5.1 Decoder Module  
The 5.1 Decoder module forms  
the core of the M51’s audio  
processing with all functions,  
which the puristic Stereo and  
the inspired home cinema  
listener expects. It monitors and  
controls all the audio signals; it  
generates all the home cinema  
signals and sends them on to  
the outputs.  
The 5.1 Decoder Module  
handles the conversion of the  
symmetrical analogue signals in  
ultra-linear stereo operation.  
From here, it also goes through  
gold-coated silver contact relays  
to the output stages.  
A further task, which the  
5.1 Decoder Module handles is  
the connection of three digital  
sources. In this case, you can  
either feed the digital signals in  
using an optical fibre or coax  
cable.  
You can use all normal audio  
formats such as Dolby  
Surround, Dolby Pro Logic II,  
Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG  
with the 5.1 Decoder Module,  
naturally in high resolution 24  
bit as well.  
L Important  
These signals are also made  
available to external devices  
through 6 cinch sockets.  
The 5.1 Decoder module plays  
a very significant role for the  
whole system. Since it  
represents the Audio Control  
Centre, the system will not  
operate without the decoder  
module.  
Additionally, using the Lipsync  
function, a time delay of up to  
170 ms can be defined for the  
audio signal.

Installation  
The 5.1 Decoder plug-in card  
has the most modern  
technology on it and should be  
handled with care.  
To be on the safe side, you  
should discharge any static  
from yourself by touching an  
earthed metal object such as a  
radiator.  
Before you start to install the  
card, the M51 must be switched  
off and the power plug must be  
removed from the power socket.  
Remove the decoder module  
from its packaging and insert it  
into the slot position, using the  
two tracks within the M51 to  
guide it into position. The  
Slot 7 is reserved for the  
Decoder module, right next to  
the speaker connections. No  
other module should be plugged  
in to this slot because this  
provides the shortest possible  
signal route to the outputs.  
lettering on the card must be at  
the top. Just before the card is  
fully inserted, you will feel a  
certain mechanical resistance  
as the card meets the M51  
contact strip. Push the card fully  
home by pushing in the area  
where the 2 screw holes are  
located and fix it in place with  
the two screws.  
Loosen the two screws with the  
TORX screwdriver supplied and  
remove the slot blanking plate.  
Before removing the Decoder  
module from its packaging,  
make sure that you are not  
charged with any static  
electricity. This could cause a  
damaging power discharge  
when you touch the module.  
All further steps needed to  
integrate the new module into  
the M51 will be carried out  
automatically next time the unit  
is switched on.

Sound field description  
Pro Logic II is a further  
development of Dolby Pro Logic  
and was developed especially  
for the surround-sound  
playback of pure stereo  
sources, alongside the other  
well-known decoding of Pro  
Logic sound material (mainly  
films).  
When you play a DVD, whether  
using the M51's internal drive or  
an external device over DIGITAL  
IN, the 5.1 audio format that the  
DVD requires is automatically  
selected. These are:  
Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG  
In this case, all other surround  
sound programmes are blocked.  
With Pro Logic II, this part  
handles the Music sound field,  
with the freely definable  
parameters Center Width,  
Dimension and Panorama.  
Through this, you get a realistic,  
enveloping sound, which you  
would expect from 1 5.1  
Channel System. It greatly  
enriches the usual stereo sound  
that you get from the Dolby  
Digital multi-channel system.  
Movie  
The Movie mode has been  
optimised for use with films or  
programmes with a sound track  
in Dolby Surround. It is also  
suitable for video games. Movie  
mode has all the important  
properties of Pro Logic, while  
the Stereo Surround outputs,

Center Width  
Music  
This parameter allows you to  
define the centre settings,  
allowing you to choose to hear  
the centre range just from the  
Center speaker, to hear it as a  
"phantom centre" using the right  
and lefthand speakers or to set-  
up a combination of all three  
speakers.  
With pure stereo music  
recordings, the Music mode  
delivers a new level of live  
atmosphere, which satisfies the  
most discerning listener. You  
can set up every conceivable  
combination of settings using  
the Center Width, Dimension  
and Panorama parameters.  
Depending on the requirements  
of your living room, you can  
choose, for instance, to have a  
partial mixture of the three front  
speakers or a wider or more  
compact sound picture.  
The choice of parameters is  
made through the second Menu  
page of Music.  
Dimension  
This parameter allows you to  
position the sound field more to  
the back or to the front. This  
enables you to get a better  
balance between the speakers  
with different recordings.  
Panorama mode  
This mode widens the output  
from the front speakers. In  
combination with the surround  
boxes, this gives you a  
fascinating and enveloping  
effect with those sounds that  
are located at the edges of the  
sound picture.

Re:source  
A) Adjusting the Subwoofer  
Resetting the level  
Unlike the normal passive  
speakers that are connected to  
the M51 speaker outputs, active  
subwoofers have their own  
volume control.  
Level settings can be reset to  
the neutral mid-position with the  
Reset key.  
To set the correct basic volume,  
you should first bring the  
subwoofer level to the neutral  
mid-position with the Reset key.  
Then you should adjust the  
volume at the subwoofer itself to  
suit your listening position.  
L
The right basic volume setting  
for the subwoofer is achieved  
when the subwoofer doesn’t  
dominate the sound picture but  
nevertheless gives a sustained  
support to the bass tone ranges.  
Speakers, like the Center in the  
above example, which are  
deactivated in the basic  
settings, are identified by the  
text -Not Used-.  
The basic volume setting for all  
speakers is set through the  
Setup Adjusting volume menu.  
Tip: Automatic switch-on  
Many active subwoofers have a  
function that automatically switches  
the subwoofer on as soon as there  
is a bass signal with a particular  
level.  
If your subwoofer doesn’t switch on  
automatically at normal room  
volume levels, because the bass  
signal is too low, you could  
increase the level on the subwoofer  
output through the amplifier menu,  
until the auto switch-on function is  
activated. After this, of course, the  
volume at the subwoofer must be  
adjusted again.

D) Lipsync Delay  
You can adjust the time delay in  
steps of 5 ms using the two  
softkeys – Delay +. To do this,  
you are advised to select a DVD  
which features drums or other  
percussion instruments. This is  
the easiest way to be able to  
synchronise picture and sound  
with each other.  
Using the Lipsync Delay  
setting, you can modify the  
timing of the audio signal, to  
allow for the time delay of the  
video signal caused by the  
system. Because of the digital  
calculations required for the  
picture signal in the plasma or  
LCD screen, the sound signal  
can get ahead of the picture  
signal. This can be seen, for  
example, when the lip move-  
ments are no longer synchro-  
nous to the sound. Using the  
Lipsync function, the sound can  
also be delayed sufficiently, that  
the picture and the sound get  
back in sync.  
Lipsync in Multiroom system  
In Multiroom operation, the M51  
and the rooms in Zone 1 share  
a common audio source, i.e.  
both play the same source. This  
is particularly advantageous in  
open living areas, where the  
rooms in Zone 1 adjoin the main  
room with the M51.  
This time delay can be set in a  
range from 0 – 170 ms.  
If the M51 audio signal ex-  
periences a delay through the  
5.1 Decoder module, the M51  
will transmit its sound later than  
that in the rooms of Zone 1.  
This time delay will be per-  
ceived as an echo in the  
adjoining rooms.  
The Lipsync function appears  
as the last menu field within the  
Amplifier menu and affects all  
sources that the M51 can play.  
The Lipsync function is not  
available in the Pure Analog  
sound field.

In the same way as with the  
centre speaker, the M51 only  
allows a certain distance range  
in relation to the main speakers  
Example:  
Selected distance:  
and  
= 4.5 m  
Optimum distance:  
and  
= 0.0 – 4.5 m  
If you can't position the  
surround speakers within this  
distance range, just choose the  
nearest alternative distance  
available to you.

Adjusting amplifier power  
The following table shows you the  
relative volume reductions and the  
remaining power:  
The M51 can be equipped with  
two outputs with different power  
levels; either an analogue  
output [5 x 60 watt] or the more  
powerful digital alternative [5 x  
200 watt].

If you want to connect speakers  
to the digital output, which are  
not set up for this power level,  
there is a menu point in the  
Setup menu where you can  
adjust the output power level.  
Example Analogue output  
Reduction: –2 dB  
Power: 80% of 60W = 48W  
The three screenshots below  
show you three of the six power  
steps that can be selected:

Reduction: –2 dB  
Power: 80% of 200W = 160W  
Volume display  
The reduction in volume is  
visible in the display field if you  
select a volume that is higher  
than the reduction; the volume  
bars flash in the corresponding  
area as shown in grey in the  
following graphic:  
The power adjustment can be  
used for the analogue and the  
digital outputs and is applied  
equally over all five channels.
