  • Page 19 Measuring random room positions When the focus position has been measured, the next step is to measure the acoustical properties of the room. It is important to perform well spaced measurements to get a comprehensive image of the acoustical properties of the room. See RoomPerfect™ troubleshooting if the measurement will stop prematurely.
  • Page 20 These are the rules of thumb when measuring the room: • the microphone should be in random and varying positions, heights, and orientations. Point it up/down/sideways, the more random positions the better. • the measurements should cover the entire room, not only your listening area. •...

    To stream audio from a Windows PC to the TDAI-2170, you need to install the Windows driver. The driver can be found on the USB key that came with the product and on Lyngdorf.com. Mac users do not need to install any drivers to stream audio to the TDAI-2170.

  • Page 25: Menu Walkthrough

    In general, the settings in these sub-menus are specifi cally for the current active input. Note: We recommend setting the output of a CD-player to 44.1 kHz. The TDAI-2170 will then get the original signal from the disc which allows for ICC (Intersamle Clipping Correction) to function.
  • Page 26 4.1.1 Active inputs Enables and disables individual inputs so you do not have to scroll through unused inputs. Note: To store the changes made, scroll to the right in the menu and press the “Enter” button when you see “Enter to continue” text. 4.1.2 Input name Changes the name of the selected input.
  • Page 27 Warning: Do not test this setting with a CD player or similar unregulated signal! This feature might be selected if you are using the TDAI-2170 in a home theater setup where it is used to power and calibrate the front speakers and/or subwoofer. Connect your home theater processor to the selected input.

When completed, the following menu items are available in the RoomPerfect™ setup menu. 4.2.2 Status This screen shows how many room measurements have been made, together with the RoomKnowledge and RoomCorrection index.
  • Page 29 A low RoomCorrection fi lter on the focus position could indicate that you have positioned your speakers in order to optimize the frequency response and not the timing. Check our guide to speaker positioning and complete a new RoomPerfect™ calibration. 4.2.3 Add focus position If you would like to add an additional focus position, the chair next to the couch perhaps, it can be done here.

    4.3 Volume 4.3.1. Default volume The default volume setting controls the default volume at startup. 4.3.2 Maximum volume The maximum volume setting is a safety precaution used for limiting the maximum volume which can be achieved by spinning the wheel or increasing volume via the remote. This can be set to protect your loudspeakers against overload.

  • Page 31: Hdmi

    Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) is an HDMI feature designed to allow you to command and control CEC-enabled devices that are connected through HDMI, by using only one of their remote controls (for example, controlling the TDAI-2170 audio by using the remote control of the TV).
  • Page 32 Enables and disables CEC audio system. When enabled the TDAI-2170 tells the TV to disable it´s built-in speaker and to use the ones connected to the TDAI-2170. Furthermore, this enables you to control the TDAI-2170 volume with the TV´s remote.
  • Page 33 Enables and disables HDMI audio output. This feature is only available if digital out is not in use. If enabled this feature will send the current digital audio signal though the HDMI cable to the TV. Disable if you want the TDAI-2170 to send the current audio signal to the digital output connector on the back.
  • Page 34 4.6.6 Input select OSD Enables and disables the On Screen Display on the selected HDMI input. 4.6.7 Volume control OSD Enables and disables the volume level On Screen Display. This allows you to remove the OSD if the position is confl icting with the OSD from the television.

    Auto If you don´t know how far your audio signal exceeds 0 dBFS, set it to auto. The TDAI-2170 will continuously adjust the ICC in order to avoid clipping. Changing inputs or going into standby mode will reset the ICC level. Setting ICC to auto will not have any drawback when compared to setting it manually.

  • Page 37: Second Speaker Setup

    5.5 Second Speaker Setup Here you have the option to store a second speaker setup. This will allow you to test another setup or to have calibrated setups with and without a subwoofer, etc. Enabling this will start the Guided Speaker Setup. When complete, the menu item Speaker Setup will be available in the main menu, allowing you to switch between the two setups.
  • Page 38 Note: If you change the output setting, you have to do a new RoomPerfect calibration. 5.6.1 Delays The available settings are: Distance If you are using a setup with speakers and/or subwoofers located at an identical distance to the listening position, you don’t need to set a distance.

  • Page 50: Roomperfect™ Troubleshooting

    RoomPerfect™ troubleshooting The calibration microphone is very sensitive and may pick up unwanted noise, including subsonic signals and background noise, which disturbs the measurements. If the signal is disturbed it will take longer for the system to make a correct measurement. A measurement that has been disturbed by noise but completed will always be correct, it is not necessary to redo it.
  • Page 51 Error: Signal clipping Either the incoming signal has been classifi ed as too loud, resulting in clipping or distortion, or a loud noise in the immediate environment has corrupted the measurement results. If a loud noise has in fact occurred, such as the sound of a closing door, reduce noise levels inside and in the immediate vicinity of the room and repeat the measurement.
  • Page 52 Error: Signal too low. This error message is displayed when the measurement has lasted more than 5 minutes for the low- frequency signal or more than 2 minutes for the high-frequency signal. This happens most often when using a low level measuring signal compared to the background noise in the listening environment, which results in prolonged measuring times.

  • Page 53: Cleaning And Maintenance

    Cleaning and maintenance The TDAI-2170 does not require any regular maintenance except to keep its exterior clean. Simply wipe it with a clean, soft cloth. A small amount of non-abrasive cleaner may be used on the cloth to remove any dirt or fi ngerprints. Do not use abrasive cleaners or cleaners containing liquid solvents.
