplifier’s DC Trigger Input jack.

Use a cable tipped at each end with a 1/8-inch (3.5mm) mono phone plug to connect the A/V PROCESSOR’s 12 VOLT DC TRIGGER jack to the DC Trigger Input jack on the component you want to control. You may have to use an adapter, depending on what type of input jack the other component uses.

Using the AM/FM Tuner

The high quality built-in AM/FM tuner on the ATP8700 and ATP7700 has an auto-tune feature and may be programmed with up to 10 presets. When using presets, it is not necessary to switch bands manually. You can save AM and FM station presets randomly. Presets will not be lost in the event of a power failure.

To use the tuner, press the tuner button on the front panel or on the remote control. Choose the AM or FM band by pressing

Amplifier Connections

IMPORTANT NOTE: BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE ANY CONNECTION TO YOUR POWER AMPLIFIER, MAKE SURE

THE AMPLIFIER IS TURNED OFF AND/OR DISCONNECTED

FROM AC POWER. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN SEVERE

DAMAGE TO YOUR AMPLIFIER AND/OR LOUDSPEAKERS.

Before attempting to make any connection to your power

ier, make sure the amplifier is turned off and/or

plif

am disconnected from AC power. Failure to do so can result in severe damage to your amplifier and/or loudspeakers.

Main Zone

Use the audio jacks labeled AUDIO VIDEO OUTPUTS to connect the A/V PROCESSOR to an external power amplifier such as those from ATI. The A/V PROCESSOR can output up to 7.1 channels of sound (seven main channels and one subwoofer), even when you are listening to 2-channel stereo material.

The output jacks supplied by the A/V PROCESSOR are: Front Left and Right, Surround Left and Right, Surround Back Left and Right, and Subwoofer (SUB) and Center (CEN).

Be sure to verify that the correct outputs are connected to the appropriate input jacks on your amplifier—for example, Front Left to Front Left, Surround Back Right to Surround Back Right, etc. If the inputs on your amplifier are not labeled, it

probably does not matter which of the A/V PROCESSOR’s output channels is connected to a particular amp channel. However, you must be sure that the appropriate speaker is connected to that amp channel.

When a powered subwoofer is used, connect the Subwoofer output jack to the Line Input jack on your subwoofer (use either the Left or Right input if your subwoofer has both) and follow any specific connection and/or configuration instructions supplied with the subwoofer. If your subwoofer is a passive speaker (with no built-in amplifier), connect the subwoofer output jack on the A/V PROCESSOR to the input of the amplifier used to power the subwoofer, and then connect the subwoofer speaker itself to the amplifier.

The ATP8700 offers both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) outputs. If your amplifier has balanced inputs, we recommend you use balanced audio cables between the ATP8700 and your amplifier. Using balanced cables could result in a slight reduction in noise, and because XLR connectors lock into place, they cannot come loose as RCA connectors can. On the ATP8700, both balanced and unbalanced jacks are active all of the time, so you can mix them up–for example, using balanced connections for a high-end stereo amplifier connected to your front left and right speakers, and unbalanced connections for all of the other channels.

■ These speakers should be placed at the same relative height from the floor and a similar distance from any walls. Most speakers sound best when located with the tweeter at ear height when you’re seated. Typically, the further away from the walls

he speakers are, the better they will sound.

■ Ensure that the speakers are aimed at the listener’s ears within your chosen seating position.

Surround Left and Right Speakers

■ Place these speakers so that their height is approximately 1 meter (3 feet) higher than that of the listener’s ears, if feasible.

■ Place these speakers to the sides of, or slightly behind, the primary listening position.

Surround back left and back right speakers

These speakers are required for Dolby Digital EX, DTS ES, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, and 7-Channel Stereo. They are also desirable—though not required—for DTS Neo:6.

■ Place these speakers behind the listener so that the angle between each speaker and the listener is approximately 30 degrees.

■ Place these speakers so that their height is 1 meter

t) higher than that of the listener’s ears.

Speaker Size Selection

For maximum audio performance, you must tell the A/V PROCESSOR what speaker configuration you are using. In the Speaker Size Menu, you will tell the A/V PROCESSOR whether or not you have a center speaker, side surround

peakers, back surround speakers, and a subwoofer. You will

s also tell the unit what size your speakers are, so it knows whether or not it is safe to route deep bass signals to them. Generally speaking, a small, bookshelf-type (or smaller) speaker is considered “small,” and a large, floorstanding speaker is considered “large.” If you have questions concerning the proper setting, consult the speaker’s manufacturer.

NOTE: The A/V PROCESSOR does not allow some speaker combination settings in order to avoid errors. You can set the subwoofer to “no” only if you have large full-range front speakers. If you have small limited-bass front speakers, the subwoofer setting will automatically be “yes.” If your front left and right speakers are set to “small,” your center speaker will automatically be set to “small.” If you have no side surround speakers, the back surround channels will automatically be deactivated.

To Set Speaker Size:

1. From MAIN MENU, press #1 QUICK SETUP–SPEAKER SIZE.

2. To set the size of the front left and right speakers, press the respective number of the speaker and toggle to small or large using the SELECT button.

3. Once you have set the front speaker size, press another number to move on to the other speakers, and or to adjust the size of those speakers.

4. When you have the size set for all of the speakers, press EXIT on the remote or front panel to save your settings.

Speaker Distance

The purpose of delay adjustment is to make all the sounds from the different speakers in your system arrive at your ears at the same time. If a sound appears in two speakers at once but sound from one arrives at your ears earlier (usually because you are sitting closer to that speaker), it will diminish the surround effect. The A/V PROCESSOR automatically calculates the proper delay based on the distance from your listening chair to each speaker. All you have to do is measure and write down the distance to each speaker, then enter these numbers in the A/V PROCESSOR’s Quick Setup Speaker Distance menu.

To Set the Speaker Distance for Each Channel:

1. From the MAIN MENU, press #2 QUICK SETUP–SPEAKER DISTANCE.

Multi-Zone Connection Notes

he A/V PROCESSOR’s multi-zone capability works only with

T analog audio sources. If you are using a digital audio cable to connect, say, a DVD player to your A/V PROCESSOR, you should also connect a pair of analog audio cables from your DVD player to the DVD analog audio inputs of the A/V PROCESSOR. The digital audio connection will still work in the main zone, but you will also be able to use the analog audio from your DVD player in the second zone.

The multi-zone video capability works only with composite and S-Video sources. Component and DVI video are not

vailable on the A/V PROCESSOR’s multi-zone output. In the

a second zone, you will need an amplifier and a pair of speakers for sound, and a TV if you want to watch video sources. You can use any sound system with a line-level input, and any video monitor with a composite video input. You can also use the audio inputs on the TV in lieu of a separate sound system.

Using Second-Zone Capability:

1. Press the Zone button on the remote to display the Second Zone settings.

2. Select the analog source device you wish to monitor (CD, DVD, Tuner)

3. Adjust volume as required.

For the Best Performance When Operating Your Remote Control, Please Follow the Guidelines Below:

■ Remember to point the remote control toward the remote

ontrol sensor on the A/V PROCESSOR, not toward the TV

c screen. Place the A/V PROCESSOR away from strong light such as direct sunlight or fluorescent light, which can prevent proper operation of the remote control.

■ Using another remote control of a similar type or placing

the A/V PROCESSOR near equipment which also uses infrared control may cause operational interference.

■ Do not put objects on the remote control. The buttons of

the remote control may be pressed by mistake and drain

he batteries.

■ Make sure any doors covering the front of the

OCESSOR do not have colored or smoked glass.

A/V PR Placing the unit behind such doors may prevent proper remote control operation.

■ If there is any obstacle between the remote control and the

remote control sensor, the remote control will not operate.

The remote control also has many advanced features that can add ease and enjoyment to the operation of your home entertainment system. After becoming familiar with the layout of the buttons on the remote (see pages 8 and 9), follow the steps below to customize the remote for your particular setup.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

The remote control uses two AA 1.5-volt alkaline batteries (supplied). Be sure to match the batteries with the + and markings inside the battery compartment during installation.

Note: Do not mix new and old batteries or different kinds off batteries. To avoid corrosion, remove the batteries if the

te control will not be used for one month or more.

Using Preprogrammed Codes

The A/V PROCESSOR remote can be programmed to operate other audio or video components in your system. The AVC button is used exclusively for control of the A/V PROCESSOR. To program the remote to control another device, you must

nter a four-digit code. Codes for a wide variety of devices

e and brands are provided in the following pages. More than one setup code number may work with your device. You should test the functions for each of the code numbers that work with your device to determine the best one for your particular unit.

The procedure for setting up the A/V PROCESSOR remote to control a TV/VCR is different—see Programming TV/VCR Control below.

NOTE: Some devices, such as CD players and DVD players that do not have power buttons on their original remote controls, may not shut off during programming. For these devices, it may be necessary to first store the setup code number and then test functions like PLAY, STOP, etc, to determine if the correct number has been selected.

To Program Using Four-digit Codes:

1. Turn on the device you would like the remote control to operate, either manually or with its original remote control.

2. Find the four-digit setup code number for your device from the tables on pages 29 through 33.

3. On the A/V PROCESSOR remote, press the component key (near the top of the remote) that corresponds to the device you want to control.

You can choose from CBL, AUX, VCR, TV, SAT, CD, or AMP.

NOTE: The codes for controlling DVD players are

ogrammed into the AUX button.

Press and hold SETUP on the remote until the red LED at

Care and Maintenance

Troubleshooting

CLEANING

When the unit becomes dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft, dry

loth. If necessary, first wipe the surface with a soft cloth

c slightly dampened with mild soapy water, then with a fresh cloth dampened with clean water. Wipe dry immediately with a dry cloth. NEVER use benzene, thinner, alcohol or any other volatile cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish of the metal parts. Avoid spraying insecticide, waxes, polishing agents, or any aerosol product near the unit.

WHEN YOU ARE AWAY

If you will not be using your system for an extended period of time, it is always a good idea to turn the unit off using the MAIN POWER button on the rear panel of the A/V PROCESSOR. This will prevent the automatic turn on circuits from accidentally turning the system on during your absence.

For Future Reference

Where Purchased ____________________________________

Your new A/V PROCESSOR is designed to provide years of trouble-free operation. However, the complexity of today’s

ophisticated home theater systems means that you might

s encounter an occasional problem with your system involving the A/V PROCESSOR. Listed below are some of the more common issues you could encounter.

SYSTEM RESET

In rare cases the A/V PROCESSOR’s internal processor may freeze or lock-up causing abnormal operation. This is common to all microprocessor-controlled devices when the unit is subject to excessive static discharge, AC line noise, or power spikes.

In most cases it is easy to solve this problem by simply unplugging the A/V PROCESSOR from its AC power source for about five minutes. After waiting, reconnect the power cord and turn the unit on. If the unit functions normally, no further action is needed.

In the event that the unit still does not operate properly, it may be necessary to manually reset the processor. Note, however, that when the processor is reset you will lose all settings including digital audio assignments, surround mode settings, speaker configurations, tuner presets and any other memory items. For this reason we strongly recommend that you record these settings so that it is easy to restore them after resetting the processor.

Symptom Possible Cause Solution Options

Unit does not turn on when remote No AC Power. Make certain AC power cord is plugged into a live outlet. or front panel buttons are pressed. Make certain rear panel MAIN POWER switch is ON.

Remote sensor is obscured. Make certain the front-panel remote sensor is not

blocked or connect an external remote sensor.

No sound from one or more channels.

Poor connections. Check interconnects to the amplifier and connections

from the amplifier to the speakers.
