more than 2 channels.

1 Audio/Video Inputs

These audio, Component

Video, Composite-Video

and S-Video inputs

connect to the outputs of

your audio video

components. When these

inputs are selected, the

audio will be heard in

your system and the

video will be seen on the TV screen. VID2 can be used

for a second VCR.

3 Component Video In

These inputs connect to the component-

video outputs of your DVD, SAT or other

video source (VID1) if they have this

advanced capability. When these inputs

are selected, the PT-7010A will

automatically route any video signals going into these jacks

to the component video outputs. Note that component

video provides the best picture compared to composite or

S-Video. The PT-7010A can also route HDTV signals.

4 Component Video Out

2 Audio/Video Outputs

MAIN

If your TV Monitor has component video

inputs, connect them to these outputs. If you

select DVD, SAT or VID1, then any video

signals going to the component inputs, will

pass through to your TV monitor. The PT-

7010A can also up convert any Composite Video or S-

Video signals from the other inputs to Component Video.

Connects to the inputs of a TV monitor, where the video

of any selected input and the On Screen Display (OSD)

can be viewed. The audio connections allow you to listen

to any selected audio source through your

TV’s speakers.

VCR

5 Infrared (IR) Inputs

Connects to the inputs of a VCR to allow

recording.

These are used in custom installations to control the

Main Zone and Zone 2 from a remote location. The

input accepts 1/ 8" mono mini-jacks from standard

remote control IR equipment, such as those made

by Xantech and other companies. The remote sensors

can be in a different room, or in a preferred location

in your main room.

VID2/MON2

Connects to the input of a second VCR

for recording, or to a second TV. When

configured in the OSD for “VID2,” this output is muted

whenever the VID2 input is selected. This prevents

feedback; also there is no OSD then on this output. When

configured for “MON2,” the output is always active, the

same as the Main output.

Note: Analog audio signals are present at these L and R

outputs even if a digital input has been selected. The

output is a 2 channel down mix if the digital source has

6 Triggers and Relay

The relay switch is normally open, and it

will close after a short delay, when selecting

a source. This can be used in installations

to trigger video screen deployment, or other

custom purposes. The OSD INPUTS menu

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

allows you to choose which inputs will activate the relay.

The +12 VDC outputs are on when-ever their zone is

enabled. Sherbourn amplifiers have a +12 VDC input

which allows them to be turned on automatically by the

PT-7010A. The 1 /8" mini-jack is wired in parallel with

the terminals. Do not exceed a current draw of 500 mA

total for both outputs.

DSP surround are by-passed in order to maintain the

highest fidelity. This input is not available in Zone 2.

11 FM Antenna

The supplied FM antenna fits this “F-type” screw-

on connector. Other antennas can be fitted for

improved reception.

7 RS-232 Port

12 AM Antenna

This connects to the serial port of a home or

laptop computer, allowing the PT-7010A

flash memory software to be up-graded. The

latest software can be downloaded from the Sherbourn

website, see page 60. It also allows connection of an op-

tional control device intended to be installed in a remote

location.

These connections are for the included AM loop

antenna.

13 Ground Screw

This is commonly used for the ground connection

wire of a turntable, to prevent any hum in your

speakers. It is tied to the chassis ground, and may

be used as needed.

Note: It is not necessary or desirable to connect this to an

electrical ground.

amplifiers

and

powered subwoofer.

The outputs are: front

left, front right,

center, left surround, left surround back, right surround

back, right surround and one subwoofer (LFE) output. If

your amplifier has a choice of inputs, we recommend using

the XLR balanced type. This gives better noise rejection,

especially for longer cable runs.

15 Audio Outputs

These audio outputs connect to the analog

record inputs of your tape decks, such as DAT,

cassette or reel to reel. These outputs allow

you to record the selected audio program. Note

that these also allow analog recording from

digital audio sources.

are outputs for front left, front right, center, left surround,

left surround back, right surround back, right surround and

three identical subwoofer (LFE) outputs.

FIXED MAIN is a line level output, and the

volume is not adjustable. This can be used as

a record output, or to feed another audio

system. ZONE 2 connects to the inputs of a

stereo amplifier to run Zone 2. The volume

and source are adjustable, either from the front panel, or

from a remote IR sensor.

10 8-CH Analog Input

These analog audio inputs can

connect to the output of an external

surround processor, or a source

component such as DVD-Audio,

other components will require if they share a common wall

socket. The majority of household electrical sockets in

places other than the kitchen and garage are 15 amperes

maximum. Most DVD players and other source

components are fairly low current items. The Sherbourn

PT-7010Arequires a minimum of 2 amperes @ 120 volts.

It should be sufficient to allow the PT-7010A to share a

wall socket with other video source units, but power

amplifiers and a video display (big screen TV or video

projector) should each be provided a SEPARATE electrical

connection on a SEPARATE circuit. This configuration

yields the most stable power supply in any home theater

application, regardless of your equipment choices.

18 IEC Line Cord Socket

The PT-7010A comes with a detachable line

cord which connects here. Plug the line cord

into an AC wall socket or power strip which is

correctly configured with the voltage and

current supply specified for the PT-7010A.

19 Digital Inputs

These inputs connect to the digital outputs of your audio/

video components. The DVD, SAT and VID1 and CD

inputs have two options, optical or coaxial. The DAT and

VID2 inputs are coaxial only. Whenever one of these inputs

is selected from

the front panel

or remote, the

PT-7010A will

automatically

select the digital input if there is a signal present, otherwise

it will select the corresponding analog input.

IMPORTANT- Please note the PT-7010A requires

initialization after the power cord is plugged into the AC

receptacle. Push and hold the power button for

approximately. 5 seconds. The unit will power up after

this small delay. The second push of the power button will

turn the unit off and after this the unit will turn on and off

in a normal fashion

20 Digital Output

This S/PDIF output is active for all sources

except the 8-channel input. It allows you to

record digital audio, for example to a DAT

or CD-R.

Refer to your power amplifier and video display owner’s

manuals to learn the power requirements so you can safely

plan your electrical power requirements for your home

entertainment system.

Connection Tips for Superior Sound

Before setting up your new system, please consider the

following:

21 IEEE-1394"Firewire”Port

This connection is for future expansion and

accessories.

• Whenever possible, route the power cords away from

the signal cables or speaker wires to prevent any hum or

interference heard in the speakers.

• Use quality coaxial digital cables to connect the PT-

7010A to any source equipment which has coaxial digital

outputs. Optical cables transmit only light pulses and are

much more immune to noises, but are sensitive to excessive

bends. Whichever you choose, follow the cable

manufacturer’s recommendations.

• Many RCA type patch cords can be a very tight fit and

there is usually a preferred method of getting them off.

Some have to be removed with a twisting action. Be gentle

or you may damage the jacks of your PT-7010A, or other

components.

• Many audiophile signal cables are intended to be hooked

up in one direction. If this is the case the cables will be

marked with arrows the direction of signal flow.

• It is usual for the right channel RCA patch cord plugs to

be red and the left channel connections to be white, grey,

or black (depending on the cable brand). RCA connectors

that are gold will be designated with a colored band to

designate the channel.

Installation and Connections

Observe the following precautions when choosing a

location for your Sherbourn PT-7010A:

1) Protect it from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight

and other direct sources of heat, such as heating vents

and radiators.

2) Do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. If fluid or a

foreign object should enter the unit, immediately turn off

the power and contact your Sherbourn Dealer.

3) Avoid excessive exposure to extreme cold or dust.

4) Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit.

5) If you need to clean the front surface, first turn off the

power and then use a soft dry cloth, rubbing with the grain.

Be careful not to scratch the display window.

AC Power Considerations

Ensure that the unit is plugged into an outlet capable of

supplying the correct voltage and current specified for your

model. Remember to account for the electrical power that

• If the amplifier to which you will connect the PT-7010A

features balanced XLR inputs, use the PT-7010A’s XLR

balanced outputs instead of RCA type patch cords.

Balanced signal transmission between audio components

provides superior rejection of hum and noise, especially

if long cables are required.

7010A can easily allow the following:

a) Up conversion from Composite Video inputs to S-

Video and Component Video outputs.

b) Up conversion from S-Video inputs to Component

Video outputs.

c) Down conversion from S-Video inputs to the MON2

video output jack.

Connection Tips for Video Quality

and Flexibility

The Sherbourn PT-7010A has three types of video

connections on board:

This flexibility in video conversion allows the PT-7010A

to switch ALL of your video sources, regardless of type,

making it an ideal central video signal controller. The PT-

7010A can also switch HDTV signals.

What is Composite Video?

Composite video signals are connected between products

with a single 75-ohm coax cable with Yellow RCA

connectors on each end. Composite video inputs or outputs

are present on almost all types of consumer grade video

equipment. Composite video signals can also be modulated

onto an RF carrier, along with an audio signal, and

transmitted over-the-air or on coax cable, by broadcast

stations and cable TV systems. RF video signal cables are

usually 75-ohm coax terminated with screw-on F-

connectors. That’s what your cable TV wiring is if you

have standard (non digital) cable services.

Example: - Typically you will connect your video display

(Television or Projector) to the Component Video outputs

of the PT-7010A. With the up conversion capability any of

the video sources using Composite Video or S-Video inputs

would automatically be converted to Component Video.

Keep in mind that it is ALWAYS preferable to use the best

type of input you have available, so if Component Video is

not available on the video source component and you can

choose between Composite Video or S-Video, choose S-

Video.

Picture Quality: Good. This is the lowest quality cable for

a video source, but again, it is also the most common.

One final note about the video switching on the PT-7010A

is that there are no video input capabilities for the Tuner,

Tape, or Phono sources, so the video output will remain

on the last selected video source until another input with

video source capabilities is selected.

What is S-Video?

Most midrange and premium video equipment provide the

option of using S-video connections. The S-video (or Y/

C) cable is terminated at each end with a four-pin DIN

connector. Although it may appear to be a single cable,

internally it has two 75-ohm coax or twisted pair cables to

carry the separate Y (luminance) and C (chrominance)

signals. Picture Quality: Better. The S-video cable will

offer marked improvement over a composite cable.

Video Output to the Main Screen and OSD

When an audio/video component is selected, the audio

will play in your system and the video will be switched to

a video input of your TV monitor. You must have the TV

connected in order to see the On Screen Display (OSD).

Zone Specific Turn-On Triggers

What is Component Video?

The “Main Zone” and “Zone 2” trigger terminals each

supply 12 VDC whenever that zone is turned on. This can

be used to turn on power amplifiers equipped with a 12 V

trigger input. The two middle terminals marked as relay

contacts are connected together only when the Main Zone

is on and an input is selected for which the trigger output

is enabled. The OSD INPUTS Menu can be used to select

which inputs have the trigger output enabled or disabled

Use all standard safety precautions and make sure all the

equipment is disconnected before making any connections.

Component cables look just like composite cables. The

difference is that, where a composite cable carries the entire

video signal on a single cable, component cables split the

signal in three. The signal itself is referred to as either

Y,Cr,Cb, orY,Pb,Pr. Manufacturers make connecting these

cables easy by color coordinating them. The tips of the

cables and jacks will be red, green and blue. A good rule

of thumb is that, if the connections are RCA type, it is

usually a component cable. Most high-end DVD players

and HDTV tuners will have component connections.

Picture Quality: Best. This connection gives a superior

image over Composite or S-Video connections.

See the two connection options on the next page.

Option 1

This shows independent 12 VDC outputs that will turn on

any compatible external amplifier with a 12 VDC trigger

input. Use the middle relay contacts to enable another

independent device that will turn on (as the contacts close)

whenever a “trigger enabled” input in the MAIN ZONE

has been selected. DO NOT use the center relay contacts

for 120 VAC or 240 VAC switching! They are only for

low voltageAC/DC loads of 2 A maximum. Typically this

will mean low voltage control of structured lighting

systems, automated window coverings, or other low

voltage devices. Never switch anything that plugs directly

into the wall with these on-board contacts. This action

will damage the unit and VOID THE WARRANTY.

Option 2

This simply shows looping the 12 VDC into the relay

contact to turn on a device using the available 12 VDC

trigger already supplied.

Overview of the PT-7010A

Remote

• Fully backlit

• Pre-programmed for most brands of A/V equipment

• Learns commands from your other remote controls

• Macro feature lets you program a sequence of control

steps

• Operates up to ten components

• Does not lose programming memory when changing

batteries

Button Layout

Think of the Sherbourn PT-7010A remote control as ten

remotes in one. There are ten DEVICE buttons (five on

either side of the display) and each allows the remote to

operate one piece of equipment. From the factory, the

device buttons are labeled: CD, TAPE, AUX, ZONE2,

7010A, DVD, VCR, SAT, TV and CABLE.

Only the 7010A and ZONE2 buttons are pre-programmed,

and these allow the remote to operate your PT-7010A.

The remote can be set to operate your other remote

controlled equipment.

This is done in three ways from the hidden SETUP menu:

1) Entering a code from the tables at the end of this manual

2) Stepping through the codes

3) Learning from your other remotes

See Remote Setup on page 31 for more details.

1 LCD Display

The top line shows the present device, mode or status,

and it shows when a remote command is being transmitted.

The bottom line shows the page number, status and basic

instructions during programming.

The main part of the display shows the labels of the ten

DEVICE buttons. You can change any label and customize

the remote to fit your system. Note: this is not a touch-

sensitive screen, just a way of labeling the device buttons

on each side, and showing instructions and status.

3 DEVICE Buttons

Once you press a device button, all the device buttons

change label and function to become buttons to operate

your device. There are two pages per device, and you can

move between them using the PAGE button.

2 Button and Display Light

The button on the right side of the remote briefly turns on

the lights for the buttons and display. Pressing it again

will turn it off. The duration of time the lights stay on is

adjustable or the lights can be disabled.

4 PAGE Button

Use this to jump to various display pages. For example, if

you press the 7010A device button, the display changes to

show buttons which control your PT-7010A. If you press

sure you have read the safety precautions on the preceding

pages before attempting to use your PT-7010A or the

remote. You will need a measuring tape during this setup

process.

5 MAIN Button

This button will return the remote display back to the Main

menu. Depending on which mode you are in, it may take

two or more presses. This will help you get back to the

Main menu if you ever get lost in the menus.

Step 1 -Add the batteries to the remote control as indicated.

6 FAV Button

Step 2 - Connect your source equipment and amplifiers to

the PT-7010A. If you haven’t yet done this, please refer to

the connection diagrams in the subsequent sections of this

guide. Safety Precaution - Make sure that all of your

equipment remains unplugged from the AC mains until

you have made all the connections.

This button allows you to step through five display pages

of your favorite TV and radio stations. These can be set

and relabeled to suit.

7 JOYSTICK PAD

This pad and surrounding buttons are used to operate

standard DVD menus, and VCR and Tape Deck controls.

In 7010A mode, if you press MENU, the On Screen

Display will appear and the joystick can be used to select

and adjust the various items.

Step 3 - Connect the speakers to your amplifier(s) so you

will be able to hear sound.

Step 4 - If you are using a new DVD player or had

previously configured it with 2-channel (RCA type) analog

audio connections, you may need to configure the output to

digital audio. In your DVD player’sAUDIO SETUPMENU,

you must set the digital output to BITSTREAM. If this is not

set correctly, the PT-7010A cannot decode the digital

information for discrete surround sound playback.

8 M1, M2 and M3 Macro Buttons

These MACRO buttons can be programmed to send out

a sequence of commands with a single press.

Step 5 - The PT-7010A has a Bass Management System

which allows the damaging bass from each full range channel

to be redirected to a subwoofer. Larger speakers can typically

play the full frequency range, however you may choose to

have smaller speakers (such as satellite types) can have the

bass redirected to the subwoofer(s). Make a note of which

speakers you would like to play the full frequency range

(Large) and those which will have the bass redirected

(Small). Also make a note of the approximate distance of

each speaker from your listening position.

Quick Start Setup Instructions

Most features of the Sherbourn PT-7010A can be operated

by the remote control’s 7010A section. For the best Home

Theater performance, you should calibrate your speakers and

customize the PT-7010A settings for your system. Press the

MENU button on the remote control to activate the On

Screen Display (OSD). This has several menus which will

allow you to set up your speakers and calibrate your system

correctly. The remote can also be used to activate and control

all features of the second zone.

Step 6 - Turn on the PT-7010A

Adding Batteries to the Remote Control

The PT-7010A Remote Control uses four AAA batteries.

They can be added by simply removing the back cover of

the unit and placing them according to the diagram. Once

installed, you should expect 6-8 months of normal use before

having to replace them again.

Step 7 - Turn on your amplifiers, TV and other source

equipment.

(Refer to the drawing of the remote on the next page)

Step 8 - Press the remote MAIN button a few times to make

sure you are on the Main Menu in the remote’s display.

Remember that the remote will not lose programming

memory when the batteries are removed for changing. This

will make subsequent battery replacements a breeze!

Step 9 - Set the remote to operate the PT-7010A by pressing

the 7010A button.

Quick Start Instructions for PT-7010A Setup

Step 12 - Stop or pause the source.

The PT-7010A now needs to be setup correctly to suit

your speakers and system. The SETTINGS (OSD) menu

is used to enter and make three main adjustments:

• Speaker Size

• Speaker Calibration

• Speaker Position

This setup needs to be done when you use your system for

the first time, or if you change anything such as the amplifiers

or speakers, or the speaker position. The calibration is also a

good way to check that your system is working correctly.

These adjustments are made using the OSD as follows:

Step 17 - In the SPEAKERS Menu, select the

CALIBRATION Menu to adjust the output of each speaker.

A test noise plays in each selected speaker, and you use the

remote to adjust the volume of each speaker until they are

create a cohesive sound field.

Step 19 - If you play a Dolby Digital or DTS encoded source,

the PT-7010A will automatically select the correct surround

mode. If it is a 2-channel source, you can select a surround

mode using the remote’s MODE buttons or from the front

panel.

Step 20 - The PT-7010A has many more options which are

described in further detail in the OSD menu section on page

34. These options will help you customize the PT-7010A to

suit your tastes. You can do this after you have used the PT-

is no need to navigate back through previous pages, unless

you want to make more changes.

DVD DIGITAL 48K

DTS 5.1 / 5.1

What this means is that DVD is the selected input and the

signal type is DIGITAL. The sample rate of the signal is

48kHz and the decoding mode is registered as DTS mode,

5.1 is the input format, 5.1 is the output (i.e. five speakers

and a subwoofer).

TRIM Menu

This menu allows you to adjust the individual volume level

of your speakers “on-the-fly.”Although careful calibration

is key to a good home theater, the Trims allow fine

adjustment of the current program playing. The Trims add

or subtract from the reference levels set during calibration

using the Speaker Calibration menu. Recalibrating will

reset these on-the-fly trims to zero.

Note: The Trim adjustments do not exceed +/-10 dB

allow you to create a more realistic surround effect from

2 channel sources:

• Center Width -This spreads the center channel between

the front left and right channels.

• Panorama - This wraps the front left and right channels

around to the surround channels.

• Dimension - This adjusts the balance between the front

and surround speakers.

DTS LFE

Set your subwoofer (LFE) channel for either CINEMA or

MUSIC during DTS playback. In the Cinema setting, there

is no change to the DTS subwoofer level from that

mastered on the DTS disc. For the Music setting, there is a

10 dB reduction, necessary to accurately match the levels on

DTS music discs.

MODES Menu

Dynamic Range

This is the range in level between the loudest sound and

quietest sound during Dolby Digital and DTS playback only.

The options are QUIET (narrow range), MEDIUM (average

range) and LARGE (wide range).

DTS Neo:6

This allows you to select either CINEMA or MUSIC for

DTS Neo:6 playback. These two options are described in

more detail on page 43.

Party

INPUTS Menu

These menus let you select which input you would like to

configure. Pressing the joystick right on each input brings

up a second menu which allows you to configure what

happens when each input is selected.

Input Configuration Menus (The example shows the

DVD menu)

NAME - Use the joystick up/down, and left/right to change

the display name for any input, up to 9 characters. Move

fully to the left after entering the name.

whenever the 8-Channel audio input is selected. Also, this

input only works in the MAIN ZONE, not in ZONE 2.

Tuner Preset Menu

This allows you to set the AM/FM band and frequency of

up to 40 radio stations. They can be recalled quickly and

set as favorite stations on the remote control. See page 44.

For FM stations, try to select the Stereo-NR (noise

reduction) for the best reception.

GAIN TRIM - Use this to adjust all of your sources to

play at similar levels. To prevent overloading, the levels

can only be adjusted downwards. You should try and trim

all the inputs to be the same average level as your quietest

source.

DEFAULT MODE - Set the input to a favorite surround

mode or stereo.

MAIN ZONE - Enable/disable the selected input in the

Main Zone. You can set up your system so any unused

inputs are not selectable. From the factory, the inputs are

enabled. If you choose to disable an input, then it will not

play in the Main Zone.

TRIGGER RELAY - The Trigger Relay can be set to turn

on whenever the input is selected. This could be used to

turn on an amplifier, video screen, lighting controls, etc.

ZONE 2 - Enable or disable the input for use in Zone 2.

Sometimes this is a useful idea to implement when a simple

selection is desired in the second zone (such as a patio,

play room, garage, or bedroom).

Saving AM/FM Presets

Step 1) Once you are on a preset in the OSD, press the

MODE button on the remote control to select the band

from FM NR ON, FM NR OFF, or AM MONO.

Note: The 8-Channel input menu is different from the other

menus as it allows you to select a specific video input

Power Up Volume

This allows you to set the PRESET volume level mentioned

above. You might want to set it to a low level to avoid any

surprises upon turn-on, especially if other users like loud

music.

Max Volume

The volume can be set to not exceed a certain level chosen

by you. This is useful if you have sensitive speakers,

sensitive neighbors, or you would rather not have others

play your system too loud. Finally, a smart preamplifier

where YOU can police the volume without even being

there!

Step 2) Use joystick LEFT and RIGHT to select the

frequency.

Step 3) Press the joystick CENTER to enter that frequency

into preset memory and play that station.

Step 4) Use the joystick DOWN button to move to the

next preset down on the screen. The bottom arrow on each

screen leads to the next page of presets.

ZONE 2 Menu

These settings are like those described for the Main Zone.

In addition, the entire Zone 2 can be enabled or disabled,

and the stereo balance adjusted with this menu.

Step 5) Repeat this for all the presets you want to set, then

press EXIT when finished.

SETTINGS Menus

MAIN ZONE Menu

Power Up Source

This sets the input source which the 7010A button will

then always select whenever the PT-7010A is turned on.

The Power Up Volume has three options: PRESET, LAST

and FIXED. The FIXED option allows you to set the Zone

2 to a fixed volume, not adjustable with the remote.

PRESET and LAST are as described for the Main Zone.

SPEAKERS Menu - SIZE

This menu allows you to enter the size of your speakers.

The bass management of the PT-7010A will then

automatically assign each speaker a frequency range based

on your preferences. For full range speakers with low

frequency capabilities, you will probably choose LARGE.

In the case that speakers are not capable of full range duty,

choosing the SMALL setting will engage a high pass

crossover point at the point which is chosen for the

subwoofer. When SMALL is chosen, the low frequency

range is sent to the subwoofer.

Power Up Volume Mode

This lets you choose the volume level the PT-7010A

reaches when it is turned on. You can select from a

PRESET level, set below (the power-up volume), or it can

play at the LAST level it was playing before it was turned

off. The PT-7010A will always turn on at the level set

here, but it can be adjusted to any level afterwards.

See pages 40 and 42 for more details on bass management

and information regarding the adjustment of the bass

management crossover point.

RANGE.

Select SMALL for any speakers such as satellites with 5

or 6 inch woofers. They will then receive the higher

frequency range above the crossover point selected for

the subwoofer. Remember that if you are not completely

sure (or if you choose to play it safe at first) you can select

this setting to get things started and see how much (if

anything) is missing from the audio signal content in the

MAIN speakers.

Select OFF if you have no surround speakers.

CENTER Speaker

In the OFF position, the center channel information is

redirected to the fronts. This is sometimes known as a

“PHANTOM” center channel.

In the ON position, the center channel can be configured

in the same manner as the MAIN speakers (Large or Small).

MAIN Speakers

Select LARGE for any speakers which are capable of good

bass performance. Frequency response will be FULL

RANGE.

SURROUND BACK Speakers

Select OFF if you have no surround back speakers. The

information will be shared among the other surround

speakers, creating a phantom back channel.

Select SMALL for any speakers such as satellites with 5

or 6 inch woofers. They will then receive the higher

frequency range above the crossover point selected for

the subwoofer. Remember that if you are not completely

sure (or if you choose to play it safe at first) you can select

this setting to get things started and see how much (if

anything) is missing from the audio signal content in the

MAIN speakers.

SUBWOOFER

Select ON if you have a subwoofer. It will then receive

any LFE signals (from 5.1, 6.1 sources), and the bass from

any channels set to SMALL. If you have no subwoofer,

you would obviously need to select OFF so that other

speakers in the system can receive the bass that is otherwise

handled by the subwoofer.

SIDE-AXIS Speakers

Select LARGE for any speakers which are capable of good

bass performance. Frequency response will be FULL

RANGE.

Note: the bass management does not work for the 8-

Channel input, or for Zone 2. Therefore the speaker size

settings will have no effect and these channels will always

be full range.

Select SMALL for any speakers such as satellites with 5

or 6 inch woofers. They will then receive the higher

frequency range above the crossover point selected for

the subwoofer. Remember that if you are not completely

sure (or if you choose to play it safe at first) you can select

this setting to get things started and see how much (if

anything) is missing from the audio signal content in the

MAIN speakers.

SPEAKERS Menu - POSITION

This menu allows you to enter the distance from your

listening position to the various speakers. The PT-7010A

will then automatically adjust and correct the speaker delay

times. The sound from each speaker should arrive at the

listener seated in the primary listening position at the

correct time. Please note that the best sound stage and

imaging will result from careful attention to this parameter,

especially for the FRONT speakers.

Select OFF if you have no side-axis speakers. The size is

always the same as the main speakers, so do not set the

mains to LARGE, if the side-axis speakers are small and

not capable of good bass performance.

The procedure is as follows:

1) Measure (in feet and inches) how far each speaker is

away from the center listening position of your home

theater.

2) In the OSD menu, use the remote control joystick arrow

buttons to enter the distance in feet for each speaker.

SURROUND Speakers

its level can be adjusted using the joystick left/right

buttons. Adjust each speaker in turn until they are all equal

in volume.

The best results are obtained if you use a Sound Pressure

Level (SPL) Meter. This is a hand held meter which will

accurately measure and display the sound level. Adjust

all of the speakers until they are playing within 1 dB of

each other. Without a meter, you can still obtain good

results with careful listening.

3) Repeat the procedure several times for each speaker

until you are satisfied they are playing at the same level.

4) Press the joystick UP to return to the top of the menu,

and then press joystick LEFT to exit. The calibration noise

generator will turn off.

3) The PT-7010A automatically sets the appropriate delays

for each speaker so the sounds arrive at the primary

listening position at the correct time.

4) Use the table at the right to record your speaker distance

measurements.

Speaker Placement Tip - There is no substitute for well

placed speakers, especially in pairs and especially in the

main front (L, C, R) positions. If you can place the main

speakers equidistant (at similar distances) from the

primary listening position, you will enjoy the most

balanced sound levels from most points in the room. The

farther away or closer the left speaker is from the listener

(when compared to the right speaker), the more delay one

will have over the other. Sitting nearest the speaker with a

high degree of delay does not sound natural. Read more

about speaker placement tips in the “Speaker Placement

Tips” section.

SPEAKERS Menu - CALIBRATION

The calibration procedure allows you to adjust the volume

level of each speaker in turn until they are all equal. This

will give you the best Home Theater performance. You

should only do this calibration when you are sitting in

your usual listening/viewing position.

Preliminary: Play a movie and adjust the volume for a

comfortable listening level. The volume of the calibration

test noise is linked to the setting of the main volume

control, so if the test noise is too quiet, turn the main

volume up a little and retry.

1) Use the OSD to navigate to the SPEAKER

CALIBRATION menu.

2) Press the remote’s joystick down to turn on the noise

generator. While the test signal is playing in each speaker,

allows you to redirect the low frequencies of your main

and surround speakers to a subwoofer. The crossover point

of the left and right main speakers can be selected from

40 Hz to 160 Hz. There is an additional selection for the

center and surround speakers with the same range of

adjustment between 40-160Hz.

If you set the L-R CROSSOVER to 80 HZ (a good

starting point), left and right channel main speakers set to

SMALLreceive frequencies above 80 Hz. The frequencies

below 80 Hz are then redirected to the subwoofer. The

same scenario applies to the C-SURR setting for center

and surround speakers.

Most manufacturers provide a -3 dB specification for their

speakers. This is the frequency where the speaker’s output

has dropped by 3 dB. Set the PT-7010A crossover to this

frequency or above. If you cannot find this, set the

crossover to 80 Hz (the default). Set your subwoofer’s

own crossover control to maximum frequency or bypassed

mode. If it is set lower than the PT-7010A, there would be

a hole in the mid bass, and bass information would be

missing.

SUBWOOFER

The main volume control adjusts the volume of all of the

speakers up and down at the same time. They keep the

same relative levels as were originally selected.

Subwoofer Mode

The subwoofer output can be set to NORMAL or

Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic and DTS soundtracks are

designed to be played back on a properly calibrated Home

Theater. The sounds from each speaker will be at the

correct relative levels, as the movie sound director

designed them. Repeat the calibration if you change any

speakers or your external power amplifiers. You should

also run a new calibration whenever you move your seating

relative to the speakers.

Note: The range of adjustment is +/- 10 dB for each

speaker.

Crossover Adjustment

The bass management system built into the PT-7010A

ENHANCED BASS mode.

The Enhanced Bass mode provides an output to your

subwoofer even when you are listening to a stereo source

with main speakers set to LARGE. In the Normal mode,

there would be no subwoofer output in this case, and the

bass would only come from the main speakers. The

Enhanced Bass mode has no effect if the main speakers

are set to SMALL, as the subwoofer is automatically

engaged. It also has no effect in 5.1 or greater surround

modes.

VIDEO Menu

OSD POPUP (Volume, Source, and Mode)

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

When enabled, a “pop-up” message appears on your TV

any time the volume (including mute or on-the fly trims),

source, or surround mode are changed. The OSD circuit

in the PT-7010A is not switched into the video path unless

called up by an OSD action. This allows for the best

possible video reproduction quality. When the OSD display

activates, it is normal to see a slight flicker on the screen.

This menu allows you to choose which, if any features,

are enabled for OSD features after initial setup of the PT-

7010A.

Note: The speakers keep their relative time delay settings

which the PT-7010A calculates from the Speaker Position

Menu settings. The video delay is just added on top. Leave

the video delay at zero if you do not have an external video

processor or if you detect any noticeable synchronization

problems with dialogue.

SOFTWARE Menu

This menu is used to show the current revision levels of

system software within your PT-7010A. It also allows the

PT-7010A Flash memory software to be upgraded by use

of the RS-232 port.

Note: The OSD “pop-up” does not function on the

component video output. This is intentional, as we feel

that the OSD insertion circuitry will degrade the

performance of the component video circuitry due to the

ultra wide bandwidth requirement for optimal component

video performance.

Please note that to accomplish the software upgrade, you

will need to connect the PT-7010A to a computer with a

serial cable (DB-9 type). The latest version of the PT-

7010A software is available on the Sherbourn website.

You will need to download this to your computer before

connecting and upgrading the PT-7010A.

VIDEO DEFAULT

Select the video output where the “pop-up” text appears,

either S or composite video, but not both. The full OSD is

not affected by this menu item, as it is available on both.

For detailed instructions on this procedure and to check

for the latest software version, please visit the Sherbourn

website at www.Sherbourn.com.

VID2/MON2 OUT

VID2: the VCR2/MON2 outputs can be used for recording

to a second VCR. There is no OSD, and the output is muted

when VID2 is chosen as an input (to prevent feedback).

MON2: the VCR2/MON2 output becomes a second

monitor output (with OSD) for another TV. It will not mute

when VID2 is chosen.

CONTROL Menu

In most cases, there is no need to change these settings

(all enabled by default). You should make any changes

with caution. This menu allows you to enable or disable

the RS-232 port and the rear panel IR remote control

connections. The front panel IR receiver can also be

disabled if required, but make sure the rear panel IR

receiver is working correctly and is still active before doing

this.

VIDEO DELAY

This adjustment is useful if you have an external video

processor in your system. Video signals may become

delayed with respect to the audio signals. Although it is

called Video Delay, it is actually a delay adjustment of the

audio signals relative to the video signals. Use the remote’s

joystick pad to adjust the delay in one millisecond steps.

An equal amount of delay time is added to all audio

channels.

The front panel IR can be re-enabled by holding down the

remote’s MENU button for several seconds, while pointing

it at the front IR window.

and subwoofers. You need all of the speakers to get the

best performance from your Home Theater. If you do not

have a subwoofer connected, then you should not use the

bass management system (so set all the speakers to Large).

Without a subwoofer, you will be missing the 5.1 LFE

(low frequency effects) information.

Considering the advantages of the bass management

system, you might try setting all of your speakers to Small,

even if they are capable of good low-frequency

performance.

Surround Modes for 2 Channel Source

Special Features of the

Sherbourn PT-7010A

Bass Management

Unlike higher frequencies, it is difficult to discern exactly

from which direction lower bass is coming. The PT-7010A

has a bass management system which takes advantage of

this effect. It allows you to choose whether your speakers

will play the full frequency range, or if the bass will be

redirected to the subwoofer.

The advantages of redirecting the bass to a subwoofer

include the following:

The overall bass of the system is improved as sub woofers

are specially designed for this frequency range.

• The subwoofer can simultaneously play the bass from

all of the speakers, in addition to its own low frequency

effects channel (LFE).

• There is no loss in perception of the position of movie or

music sound effects, as the ear cannot easily locate the

position of low frequency sources.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC II and DOLBY PRO LOGIC llx

This is the conventional two-channel stereo mode with

sound from your left and right speakers. The PT-7010A

bass management lets you use your subwoofer to handle

the lower frequency range. Dolby Pro Logic II has several

options which can be set using the On Screen Display

(OSD) menus. These include:

MOVIE mode for Dolby Surround soundtracks. These

are decoded by the PT-7010A into separate channels: left

and right channels for off-screen imaging, a center channel

for most on-screen dialog, and stereo surround channels

for ambience and special effects.

• Smaller speakers can be used for main front, center and

surrounds, as they do not have to reproduce the low

frequency range. This leads to a saving in speaker expense

and room space. A subwoofer is required if the front

speakers are set to SMALL.

MUSIC mode for listening to any stereo material. This

mode also includes three options:

• Center Width, which spreads the center channel across

the front soundstage.

• Panorama, which wraps the left and right channels

around you.

• Dimension, which adjusts the front/rear balance of the

PLII or PLIIx effect.

• Your amplifiers do not waste power reproducing the low

frequency range when using a powered subwoofer. Nearly

all home audio subwoofers are self powered.

See page 40 for information regarding the adjustment of

the bass management crossover point.

Note: The SPEAKER SIZE menu is used to set the bass

management correctly for your speaker system. See page

37.

Dolby Digital and DTS modes are designed especially for

programs, and adjust these extra options to suit your taste.

PRO LOGIC llx extends the Dolby Pro Logic II

technology by adding stereo full range surround back

channels. Use this feature instead of Dolby Pro Logic II if

you are using the surround back channels in your system.

This mode also features the Music and Movie modes as

described above.

Surround Modes for Multi-Channel

Sources

For multi-channel sources, the PT-7010A will

automatically select the correct mode from one of the

following:

• DOLBY DIGITAL

• DOLBY DIGITAL EX

• DTS

PLII MATRIX mode can be used for mono sources, or

for FM programs with poor stereo reception.

PLII PRO LOGIC mode emulates the original standard

surround mode. It can be used for source material which

is not of optimum quality, or if you just feel nostalgic for

the way things were.

• DTS-ES MATRIX

• DTS-ES DISCRETE

If you want to try one of the modes on the previous page,

you should select a 2-channel output from your DVD

player’s options menu.

PARTY

This extra stereo mode copies the front speaker signals to

the other speakers in your system. This mode adds

tremendous presence to your stereo sources and is great

for parties and casual listening alike. The OSD menu can

be used to select which speakers are active in this mode.

NOTE: In your DVD player’s audio setup menu, set the

digital output to BITSTREAM. If this is not set correctly,

the PT-7010A cannot decode the digital information.

DOLBY DIGITAL 5.1

JAZZ CLUB

Dolby Digital and DTS are “5.1” surround systems with

five main channels: left front, center, right front, left

surround, and right surround. Each channel can play the

full frequency range and is independent of the other

channels. The “.1” denotes the subwoofer channel which

plays the low frequency effects (LFE), also independent

of the other channels.

In this DSP mode, the surrounds simulate the ambiance

caused by rear reflections and effects of a small to medium

sized venue. This is useful for adding surround sound

effects to stereo sources. The ambiance effect can be varied

using the OSD MODES menu.

DTS Neo:6

The CINEMA option can produce up to six full range,

separate channels and a subwoofer output from stereo

matrix surround sources. This enhances the playback of

sources such as surround sound video tapes, Laser Discs

and broadcast TV programs.

Dolby Digital EX and DTS ES offer “Extended

Surround.” Both systems offer a surround back

channel which effectively fills in the otherwise empty

sound space behind you.

The MUSIC option can expand normal stereo programs

into six channels. It does so in a natural sounding way,

which enhances the listening experience.

DTS (5.1)

This mode is available if the PT-7010Aautomatically

detects that a DTS encoded source is present at one of

its digital inputs. Look for the DTS Logo on DVDs,

Laserdiscs, CDs and other sources. You must select

DTS from the DVD options menu to configure the

DVD player to output a DTS BITSTREAM. The PT-

7010A will then automatically recognize it as DTS.

SOURCE DIRECT

This mode bypasses all DSP, Tone, and bass management

circuits. It is stereo analog only, and offers the shortest

signal path through the PT-7010A. Only the front left and

right speakers are engaged. Do not use this mode for

digital-only sources, as it only routes the analog audio. To

prevent damage to your speakers, this mode only works if

your front speakers are set to Large.

In addition to these modes, and those offered for multi-

channel sources, the side-axis speakers will widen the front

sound stage and fill in the sound field between the front

speakers and the surrounds. Note that the side-axis

speakers are active in stereo as well as multi-channel

operation.

DTSES(6.1)

All DTS-ES sources have the surround back channel

matrixed into the left and right surrounds. Newer DVD

releases also have a discrete surround back channel, in

addition to the same information matrixed.

DISCRETE ES sources: the PT-7010A DTS-ES discrete

decoder will decode the discrete surround back channel.

It also removes the surround back matrix from the left and

right surrounds, and restores them to be fully independent

channels.

MATRIX ES sources: If

there is no discrete

surround back channel,

the PT-7010A decodes

the matrixed surround

back channel from the

left and right surrounds,

and restores them to fully

independent channels.

Setting the Presets

Tuner Operation

Once you have tuned in a station, press and hold a preset

button until the display flashes to show the memory has

been set. Use the +10 button to add presets higher than 9,

and hold the last button pressed for a few seconds.

The Tuner is selected either by rotating the manual input

selector on the front panel, or by touching the TUNER

button in the remote’s 7010Amode. The front panel display

shows the frequency of the last station you were listening

to.

The FM Tuner can tune stations from 87.5 MHz to 108.0

MHz in 0.2 MHz steps (.05 MHz steps for some

international models). The AM Tuner range is 530 kHz to

1710 kHz in 10 kHz steps (531 kHz to 1710 kHz in 9 kHz

steps for some international models).

Recalling a Preset Station

Once you have selected the Tuner, you can quickly recall

a station by pressing its preset number, either on the front

panel or by using the remote’s numeric keypad, FAV

buttons, or the channel up and down buttons.

Scanning Presets

To scan through the presets, press and hold the FM/AM

Tuner and the OSD

Page 36 shows how to set up the Tuner using the on screen

display.

Recording Operation

Recording to a Tape Player

Tuning Stations Manually

Use the front panelAM/FM button to select either the AM

or FM band, and then use one of these three ways to tune

stations manually:

1) Touch UP or DOWN momentarily to change the tuner

by one frequency step.

2) Hold UP or DOWN for a second or so, then release to

start the scanning feature. The PT-7010A will scan to the

next station, pause on it for a few seconds to allow you to

hear what is offered there, and then scan to the next, and

so on. Pressing UP or DOWN stops the scanning process.

3) Hold UP or DOWN for an extended period to make

the tuner speed across the band without stopping on a

station. The tuner will begin scanning for stations when

you release the button. Pressing UP or DOWN stops the

scanning.

Input signals from an audio source playing in the PT-7010A

can be recorded using the left and right audio outputs.

The tape player will receive a straight copy of the analog

source signal going in, unaffected by the volume, tone, or

any surround modes. If you are playing a digital source,

the tape player will receive a down mixed stereo analog

signal for recording.

• Select the source (such as CD) and play it through your

system.

4) When a station is tuned, it can be set as a preset for

easy recall, see “Setting the Presets” below.

Tuning Stations Directly

Use the AM/FM button to select either the AM or FM

band and then press the DIRECT button. Within a few

seconds, enter the station’s frequency by using the preset

number buttons. For example, to tune to radio station 97.3,

press DIRECT, then 9, then 7 and then 3.

• Set your tape player to record and adjust the input levels

for the best performance. Once the levels are correct, you

can reset your source to the beginning and make your

recording.

Indicators

The front panel has two LED’s to show the Zone 2 status:

Zone 2 Power. This LED is always on when Zone 2 is on.

If it is off, there will be no output to the Zone 2 amplifier.

• Do not select another Main Zone input while you are

recording.

Zone 2 Adjust

This turns on whenever the Zone 2 source or volume is

being changed.

Recording to a VCR

Any video source playing in the PT-7010Acan be recorded

using the left and right audio and the video outputs. The

VCR will receive a straight copy of the source signal going

in, unaffected by the volume, tone or any surround modes.

• Select the video source and play it through your system.

• Set your VCR to record.

Note: if this is on, then any adjustments you make of volume

or input, will affect Zone 2, not the Main Zone.

In addition to these LEDs, the front panel display will show

the input and volume adjustment.

Turning on Zone 2

• Do not select another Main Zone source while you are

recording.

Use the On Screen Display in the Main Zone to check that

Zone 2 is enabled. (See page 37 for details). This enables

the Zone 2 system, but it still has to be turned

on.

• The VID2/MON2 output can also be used for recording,

but first make sure that it is set to VID2 in the VIDEO

menu of the OSD (see page 40). This output will then mute

to prevent feedback whenever the VID2 input source is

selected.

Press the remote’s ZONE 2 button.

The remote’s POWER, VOLUME and

MUTE buttons then work for Zone 2. The

remote display changes as in PAGE 1.

• Do not use the OSD while recording as the incoming

video is shut off while the OSD is displayed

PAGE 1

Zone 2 Operation

This allows you to select the inputs to play in

Zone 2. Z2MAI (main) allows Zone 2 to play

whatever is playing in the Main Zone.

If you have an amplifier and a pair of speakers in a second

room or area (Zone 2), they can play an analog stereo

source independent of what is playing in the Home Theater

room (Main Zone). You can also play the same source as

selected in the Main Zone. Multi-channels sources will be

down mixed to stereo, if applicable.

Zone 2 plays stereo sources, and is unaffected by the Tone

controls, DSP, surround modes or bass management.

Connections

The connections for Zone 2 are shown on pages 24-25.

Note: Zone 2 can play analog sources independent of what

is playing in the Main Zone. It cannot play from a digital-

only source unless that input is selected and playing in the

Main Zone. To play a source such as a DVD or CD player

in Zone 2 independent of the Main Zone, make sure you

also connect the player’s L-R analog audio output to the

PT-7010A.

Speaker Placement Tips

Tips Before You Begin

The Center Speaker

Read this section thoroughly. There are a number of ways

in which it may seem aesthetically pleasing to place

speakers in a room that will ultimately result in a sound

quality compromise. The placement of speakers is equally

as important as the room itself. While there may be very

little you can do about the room where your home theater

is installed, you can choose placement of speakers within

that room to maximize the sound quality of the system.

Ultimately, this will give a much better result when you

are enjoying your home theater and your new Sherbourn

PT-7010A.

Most movie dialog will come from the center speaker, so

careful positioning is an important part of a good home

theater system. Your eyes and ears should focus your

attention towards the center of the screen.

The center speaker can sit on top, or directly underneath

the TV, as long as it is located on the centerline and not

off to one side. Ideally you would try to maintain a

deviation from the center line of the speakers of less than

12". This means the center speaker will not be lower or

higher than 12" to the center measurement of the LEFT

and RIGHT MAIN speaker center measurements.

Overall, the best placement for front speakers is where

the sound is directed at ear level. This means that the

speakers themselves can be in positions lower (like small

floor standing speakers) or higher (like in-wall or in-ceiling

speakers) as long as the sound is “pointed” toward the

listeners and preferably around ear level. This is not

necessarily the case with the rear speakers or the side axis

speakers. Read each of the sections carefully for the most

appropriate positioning. A subwoofer is also a little

challenging to install depending on the room. In multiple

subwoofer installations, the positioning of the woofers to

the listener as well as to each other is critical because there

can be problems with cancellation if optimum placement

is not observed.

Position the front face of the speaker close to the front

edge of the TV cabinet. (The sound waves may otherwise

reflect off the top of the TV cabinet and distort the center

imaging).

In some systems, two center speakers are used; one on

either side of the TV. As they are in mono, the result is a

sound image that is positioned exactly at the screen center.

Side-Axis Speakers

The PT-7010A has two side-axis channels which are

matrixed and derived from the left and right front channels,

so they are available in stereo as well as surround modes.

Use the OSD SPEAKER SIZE menu to turn the SIDE-

AXIS channels ON or OFF (see page 38).

The Front Speakers

You should closely follow the placement recommendations

of your speaker manufacturer, with the addition of the

following points:

Wherever you position the side-axis speakers, place these

speakers along the side walls, close to the fronts. You can

also angle them in towards your listening position for better

results. You should not use a surround or effect speaker

(such as a dipole) for side axis speakers. Direct radiating

speakers will give the best result without interfering with

the clarity and presence of the main speakers in the front

left, center, and right sides.

• The left and right front speakers should be positioned so

that your TV is exactly centered between them. This will

help focus your attention towards the screen.

• For the best overall imaging, the left speaker should be

set exactly the same distance and angle away from your

listening position as the right speaker. It is recommended

that you use a tape measure to set them up to be the same

distance away within about half an inch tolerance.

The Surround Speakers

Place each surround speaker to be an equal distance away

from your central listening position and keep them at least

one or two feet above ear level.

If you have a smaller TV, the speakers should be no more

than two feet away from the sides of the TV. If possible,

have the center, left and right speakers at the same height

(within two feet). This will help give a smooth transition

when sound effects move from speaker to speaker.

Ideally, the speakers should be no closer than two feet

from the rear and side walls, in order to reduce any

reflections that might upset the imaging. If your speakers

are closer than this, you can experiment by adding sound

Dipole surround speakers are usually positioned to the side

of your listening position. They radiate forwards and

backwards and have a quiet null zone (the “apex” of the

triangular shape) which should point towards the listener.

The overall effect is that you cannot hear the direct sound

from the surround speakers because they don’t directly

radiate into the listening space. Most manufacturers of

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

dipole speakers, intended for use as an effects or surround

speaker, have excellent details on optimum positioning

for the best overall results based on the application.

through it, or simply plug the analog outputs of a CD player

directly into your subwoofer’s low-level inputs. Turn down

the subwoofer’s volume level before turning on the CD,

then play the test tones or some music with heavy sustained

bass passages.

3. Walk around the room, standing in all the positions

where you might be able to place the subwoofer. Again,

this is usually near the corners of the room. Try locations

fairly close to the front speakers.

Conventional surround speakers can be placed behind the

listener, on the rear walls or the side walls or in the ceiling.

Adjust the angle so they do not point directly at the listener

but cause reflections from the sidewalls, floor, or the

ceiling. Avoiding direct aim at the listening positions will

give the effect of broadening the rear soundstage so that

you cannot distinguish the sound as coming from a small

box on the wall but from a larger area behind you.

Notice where in the room the bass output from the

subwoofer sounds the loudest. Shut things down and install

the subwoofer there. This is the best position for the

subwoofer. The bass will sound the best when you are

sitting in your normal listening position.

Surround Back Speakers

The PT-7010A has two extra outputs for surround back

speakers. These create a wonderful sense of realism in

surround effects during playback of Dolby Digital EX,

Dolby Pro Logic 11x, and DTS ES.

If your subwoofer seems to sound best when it is near the

front speakers (often the case), keep in mind that most

television sets may not react well to the subwoofer if it is

not built specifically for use in a home theater application.

While most front Left/Center/Right speakers do have

shielding when intended for use in a home theater

application, subwoofers are not always magnetically

shielded and may damage the television if placed too close.

If you want to check if this will be a problem, select an

unused video input on the television to bring up a single

color screen. If you see any color distortion anywhere on

the screen, an unshielded speaker is too close to the screen

and should be moved away from the television until the

color distortion disappears.

The PT-7010A can be configured for one or two surround

back speakers. Ideally, all the surround speakers should

be of the same make and model, and fitted at similar heights

to produce a smooth continuous sound field. If you are

connecting one surround back speaker, connect its

amplifier input to the PT-7010A LEFT CHANNEL

SURROUND BACK output. Place the speaker behind

your listening position.

Subwoofer Location

The PT-7010A has identical output connections for up to

three subwoofers, in addition to a fourth, balanced sub

output.

Note - most powered home subwoofers feature a phase

control with a range between 0-180 degrees. This is present

so that in situations where the optimum location is not

particularly desirable, you can locate the subwoofer

elsewhere nearby and make a slight adjustment to the

phase so that is sound arrives to the listener at the same

time as the other speakers. Ideally, sound arriving at the

same time is what allows the subwoofer to create the

illusion of the main speakers making the bass. This is what

enhances the listening experience.

A subwoofer typically sounds best in a corner with at least

5 feet of wall to either side. Due to the short wave-lengths

of high-frequency sounds, they don’t interact strongly with

the size and shape of a room. Lower frequencies long

wavelengths can cause “Standing wave” problems. Placing

the subwoofer in a corner usually creates the best possible

situation for the sound to interact with the room, allowing

even distribution of the bass frequencies. Often the corner

that offers nearby placement to the front speakers may

yield the best results, but you should try several locations

before settling on just one.

The best location for a single subwoofer can be found by

playing a couple of different low frequency test tones (or

some music with heavy sustained bass passages) and

proceeding with the following easy

1 -2-3 process:

1. Place the subwoofer right on the seat of your couch or

listening chair.

2. You can then either run the calibration (noise) signal

Poor FM Reception

Troubleshooting Guide

• The antenna may be incorrectly attached.

• Station not correctly tuned in, weak or off the air.

• You can improve reception by using external antennas.

Some cable TV feeds also offer FM reception.

The Sherbourn PT-7010A is expertly designed and built

to provide years of trouble-free performance. Most

problems that occur can usually be solved by checking

your setup or making sure that the audio and video

components connected to the processor are on and fully

operational.

The following information will help you deal with common

setup problems you may experience during normal use of

your unit. If problems persist, contact your Sherbourn

Dealer for help.

Input Selection Problems

• If you find that certain inputs cannot be selected, check

the INPUTS menu of the OSD (page 36), and make

sure that the input has not been disabled in that

particular Zone.

There is No TV Picture

• Make sure that the video input of your TV monitor is

connected to the Main monitor output on the PT-7010A

rear panel.

• Check that your Monitor is selecting its correct video

input.

• Check the video connection from your selected source

component into the PT-7010A.

• Make sure that you are using the correct video

connections. If in doubt, try connecting the video output

from your source directly to your TV monitor. This

will help you narrow down the problem.

• Use only one type of Component Video, S-Video, or

Composite Video connection on a given input. If more

than one are present at the same time, the PT-7010A

will choose higher quality format and the S-Video and

the Composite Video output will be off in this case.

No Sound (from one or more full range speakers)

• Speaker cables may have come undone. Turn off your

system and check the cables, and tighten the binding

posts.

• An audio cable may have an internal break.

• The volume level is low for the channels concerned.

Recheck the calibration procedure (page 39).

• The Mute switch is on.

• The channel has not been turned on in the Speaker Size

Menu (page 37).

• The correct surround mode is not selected. (Some DVD

discs are stereo only).

Note: In Source Direct mode, only the front left and right

speakers are engaged. They must also be set to Large.

No Subwoofer (or poor output)

• The subwoofer’s amplifier is off or its controls are set

No Tone Control Functions

low.

• Remember that the tone controls are non-functioning

whenever the PT-7010Ais using the 8-CH input, Source

Direct mode, or in Zone 2.

• Are all other speakers set to LARGE in the Speaker

Size menus?

• SUB is not switched on in the Speaker Size Menu (page

37).

• Recheck the calibration procedure (page 39).

• Adjust the Crossover and check Bass Management

(page 40 and 42).

• See page 47 to find the best location for your subwoofer.

• If the bass is weak during Dolby Digital or DTS

playback, check the correct audio output is selected in

your DVD menu, otherwise it may just play stereo into

your PT-7010A and you won’t get the true LFE signal

to the subwoofer.

No Dolby Digital or DTS Playback

See page 43

• Look for the Dolby Digital or DTS Logo on the source

program’s box or sleeve. Make sure your player’s digital

output is set to BITSTREAM for Dolby Digital or DTS.

This is often a player’s setup menu item, not the disc’s

menu. Some discs are available with a number of

different options, such as Dolby Digital or Dolby Pro

Logic. Make sure that you have selected the correct

mode from your player’s menu. Only digital inputs will

work for these modes.

• Check that your player’s digital output is connected to

the appropriate corresponding digital input on your PT-

7010A.

• There is no AC-3 RF input connection for Laserdisc

players. You will need an external RF demodulator.

• Check the calibration procedure from time to time. This

is an excellent way of checking that all speakers are

working correctly.

Poor AM Reception

• Often one of the main complaints about poor AM

reception is that the same AM station can be heard at

different frequencies. Check to see BOTH wires of the

AM loop antenna are connected. A loop antenna is

required forAM reception, as it forms part of the front-

end tuned circuit.

• Noise bursts are heard when DTS encoded CDs or LDs

are played. Compressed DTS data uses the normal

digital audio tracks of CDs and LDs. This analog noise

may be heard in your system before the DTS digital

signal is locked on, or it may appear as a background

hiss. To reduce or prevent this noise, disconnect any

analog connections to your CD, DVD, or Laserdisc

players. Just use the Digital connections and see if this

addresses the problem.

you are ready to use it. This enables Zone 2, but it does

not turn it on.

• Once Zone 2 is enabled, use the remote control’s Zone

2 device button, followed by the Power button to turn

Zone 2 on. Alternatively, press the front panel Zone 2

button, followed by the main Power button. The front

panel Zone 2 Power light will be on when the zone is

active (i.e. engaged and on). The Zone 2 Adjust light

turns on when the zone is being adjusted. For example,

if you turn Zone 2 on with the remote, and adjust the

volume, Zone 2’s volume changes, and the Zone 2

Adjust light will be on.

No On Screen Display

See page 34 and 40

• Press the remote’s MENU button to activate the OSD.

It should be present even when no video source has

been selected. Remember, there is no OSD “Pop Up”

for component video connections.

Zone 2 Does Not Play Digital Inputs

• Zone 2 can play analog sources independent of what is

playing in the Main Zone. It cannot play from a digital-

only source unless that input is selected and playing in

the Main Zone. To play a source such as a DVD player

in Zone 2 independent of the Main Zone, make sure

you connect the player’s L/R analog audio output to

the PT-7010A too.

Sound Drops Out With CD or DVD Playback

• Make sure the disc is not dirty or scratched.

• Some inexpensive players and changers tend to

mistrack more often, causing dropouts with an external

DAC.

External Amplifier(s) Shut Down (Often or

Prematurely)

Check the following:

Remote Won’t Learn Commands or Codes

See page 31

• Make sure you are pointing the original remote into

the receiving window of the Sherbourn remote. This is

located on the top edge of the remote.

• Try touching and holding the first button to be learned.

• Do not do the learn procedure in bright lighting or

sunlight.

• Make sure each speaker’s average impedance is not

less than your amplifiers can safely handle.

• The amplifier(s) have good ventilation, no vents are

covered.

• Try setting all the speakers to SMALL and let your

subwoofers handle the heavy bass.

• Make sure the Sherbourn remote is correctly in its

LEARN mode. Make sure the batteries in the remote

are fully charged.

• Try varying the distance between the remotes from 1

to 2 inches, and see if the learn procedure improves.

• Check that the amplifier(s) power output is a good

match for your speakers. If your speakers are inefficient,

consider using larger power amplifiers.

• Make sure all wiring is correct and there are no shorts.

PT-7010A “Locks Up” (No Response)

• Unplug AC power momentarily, and press Power to

turn back on.

Remote Not Working

See pages 30-33

• Make sure the batteries are not dead, or installed

incorrectly.

• If this does not work, try the reset procedure.

• Make sure the remote is set on the correct device display

for the component you are trying to control.

• Make sure that the buttons have not been erased or

learned over.

• Make sure that the PT-7010A front panel receiver

window is not obstructed.

Reset Procedure

The PT-7010A is a microprocessor controlled device of

great complexity. Occasional power fluctuations and spikes

may cause the PT-7010A to “lock up” or act strangely.

The PT-7010A can be reset as follows.

• On pages 56-58, write down your calibration settings,

input settings, Tuner presets, and any other settings you

have made.

• Check that the front or rear IR receivers have not been

turned off in the OSD CONTROL menu.

• Press the power button to turn the unit off, or turn it off

from the wall for a moment.

ZONE 2 Not Working

See pages 30 and 37

• Zone 2 is set “disabled” from the factory, so you must

use the OSD Zone 2 menu on page 37 to enable it when

• Press and continue to hold down the front panel Power

button and the Tone DOWN button at the same time.

The PT-7010A will power on and cycle through the

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

display. Keep holding the buttons down until “Resetting

to Factory Defaults” appears in the front panel display.

When the PT-7010A has been reset, it will shut off.

Turn the PT-7010Aback on and it will go to the default

screen. It has now been reset. If the PT-7010A has to

be reset regularly you should invest in a good quality

AC line conditioner or contact Sherbourn for technical

support.

If you are still having a problem, remember that

Sherbourn’s dealers and technical support staff will assist

you.

Other Probable Causes of Noise

• Speaker noise may also be caused by interference or

noise on your AC line. Make sure there are no large

appliances sharing the line, or halogen lamps or light-

dimming Triac devices.

Problems Updating PT-7010A Firmware

• Try connecting your system to another AC socket on a

separate line.

• Check that the serial cable is connected correctly

between the PT-7010Aand your computer’s serial port.

• If the hum is heard from within the PT-7010A and not

through the speakers, this may also be caused by

interference on the AC or DC lines. The power

transformers may turn this interference into an audible

noise. Internal hum can be made worse by a shelf or

cabinet resonating, so try moving the PT-7010A to

another shelf.

• Try moving your components further away from the

TV, especially if you ever notice the screen has changed

color in the area closest to the component.

If you have a Palm Pilot™ or similar device with

“HotSync™” or its equivalent, you may need to disable

this software before proceeding. This software ‘seizes’

control of a serial port on your machine and prevents the

Sherbourn software from accessing that port. Use another

port or disable HotSync.

For additional information regarding technical issues

encountered with updating the firmware of the PT-7010A,

visit the Sherbourn website at www.Sherbourn.com.

• If you have very high efficiency speakers, these may

tend to reveal noises which other speakers do not.

“Hum” Noises

This problem is more than likely caused by a “ground loop”

in your system, rather than a fault in the PT-7010A. Follow

these steps to isolate the main cause of the hum; there

may even be more than one. Remember to turn off all

components in your system, including the PT-7010A,

before disconnecting or connecting any cables.

Disconnect the following items in order, and check each

time if the hum has gone away:

• Disconnect all cables which come from outside the

room, such as cable TV, satellite TV, or roof top

antennas. Make sure that they are disconnected where

they first enter the room, so they are making no

connection to the PT-7010A or the TV, or any other

component. If the hum is caused by the cable TV line,

then you will need a “ground loop isolator.” This is an

inexpensive device fitted in line with the coaxial cable

feed. Contact your cable company or your Sherbourn

Dealer for assistance.

• Disconnect all connections from the PT-7010Ato your

TV.

• Disconnect any component which has a grounded

power cord.

• If the hum persists, disconnect all the source

components one at a time from the back of the PT-

7010A, until you identify the problem. (Ground loop

isolators are available for audio lines and video. Ask

your Sherbourn Dealer for assistance)

• Try moving the speaker cables away from any power

cords. Try just one speaker, connecting it to different

channels and see if an amplifier channel is bad.
