This control is available on
both the front panel and the
remote control. It allows
manual selection when the
user repeatedly presses and
releases the button for any of
the ESC333’s four inputs. The
ESC333 features an Automatic
Digital Input Selection
feature that automatically
switches the ESC333 to the
source connected to one of
its two digital inputs as soon
as that device is powered on.
Please read the section on
page 3 to thoroughly familiar-
ize yourself with the conve-
niences and conditions of
using the Automatic Digital
Input Selection feature. The
Input switch is also used
when the source connected to
the ESC333’s analog input is
not the analog source that
was listened to the last time
the ESC333 was on (and
hence the Automatic Turn-On
feature is not available). The
Input switch also turns on
the ESC333 when pressed (see
item 1 earlier in this section).
Whenever a specific input is
selected either manually or
automatically, its indicator
(14, 15, 16 or 17) on the
ESC333’s front panel will be
illuminated.

of the center channel, all the
way from the default setting
of 0 ms (milliseconds), which

(30) will be on. The second
press of the Delay button
allows adjustments of the
surround speakers; indicators
LS (28) and RS (28) and DLY
(30) will be on. The delay can
be adjusted from zero (all
status bars off) to 15 ms
(all status bars on) in 5.1
Channel Dolby Digital and
from 15 ms (all status bars
off) to 30 ms (all status bars
on) in Dolby Pro Logic (there
is an inherent and fixed
15 ms of delay added in the
“matrixed” Dolby Pro Logic to
re-create the proper surround
effect). The center and sur-
round delay adjustments can
be done from either Dolby
Digital or Dolby Pro Logic
“matrixed” modes. There are
no separate delay adjustments
for the individual modes of
operation. During adjust-
ments, the audio mutes
momentarily every time the
Adjustment +/– button (11)
is pressed. Please note that
the status-bar indicator (27)
will not display unless
Adjustment +/– buttons are
pressed. Also, while the
status-bar indicator (27) is
on, channel indicators (28)
and DLY (30) will not be
displayed. And, if adjust-
ments are done in a mode
where a certain channel is
not available, the adjustment
step for that channel is
skipped. For example, in
Phantom mode, the center-
channel delay cannot be
adjusted since Phantom does
not have a center channel.
In Stereo, neither the center
nor the surround delay can be
adjusted since Stereo does
not feature surround speakers
or a center speaker. A third
press of the Delay button will
exit the ESC333 from its
delay-adjustment mode.
