this menu, bass and/or LFE information may also be
directed to the subwoofer.
When you have completed your selection for the front
channel, press the
¤
Navigation Button
o
on the
remote to move the cursor to
CENTER
.
Press the
‹

›
Navigation Button
o
on the
remote to select the option that best describes your sys-
tem, based on the speaker definitions shown below.
When
SMALL
is selected, low-frequency center
channel sounds will be sent only to the subwoofer out-
put. If you choose this option and there is no subwoofer
connected, you will not hear low-frequency sounds from
the center channel.
When
LARGE
is selected, a full-range signal will be
sent to the center speaker output, and NO center
channel signal will be sent to the subwoofer output.
When
NONE
is selected, no signals will be sent to
the center channel output. The receiver will operate in
a “phantom” center channel mode and center channel
information will be sent to the left and right front chan-
nel outputs. When only front left and right speakers are
used, with no center or surround speakers, Dolby
Virtual Speaker is a good alternative mode.
When you have completed your selection for the cen-
ter channel, press the

on
the remote to move the cursor to
SURROUND
.
Press the
‹

›
Navigation Button
o
on the remote
to select the option that best describes the surround
speakers in your system based on the speaker
definitions shown on this page.
When
SMALL
is selected, low-frequency surround
channel sounds will be sent to the subwoofer output
only. If you choose this option and there is no sub-
woofer connected, you will not hear any low-frequency
sounds from the surround channels.
When
LARGE
is selected, a full-range signal
will be sent to the surround channel outputs, and
NO surround channel signals will be sent to the
subwoofer output.
When
NONE
is selected, surround sound informa-
tion will be split between the front left and front right
outputs. For optimal performance when no surround
speakers are in use, the Dolby Virtual Speaker mode
should be used.
When you have completed your selections for the
main surround channels, press the
¤
Navigation
Button
o
on the remote to move the cursor to
SURR BACK
. This line serves two functions:
It not only configures the setting for the surround
back channels when they are present; it also tells
the AVR 635’s processing system to configure the
unit for either 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 operation.
Press the
‹
/
›
Navigation Button
o
on the
remote to select the option that best describes the
speakers in use at the left and right back surround
positions based on the definitions on this page:
When
NONE
is selected, the system will adjust so
that only 5.1-channel surround processing/decoding
modes are available and the surround back amplifier
channels will not be used. When this is the case for
your system, you may wish to take advantage of the
availability of this amplifier channel pair for use in pow-
ering a second set of speakers that have their source
selected by the AVR 635’s multiroom control system.
See page 36 for more information.
When
SMALL
is selected, the system will adjust so
that the full complement of 6.1/7.1 surround processing/
decoding modes are available, and low-frequency
information below the crossover point will be sent to
the subwoofer output. If you choose this option and
there is no subwoofer connected, you will not hear
any low-frequency sounds from the surround back
channels.
When
LARGE
is selected, the system will adjust so
that the full complement of 6.1/7.1 surround process-
ing/decoding modes are available, and a full-range
signal will be sent to the surround back channels, with
no low-frequency information sent to the subwoofer
output.
When you have completed your selection for the
back surround channels, press the

on the remote to move the cursor to
SUB MODE
.
Press the
‹

Navigation Button

on the
remote to select the option that best describes your
system.
The choices available for the subwoofer position will
depend on the settings for the other speakers, particu-
larly the front left/right positions.
If the front left/right speakers are set to
SMALL
,
the subwoofer will automatically be set to
SUB
,
which is the “on” position.
If the front left/right speakers are set to
LARGE
,
three options are available:
• If no subwoofer is connected to the AVR 635,
press the
‹
/
›
Navigation Button
o
on the
remote so that
NONE
appears in the on-screen
menu. When this option is selected, all bass infor-
mation will be routed to the front left/right “main”
speakers.
• If a subwoofer is connected to the AVR 635, you
have the option to have the front left/right “main”
speakers reproduce bass frequencies at all times,
and have the subwoofer operate only when the
AVR 635 is being used with a digital source that
contains a dedicated low-frequency effects, or LFE
soundtrack. This allows you to use both your main
and subwoofer speakers to take advantage of the
special bass sounds created for some movies.
Press

›
Navigation Button
o
on the
remote so that
SUB (LFE)
appears in the
on-screen menu.
• If a subwoofer is connected and you wish to use it
for bass reproduction in conjunction with the main
front left/right speakers, regardless of the type of
program source or Surround mode you are listen-
ing to, press the
‹
/
›
Navigation Button
o
on
the remote so that
SUB L/R+LFE
appears
in the on-screen menu. When this option is select-
ed, a full-range signal will be sent to the front
left/right “main” speakers, and the subwoofer will
receive LFE information and the bass frequencies
under the selected crossover point.
After making any required changes to the Subwoofer
Mode line, press the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Button
o
to move the cursor to the
SUB SIZE
line. The
setting on this line enters the data of the size of your
subwoofer’s driver so that the proper gain, filters and
equalization settings will be used with EzSet/EQ.
To change the setting, make certain that the cursor is
on the
SUB SIZE
line and press the
⁄

o
, so that the setting appears
that matches the diameter of your subwoofer’s driver.
If you do not remember what the size is, you can
either measure the driver’s diameter or consult the
owner’s manual for the speaker.
When you have completed the settings for speaker
“size”, press the
⁄

¤
Navigation Button
o
to
move the cursor to the
BACK TO MANUAL
SETUP
line to continue your adjustments. It is also
important to remember to re-run the EzSet/EQ system
if any changes have been made to the settings on this
menu, following the instructions shown on page 24 for
using the Manual mode.
Speaker Crossover Setting
When all speaker “size” settings have been made,
you now have the option to take advantage of the
AVR 635’s Quadruple Crossover system, which allows
individual crossover settings to be made for each
speaker grouping. The low-frequency crossover point
is set by the design of your speakers. Depending on
the design and driver complement of your speakers, it
is defined as the frequency which is either the lowest
possible frequency the speaker is capable of repro-
ducing, or the frequency at which sound is sent to the
