1. Voltage Triggers, Reset Switch and Ethernet - The two 12 volt triggers present at this section of the back panel supply a maximum current of

100 mA, and can be used to trigger an external amplifier, or can also beused to trigger the use of an anamorphic lens on a projector. These jacks are both 3.5 mm mono style female mini jacks. The pin is positive(+), and the sleeve is ground.

Each of the 12V DC triggers may be set to 12V DC when a particular input is selected. For example, Trigger #1 may be set to output 12V DC when

Input 8 is selected. When another input besides Input 8 is selected, Trigger

#1 will go to 0V DC.

The Ethernet port is a 10/100 Base Ethernet port, that allows receiving and sending multicast audio streams when used with a DMS/SNP URC Multi zone system, and also used for command and control when used with an

MRX-10/MRX-12 (or similar) URC Advanced System Controller.

Pressing the RESET button will return the DMS-AV to its factory default state.

2. Optical and Coaxial Digital S/PDIF Inputs/Output - By default, the optical and coaxial S/PDIF audio inputs are not assigned to any composite, component or HDMI video input. The optical and coaxial S/PDIF inputs require assignment to a video input (via the on-screen display, or the URC

Accelerator PC application).

Any of the optical/coaxial S/PDIF inputs can be assigned to any numbered video input (Composite, Component or HDMI). The optical/coaxial S/PDIF inputs cannot be assigned to Input Phono or Input Multi Cast Stream, since those inputs are “Audio Only” inputs.

The optical digital output shall provide a S/PDIF digital output of any selected optical input signal. This digital output is for use with a digital recording device.

3. Remote Infrared Input - The Infrared Input port allows for easy integration with an RF(radio frequency) to IR (infrared) style base station, such as the URC MRF-350 or MRF-260. This port provides the ability to perform simple one-way control of the DMS-AV with a URC legacy-style infrared remote control, such as a MX-900,

MX-980 or MX-880, among others. Use of this port with RF based remote controls allows for “stand alone” operation of the DMS-AV, that is, use of the DMS-AV without an MRX-10/MRX-12 or similar external URC Advanced System Controller.

This is a 3.5 mm mono style female mini jack input, with the tip being positive(+), and the sleeve being ground.

4. HDMI Inputs/Output - The DMS-AV supports six HDMI connections; five are used for signal input, while one supports HDMI signal output.

The DMS-AV supports a single HDMI video output. All video signals sent to the

DMS-AV via composite, component, HDMI, or generated by the internal on-screen display output via the HDMI OUT connector.

The HDMI Technology within the DMS-AV supports all versions of HDMI, which means it is compatible with the following formats: sRGB

YCbCr

Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD Video and Audio at Full Resolutionn

DMS-AV H OME T HEATER A MPLIFIER

8. Component Video Inputs/Output - The DMS-AV has three component video connections. Two of these connections are inputs, while the third connection acts as a video output (in case HDMI is not used).

The component video inputs accept a maximum input resolution of 1080i/60Hz.

The component video output supports a maximum output resolution of

1080i/60Hz. Composite and HDMI video are not converted and will not output via the component video. The on-screen display is not viewable via the component video output as it only works with HDMI.

9. Setup Microphone Input - This jack allows the connection of an external microphone for automated setup of the DMS-AV speakers, in regards to crossovers, audio levels, and equalization. This is a 3.5 mm mono style female mini jack, tip being positive(+), and sleeve being ground. A setup microphone is provided.

10. Record Output – This output is an analog left/right line level signal of the currently selected analog audio input. Only analog audio input signals are output via this connection. Volume control settings do not effect the record output. This stereo pair of analog RCA outputs are for use with an analog recording device.

11. Preamplifier Outputs – The DMS-AV supports nine preamplifier audio outputs. In addition to the standard “7.1” audio outputs, including front, center, surround and subwoofer channels, the DMS-AV shall also support a second subwoofer output channel. These surround outputs are designed for driving external power amplifiers or powered speakers.

12. Speaker Outputs - The DMS-AV provides seven amplifier channels for surround sound reproduction, rated at 125 watts per channel into an 8 ohm speaker load

Within the on-screen display or the URC Accelerator Application, set your DMS-

AV to use "Surround Back" amplifier channels or "Front Height" amplifier channels. Surround back speakers and front height speakers cannot be powered simultaneously.

The output connectors are industry standard high-current binding posts.

Bare speaker wire may be secured within the screw-type binding posts, or banana plugs may be inserted into the center of the binding posts.

The processed audio present at the binding post connectors (speaker connections) contains the same processing as the audio present at the preamplifier stage. As an example, if a crossover is applied to the front left and right preamplifier channels, the same crossover settings are applied to the front left and right speaker outputs, only amplified.

13. AC Receptacle - For attaching the supplied high current AC power cord to the unit.

Quick Start Considerations

Your URC receiver is pre-programmed for ease of operation, right out of the box. In general, there is minimal setup required to start using your new

DMS-AV Network Home Theater Processor.

To quickly setup and begin operating your receiver, follow these steps:

1. Start with all AC power cords unplugged from their designated AC outlet.

2. From each source device, connect the A/V cables which could include composite, component, or HDMI cables.

3. Connect the speaker cables from the receiver’s speaker outputs to the appropriate speakers.

4. Connect the appropriate video cables from the receiver’s video outputs to the video monitor’s input(s).

5. Connect an Ethernet cable from the DMS-AV to local network router.

6. Plug the AC power cords for the DMS-AV and all connected sources into their designated AC outlets.

7. Power On the DMS-AV. Bring the DMS-AV out of “standby” mode, via the front panel “standby” button.

8. Power On all source components.

9. On a computer connected to the same network as the DMS-AV, launch the

DMS System Toolbox application.

10. In the unit discovery window, select the Network Scan button. Select the

DMS-AV Home Theater Amplifier.

11. In the DMS System Toolbox application, select any of the connected source components. Verify proper operation of the DMS-AV and the source components.

The rest of this manual will give further insight into the many aspects of your new receiver. Some additional installation considerations should be noted as follows:

• It is important that your electronic equipment be located where there is proper ventilation. Failure to ventilate your receiver could result in erratic operation and possible failure caused by overheating. A minimum of 0.3m

should be maintained above the receiver. Do not place items directly on top of the receiver. Do not place flammable items on, around or near the A/V equipment (curtains, paper, etc.).

• URC provides a software program, URC Accelerator, that aids in the setup process of the DMS-AV. Contact your URC Representative to acquire this PC

Application. URC Accelerator is easy to use and is intended to simplify the setup process of your new URC Network Home Theater Processor and all user interfaces.

• Configure a system diagram of all components that are to be connected into the system. The receiver has a total of eleven Audio and Video inputs, and 1

Phono input. The back panel is labeled IN 1, IN 2, IN 3, IN 4, IN 5, IN 6,

Phono, IN 7, IN 8, IN 9, IN 10, IN 11 for component video /analog audio sources, Phono for the phono source, and HDMI sources.

The optical digital and coax digital inputs are labeled IN A, IN B, IN C and

IN D respectively, and can be assigned to any of the composite, component and HDMI Video inputs. By default, the optical and coax digital inputs are not assigned to any video input. Use the on-screen display or the URC Accelerator application to assign an optical or coax digital input to any video input.

The source names by default are set to IN 1, IN 2, IN 3 etc...The inputs may be renamed in the on-screen display, or in the URC Accelerator application to reflect the desired source name. For example, the name IN 9 may be changed to “Blu-Ray. The renamed source input name will appear on the DMS-AV’s OSD

(on-screen display).

• Determine the type of cable that is needed for each connection. Keep in mind that the quality of the cabling that is used may make a difference in the overall audio and video quality. Try to keep interconnecting cable runs as short as possible. When routing cables between equipment, be sure to keep

AC cables separate from audio cables. It is a good idea to bundle like cables together to keep interference (noise) to a minimum.

• It is a good idea to label each cable with a name or number at both ends, when allocating each cable. Have all the cables you need before you begin the installation because it is inconvenient to run to the store when you are excited to hear what the system will sound like.

• Plan enough cable length and space to allow future access to the back panel.

• For best performance it is recommended that a dedicated AC power line or supply be used. If the equipment is installed in a rack, be sure to insulate the equipment from the rack itself.

CEC Control

The DMS-AV has the ability to execute Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) to a monitor or projector that is connected by HDMI, and is CEC Capable.

Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) is a feature designed to allow the user to command and control two or more CEC-enabled boxes, that are connected through HDMI, by using only one of their remote controls. (i.e. controlling a television set, set-top box and DVD player using only the remote control of the

TV). CEC also allows for individual CEC-enabled devices to command and control each other without user intervention.

CEC options for the DMS-AV are the following:

• On (Power On)

• On (Always)

• Off

The default CEC setting for the DMS-AV is Off.

Consult your individual display monitor or projector manual for specific information regarding their CEC compatibility.

Video PReP®

Progressive Re-Processing (PReP®) is the industry’s first technology designed specifically to improve progressive video signals by removing the artifacts causedby inferior interlaced-to-progressive conversion. Video signals that originate inthe interlaced format used by most broadcasters often suffer degradation whenthe signal is converted to the progressive format required by digital displays. Ifthis process is not done well, it results in artifacts which will be amplified duringscaling or other processing such as detail enhancement. The patent-pending PReP technology addresses this problem be reverting the progressive video signal to its original interlaced format so that it can be reconverted to progressiveusing a higher-quality deinterlacer.

The DMS-AV has two available options for PReP – Auto and Off. By default,

PReP is set to Off. This value can be set in the on-screen menu or the URC

Accelerator Application, in the Video Adjust section.

Video Test Patterns

The DMS-AV firmware includes eight video test patterns used to calibrate a video display device. Typically, an external video test pattern generator is required for professional display device setup. The DMS-AV provides access to these patterns within the on-screen display, and also accessible via the

URC Accelerator Application.

The video test patterns available are:

Frame Geometry

‘Frame/Geometry’ test pattern is used to verify that the image is positioned correctly on your display.

Bright/Contrast

The ‘Brightness/Contrast’ test pattern will assist you in setting up both the brightness (black level) and contrast (white level) of your display. The

‘Brightness/Contrast’ test pattern is composed of 4 quarter-screen blocks.

Two of the blocks have a background level of standard black and the other two blocks have a background level of standard white.

Embedded in the black blocks are 3 bars. One is 4 IRE below black

(blacker-than-black), one is 1 IRE above black, and the third is 2 IRE above black. Embedded in the white blocks are 3 bars. One is 1 IRE above white

(whiter-then-white), one is 1 IRE below white, and the third is 2 IRE below white. The bottom two blocks differ slightly from these levels. For the bottom two blocks, the blacker-than-black is at the lowest possible luma level and the whiter-than-white bar is at the highest possible luma level.

Page 29

DMS-AV H

OME

T

HEATER

A

MPLIFIER

When the brightness and contrast are adjusted correctly, you should be able to see the 1 IRE and 2 IRE above black bars on the black background and the 1

IRE and 2 IRE below white bars should be visible on the white background.

When the brightness is adjusted correctly, black objects should appear ‘black’ with the details still intact and lighter areas should be ‘light’, not gray, with the details still intact. When the contrast is adjusted correctly, white objects will appear ‘white’ with the details still intact. Because the contrast settings can affect brightness settings we recommend that you check the brightness setting after making this adjustment.

Checker board

When the Checkerboard test pattern is displayed correctly, close up you should be able to see a 1- pixel checkerboard and at proper viewing distance the image should appear as an even gray. If your display is CRT-based you will not see this checkerboard, but your screen should be an even gray. When this test pattern is displayed incorrectly, the resulting image does not look like a fine checkerboard and may have irregular patterns. If this is the case then the chosen output resolution may not be the native resolution of your display or your display may scale all input signals even if the input resolution is already at native resolution. Check to make sure that the output resolution selected on the

DMS-AV is the correct output resolution for your display.

Vertical Lines

The ‘Vertical Lines’ test pattern should appear as one pixel wide black and white columns. If you see any irregular pattern(s) in the image then you know that the display is scaling the signal horizontally.

Horizontal Lines

The ‘Horizontal Lines’ test pattern should appear as one pixel tall black and white rows. If you see any irregular pattern(s) in the image then you know that the display is scaling the signal vertically.

Judder

The ‘Judder’ test pattern displays a bar that bounces back and forth at the chosen output resolution. When this test pattern is displayed correctly, the bar will move smoothly across the screen and bounce from side to side. When this pattern is displayed incorrectly, this bar may ‘tear’ as it moves across the screen.

DMS-AV System Settings – Audio

Speaker Size/Speaker Crossover

Speaker size refers to the frequency range a speaker can handle. Audio material, particularly Dolby Digital and DTS movies, often contain large amounts of bass. If this bass information is sent to small speakers that are incapable of reproducing bass, then this information will be lost or distorted.

Too much bass may damage small speakers. By configuring the DMS-AV for the correct type of speaker crossover, all bass information will be appropriately routed to the speakers that are best able to reproduce it correctly.

Typically bookshelf or satellite speakers are considered Small. Smaller floor standing speakers with a single 8” or less woofer should also be considered

Small. Floor standing speakers with 10” or larger woofers, or multiple smaller woofers may be considered Large. These are general guidelines only if you are unsure, please consult your speaker manufacturer or dealer.

If using large speakers, the system may not require a subwoofer, however better results may still be obtained with the use of a subwoofer. Even with speakers that are capable of reproducing deep bass, better overall bass response may be obtained by setting a crossover frequency for these speakers. This allows bass to be reproducedfrom a single point (the subwoofer), and avoids the possibility of phase cancellationwhich may occur when bass is reproduced from multiple speakers simultaneously.

Front Speakers

There must be at least 2 front speakers in order to use the DMS-AV. Set the crossover frequency of the front speakers in the on-screen display or the

URC Accelerator Application, based on the guidelines described above.

Center Speaker

It is not necessary to have a center speaker. Set the Center Speaker Option in the on-screen display to Yes or No, or set this in the URC Accelerator

Application, based on the center channel availability. If set to NO the center information will be reproduced in the front left and front right speakers. No audio information is lost, however the sense of voices coming from the screen may be lost. Set the crossover frequency of the center speaker in the on-screen display or the URC Accelerator Application, based on the guidelines described above.

Surround Speakers

It is not necessary to have surround speakers. Set the Surround Speaker

Option in the on-screen display to Yes or No, or set this in the URC

Accelerator Application, based on the surround channels availability. If

Surround Speaker Option is set to NO, the surround information will be reproduced in the front left and right speakers. No information is lost but the sense of spaciousness provided by discrete 5.1 channel sound tracks or

2 channel tracks enhanced by Dolby Pro Logic IIx or DTS Neo:6 may be lost. If surround speakers are set to No, surround back speakers are not available.

Surround Back Speakers

It is not necessary to have surround back speakers. Set the Surround

Speaker Option in the on-screen display to Yes or No, or set this in the URC

Accelerator Application, based on the surround channels availability. If the surround speakers are set to none, no options will appear for the surround back speakers. There is the option to use 1 or 2 back speakers. If set to none, the back information will be reproduced in the surround speakers and although no information is lost, the sense of sounds coming from directly behind you may be lost. If surround back speakers are used, front height speakers are not available.

If front height speakers are used, surround back speakers are not available.

Subwoofer(s)

There are four choices for subwoofer. If set to No, all bass information, including LFE (.1 channel) will be routed to any speakers that are configured to pass low frequency information, as described in the setup above. If the individual speaker crossovers are not set to pass low frequency information, and no subwoofers are used in the system, the low frequency information shall be lost.

The most common setting for subwoofer is Preout 1/2, which allows for connections of two subwoofers, taking advantage of the DMS-AV’s ability to reproduce low frequency information through two subwoofers (.2).

Setting the Subwoofer to Preout 1 shall configure the DMS-AV to send low frequency information from its Sub 1 preamplifier output only.

Setting the Subwoofer to Preout 2 shall configure the DMS-AV to send low frequency information from its Sub 2 preamplifier output only.

Ideally the speakers should be positioned at an equal distance from the listening position. However, physical limitations usually require placing the speakers in other than optimum locations. The DMS-AV contains a means to electronically move each speaker’s location. This allows for superior reproduction of the directional cues available during movie or music playback. Measure the distance in feet from your listening position to each speaker. Enter this information into DMS-AV’s on-screen display, or into the

URC Accelerator Application. Default measurement units are feet, but units may be changed to meters if preferred.

Channel Level

Channel level calibration will allow the equalization of the volume levels of each speaker to make up for differences in speaker characteristics and distances from the listener to the speakers. Best results will be achieved using a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter, and an external analog tone or pink noise generator. Set the SPL Meter to C Weighting and Slow Response.

Place the meter at your listening position and adjust each speaker for an equal response (An SPL of 75 dB is recommended).

Speaker Crossover (X-Over)

This sets the frequency at which bass tones are filtered from the speaker channel selected and sent to the subwoofer(s). The crossover point is the frequency at which the amount of information in the subwoofer and main speaker(s) is equal. Set this according to the capabilities of the speakers and/or subwoofer(s). When a crossover frequency for a speaker is set, the crossover frequency and above is sent to the affected speaker, while the crossover frequency and below is sent to the subwoofer(s).

Each speaker in the system (except for the subwoofer) has a specific crossover assigned to it. Each speaker has the ability to have a unique crossover frequency set for it. While the subwoofer does not have its own unique crossover, the subwoofer low frequency content is determined by the crossover settings of all other speakers in the system. All low frequency material below the crossover frequency set point for each speaker is sent to the subwoofer(s).

LFE (Dolby/DTS)

This setting is used to increase or decrease the subwoofer level for multichannel bitstreams that contain an Low Frequency Effects channel. The subwoofer signal may need to be increased or decreased depending on the room or installation. Usually this will be set to 0 dB (default). Note that this effects only the separate LFE (.1) or subwoofer channel available on source material. There is no effect on the reproduction of normal bass from the front, center, or surround channels.

Height Gain

The Height Gain applies to the Front Height speakers. This option is available when the DMS-AV is set to use Front Height speakers. Three options are available for this setting: Low, Mid and High. The default value for this parameter within the DMS-AV is “Mid”. Change this value within the onscreen display, or in URC Accelerator under the sound adjust section.

Dolby Pro Logic II Music Setup

Three unique parameters are available to “shape” the sound of sources played through the Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode. The parameters available are:

Panorama

Panorama wraps the sound from the front left and right speakers around you, sending an image to the surround speakers for an exciting perspective.

Center Width

Center width lets you gradually spread the center-channel sound into the front left and right speakers. At its widest setting, all the sound from the center is mixed into the left and right speakers.

Dimension

Dimension control adjusts the front/surround balance to suit your listening preference.

Night Mode

When the Night Mode option is enabled the sound level of compatible digital audio soundtracks will be dynamically compressed. Dynamic range compression increases low-level audio content such as dialog, making it easier to hear at low volume levels while at the same time reducing the intensity of higher-level audio content.

Dynamic range control (Night Mode) enables you to customize audio playback to reduce peak volume levels (no loud surprises) while experiencing all the details in the soundtrack, enabling late-night viewing of high-energy surround sound without disturbing others.

Available options for night mode are: Auto, Off, Low, Medium and High, depending on the incoming bitstream type. Adjust this parameter in the

Sound Adjust section of the on-screen display, or the URC Accelerator

Application.

Automated Speaker Setup

All of the manual room correction described in the previous section can be accomplished through an automated process, within the on-screen display, or the URC Accelerator Application. Included with each DMS-AV is a setup microphone, which when connected to the DMS-AV Setup Mic input, can be used to perform an automated room correction routine. The internal

DSP of the DMS-AV shall execute a series of test tones to each speaker in the installation, which will then automatically determine each speaker level, correct speaker distance setting and crossover frequency. These settings will be automatically saved within the DMS-AV firmware, and URC

Accelerator, if applicable.

The Set up Microphone included should be the only microphone used in the automatic setup configuration.

Input Settings

Each of the 12 inputs on the DMS-AV supports parameters that allow for customization for each input and their function.

Input Rename

Each input may be renamed to better de scribe its function. The maximum amount of characters that can be used to rename an input is eight.

The input name can be set in the DMS-AV on-screen display, or within the URC Acceler ator Application.

Digital Audio Assign

(Available for all inputs except Phono) – Each input may have their audio input reassigned to any of the two optical digital or coaxial digital (S/PDIF) inputs. The two optical digital inputs are named

IN A and IN B, and the two coaxial digital inputs are named IN C and IN D. Digital audio assign options may also be used to reassign

HDMI audio, in the case that a DVI input is used, requiring the use of a separate audio input.

Analog Audio Assign

(Available for HDMI inputs only) - Analog audio assign options may also be used to reassign HDMI audio to any of the line level analog audio inputs

(IN 1through IN 6).

Video Scaling

This allows setting of a desired output resolution per input selected by the

DMS-AV. All inputs, except phono, support a discrete video output resolution mode. Also available is an “HDMI Bypass” mode, which is essentially a mode that transfers the native resolution of the selected source to the display monitor or projector, via the DMS-AV’s HDMI output.

A/V Sync

This setting allows correction for the native Lip-Sync A/V delay of the connected video monitor, and the selected source. One video frame is approximately 17 mS delay. A/V Sync allows for up to 200 mS of

A/V Sync correction. Modern HD monitors may have up to 5 frames of perceivable delay.

DC Trigger 1

This setting allows DC Trigger 1 to be set to trigger a 12V DC signal from DC Trigger 1 when a specific input is selected.

DC Trigger 2

This setting allows DC Trigger 2 to be set to trigger a 12V DC signal from DC Trigger 2 when a specific input is selected.
