the remote so that

SUB L/R+LFE

appears

in the on-screen menu. When this option is
selected, a full-range signal will be sent to the
front left/right “main” speakers. The subwoofer
will receive the front left and right bass frequen-
cies under the crossover frequency selected in
another setting on this menu, as described
below, and also the LFE soundtrack.

9. When all initial speaker “size” settings have been
made, you now have the option to take advantage
of the AVR’s Quadruple Crossover system, which
allows individual crossover settings to be made for
each speaker grouping set to "Small". The low-fre-
quency crossover point is set by the design of your
speakers. It is defined as the frequency which is the
lowest possible frequency the speaker is capable of
reproducing. Before making any changes to the set-
tings for the crossover point we suggest that you
find the crossover point for the speakers in each of
the four groupings, front left/right, center, surround
and surround back by looking at the specifications
page of the speaker’s owner’s manual, by getting
that information from the manufacturer’s Web site,
or by contacting your dealer or the manufacturer’s
customer service department. You will need this fig-
ure to accurately configure the next group of set-
tings.

The factory default setting for all speaker positions is
100Hz. If that setting is acceptable for all channels,
then no adjustments are needed and you may skip
this section. However, should you wish to change
one of the settings, please proceed by pressing the

⁄

Button

so that the cursor moves back up

to the top of the list of setting options. Press the

‹

›

Buttons

so that

X-OVER

is highlighted

and the menu data will change to the screen shown
in Figure 5.

Figure 5

To change the setting for any of the four speaker
groups Left/Right, Center, Surrounds or Surround
Back, press the

⁄

Buttons

until the cur-

sor is next to the line where you wish to make a
change and then press the

‹

›

Buttons

until the desired setting appears. The available
choices at which point low-frequency information
will be sent to the subwoofer (or to the Front
Left/Right speakers in case subwoofer is set to
OFF), rather than to the speaker channel, are
40Hz, 60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz and 200Hz.
Pick the choice that is identical to the information

for the speakers, or if an exact match is not possi-
ble, pick the closest choice that is ABOVE the
speaker’s lowfrequency limit to avoid the creation
of a low-frequency “hole” where your system will
have no bass information.

In cases where

LARGE

has been selected as the

front channel speaker option and

LFE+L/R

has been selected as the subwoofer option, the
front channel sound information below the cross-
over point selected for the L/R front speakers
(when fronts are set to "Small") will be sent to
BOTH the front channel speakers and the sub-
woofer.

When all speakers are set to

LARGE

the

crossover point for the fronts (selectable when
they are set to "Small") will affect the LFE signal
and the bass support for the front speakers by the
sub (when the sub is set to L/R+LFE, see above)
only. In that case the default value "100Hz"
should be kept or selected for the crossover point
for the L/R fronts (selectable when they are
"Small") as it´s indicated (and marked by *)
behind the

LEFT/RIGHT

line in the speaker

setup menu when the X-OVER option is selected.

10. When all speaker selections have been made,
press the

Button

until the cursor is next

to the

BACK T O MASTER MENU

line and

press the

Set Button

to return to the Main

menu.

11. The Speaker Configuration may also be
changed at any time without using the full-OSD
on-screen menu system by pressing the

Speaker

Selector

on the front panel or

on the

remote control. Once the button is pressed,

FRONT SPEAKER

will appear in both the

lower third of the video display and the

Main

Information Display

Within five seconds, either press the

buttons

on the front panel or the

on the remote to select a different speaker

position, or press the

to begin

the adjustment process for the front left and right
speakers.

When the

Set

button

has been pressed

and the system is ready for a change to the front
speaker setting, the on-screen display and

Main

Information Display

will read

FRONT

FRONT SMALL

depending on

the current setting. Press the

buttons

on the front panel or the

⁄

the remote until the desired setting is shown,
using the instructions for “large” or “small”
shown earlier, then press the

Set

button

If another speaker position needs to be changed,
press the

‹

on the front panel

or the

⁄

on the remote to select

a different speaker position, press the

Set

and then the

on the

front panel or the

on the

remote until the correct speaker setting is shown

and press the

Set

button

again to con-

firm the selection.

To assist in making these settings, the icons in the

Speaker/Channel Input Indicators

will

change as the speaker type is selected at each
position. When only the inner icon box is lit, the
speaker is set for “small.” When the inner box and
the two outer boxes with circles inside them are
lit, the speaker is set for “large." When no indica-
tor appears at a speaker location, that position is
set for “none” or “no” speaker.

Note:

These icons are available only when

making setup changes without the use of the full
OSD mode.

As an example, in the Figure below, all speakers
are set for “large,” and a subwoofer is set.

Surround Setup

Once the speaker setup has been completed, the
next step for that input is to set the surround
mode you wish to use with that input. Since sur-
round modes are a matter of personal taste, feel
free to select any mode you wish – you may
change it later. The Surround Mode chart on page
29 may help you select the mode best suited to
the input source selected. For example you may
select Dolby Pro Logic II or Logic 7 for most ana-
log inputs and Dolby Digital for inputs connected
to digital sources. In the case of inputs such as a
CD Player, Tape Deck or Tuner, you may wish to set
the mode to Stereo, if that is your preferred listen-
ing mode for standard stereo sources, where it is
unlikely that surround encoded material will be
used. Alternatively, the 5 Channel Stereo or Logic 7
Music mode may also be a good choice for
stereo-only source material.
