SURROUND FORMAT INFORMATION

The FAP T1 employs the latest technology developed in conjunction with Cirrus Logic

, providing one of the most extensive arrays of surround decoding and processing currently available. You can choose from Dolby Pro Logic

II, Dolby Digital®5.1,Dolby Digital

, DTS®, DTS-ES®Discrete, DTS-ES®Matrix, DTS NEO:6®and

Cirrus Extra Surround

. Within each mode, the FAP T1 also offers a wide range of additional processing options. This means you can precisely match a surround mode to your program material, loudspeaker setup and personal taste. In addition, the

FAP T1 uses

Cirrus Logic's Triple Crossover

and Precision Bass Management

features to provide maximum flexibility when setting up your audio surround system (see "System Setup" on page 20 for further details).

The table on the following page lists the surround processing choices available within each mode. Depending on the selected source (

D-digital or A-analog) and your loud-speaker configuration,

certain processing options may not appear or operate.

Dolby Digital

This digital audio format provides 5.1 -channel surround sound. Dolby Digital source material includes DVDs, Laser Discs, HDTV broadcasts, some satellite delivered programming, and the output of some digital cable set top boxes.

Features

Dolby Digital Surround EX

Film soundtracks encoded with Dolby Digital Surround EX technology contain an extra channel, added to the soundtrack during mixing, called Surround Back, which places audio behind the listener in addition to the existing front left, front center, front right, surround left, sur-round right, and subwoofer channels. This additional channel provides more detailed imaging behind the listener creating more depth, spacious ambience and sound localization than before.

A list of movies created using Dolby Digital Surround EX can be found on the Dolby web site at www.dolby.com

NOTE:Surround EX mode can also be engaged during the playback

of 5.1 channel material that is not Dolby Digital Surround EX or DTS-ES Matrix or Discrete encoded. When used this way, signals from the left and right surrounds are used to synthesize the surround back channel. Results using this method will vary depending on the source material.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II, designed by Jim Fosgate, is a major enhancement to surround sound systems. In addition to the full range surrounds, Pro Logic II allows optimum playback of cinema and music soundtracks. There are three user adjustable options (found in the menu) that may be adjusted in Pro Logic II Music mode. In addition, when the Cirrus Extra Surround processing option is engaged for a

7.1 channel playback, these options remain engaged.

Panorama extends the front stereo image to the surround channels. It is particularly useful when the source material has a narrow stereo mix.

Dimension allows the front sound-stage to be more coherently matched with the surround sound-field, particularly to compensate for differences between the front and surround speakers, and speaker location. Personal preference becomes the deciding factor as to how much Dimension to “dial in”.

Center Width allows blending of center front channel information into the front left and right channels. This is particularly useful to compensate when the center speaker is a different type or design from that of the left and right speakers. When Center Width is used to the fullest extent, a phantom center is created.

NOTE:In the Pro Logic II Music Mode time delay is disengaged.

Additionally, Panorama, Dimension and Center Width are not available in the Pro Logic II Cinema mode. Because the steering logic dynamics of Pro Logic II Cinema and Music are identical, many listeners often use the Music mode for both music and cinema playback.

DTS

This compressed digital data format is similar to Dolby Digital, but uses a higher data rate. DTS also provides a maximum of 5.1 channel surround channels and is available on compact disc, DVD and Laser Discs. Audio-only DTS discs may be used with any CD, LD or DVD 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 sixth, or center surround, channel to a soundtrack. DTS-ES Matrix titles provide the sixth channel by a matrix process, while DTS-ES Discrete media deliver a true discrete center surround channel. Both DTS-ES formats are backwards compatible with the original DTS process, and will deliver a 5.1 channel output when no center or back surround speakers are available.

The

FAP T1 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 6 full bandwidth channels from any matrix-encoded 2-channel source. Additionally, this mode can produce the rear surround information from a 5.1 source.

In Music Mode it can expand stereo music material, such as from a CD, into a multichannel surround experience.

Cirrus Extra Surround

This unique decoding algorithm creates 6.1 or 7.1 output from either matrix-encoded or discrete audio signals. When Cirrus Extra Surround is selected using either the remote or the front panel controls the display will show the primary selected mode plus a CR identifier-such as PL2C-CR. To determine what mode is best for any specific program material it will be necessary to experiment to decide what suits your systems and personal taste best.

Stereo

This mode provides conventional 2 channel signals to the left and right front speakers only.

Installation Considerations

Installation

Installation Location

To assure proper operation and to avoid the potential for safety hazards, place the unit on a firm and level surface capable of supporting it's weight. When placing the unit on a shelf, be certain that the shelf and any mounting hardware can support the weight of the unit and any additional items in the equipment rack, or on the shelf.

When positioning the

FAP T1 in its final location, make certain that it has adequate ventilation on all sides, as well as on the top and bottom. In particular, it is a good idea to provide at least two or three inches of room above the unit for air circulation.

DO NOT

place CDs, DVDs, videotapes, owner's manuals, or other paper on top of, or beneath, the unit, or in-between multiple amplifiers in a stack. This will block airflow, causing heat build-up, degraded performance, and may create a possible fire hazard.

Before proceeding, please observe the following precautions when connecting devices to your new

FAP T1.

• Do not plug the power cord into your FAP T1 until 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. Doing so 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 wires 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 insure that all signals can be employed by the preamp/processor.

• When using the optical input or output jacks, remove the protective cap and keep it in a safe place. When these jacks are not in use the protective cap should be replaced.

• When using an optical input or output jack, always use a high-quality optical fiber cable.

IMPORTANT:We strongly recommend that before you connect any

loudspeakers to your amplifiers, you complete all needed connections and set up procedures to your FAP T1 as outlined below. This will reduce the chance that a mis-connection or other error will produce audio output that might damage your speakers or other components.

Gives, the wide variety of components that can be connected to your

FAP T1, there are numerous ways in which your system can be assembled. To help you with this task, use the chart at the end of this manual to record the components connected to your unit, as well as which type of input (analog, coaxial, S-Video, etc.) is used. Keep this chart for future reference.

There are many possible ways to connect a particular device. Use the diagrams on the following pages as a guideline. The information in this section contains some of the more common situations you might encounter in your system. Always consult the owner's manual that came with the component you are connecting for more information on the source component's connections.

If the unit is to be enclosed in a cabinet or rack, make certain there is adequate air circulation. Sufficient ventilation should be provided so that hot air may exit, and cool air may enter the cabinet. In some instances, a small cooling fan may be required to insure adequate airflow through the cabinet. If you are in doubt as to the ventilation requirements for your specific installation, please contact us. Also, do not place the

FAP T1 directly on a carpeted surface, as this will inhibit airflow underneath as well as create a potential fire hazard.

Avoid installation in humid locations, in extremely hot or cold locations, or in areas that are exposed to direct sunlight or space heating equipment.

Installation

Connecting Audio Components

CONNECTING AUDIO COMPONENTS

CD Player

Analog: Connect the L and R channel outputs on the CD player to the CD IN jacks on the

FAP T1.

Digital: If your CD player has a digital output jack, connect it to one of the coaxial (COAX 1 or 2) or optical (OPT 1-4) input jacks on the preamp/processor, depending on the type of connector used by the CD player. Later, you will con-figure the

FAP T1 to use the specific input that you have chosen. For now, note which digital input you connected to on your system chart.

Audio Recorder

A recording device such as a cassette deck, MD recorder, DAT deck or CD recorder can be connected to the

FAP T1 using either

or both of the following methods.

Analog: Connect the L and R audio outputs on the recorder (usually marked PLAY) to the TAPE IN jacks on the rear of the preamp/processor and connect the L and R audio inputs (usually marked REC) to the TAPE OUT jacks of the

FAP T1.

Digital: If your recorder has a digital output jack, connect it to one of the coaxial (COAX1 or2) or optical (OPT1-4) input jacks on the preamp/processor, depending on the type of connector used by the device. Later, you will configure the

FAP T1 to use the specific input that you have chosen. For now, note which digital input you connected to on your system chart.

the recorder.

Installation

Connecting Video Components

CONNECTING VIDEO COMPONENTS

Before making connections to any video devices, understand how the

FAP T1 routes the video portion of the signal through its video

section.

• Any signal that appears at one of the composite video input jacks (DVD, VIDEO 1, 2 or 3) is automatically sent to the composite video OUT and VCR OUT jacks, as well as the S-Video OUT and VCR OUT jacks.

• Any signal that appears at the S-Video input jacks (DVD, VIDEO 1, 2 or 3) is automatically sent to the S-Video OUT and VCR OUT jacks, as well as the composite video OUT and VCR OUT jacks.

• Any signal that appears at the component video (DVD or VIDEO 1) input jacks is automatically sent to the component video MONITOR OUT connection only.

NOTE:To provide the greatest signal flexibility, connect all

available types of inputs and outputs from your video devices. For example, if only the composite video output (yellow RCA jack) connection is made to your display device, component sources will not be available, even if they are connected to the

FAP T1.

DVD Player

Composite: Connect the composite video output from the DVD player to the DVD video input jack on the rear of the

FAP T1 using

an RCA-type video cable.

S-Video: If there is an S-Video output on the DVD player, and you have an S-Video input on your TV or monitor, connect it to the S-Video DVD input on the rear of the

FAP T1 using an S-Video cable. S-Video delivers a better picture than composite connections and should be used whenever possible unless you can use component connections, which deliver better video than S-Video.

Component: If the DVD player has component video outputs, connect them to the DVD component video input jacks on the rear of the

FAP T1 using an appropriate cable set.

Analog Audio: Connect the L and R channel outputs on the DVD player to the DVD IN audio jacks on the rear of the

FAP T1 to use the specific input that you haw chosen. For now, note which digital input you connected to on your system chart.

Installation

Multi-channel Audio If your DVD player supplies a multi-channel audio output (for DVD Audio or SACD playback), connect the six outputs (special cable sets for this are available from numerous sources) from your player to the six input jacks labeled MULTI CHANNEL INPUT on the rear panel of the

FAP T1. Be sure match the connections—left to left, right surround to right surround, and so on. If your player includes a built-in Dolby Digital decoder and has 5.1 channel analog audio outputs we suggest that you do not use them, but use the digital audio connection and the

FAP T1's

internal decoders instead.

If you are connecting a DVD-Audio or SACD player to the

FAP T1

using these jacks, you will need to consider the setting for the Analog Bass Management switch on the

FAP T1's rear panel. If your system uses all full range speakers, set. the switch in the OFF position. In that setting the signal will be routed directly from the input jacks to the volume control.

However, if your system uses small, frequency-restricted satellite speakers, the switch should be set to the ON position. In that setting the signals sent to the main speakers will be cut at 80 Hz and a summed bass signal will be sent to the subwoofer output. Note that you should place this switch in the OFF position if your playback source includes internal bass management circuitry.

Video Recorder

A video recording device such as a VCR, PVR (such as a TiVo®, Replay

, Uiti-mate TV®, DishPlayer®or similar device) or DVD

recorder can be connected to the

FAP T1 using the following

methods.

Composite: Connect the composite video output from the recording device to the VCR IN composite video jack on the rear of the preamp/processor. Connect the recording device's composite video input to the VCR OUT composite video jack of the

FAP T1

using an RCA-type video cable.

S-Video: If there is an S-Video output on the recording device, connect it to the S-Video VCR IN input on the rear of the preamp/processor and connect the S-Video input to the S-Video VCR OUT using an S-Video cable. S-Video delivers a better picture than composite connections and should be used whenever possible unless you can use component connections, which deliver better video than S-Video.

Component: If the recording device has component video outputs, connect them to one of the component video input jacks (DVD or VIDEO 1) on the rear of the preamp/processor using an appropriate cable set.

Analog Audio: Connect the L and R audio outputs on the recorder to the VCR IN audio jacks on the rear of the preamp/processor and connect the L and R inputs of the recorder to the VCR OUT audio jacks on the

FAP T1.

Digital Audio: If your recording device also has a digital audio output jack, connect it to one of the coaxial (COAX 1 or 2) or optical (OPT 1-4) input jacks on the rear of the preamp/processor, depending on the type of connector used by the device. Later, you will configure the

FAP T1 to use the specific input that you have chosen. For now, note which digital input you connected to on your system chart.

If your recording device also has a digital input jack, connect it to either the coaxial or optical output jack on the rear of the preamp/processor, depending on the type of connector used by the device. The signal from the selected input source of the FAP T1 will be sent to the recorder.

Component: If the display has component video inputs, connect them to the component video MONITOR OUT jacks on the rear of the

FAP T1 using an appropriate cable set.

NOTE: Since the FAP T1 converts composite video to S-Video and

vice versa, you need only make one of those two types of connections between the

FAP T1 and your video display. However, when component video connections are used it is still necessary to make either the composite or S-Video connections so that you are able to view the on-screen menus and displays which do not appear on the component outputs. The

FAP T1 does not convert from either composite

or S-Video to component or vice versa.

Satellite Tuner or Television

Composite: Connect the composite video output from the satellite tuner or television to one of the video input jacks (VIDEO 1,2 or 3) on the rear of the

FAP T1 using an RCA-type video cable.

S-Video: If there is an S-Video output on the satellite tuner or television, connect it to one of the S-Video inputs (VIDEO 1,2 or 3) on the rear of the

Digital Audio: If your satellite tuner or television has a digital output jack, connect it to one of the coaxial (COAX 1 or 2) or optical (OPT 1-4) input jacks on the rear of the preamp/processor, depending on the type of connector used by the device. Later, you will configure the

FAP T1 to use the specific input that you have chosen. For now, note which digital input you connected to on your system chart.

Installation

FM Antenna

Connect the supplied FM antenna to the terminal labeled FM75Ω. Do not over tighten as this may damage the connection.

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 or similar apparatus.

If FM reception is poor with the supplied indoor antenna, the use of an amplified indoor or outdoor antenna is recommended.

NOTE:You can only connect a 75Ω type FM antenna to the

FAP T1. If you choose to use an antenna other than the one supplied, be sure to verify that it has the correct type of connector or that you obtain an appropriate adapter.

Try to ovoid using the same antenna for both FM and TV reception since the signals can interfere with each other. If you must use a com-mon FM/TV antenna, be sure that you install an splitter to separate the two signals.

AM Antenna

Connect the AM antenna to the terminals labeled AM and E(arth) on the rear panel of the preamp/processor. Start by pressing the lever on the side of one of the terminals to the right. Next, insert one of the antenna wires into the opening. Finish by returning the lever to the up position, securing the wire. Do the same for the other wire to complete installation.

The output jacks supplied by the

FAP T1 are: left Front, Center, Right Front, Left Surround, Right Surround, Left Surround Back, Right Surround Back, and Subwoofer.

Be sure to verify that the correct outputs are connected to the appropriate input jacks (Left Front to Left Front, Right Surround Back to Right Surround Back, etc.)

When a powered subwoofer is used, connect the Subwoofer output jack to the Line Input jack on your subwoofer and follow any specific connection and/or configuration, instructions supplied with the subwoofer. If your subwoofer is a passive speaker, connect the subwoofer output jack on the

FAP T1 to the input of the amplifier used to power the subwoofer, and then connect the subwoofer speaker itself to the amplifier.

Second Zone (Zone 2)

Use the L and R channel ZONE OUT audio jacks to connect the FAP T1 to the analog audio inputs of an external amplifier or other audio component in a second zone. The signal present will reflect the input selection of the

FAP T1. This may be adjusted using the

Zone Menu or the MULTI button on the remote control.

Power Control Connections

The DC TRIGGER jacks are used to remotely turn-on other devices in your system when the

FAP T1 is powered on. Power is applied

to the MAIN Trigger Output jack when the

FAP T1 is turned on from the Standby Mode. We recommend that this jack be used to turn on a compatible power amplifier such as those available from Fosgate Audionics, but it may also be used to activate compatible products such as projection screens or motorized blinds.

Connect a 3.5mm mono mini-plug between the DC Trigger MAIN jack on the rear panel of the

FAP T1 and the low voltage trigger jack of the device to be controlled to enable remote turn-on of that component. The ZONE Trigger jack is activated when the Multi-room system is turned on and should be used for control of amplifiers used to power the speakers installed in the remote zone. It will remain activated as long as the Multi-room system is on, even when the

FAP T1 is in the Standby mode for the main room.

Remote Control

The EXT REMOTE jacks allow you to extend the on-board remote control sensor on the

FAP T1's front panel so that you may

continue to control the

FAP T1 even when it is installed behind solid or smoked cabinet doors or when the front panel sensor is otherwise not visible to the remote control.

To extend the remote sensor connect an optional remote sensor to the MAIN jack.

The ZONE jack is provided to enable remote control of the FAP T1's multi-zone system through the use of an optional remote sensor in the second zone. Connect the sensor to the ZONE jack using a 3.5mm mono mini-plug and the wiring specified by the sensor's manufacturer.

Power Connection

Insert the supplied power cord into the AC input of the rear panel of the preamp/processor. Do not use a power cord other than the one supplied with the

You can scroll in either direction using the and buttons.

You should choose a surround mode to be the default for this source. Please refer to the table on page 7 for a detailed listing of all options. Remember that all available mode options can be selected for a Digital input source, but certain modes will not be available through the Analog input for that source.

Selecting the default mode will not exclude other modes of surround decoding. In fact, certain digital signals (Dolby Digital, DTS, some Dolby Digital EX, and others) contain a special digital "flag" that tells the

FAP T1 to switch to that surround

mode. When the

FAP T1 receives one of these bitstreams it will switch to that mode of operation. Additionally, you can manually cycle through the available modes while the source is playing to choose the one you wish to use.

8. Press the button once to select TREBLE

9. Use the and buttons to adjust the Treble.

Treble boost can be adjusted from -6dB to +6dB in 2dB increments (default is 0dB).

10.Press the button once to select BASS.

11.Use the and buttons to adjust the Bass.

Bass boost can be adjusted from -6dB to +6dB in 2dB increments (default is 0dB).

NOTE:Any tone control setting you make in this mode are global,

and will affect all input sources and all output channels. They will remain in effect until you go back into the setup menu and change them or change them using the TONE button on the remote control.

12.Press the button to select NIGHT.

NOTE:This option only operates with a Dolby Digital or Dolby

Digital EX source and one of these modes is active.

This option allows you to set the amount of Dynamic Range Compression used when the

FAP T1 is placed into the NIGHT mode. This mode can also be selected by pressing the NIGHT button on the remote control.

There are two types of automatic compression control built into the Dolby Digital process. Compression makes the loud parts softer and the soft parts louder to reduce the difference between the two.

One type of compression is most useful for situations such as late night viewing of programs with a wide dynamic range (like many action movies) that might disturb others in your home. This function can also be used to provide compression for program material that may require enhancement of overall intelligibility (such as some older soundtracks). Another feature provided by this option is the necessary peak limiting required to avoid signal overload when "down-mixing" functions are selected.

The second variable provides additional peak limiting to allow overall average program level to be increased by adding even more compression to the signal.

These two algorithms can provide sufficient overall gain reduction to allow even wide dynamic range soundtracks with very soft parts and very loud parts to maintain good audibility at low volume levels.

In most cases a minimum amount of dynamic range reduction is automatically included in the bitstream to ensure safe down-mixing.

13.Use the and buttons to select a Dynamic Range option you prefer for the Night setting,

NO COMP This option leaves the compression at 0% change. DR COMP1 This option increases the compression by 25%. DR COMP2 This option increases the compression by 50%, DR COMP3 This option increases the compression by 75%. DR COMP4 This option increases the compression by 100%.

Each option increases the amount of Dynamic Range compression to the signal. Depending on your family, neighbors, circumstances, and the overall volume you wish to achieve, we recommend you start with DR COMP1 or DR COMP2 as your initial setting. You will have to experiment with program material and your personal preferences to determine what is acceptable and best for you.

14.Press the button to select RETURN TO MAIN MENU.

15.Press the

(Select) or MENU button to return to the Main Menu, or press the MENU button twice to exit the menu system.

NOTE:Except for the input source and surround mode, the settings

chosen during this input setup process are universal and apply to all sources. You will need to correctly set each digital source to the appropriate input and select a default surround mode for each source connected to your

FAP T1. Once you have completed these selections, proceed to the next step: configuring your loudspeaker setup and calibrating your system.

System Setup

SPEAKER CONFIGURATION – Setup and Selection

You are now ready to configure the FAP T1 for your particular loudspeaker system. Before proceeding please read the following information carefully:

Speaker Placement

The best speaker placement for your particular room will depend on its size, furnishings, seating arrangement, the acoustical properties of the space, including wall type, coverings, and various other factors.

Due to the complex nature of these variables it is impossible to recommend any one-size-fits-all placement. You may well have to experiment with various placement options to determine the best configuration for your specific situation. Please note that, the configuration and placement of your speakers is critical for creating the best possible surround sound playback.

Here are some basic recommendations you should consider when positioning your speakers.

Front left, center and right speakers:

• 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 the speakers are, the better they will sound.

• Insure 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 3 feet (1 meter) higher than that of the listener's ears if feasible.

Surround back left and right speakers

These speakers are required for Surround EX, DTS-ES, DTS NEO:6 and Cirrus Extra Surround playback.

• 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 3 feet (1 meter) higher than that of the listener's ears.

Note on dipole surround loudspeakers: Most dipole surround

speakers have an arrow which indicates their proper orientation relative to your video display/screen. Dipoles placed on side walls should have the arrows pointing forward. Dipoles placed on a rear or back wall should have the arrows pointing towards each other to achieve the correct acoustical image in the room.

Subwoofer

Subwoofer placement can frequently be a trial and error affair as bass energy set up "standing waves" in most every room. These standing waves can cause areas with too much bass, areas with too little bass, and areas in between. You may have to move the subwoofer and or the prime listening area to improve the bass response. Be aware that every surface you place the woofer close to (one wall, floor, two walls in a comer) will increase the overall apparent bass in the room. But

this can potentially lead to boomy and muddy sounding bass.

When connecting any speakers, be sure to read the instruction manuals that came with the product and check your power amplifier's instruction manual for proper hook-up of the loudspeakers.

IMPORTANT: The FAP T1 is shipped from

the factory in the following default mode:

Output Configuration 7.1

Speaker Size Small

All Crossovers 100Hz

System Setup

To configure the FAP T1 for your speaker system:

The first step in configuring the FAP T1 to operate with your speaker system is to set the type, number and crossover frequencies of your particular loudspeakers. You make these selections using the Speaker Configuration menu shown below.

NOTE:The following selected menus appear on the FAP T1

Display and the OSD (On Screen Display)

Figure 2

1. Press the MENU button to enter the Main Menu.

The Main Menu appears and the cursor should be pointing to INPUT CONFIG.

2. Press the button once to select SPEAKER CONFIG.

3. Press (Select) to enter the Speaker Configuration menu.

The Speaker Configuration menu appears and the cursor should be pointing to FRONT.

The first three settings in the Speaker configuration menu deal with the type of speakers you are using in your system. It is very important that you understand what is meant by the LARGE and SMALL settings in this menu. They do not refer to the physical size of the speakers, but to their ability to handle very powerful deep bass. Most loudspeaker systems on the market should be classified as Small, since they do not have the capability to handle the often extraordinary amount of deep bass content film soundtracks can contain.

It is strongly recommended that you consult your loudspeaker instruction manual regarding the capabilities of your particular system with regard to low bass/low frequency reproduction.

Please note that all THX certified loudspeaker systems are classified under this method as SMALL since a subwoofer is required for any THX certified loudspeaker system.

Always consider using a subwoofer for any system which you expect to effectively handle the low frequency dynamics of modern motion picture soundtrack sources such as DVD or HDTV feeds, and many other discrete multi-channel programming sources.

If you aren't sure about your speaker's real world capabilities and you are using a subwoofer, choose Small, since this will insure that all the appropriate low frequency information is directed to the subwoofer where it can be most effectively handled.

4. Use the and buttons to cycle through the speaker

options for the FRONT speaker.

The following options are available for each group of speakers:

• For FRONT you can select SMALL or LARGE.

• For CENTER you can select SMALL, LARGE or NONE.

• For SURR(OUNDS) you can select SMALL, LARGE or

NONE.

• For SURR(OUNDS) REAR you can select BS(LB), LB/RB or

NONE.

LB/RB means you have a Left Back and Right Back rear surround speaker setup for use in a 7.1 configuration. BS(LB) means you have a single centrally placed BACK Surround speaker for use in a 6.1 (EX) type configuration.

• For SUBWOOFER you can select 0N or 0FF

5. Press the button when you have made a selection.

Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you have completed selecting the speaker type for each loudspeaker in your system.

6. Press the button when you are finished to select FRONT

XOVER (Crossover).

The Front, Center and Surround Crossover menus are used to independently set the internal High Pass filter of the

FAP T1's

Cirrus Triple Crossover for each of these three speaker groups.

7. Use the and buttons to adjust the Front Crossover.

The crossover settings appear as follows as you scroll through them:

40Hz > 60Hz > 80Hz > 100Hz > 120Hz > 150Hz

You can scroll in either direction using the and buttons.

Consult the material that came with your loudspeakers to determine the correct settings, if any are recommended. The THX standard is 80Hz. In general, if you are not sure about the frequency response of your speakers, we recommend you set the crossover at 80Hz, unless otherwise directed by the manufacturer. If you are using very small satellite speakers you may need to set the crossovers to 100 or even 120Hz. When correctly set, you should hear a smooth transition of lower to upper bass between the satellites and the subwoofer.

8. Press the button when you have made a selection.

Repeat steps 7 and 8 until you have completed the speaker crossover settings for each group of speakers.

9. Press the button to select RETURN TO MAIN MENU.

10.Press the (Select) or MENU button to return to the

Main Menu, or press the MENU button twice to exit the menu system.

System Setup

CHANNEL CALIBRATION – Setup and Selection

The next step is to adjust the output level of each channel so that they are properly matched. This must be done to insure a correct presentation of multi-channel sound sources. The adjustment must be as precise as possible, and is almost impossible to accomplish by ear. Therefore, we recommend that you use a Sound Level Meter. This device insures that all loudspeaker levels are precisely matched and set accurately. (The Radio Shack Analog Sound level Meter is inexpensive and suitable for this task.)

NOTE:If for any reason you are not sure that you can accomplish

this calibration task or have any doubts as to how it should be done, please contact Fosgate Audionics' technical support BEFORE attempting this process.

Set the meter to Slow response and "C" weighting. Set it to the 70 or 80dB sensitivity scale. Position the meter at the approximate center of your listening area, at average ear height [approximately 40-46 inches (102-117cm)] with its microphone positioned vertically (pointing at the ceiling). Don't aim the microphone at the speakers, as this will produce inaccurate results.

To proceed with the adjustments, you will access the Channel Calibration menu shown below.

NOTE:The following selected menus appear on the FAP T1

Display and the OSD (On Screen Display)

CHANNEL TRIM

Channel Trim allows you to fine tune the channel levels to compensate for various soundtrack anomalies. For example, you may play a movie and find that the center (dialogue) channel is weak, making the movie hard to follow. Simply trimming the Center channel up a dB or two can fix the problem. Or another film may have substantially more bass than normal and trimming the Subwoofer channel down a dB or two may help balance the sound correctly.

This function can be accessed in two ways. You can press the TRIM button on the front panel or the remote control, or you can access this feature through the Main Menu. The Channel Trim menu is shown below.

Set the levels for the channel(s) up or down by the amount you normally trim them.

THEATER COMPENSATION

Theater Compensation provides special equalization within any of the selected DSP modes. Most theatrical soundtracks are mixed on large dubbing stages for playback in large movie theaters. When these are played back in your home, they may appear to have too much treble, sounding harsh and "bright." Theater Compensation modifies the audio signal to reduce these characteristics and make the soundtrack reproduction more natural sounding.

Theater Compensation can be accessed from the Main Menu or the +10 (Hi-EQ) button on the remote.

When using these modes the addition of Theater Compensation may cause excessive reduction of the upper frequencies. However, you may wish to experiment with different soundtracks to find what sounds best to you.

IMPORTANT:Theater Compensation is not recommended for Music

modes, as the equalization added is not normally needed.

MULTICHANNEL SOURCE PLAYBACK

Access to a 5.1 channel source connected to the Multichannel Inputs is accomplished by using the 6 Channel Direct mode. Examples of a 5.1 channel source would be a DVD-A or SACD multi-channel player.

Analog Bass Management

The FAP T1 provides Analog Bass Management when 6 Channel Direct is selected. This function, which only applies to a source connected to the Multi-channel inputs, is controlled via a small toggle switch on the rear panel of the

FAP T1.

If the switch is set in the Bypass-Down position, no crossover filtering occurs, providing the full bandwidth signal, including all bass information, to the speakers. Also no information below 80Hz is sent to the subwoofer output.

If the switch is set in the OFF-Center position, no crossover filtering occurs, providing the full bandwidth signal, including all bass information, to the speakers. However, all information below 80Hz is still summed and sent to the subwoofer output.

When the switch is in the On-Up position, the Analog Bass Management function is On, and the unit will provide an 80Hz crossover for the Left, Center, Right, Left Surround and Right Surround loudspeakers. Bass below 80Hz from all these channels will be sent into the subwoofer (.1) channel.

NOTE: Since in the Off position bass information is not removed

from the speakers outputs, it is recommended that, unless you are absolutely sure your loudspeakers can handle the low frequency information, or that this function is supplied within your DVD player, you leave this switch in the Up/On position.

Once you have connected a component to the Multichannel inputs and set the Analog Bass Management, you should never have to change it, unless you get different speakers or a player that includes its own bass management.

Care & Maintenance

Troubleshooting

Cleaning

When the unit becomes dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft, dry cloth. If necessary, first wipe the surface with a soft cloth 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 home theater system for an extended period of time, it is always a good idea to turn the unit off using the Power Switch on the rear panel of the

FAP T1. This will prevent the automatic turn on circuits from accidentally turning the system on during your absence.

Troubleshooting

Your new FAP T1 is designed to provide years of trouble free operation. However, the complexity of today's sophisticated home theater systems means that you might encounter an occasional problem with your system involving the

FAP T1. Listed below are some of the more common issues you could encounter. For additional hints on using the

FAP T1 or resolving problems we

suggest that you look at the

FAP T1 section of our website at www.fosgateaudionics.com. If your problem persists, please contact us via e-mail at support@fosgateaudionics.com, or call us at 866-888-4404.

System Reset

In rare cases the FAP T1's internal processor may freeze or lock-up causing abnormal operation. This is common to all micro-processor 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 mis problem by simply unplugging the

FAP T1 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 on the chart provided at the end of this manual so that it is easy to restore them after resetting the processor.

To reset the unit, locate the reset button to the left side of the volume knob, in the space between the volume knob and front casing. With the unit on, use a toothpick or unfolded paper clip to gently press the button. Hold the button for a second and then release it. This should reset the system.

If the manual reset does not solve the problem, contact Fosgate Audionics for further advice.
