1961 Amplifier settings – Best practice for Dual Source
Article summary
- Consider whether you need separate presets for Stereo and Home Cinema or if one setting suffices.
- Setup the input/turn-on for Dual Source to maintain input selection integrity.
- Run auto calibration for optimal Stereo performance after initial setup.
- Read the Amplifier Operation Manual for detailed configuration guidance.
- Enhance your audio-visual setup with the 1723 Tower THX for cinematic sound quality.
Here are the settings we recommend for Dual Source purposes, specifically stereo setups combined with Home Cinema setups. Please look at individual Stereo or Home Cinema best practice for further information about each setup.
This guide should be read in conjunction with the Amplifier Operation Manual in the handbook.
The first thing you have to consider is whether you want to have individual presets for Stereo and Home Cinema, or whether you can get away with one memory setting, so you do not have to change every time you swap source. The latter will work well, as long as you set it up for Stereo usage, and then run an auto calibration from your AVR after the fact.
- Setup Menu
- Set individual memory settings for Stereo and Home Cinema if you feel the need under Memory Bank.
- Input/Turn-on should be set to Dual Source. This will lock the input selection so that input is has to be 12V triggered and input 2 turns on by auto-sensing a signal on the input. Whenever there is a 12V signal applied it will always stay connected on input 1, so no sound comes to input 2.
Thats it. Please see our other guides for Stereo or Home Cinema settings.
Frequently asked questions
What are the recommended settings for dual source setups?
For dual source setups, you can choose to have individual presets for Stereo and Home Cinema or use a single memory setting. Ensure to run auto calibration from your AVR for optimal performance.
Do I need to set individual memory settings for Stereo and Home Cinema?
It's optional. You can set individual memory settings if you prefer, but a single setting can work well if configured properly for Stereo use and calibrated afterward.
What should I set the Input/Turn-on option to in a dual source setup?
Set the Input/Turn-on option to Dual Source. This locks the input selection, allowing input 1 to stay connected with a 12V signal, while input 2 activates through auto-sensing.
How do I ensure the 12V trigger functions properly with input selection?
When a 12V signal is present, it keeps input 1 connected and prevents sound from input 2. Make sure these settings are correctly configured in your setup menu.
Where can I find specific guides for Stereo or Home Cinema settings?
Check our other guides for detailed instructions and best practices for configuring your Stereo and Home Cinema setups.
Do I need to calibrate my AVR for dual source setups?
Yes, running an auto calibration on your AVR after setup is essential for achieving the best sound quality in your dual source configuration.
What should I read alongside the dual source setup guide?
This guide should be read in conjunction with the Amplifier Operation Manual for complete understanding and detailed operations.
