Balance

Balance allows you to increase the volume of one

channel (left or right) relative to the other. Altering

the balance may help to restore the stereo image for

an off-centre listening position.

Bass

This setting boosts the lower frequency components

of your music. If your music is not ‘warm’ enough,

increase this setting; if your music is ‘boomy’,

decreasing this setting may help. See also ‘Bass

correction’, below.

Treble

This setting changes the relative volume of the higher

frequency components of your music. If you feel that

percussion items in the music (for example) are being

lost, increasing this setting may help. If high frequency

sounds are too dominant, decrease this setting.

Bass Correction

This setting should normally be left on minimum.

Bass correction may be used if Solo Movie 5.1 is

connected to limited-frequency-range (‘Small’)

speakers, that cannot reproduce very low frequency

sounds. Increasing this setting progressively increases

very low frequency bass. This control should not be

used at high volumes as it may damage your speakers.

Sub Level *

This adjusts the level of the SUB (subwoofer, or LFE

speaker) pre-amp output relative to the other ﬁve

channels. Sub level does not apply to headphone

output.

Decoding Mode *

This cycles through the high quality decoding methods

available on Solo Movie 5.1

The decoding mode is remembered separately for

each input source (including separate modes for DVD

and CD discs).

Dolby Pro Logic II decoding is designed to produce a

5-channel analogue output from two-channel source

material.

Due to the different recording methods used

for movies and music, it is recommended that the

correct decoding mode for your source material is

used to obtain the best results.

Note that Decoding Mode does not apply to

headphone output.

Choose the decoding method for the stereo source

selected from the options below:

Off Stereo with crossover to subwoofer (if ‘Small’

front speakers are selected in the Set-up

menu).

Dolby PLII

Movie

Movie mode should be used with material

marked as ‘Dolby Surround’ encoded.

Dolby PLII

Music

Music mode is for use with any stereo music

recording. As the optimum decoding method

varies according to the recording, Music mode

allows user adjustment of the processing

characteristics; information about adjusting

the Music mode by using ‘Dimension’, ‘Centre

Width’ and ‘Panorama’ controls can be found

below.

Dolby PLII

Matrix

The Matrix mode is the same as the

Music mode except that the directional

enhancement logic is turned off. Matrix mode

may be used to enhance mono signals by

making them seem ‘larger’.

Dolby

Pro Logic

Dolby Pro Logic decoding is performed. Dolby

Pro Logic decoding is a legacy mode, and we

recommend using one of the Dolby Pro Logic

II decoding options instead.

Stereo

Direct

By-passes all digital processing for analogue

inputs. (This option is not suitable for use with

‘Small’ speakers, as bass will not be redirected

to a subwoofer.)

Dimension *

(This setting can be adjusted only when Dolby Pro

Logic II Music mode is selected.)

‘Dimension’ allows you to adjust gradually the sound

ﬁeld either towards the front or towards the rear.

If a recording is too spacious or strong from the

surrounds, it can be adjusted ‘forward’ to get a better

balance. Likewise, if a stereo recording is somewhat

too ‘narrow’ sounding, it can be adjusted toward the

rear to get a more enveloping, immersive result. We

recommend ‘Dimension’ is set to 0 for normal use.

Centre Width *

(This setting can be adjusted only when Dolby Pro

Logic II Music mode is selected.)

With Dolby Pro Logic II decoding, dominant centre

signals come only from the centre speaker. If no

centre speaker is present, the decoder splits the

centre signal equally to the left and right speakers to

create a ‘phantom’ centre image. The Centre Width

control allows variable adjustment of the centre image

so it may be heard only from the centre speaker; only

from the left/right speakers as a phantom image; or

from all three front speakers to varying degrees. We

recommend ‘Centre Width’ is set to 3 for normal use.

Panorama Mode *

(This setting can be adjusted only when Dolby Pro

Logic II Music mode is selected.)

Extends the front centre image to include the

surround speakers for an exciting ‘wrap-around’ effect

with side wall imaging.

Sleep Timer

This timer allows you to specify a listening period,

after which Solo Movie 5.1 will switch automatically

into stand-by. The period can be set in 5-minute

intervals, up to 120 minutes (2 hours).

iPod Option

(This menu item is shown only when the selected

source is AUX.)

The default setting is ‘Disabled’, but if you intend

to use Arcam’s rDock or rLead accessories to

integrate an iPod

with your system, you should

set the appropriate option. Connect the rDock or

rLead to the rear of the unit (full details are given in

the quick start guides supplied with the accessory

units) and Solo Movie 5.1 will test for the presence

of a connected iPod. Solo Movie 5.1 takes over the

control and ampliﬁcation of the source, with iPod text

displayed on the front panel of the system unit.

* Items marked with an asterisk do not

appear when a headphone jack is inserted as they

do not apply to headphone listening.

FM Mode

(This menu item is shown only when the selected

source is FM.)

In some weak signal areas, it can be beneﬁcial to force

the FM tuner to mono output, as mono requires a

much lower signal strength to produce acceptable

results. If the signal strength in your area is good, leave

this as ‘stereo’.

DAB Setup

(This menu item is shown only when the selected

source is DAB.)

There are two options under this menu item – ‘Scan’

and ‘Erase settings’. Selecting ‘Scan’ causes Solo Movie

5.1 to search for new DAB stations. If any are found,

then they will be added automatically to the list of

available stations.

Scanning for new stations does not erase old stations

that are no longer transmitted – over time, or if you

change location, this may lead to you having a number

of stations in your list that cannot actually be received.

In this case, select ‘Erase settings’, then perform a new

scan; when the scan is complete, only stations that are

available currently in your area will be shown.

Set Preset

(This menu item is shown only when the selected

source is DAB, FM or AM.)

See the section ‘Setting station presets’ on page 25 for

more information.
