Speaker Setup
This menu tells the AVR which type of speakers
are in use. This is important as it adjusts the set-
tings that determine which speakers receive low-
frequency (bass) information. For each of these
settings use the
LARGE
setting if the speakers
for a particular position are traditional full-range
loudspeakers that are capable of reproducing
sounds below 200Hz. Use the
SMALL
setting
for smaller, frequency-limited satellite speakers
that do not reproduce sounds below 200Hz. Note
that when “small” speakers are used, a sub-
woofer is required to reproduce low-frequency
sounds. Remember that the “large” and “small”
descriptions do not refer to the actual physical
size of the speakers, but to their ability to repro-
duce low-frequency sounds. If you are in doubt as
to which category describes your speakers, con-
sult the specifications in the speakers’ owner’s
manual, or ask your dealer.
This menu screen also allows you to enter the
settings for the AVR’s Quadruple Crossover fea-
ture that allows a different crossover point to be
used for the front left/right, center, surround and
surround back speakers. In systems where full-
range or tower speakers are used for the front
soundstage or where different brands or models
are in use at the various speaker positions, this
feature allows you to custom tailor the bass man-
agement and redirection circuits with a precision
not previously possible.
At last, this menu also makes you chose if the
speaker setting will be the same for each input
source (
GLOBAL
), or will be set differently for
each input (
INDEPENDENT
).
Notes:
• When "Independent" is selected for the speak-
er settings (see below), they need to be made
for each input individually and you can deter-
mine which speaker should be used depending
on the input source selected. So it´s possible
e.g. to turn off the Center and/or the Sub with
any music source selected and to use them
with any movie input source.
• With the currently selected input all speaker
settings will be copied to all other surround
modes (as far as speakers are used with them)
and need not be repeated when another
surround mode is selected with that input.
First select any of the DTS Neo:6 modes as with
them all speakers and all speaker modes are
available. It is easiest to select these modes
directly, without the on-screen display, so press
the
OSD
button
L
to turn the on-screen dis-
play off if it is still visible. Then press the
DTS
Neo:6
button
on the remote.
It is easiest to enter the proper settings for the
speaker setup through the
SPEAKER
SETUP
menu (Figure 7). So press the
OSD
Button
L
to bring up the
AUDIO SETUP
(Figure 3), and then press the
¤
Button
E
until the cursor is on the
SPEAKER SETUP
line. At this point, press the
Set Button
F
to
bring up the
SPEAKER SETUP
menu
(Figure 7).
Figure 7
The first line of the
SPEAKER SETUP
menu
allows you to switch the menu to change either
the underlying speaker size setting or the exact
crossover point used for that speaker group if set
to "Small". For the first pass through the menu,
leave the setting at its default option of
SIZE
,
and then proceed as outlined below. Once the
speaker choices have been set you may wish to
return to this line to change the option so that the
crossover settings may be adjusted.
1. Before you start the speaker setting, you
should determine if you want all inputs being
configured with the same speaker size setting
(
GLOBAL
) or if all inputs should be configured
individually (
INDEPENDENT
).
To configure all inputs for "Global" or "Inde-
pendent" press the
⁄
Button
E
twice so that
the cursor is next to the
BASS MGR
line.
This setting allows you to use the same speaker
configuration for all inputs, or to have different
settings for each input. In most cases the factory
default setting of
GLOBAL
will be appropriate,
as most listeners do not need to have individual-
ized speaker settings. However, some listeners,
particularly those with full-range front speakers
that are used for both movies and music may
prefer that different speaker 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.
If you wish to customize the speaker size individ-
ually to each input, make certain that the cursor
is on the
BASS MGR
line and press the
‹
/
›
Buttons
E
so that
INDEPENDENT
appears. When this setting is entered all speaker
size settings will be shown with their factory
default size in the menu and all other inputs will
turn to
INDEPENDENT
too. Now you should
enter the speaker size settings prefered for the
input selected, as described below. Remember
that in this case the size settings just entered will
apply to the current input ONLY, and you will
need to go back to the
IN/OUT
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 set of speaker configu-
ration different from the default settings.
NOTE:
The independent feature allows you to
select a different speaker size configuration
(Large, Small or None, as appropriate) for each
input source. However, the individual crossover
point setting may only be set once, and the selec-
tion made during the initial setup will be used for
all inputs, regardless of any changes made to the
“Large” or “Small” settings for the speaker
groups attached to any input. The reason is that
while you may prefer different settings for the
bass redirection (that is, which signals go to the
subwoofer or the speaker group), the actual
crossover point remains the same since the actual
loudspeakers themselves remain the same
regardless of any other setting.
2. Begin the speaker size setup process by making
certain that the cursor is pointing toward the
LEFT/RIGHT
line, which sets the configura-
tion for the front left and right speakers. If you
wish to make a change to the front speakers’ con-
figuration, press the
‹
/
›
Buttons
E
so that
either
LARGE
or
SMALL
appears, matching
the appropriate description from the definitions
shown above.
When
SMALL
is selected, low-frequency front
channel sounds will be sent only to the subwoofer
output. If you choose this option and there is no
subwoofer connected, you will not hear any low-
frequency sounds with front channel signals.
When
LARGE
is selected, a full-range output
will be sent to the front left and front right out-
puts. Depending on the choice made in the
SUBWOOFER
line in this menu (see below),
the front left and right bass information may also
be directed to the subwoofer.
NOTE:
When the front speakers are set to the
LARGE
option and the surround mode is set to
"Surround Off", or pure two-channel stereo,
when an analog signal source is present it will be
routed directly from the input to the volume con-
trol without being digitized or processed. If you
have full-range front speakers and wish to
remove all digital processing from the circuit
path, select this configuration. If you wish to set
this option for use with only one input, such as a
CD player that uses an external DAC or an
optional, external phono preamp, you must
choose the
INDEPENDENT
setting on the
BASS MGR
line at the bottom of this menu so
that only those inputs where the analog bypass is
desired will be routed in this fashion, while other
analog inputs such as a VCR or cable box will be
digitized for surround processing.
