BDS Setting Up the Receiver
Video Processing: This option allows you to set the BDS receiver’s internal video
processing.
Video Mode: This setting lets you select a preset video-processing option to optimize
the picture for the current program by adjusting the brightness, contrast, color and
sharpness:
Standard: Neutral control settings.
Vivid: For video games.
Cinema: For movies and many television broadcasts.
Custom: This option lets you adjust the picture settings manually. The Brightness,
Saturation (color saturation), Hue, Contrast, Sharpness and CTI settings appear
as sliders. The default setting for each adjustment is 0. Use the Cursor Left/Right
buttons to change each setting’s value.

Audio Settings
Tone Controls: This option lets you increase or decrease the amount of bass (low
frequencies) and treble (high frequencies) in the sound. The adjustment ranges from
–10dB to +10dB, in 1dB increments.
Audio Output: This option lets you set the following items:
HDMI Audio Out: In addition to digital video signals, the BDS receiver’s HDMI connection
also carries digital audio signals.
PCM: This option outputs a two-channel downmix derived from the program’s native
audio format via the HDMI output.
Off: This option turns off the receiver’s HDMI audio output. We recommend setting
this option to “Off, so you can take full advantage of the superior audio capability
of your BDS receiver.
Dynamic Range Control: This setting makes the loud and quiet parts of a movie or music
sound closer to the same volume (a process known as compression). Compression lets
you turn up the volume so you can hear the quiet parts without the loud parts disturbing
other people. NOTE: This feature works only with Dolby Digital programs that have been
specially encoded. Three settings are available:
Off: Never applies compression. Use this setting when the volume may be as loud
as you desire.
On: Always applies compression. Use this setting when you want the volume to be as
quiet as possible without making it difficult to hear spoken dialogue.
Auto: Applies compression based on information encoded within the Dolby Digital
bitstream. The receiver will selectively apply compression only during the most
dynamic parts of the soundtrack.
Component Audio Input: This setting lets you associate one of the BDS receiver’s audio
input connections (Coaxial In, Optical In 1, Optical In 2, Aux In 1, Aux In 2) with the
Component Video Input. The audio connection you designate here will be active whenever
the Component input is selected.
Speaker Settings: This option allows you to set up the receiver to work properly with
your loudspeakers. There are three settings:
EzSet/EQ: This option makes the supplied EzSet/EQ microphone automatically detect the
capabilities of each connected loudspeaker, and optimize the BDS receiver’s performance
for your speakers. This will provide excellent results in most installations.
Manual Configuration: This option lets you manually configure the BDS receiver to work
with your speakers. Select this option if you wish to set up the receiver for your speakers
manually or if you are unable to run EzSet/EQ calibration.
With both options, the first step is to select the configuration of your speaker system:
2.0: This configuration consists of left and right main speakers but no subwoofer.
Selecting this configuration sends all of the bass to the left and right speakers, so be
sure that they are full-range and can handle deep bass.
2.1: This configuration consists of left and right main speakers, plus a subwoofer.
3.1: This configuration consists of front left, center and front right speakers, plus a
subwoofer. (This option is only available on BDS 575 and BDS 577 receivers.)
5.1: This configuration consists of front left, front right, center, surround left and
surround right speakers, plus a subwoofer. (This option is only available on BDS 575
and BDS 577 receivers.)
Speaker Package: This setting enables processing in the BDS receiver that will maximize
your system’s audio performance. If you are using one of the listed Harman Kardon
speaker packages with your BDS receiver, select its model number from the list. If you’re
not using one of the listed Harman Kardon speaker packages, select “Other.”
EZ Set/EQ:
The BDS receiver’s EZSet/EQ™ system uses the supplied EzSet/EQ microphone to
perform this important step automatically. Before beginning, be sure you have correctly
connected your speakers to the BDS receiver.
1. Plug the supplied EzSet/EQ microphone into the BDS receiver’s Headphone
connector.
