2. CONNECTIONS 2.1 VIDEO CONNECTIONS To configure inputs see section 3.6 and to configure video outputs see section 3.1. HDMI: Video is sent with audio from source components to the processor. Maximum video resolution is 1080p60. Connect MAIN HDMI output to a display with HDMI or DVI input – one with High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is required to display copy-protected material. DVD players usually enable HDCP even on home movies.
2. CONNECTIONS continued … 2.2 AUDIO CONNECTIONS Digital Audio Inputs and Outputs: Digital audio source components can be connected with a coaxial, optical, balanced, or HDMI cable. These carry 2-channel PCM, Dolby Digital, and DTS. The HDMI inputs also accept up to eight channels of PCM. Should you need audio from the HDMI output to your display, it’s 2-channel PCM. Use the HDMI inputs if your display has HDCP-compliant HDMI or DVI input, otherwise use the coaxial or optical inputs.
2. CONNECTIONS continued … Analog Audio Outputs: Balanced connection offers the highest transmission quality over long cable lengths, because it rejects noise pickup. In the processor, XLR output voltage is twice that of RCA (6 dB higher). The RCA outputs and the XLR outputs are always active – both can be used at the same time if the system requires it. Parallel outputs are provided for a second center channel speaker and/or subwoofer.
2. CONNECTIONS continued … 2.3 FM • AM ANTENNAS To connect the AM loop antenna, press the spring-loaded tabs of the AM ANTENNA connector and insert the bare ends of the two wires. Move the antenna until best reception is found. To connect the FM antenna, connect the two wires to the screw terminals of the 75-ohm to 300-ohm adapter, then connect the adapter to the FM ANTENNA connector. Move the antenna until best reception is found – this is usually a “T” formation.
2.
2. CONNECTIONS continued … Example 2: A/V Recorder to processor VCR EJECT For ZONE2, ZONE3, and REC, in most cases you must use the same input type as the output type. If MAIN uses a different input connection, all you need to do is add these connections for ZONE2, ZONE3, and REC.
2. CONNECTIONS continued … Example 3: Processor to amplifiers and subwoofer (Balanced connection shown, single-ended is similar) Trigger Setup Suggestion: If it is not necessary to have both amplifiers turned on when stereo sources are playing, set triggers to turn on only the 2-channel amplifier when a stereo source is selected (see section 3.11).
3. SETUP For optimum performance and enjoyment, your processor should be properly set up. This may appear like a lot of work but keep in mind that most settings do not need to be changed from the factory ones. The most important things are entering information about your display and speakers if the defaults do not apply, the distance from each speaker to the listening area, balancing output levels to one another, and input connections.
3. SETUP continued … SETTING UP THE PROCESSOR Upon entering the setup menu your display will show the menu below. Only 8 menu items can be displayed at once – for clarity this manual shows each menu with all its items. On-screen display is recommended although the front panel shows similar information, one item at a time. If the default video output settings do not work with your display, use the front panel display to set video output.
3. SETUP continued … Video Output Configurations: The Statement D2v allows you to set four video output configurations – only Configuration 1 is needed in most cases. The rest can be used to match the output refresh rate to source refresh rates, i.e. 1080p24, 1080p50, and 1080p60 if your display accepts these rates, or with a secondary display that needs different settings – only one display can be used at a time in this case. Output assignment by source is explained in section 3.
3. SETUP continued … How should I set my video sources to get the most out of video processing? Where possible disable video processing in your sources so the Statement D2v’s advanced processing can be used to its potential. For standard DVD, set the player’s output to 480i/576i because if output is progressive you will be looking at the player’s deinterlacing, not the Statement D2v’s. If the player does not allow 480i/576i HDMI output, using 480i/576i component video output may be best.
3. SETUP continued … Output Resolution: Input from S-Video, Component, and HDMI is scaled to this resolution for Component and HDMI output. If interlaced to progressive scan conversion is in effect, it is uncompromisingly pixel-adaptive even with 1080i, and the same robust film mode detection applies as with standard-definition interlaced input.
3. SETUP continued … Letterbox: When the source’s aspect ratio (the proportion of image width to height) does not match the display’s aspect ratio and you want to preserve the original image’s proportions, the unused areas of the screen will be blank. You can select the shade of these areas from ten levels between light gray and black. If you do not want letterbox (bars on top/bottom) or pillarbox (sidebars) on your screen, see section 4.11.
3. SETUP continued … 3.2 SET TIME / TIMERS The time and day, plus 6 different timers are set in this menu. The timers in the processor are like an alarm clock, but allow two different timer settings for each of MAIN, ZONE2, and ZONE3. 2. SET TIME / TIMERS a. b. c. d. e. f. g. FORMAT: 12 Hr TIME: 12:00 AM DAY: Sunday ALL TIMERS: Disabled SET MAIN TIMERS SET ZONE2 TIMERS SET ZONE3 TIMERS To set Time and Day: • Enter the setup menu. Go to SET TIME / TIMERS and press SELECT.
3. SETUP continued … Timer Options: There are two Timers for Main and each Zone to allow greater flexibility. You can set week and weekend on/off times twice – once for the morning and again for the evening, for example. Using the 34 buttons, TIMER 1 and TIMER 2 choices are: • Off – Timer is disabled. • Week – Timer operates from Monday to Friday. • Wkend – Timer operates on Saturday and Sunday. • Wk+Wkend – Timer operates every day.
3. SETUP continued … Example 1: Select a source for the ZONE2 Timer: • Enter the setup menu. Go to SET TIME / TIMERS and press SELECT. • Press the 6 button until you reach SET ZONE2 TIMERS. • Press SELECT. The SET ZONE2 TIMERS submenu will appear. • Press the 6 button until you reach SOURCE. • Use the 34 buttons to change to desired source. • Press BACK to leave this submenu and return to the SET TIME/TIMERS menu.
3. SETUP continued … 3.3 SPEAKER CONFIGURATION The Speaker Configuration Setup allows you to enter information about your speakers so that sounds from sources are not lost or distorted. 3.

SUB PHASE: -- Deg o. BYPASS LFE XOVER: -Skip items a. to l. if using Anthem Room Correction on all sources.
3. SETUP continued … Bass response highly depends on room acoustics and experimentation with subwoofer placement is recommended. Start by temporarily placing the subwoofer in the listening area, play some music with a range of bass and walk around the room. Positions where the bass range sounds smooth are suitable for permanent subwoofer placement as long as decor allows.
3. SETUP continued … Highlighting ROOM RESONANCE FILTER then pressing SELECT displays this menu: R ROOM RESONANCE RESONANCE FILTER RESULT 3h.ROOM RESONANCE FILTER a. TEST TONE: Off b.

3. SETUP continued … Procedure for adjusting Room Resonance Filter: • Enter the setup menu. Go to SPEAKER CONFIGURATION and press SELECT. • Press the 6 button until you reach ROOM RESONANCE FILTER and press SELECT. • Use the 34 buttons to set TEST TONE to Auto. Press SELECT to start automatic sweeping of the test tones. Alternatively, you can set TEST TONE to Manual – to vary the frequency, press the 56 buttons to reach TEST FREQ, then use the 34 buttons to change frequency.
3. SETUP continued … 3.4 LISTENER POSITION The Listener Position menu lets you enter the distance between each speaker and the listening area. Ideally, speakers should be placed at an equal distance so their sound arrives at the listening area at the same time, but since this is rarely practical, the processor can delay the sound coming from speakers that are closer to the listener. This way, sound reaches the listening area at the same time from all speakers, and proper imaging can be achieved.
3. SETUP continued … 3.5 LEVEL CALIBRATION Level Calibration uses internal test noises to match speaker output levels at the listening position. These noises are also a way of checking system connections between processor, amplifier, and speaker. Audio calibrations from home theater setup discs are not recommended – some use incorrect methods. A sound pressure level (SPL) meter with C-weighting is recommended if not using ARC.
3. SETUP continued … If SUBS is set to Super in BASS MANAGEMENT-MOVIE (not advised) or BASS MANAGEMENT-MUSIC, do not rely on an SPL meter to set subwoofer level – set it by ear while playing various sources. Level Calibration cannot take into account the bass that’s added to the subwoofer from speakers set to Large, which results in more bass during playback than the calibrated level. If using multiple subwoofers they must be balanced to one another.
3. SETUP continued … 3.6 SOURCE SETUP This is where you set up each source and path according to how you want them to be used. 6. a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h. i. j. k. l. m. n. o. p. q. r. s. t.

3. SETUP continued … Scaler Input (MAIN only): Assign which input is used by the video processor when the source is selected – any HDMI, Component video, S-Video input, or “None”. Before setting this, be sure that you have read section 2.1. Note that if S-Video is selected, the input connection is the one specified in S-VIDEO IN. To increase seeking speed for the seek function in section 4.4, set this to None if the source does not use video processing.
3. SETUP continued … EQ (MAIN only): For sources set to Digital or Anlg-DSP, you can preset low and high frequency levels. This is useful for source components that have frequency irregularities. After highlighting the EQ line, press SELECT and use the 34 buttons to select LF (low frequency) or HF (high frequency), then use the 56 buttons to adjust. In the FM/AM Setup/Presets menu, FM and AM can be adjusted separately.
3. SETUP continued … 3.7 MODE PRESETS Mode and THX presets are applied when the source is selected or MAIN is turned on. Each input format except mono and Anlg-Dir has a setting. If you do not want to use presets, set them to Last Used. After selecting a source in the MODE PRESETS root menu, a menu such as the DVD1 example below appears. Use the 56 buttons to highlight an input format then use the 34 buttons to select. For descriptions of surround modes and when they can be applied refer to section 4.8.
3. SETUP continued … 3.8 ANALOG INPUT LEVELS For sources set to Anlg-DSP or Anlg-Dir in under Source Setup, you can match input levels in MAIN to each other so there are no large changes in volume as you change sources. This is also where recording level is set when using the processor as an analog-to-digital converter (see sections 3.6, 3.9, and 4.3). 8.

3. SETUP continued … 3.11 TRIGGERS / IR / RS232 When a trigger output on the processor is connected to the trigger input of another component, such as an amplifier or projector, the processor can turn it on or off according to the trigger’s Setup. For components that do not have trigger inputs, a triggerable power bar may work (see your dealer). Three 12 volt trigger outputs are provided – Trigger1 and Trigger2 each have maximum current output of 50 mA and Trigger3 has maximum current output of 200 mA.
3. SETUP continued … After highlighting Power or a source, press SELECT and use the 34 buttons to move from one path to another. To set the condition, use the 56 buttons to change the “–” to a “*”. Don’t forget: In the root menu you have to set ALL TRIGGERS to Enabled for the triggers to work. Changes to the trigger setup do not take effect until exiting from the setup menu, to avoid unnecessary rapid turning off and on of triggers while making changes.
3. SETUP continued … 3.12 DISPLAYS / TIMEOUT This menu allows you to configure on-screen display, front panel display, and selection time. 12. DISPLAYS / TIMEOUT a. MAIN OS OUT: S-V + HD b.MAIN OS INFO:All Zones c.MAIN OS POS'N: Bottom d.MAIN OS COLOR: Blue e.MAIN VID MUTE: Gray f. Z2 OS OUT: S-V Only g. Z2 OS INFO: Z2 Only h. Z2 OS POS'N: Bottom i.

3. SETUP continued … Front Panel Wake-Up: If Display is set to Medium, Low, or Off, it can be made to change to a brighter level while you make any adjustment – choose None, Up 1 brightness level, or Hi. When None is chosen and the Display is Off, it will behave as if set to Up 1 to prevent confusion as to whether the power is on or off. Example: Disable the front panel wakeup. • Enter the setup menu. Go to DISPLAYS/TIMEOUT and press SELECT. • Press the 6 button until you reach FP WAKE-UP.
3. SETUP continued … 3.13 SAVE / LOAD SETTINGS Two memories can back up menu settings. If your system was set up by your dealer, the settings may be saved in Installer memory. You can make further adjustments – save those settings in User memory. Video processor settings (section 4.11) and FM • AM presets are also saved. 13. SAVE / LOAD SETTINGS a. b. c. d. e.
3. SETUP continued … 3.14 LOCKOUT / PASSWORDS Passwords are used to protect the saved User and Installer settings. Once you have set a password, it can also be used as a Lockout to prevent settings from being changed by anyone without one of the passwords. 14. LOCKOUT / PASSWORDS a. LOCK SETTINGS b. SET USER PASSWORD c. SET INSTALLER PASSW'D Lock Settings: When set to Yes, entry to the setup menu is prevented unless the password is entered first.
3. SETUP continued … 3.15 ARC-1 ANTHEM ROOM CORRECTION ARC-1 corrects the effects of reflective surfaces and room boundaries on sound quality by measuring the response of each speaker relative to the listening area and equalizing it. ARC equalizes response without stressing the amplifier or speakers and does not downsample the source material to process it.
3. SETUP continued … Before starting: • Ensure that the processor software and ARC software that you will be using are compatible with one another – check www.anthemAV.com for latest versions. Processor software installation instructions are in section 6. • Your ARC-1 microphone, its support files, and your processor are a system with matching serial numbers – substitutions are not possible. Before a mic can be used for measurement, its response must be known.
3. SETUP continued … ARC software installation: Play the ARC CD in your computer’s CD or DVD drive. Instructions will appear on your screen. If your computer does not allow a CD to auto-run then double-click on the My Computer icon that’s on Desktop, select the drive that the CD is in to view its contents, and double-click on setup.exe. The installation will put several files into an Anthem folder on your computer and create shortcuts on your Start Menu and Desktop.
3. SETUP continued … Advanced: A file created in Standard mode can be opened in Advanced mode to change correction range and room gain. To do this, change Targets then click on Calculate, then Upload. Since rooms and systems vary the only advice that Anthem technical support can provide without being at your house to hear your system is to use the auto-detected settings. The alternative is trial and error.
4. OPERATION 4.1 POWER ON/OFF The processor comes on at the volume setting in the Volumes setup menu. The power amplifier should be turned on last and off first to prevent “popping” when upstream components are turned on and off. Front Panel – Main on • Press MAIN in the POWER or the PATH group.
