that is higher in frequency than your subwoofer is
capable of reproducing. To prevent unwanted sounds
from being sent to subwoofers that cannot handle
them and which do not have a built-in low-pass filter,
the

LFE

option line enables you to select a setting

for the low-pass filter that is part of the subwoofer
feed from the LFE channel.

The settings available are the same as those tied to
any one of the four available speaker positions on this
menu. We recommend that you use the frequency that
is just slightly higher than the upper capability limit of
your subwoofer, as shown in the sub's Owner's
Manual. When the cursor is on the

LFE

line, press

the

‹

›

Navigation Buttons

to choose the

appropriate setting.

When all crossover settings have been made, or in
those cases where none are needed, press the

Button

so that the cursor is next to the

BASS

MGR

line to make the final setting on this menu.

This setting allows you to use the same speaker size
configuration for all inputs, or to have different settings
for each input. In most cases the factory default set-
ting of

GLOBAL

will be appropriate, as most lis-

teners do not need to have individualized speaker set-
tings. However, some listeners, particularly those with
full-range front speakers that are used for both movies
and music, may prefer that different bass management
settings be used when listening to music through a CD
player as opposed to a movie from a DVD player, VCR
or cable/satellite set-top.

To customize the speaker setting for each input, make
certain that the

MODE

line of the

SPEAKER

SETUP

menu is set to

SIZE

, and that the cur-

sor is on the

BASS MGR

line, and press the

‹

Buttons

so that

INDEPENDENT

appears

in highlighted video. When this setting is entered by
exiting the menu, the configuration settings just
entered will apply to the current input ONLY, and you
will need to go back to the

INPUT SETUP

menu to select another input, and then return to this
menu page again to change the settings for the next
input. Repeat the procedure for any input where you
wish to have a different set of speaker configuration
and crossover settings.

When all speaker selections have been made, press
the

Button

and then the

return to the

Delay Settings

Due to the different distances between the listening
position for the front channel speakers and the sur-
round speakers, the amount of time it takes for sound
to reach your ears from the front versus surround
speakers differs. You may compensate for this differ-
ence through the use of the delay settings to adjust

the timing for the speaker placement and acoustic
conditions in your listening room or home theater.

If you have already calibrated your system using
EzSet+ the delay settings shown will reflect the results
of the measurements made by EzSet+. No further
changes are needed unless you wish to change an
item to reflect your taste or a nonstandard system
configuration. To change the settings, follow the
instructions below to enter the distance between the
speaker’s location and your main listening position.
The measurements need not be accurate to the inch,
as the system is designed to accommodate typical
listening rather than a specific “sweet spot” position.

In addition to adjusting the delay time for each individ-
ual speaker position, the AVR 335 allows you to adjust
the delay for the combined output of all speakers as a
group. This feature is called A/V Sync Delay; it allows
you to compensate for delays to the video image that
may be caused by the processing in products such as
digital video displays, video scalers, digital cable or
satellite systems, or personal video recorders. With
proper adjustment of the setting for A/V Sync Delay,
you can eliminate the loss of lip sync that may be
caused by digital video applications.

Although EzSet+ calculates the delay settings for the
individual speaker positions with very accurate results,
the setting for A/V Sync Delay may only be done
manually, since it requires that you observe the pro-
gram material on your video display while adjusting the
delay, if any, required for the specific source. Thus,
even though you may have used EzSet+ for other
delay settings, the A/V Sync Delay should still be con-
figured as outlined below.

Due to the differences in the way surround modes
operate, some allow for a wider range of delay times
than others. We recommend that delay times be
adjusted using the Dolby Digital mode. If a different
mode is selected at a later time, the AVR 335 will
automatically restrict the delay settings to those
required by the surround mode in use.

Delay times are only adjustable for the Dolby modes,
so you will notice that the

DELAY

menu may not

be accessed when any other mode, such as a DTS or
Logic 7 option, has been selected. In addition, when
a non-Dolby Digital mode such as Dolby 3 Stereo or
Pro Logic II is selected, adjustments may be made to
the Surround speakers only.

To set the delay time for a specific input, the

DELAY ADJUST

menu (Figure 10) should be

visible on your on-screen display. If the system is not
already at that point, press the

OSD Button

bring up the

MASTER MENU

, press the

Button

until the on-screen

›

cursor is pointing at

the

DELAY ADJUST

line. Press the

Set

Button

to call up the menu.

NOTE:

In order to adjust the Delay settings for the

surround back channels, a Dolby Digital or DTS source
must be playing. This enables the system to activate
the surround back processing mode.

Once the

DELAY ADJUST

menu is shown,

note that the default setting to enter the distances
from the speakers to the listening position is in feet. If
your measurements are in feet, proceed to the next
step; if your measurements are made in meters, press
the

Button

until the on-screen

›

cursor is at

the

UNIT

line on the menu. Then, press the

‹

Buttons

so that

METER

is highlighted. When

the change in measurement units is made, press the

to return the

cursor to the

cursor pointing to

press the

until the

distance from the front speakers to the preferred
listening position appears. Next, press the

If you wish to reset the delay settings to their factory
defaults at any time,

Figure 10, will then be restored.

With the on-screen

cursor pointing to

, press

the

Buttons

until the distance from the

center speaker to the preferred listening position is
entered. Repeat the procedure for all active speaker
positions, first using the

to change to the next position, and then use the

‹

Navigation Button

to change the setting. Note

that only the speaker positions that have been set to

LARGE

SMALL

in the

SPEAKER

SETUP

menu, as shown on page 20, may be

adjusted. The appearance of three dashes next to a
speaker position in place of a distance setting indi-
cates that you have not configured an active speaker
for that location.

When the delay time for all speaker positions has
been set you may return to the master menu by
pressing the
