Power Connections

The last setup steps are the power connections (see

Fig. 2). Plug the DC supply cord into the jack

labeled "Decoder Supply" on the subwoofer cabi-

net. Next, plug the other end into the jack labeled

"DC 7V IN" on the back of the GMX control mod-

ule. Plug the subwoofer’s power cord into a wall

outlet or AC power strip. Your GMX D-5.1 is now

ready to ru m b l e .

The Control Module

E v e rything you need to run the GMX D-5.1 is on the

face of the control module. The function and opera-

tion of each control is listed below (see Fig. 4A):

1 ) D i s p l a y. Indicates master volume setting and level

trim during setup.

2) Volume Pads. P r ess the (+) and (-) buttons to raise

or lower the volume. These buttons are also used to

adjust the levels of the speakers in the system re l a t i v e

to one another (channel balance).

3) P o w e r. Tu r ns the system on and off. The red LED

indicates standby mode.

4) I n p u t . P r essing this button selects one of the inputs.

Choosing an input will cause its indicator LED above

the button to light up.

5) S u rro u n d . P ressing this button selects one of the

available audio modes. Modes that can be used will

depend on the input and type of signal.

• Dolby Digital Signals: If you have selected one of

the digital inputs, it will automatically switch to the

a p p r opriate Dolby Digital mode when a Dolby

Digital signal is present. The Dolby Digital indicator

LED (above the Surround button) will light. Dolby

Digital modes are available only when a Dolby

Digital signal is present at the selected digital input;

no surround changes may be made to a discre t e

Dolby Digital 5.1 signal. The Surround button will be

active in Dolby Digital mode only when the signal is

two-channel stereo, as described immediately below.

• S t e reo Signals: If you have selected the analog

input or a digital input receiving a PCM signal, such

as from a CD, you have a choice of four modes:

S t e r eo, 5-Channel Stereo, Dolby Pro Logic II Cinema

and Music. The Dolby Pro Logic II modes can also

be applied to a Stereo Dolby Digital signal. Switch

modes by pressing the Surround button until you

reach the one you want, as indicated by the LEDs

above the button. Stereo is indicated when no LEDs

a r e lit.

6 ) Te s t . This button turns the channel test signal on

and off. When on, the LED above the button will light

and you will hear noise for several seconds fro m

each satellite speaker in turn. The signal will ro t a t e

f r om speaker to speaker in this fashion until you turn

it off. This signal has two uses:

• Making sure that all speakers are connected and

w o r k i n g .

• Helping you set channel balance. Because the five

satellites in the GMX D-5.1 are identical, you will usu-

ally get correct channel balance automatically. To find

out, turn the test signal on and listen; it should be

equally loud from each speaker. If not, you can use

the CTR and SURR buttons

(described below) together

with the volume pads to

adjust the level of the sur-

round speakers up or down

relative to the front left and

right.

The adjustment level trim is

f r om -9dB to +9dB, with

default settings of "0." Note:

Possible gain range settings

for each channel are -9dB to +9dB and will be

retained as the main volume approaches 60dB.

H o w e v e r, new settings made at high volumes will

only be allowed as the total reaches 60dB. In other

w o rds, if the main volume reads 55dB, the boost will

be limited to +5dB, and if main volume is set to 60dB

(maximum), no boost is available.

7) Dyn. Comp. Toggles through the three modes of

the Dolby Digital dynamic compression function.

Dynamic compression reduces the level diff e re n c e

between loud and soft sounds. This can be useful

when you are having trouble hearing dialogue clear-

ly or when you want to minimize disturbance of oth-

ers by very loud sounds. Available modes are "Half,"

"Full," and "Off"; the selected mode will be indicated

by the LEDs above the button. "Off" selects no com-

p r ession, whereas "Full" selects maximum compre s -

sion. This function is available only when the system is

p r ocessing a Dolby Digital input.

8) S u b . Allows adjustment of the subwoofer’s re l a t i v e

level. To use, press the button until the indicator LED

lights. Use the volume pads to raise or lower the bass

level until you get the balance of lows to highs that

you want. The central display will show how much

boost or cut you have applied, in decibels (dB).

P r essing the button again until the LED goes out will

lock the setting and re t u r n the volume pads to master

mode, controlling overall level. To re t u r n to the origi-

nal setting, just turn the control on again and adjust

the level until the display shows "0." Note: This also

c o n t r ols the "SWS Link" output level (see "SWS Link"

s e c t i o n ) .

9) S u r r. Allows adjustment of the surround speakers’

level relative to that of the front left and right. To use,

p r ess the button until the indicator LED lights. Use the

volume pads to raise or lower the surround level until

you get the balance that you want. The central dis-

play will show "SR" or "SL" to indicate adjustment of

the Surround Right or Surround Left output channel,

and then switch to indicate how much boost or cut

you have applied in decibels (dB). Pressing the button

once will allow you to adjust the surround right chan-

nel. Pressing the button a second time will allow you

to adjust the surround left channel. Pressing the button

again until the LED goes out will lock the setting and

re t u r n the volume pads to master mode, contro l l i n g

overall level. To re t u r n to the original setting, just turn

the control on again and adjust the level until the dis-

play shows "0."
