TONE CONTROLS

The T 777 has three Tone Control levels – Treble, Bass and Center Dialog. 

Bass and Treble controls only affect the low bass and high treble leaving the 

critical midrange frequencies free of coloration. The Center Dialog (‘Dialog’ 

in the VFD) control boosts the ‘presence’ of the midrange region improving 

intelligibility of speech.

These controls allow one to tweak on-the-fly, the frequency response 

of the source during playback. The control setting could be adjusted 

by navigating through the Tone Controls’ OSD menu via a combination 

of [ENTER] and [A/S/D/F] keys. The same can be managed directly by 

pressing the front panel’s TONE button and then rotating the VOLUME knob 

to select desired setting.

Maximum and minimum values for all three Tone Control levels are ±10 dB.

‘Tone Defeat’ gives one the choice of varying or completely bypassing the 

tone control section of the T 777. If ‘Off’ (‘Tone Active’ in the VFD) is selected, 

the Tone Control circuits are active. 

Select ‘On’ (‘Tone Defeat’ in the VFD) to bypass the Tone Controls effectively 

defeating the effect of the tone control circuits.

NOTE

Tone Controls options can be directly selected or changed using HTR 8’s 

[TONE] button with DEVICE SELECTOR set to AMP mode.  Toggle [TONE] 

button to select “Treble”, “Bass” or “Dialog” and then use the [D/F] to 

adjust their respective levels. Press [TONE] again to save the settings and 

at the same time move on to the next parameter or exit the parameter 

setting altogether. 

ZONE CONTROLS

Depending on the settings made at the separate ‘Zone Setup’ menu under 

the ‘Setup Menu’ section discussion, the applicable Zone can be configured 

and managed via this ‘Zone Controls’ window.

Select ‘On’ to activate the applicable Zone. When activated, the Source input 

for the particular Zone can be allocated by selecting through the following 

inputs – All enabled Sources, Front Input, Media Player, Tuner and Local.

Select ‘Local’ as your selected Zone’s Source input if you wish to enjoy the 

same source as the main Zone and allow simultaneous listening, but with 

full separate volume levels.

If a Zone is set to ‘Off,’ it is deactivated or powered off. 

‘Volume’ refers to the adjustable secondary Zone 2 Volume level that can be 

increased or decreased using the D/F buttons of the HTR 8 or front panel’s 

corresponding navigation buttons.

When a Zone is activated, a corresponding Zone number is illuminated 

at the VFD. Zone 2 is always available to be configured at ‘Zone Controls’ 

menu. For Zone 3 and Zone 4 to become available at the ‘Zone Controls’ 

window, their corresponding ‘Mode’ in the ‘Zone Setup’ menu under the 

‘Setup Menu’ section should be set to ‘Zone (Audio Only).’

NOTE

The ZR 7 remote control will only control Zone 2 applications. Zone 3 

and Zone 4 could be configured and managed at the appropriate Zone 

OSD menu using the front panel navigations buttons as well as the 

corresponding keys on the HTR 8 remote control.
