INTRODUCTION
The DAVE (Digital Audio Video Entertainment) module,
transforms the integrated amplifier into a state-of-the-art Audio
Visual system. By connecting it via a power amplifier an extra 3
channels can be added, enabling 3 extra loudspeakers (5 in total).
The extra dimension of truly high quality sound makes movies,
sport and your favourite TV programmes a much more exciting
experience.The DAVE is capable of providing a level of sound
quality which will match a modern cinema.The DAVE will accept
Stereo, Dolby Digital, DoIby Pro Logic, Dolby 3 Channel, DTS, and
Digital Stereo signals.You are recommended to read the integrated
amplifier 'User Guide' first, for an introduction to the many features
of the integrated amplifier which are identical to the DAVE amplifier.

It is possible to adjust the gain of the centre and rear channels by
+/- 12dB using the remote control handset.
A pink noise generator is available which will cycle through the
available speakers (at 2 second intervals) making it possible to
adjust trim levels and confirm good connections between the
speakers and the amplifiers.This can be accessed at any time by
pressing the TEST [ALT] button on the remote.
It can also be accessed in setup mode (see the section of this

for the centre speaker and the REAR buttons
for the rear speakers. If you adjust a speaker trim then the
noise will stay on the channel being adjusted until shortly after you
have finished making the adjustment. See also 'Using the Menus' in
the 'Setting up' section of this handbook.
NIGHT TIME LISTENING
This reduces the overall loudness of the program being listened to
whilst still making it easy to hear the voices and effects.To select
