ADJUSTING CHANNEL LEVELS ‘ON THE FLY’

You can make changes to the relative levels of center, surround and 

subwoofer outputs without having to go into the ‘Speaker Levels’ menu. 

This is very convenient in circumstances like increasing (or tone down) 

a film’s dialog level by raising (lowering) the center channel or reducing 

excessive deep bass (or enhance deep bass) by lowering (raising) the 

subwoofer level.

Use the HTR 8’s ’SURR,’ ‘CENT’ and ‘SUB’ keys for direct-access level 

adjustment of these channels over a range of ±6 dB. 

The surround back channels (if any) adjust in lockstep with the surround 

channels.

NOTE

Level settings adjusted ‘On the Fly’ are added or subtracted to the setup 

levels established at the T 777 level-calibration routine as invoked by 

the HTR 8 ‘Test’ key. However, selecting any Preset will revert the channel 

levels to those stored in the preset. It will also take T 777 off the levels set 

via Audyssey Auto Calibration.

ZONE SETUP

The Zone feature allows one to simultaneously experience in different 

zones of the house multiple sound sources from all enabled Sources as well 

as from Front Input, Media Player and Tuner. 

The T 777 has three configurable Zones – Zone 2, Zone 3 and Zone 4. Use a 

combination of [A/S/D/F] and [ENTER] keys to navigate through the Zone 

Setup menu parameters.

VOLUME

Zone 2 have Fixed and Variable volume control. When set to ‘Variable’ 

and while at the ‘Zone Controls’ menu OSD, the Zone 2 Volume level can 

be adjusted using the HTR 8’s [D/F] or the corresponding front panel 

navigation buttons or directly via ZR 7’s [VOL d/f].

On the other hand, if Volume is set to ‘Fixed,’ the Zone 2 Volume is set to 

a preset dB level and thereafter the Zone’s volume can be varied via the 

volume control of the separate amplifier it is fed into.

MODE

Zone 3 and Zone 4 can be configured into two modes - Record Out and 

Zone (Audio Only).  If the selected mode is “Record out”, the audio of the 

assigned Source is directly sent out to the applicable Audio output (See 

Item 3 AUDIO 1-6/VIDEO 1-3/S-VIDEO 1-3). When Zone 3 or Zone 4 is set to 

“Record Out” mode, they will not be available at the “Zone Controls’ section 

of the Main Menu window.

Zone 2 and Zone 3 ‘Volume’ will function the same way as that of Zone 2 

when ‘Mode’ is set to ‘Zone (Audio Only).’ 

See discussion also on ‘Zone Controls’ at the Main Menu.

NOTE

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

AMPLIFIER SETUP

If the surround back speakers are not used in the main zone, their surround 

back amplifier channels could be assigned for Main back, Main Front (Bi-

Amp) and multi-zone use.

The Surround Back amplifier is configurable through the following settings

r .BJO#BDL Assign as surround back speakers.

r .BJO'SPOU#J"NQ Provide a bi-amp mode for the Main Front 

speakers (Left and Right) speakers thus reproducing the Front Left and 

Front Right amplifier channel outputs.

r ;POF Assign the surround back amplifier channels to supply Zone 2 

speaker level outputs from the surround back speaker terminals.

r ;POF Assign the surround back amplifier channels to supply Zone 3 

speaker level outputs from the surround back speaker terminals.

r ;POF Assign the surround back amplifier channels to supply Zone 4 

speaker level outputs from the surround back speaker terminals.
