Speaker set-up

This menu screen allows you to specify the speaker

conﬁguration that is connected to the analogue

outputs of your Solo Movie 5.1. It is important that this

conﬁguration reﬂects accurately the actual situation,

otherwise audio quality may be severely compromised.

For each speaker, the player can be conﬁgured to

send either audio with the full frequency range of the

source material (‘Large’ speakers), or with a reduced

frequency range (‘Small’ speakers). Low frequency

information is re-routed from ‘Small’ speakers to

‘Large’ speakers, or to the subwoofer (depending on

the speaker conﬁguration).

The speakers are conﬁgured as follows:

Front L/R Set the Front speakers as ‘Large’ or ‘Small’.

Centre Set the Centre speaker as ‘Large’, ‘Small’ or

‘None’.

Surround

L/R

Set the ‘Surround’ speakers (normally next to

or behind the user) as ‘Large’, ‘Small’ or ‘None’.

Subwoofer Used to indicate whether an active subwoofer

is connected (‘None’ or ‘Present’).

Sub with stereo

This setting is relevant to two-channel source material

only (such as CDs). It controls whether the low

frequency information is redirected to the subwoofer,

or not. This item can be changed only if a subwoofer is

speciﬁed as present in the system and Front Left and

Right speakers are set to ‘Large’.

Off No redirection of low-frequency information

occurs; all the audio is sent to the Front

speakers.

Bass

redirected

Low-frequency information is redirected to

the subwoofer, with the remaining (higher-

frequency) information sent to the Front

speakers.

Bass

duplicated

All the audio is sent to the Front speakers.

In addition, the low-frequency information is

duplicated to the subwoofer.

Crossover frequency (Hz)

This setting deﬁnes the frequency at which bass-

redirection begins. Frequencies below this level are

redirected from ‘small’ speakers to the Fronts or to

the subwoofer; frequencies above this level are not

redirected. The redirection frequency is the same for

all the speakers in a system.

The optimum crossover frequency depends on the

characteristics of your speaker set-up, and is best

determined by experimentation. We suggest you start

at 100Hz.

Powered surround conﬁguration

This setting informs the system which of the surround

speakers are ‘active’ (i.e. driven by auxiliary ampliﬁers)

and determines which signal is sent to the Surround

Left and Right outputs.

Front L/R Send the Front Left and Right audio signals to

the surround amplifier.

Surround

L/R

Send the Surround Left and Right audio

signals to the surround amplifier. This is the

default setting.

Zone 2

L/R

Send the Zone 2 audio signal to the surround

amplifier.

Delay set-up

The delay set-up menu page allows two different

types of delay to be conﬁgured: those due to speaker

positioning and those due to video post-processing.

Delay settings only apply to DVD sources.

Measurement Units

Before entering any values, choose the measurement

units that you feel most comfortable with: centimetres

(0.01m) or inches.

Speaker positioning

The relative positioning of speakers within a room

(particularly a large room) may mean that sound from

some speakers arrives at the listener later than sound

from others. By altering the delay settings for the

different speakers, this difference in arrival time (very

approximately 1ms per extra foot; 3ms per extra

metre) can be reduced or eliminated.

When setting the delay, it should be imagined that the

listener is sitting in a circle of the speakers (see page

9); the delay indicates the distance of the speaker

from the listener.

Delays

Delays for the front, centre and surround speakers

can be set using the associated sliders, in steps of

5 centimetres or 2 inches. Specifying the different

speaker distances will cause a slight delay to be added

to the output of the closest speakers so that the

sound from all the speakers arrives at the listener at

the same time.

Note that these delay sliders affect only the analogue

outputs: the SPDIF digital audio output is never

affected by changes here. If you are using the SPDIF

connection between Solo Movie 5.1 and your

receiver, set all of the delays to zero.

Lipsync delay (milliseconds)

Modern displays and video scalers often employ

digital video processing that can introduce a signiﬁcant

video delay. ‘Lipsync’ delay allows correction of this

effect by delaying the audio soundtrack in steps

of 10ms up to 150ms. The amount of correction

required in a given system is best determined by

experimentation.

If the interlaced video outputs of Solo Movie

5.1 are in use and the display is converting the

signal to progressive scan then we recommend

a delay of 50–80ms, depending upon the display.

If the progressive video output of Solo Movie

5.1 is in use, the player corrects automatically

for its own processing delays and it is unlikely

that additional delay will be necessary.

Therefore, start by setting these items to 0ms

(no delay).

Although Solo Movie 5.1 is very ﬂexible in

the speaker conﬁgurations it can handle, some

restrictions have been applied. For example, if

no subwoofer is present, then it is not possible

to conﬁgure the Front speakers to be ‘Small’

since there would be nowhere to redirect the low

frequency information.

If no subwoofer is present, Solo Movie 5.1

automatically turns on Audio compression to

prevent digital clipping in the signal processing.
