Operation - VINCENT SAV-C2 Manuel D'utilisation

After the "SPEAKER" key (10)(29) was pressed
several times from standard mode, you enter the
possible settings for the type and size of the spea-
kers used. Every additional pressing of the "SPEA-
KER" key (10)(29) advances to the setting for the
next speaker or group of speakers. The settings
described below for the currently selected speaker
channel can be changed using the rotating "PARA-
METER" knob (1) or the "SET" keys (30).

„LARGE" speakers are all used speakers that have
the ability to playback low bass frequencies. No
speaker („NONE") means that it is not used in the
system. If, for example, no rear surround speakers
have been installed, the required setting is „NONE".
A separate setting can not be made for the Rear
Centre channel. This channel is activated or deacti-
vated together with the right and left rear channel.

CHANNEL-VOLUME-SETTING AND CHANNEL TEST
In most cases the viewing/listening position must be
chosen in a way that the distances to the different
speakers are not equal. Additionally, efficiency of dif-
ferent speaker types varies, so that the experienced
If one of the inputs "CD/AV1", "DVD/AV2" (sound connection set to analogue) or "LINE/AV4" is
selected, the speaker differences of the surround channels, the subwoofer and the centre channel
(SL, SC, SR, SW and CE) cannot be changed.
Only the volume of those channels active in the currently selected playback mode can always be
changed. See section "Sound playback modes ("MODE" key)". For example, the relative volume of
the rear centre channel can only be adjusted in the "DIG.EX", "DTS.EX" or "PLOGII" modes.
Also, it is impossible to adjust all channels deactivated by setting them to "N" using "SPEAKER"
(10)(29).
The test sound cannot be activated for the "CD/AV1", "DVD/AV2" inputs (sound connection set to
analogue) or the "LINE/AV4" and "6.1CHANNEL" inputs. The "TEST" (26) is also impossible if the
audio playback mode was set to "STEREO".
Ensure that the volume is set to a low level. Select a
preamplifier input, for which an audio playback mode
is adjustable, which supports all speaker channels
("CD/AV1", for example, with the digital sound con-
SWCR
nection selected). Use the "MODE" key (7)(25) to

volume level at identical signal at the speaker output
can be very different. This can reduce or undo the
„surround" effect of movies. To avoid that, every spea-
ker channel is separately adjustable in volume level.
Activate the Test sound by using the "TEST" key (26)

that you mainly want to be in during audio or video
playback. A hissing sound is to be heard in sequence
