SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

• 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 listening to, press the
‹
/
›
Buttons
E'
on the remote so that
S U B
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, and also to the LFE sound-
track. The subwoofer will receive the front left
and right bass frequencies under the crossover
frequency selected in the next option setting
on this menu, as described below.
9. When you have completed your selection for the
subwoofer, press the
¤
Button
D
on the
remote to change the cursor to
SUB X -
OVER FREQ
. The subwoofer crossover set-
ting may only be adjusted using the on-screen
display system.
At this line, you will select the frequency under
which bass information is directed to the
Subwoofer Output
∞
and above which the
remaining signal is directed to all speakers that
are set to
SMALL
. The choices available will
depend on the setting made previously for the
front left/right speakers. When making these
selections, choose the crossover frequency that is
closest to the lower frequency limit of your front
left/right speakers. This figure is normally printed
in the owner’s manual or data sheet for the
speakers; or consult the speaker’s manufacturer.
• When the front speakers have been set to
LARGE
, the crossover choices are
4 0 H z
or
6 0 H z
to match the typical crossover
points of full range speakers. When you use
large full range front speakers, able to repro-
duce bass below 40Hz with sufficient power,
choose 40 Hz, otherwise select 60 Hz.
• When the front speakers have been set to
SMALL
, the crossover choices are
8 0 H z
or
1 0 0 H z
to match the typical crossover
points of the smaller speakers used in satellite
speaker systems. Choose the option that is
closest to your speakers’ design.
10. When all speaker selections have been made,
press the
¤
Button
D
and then the
Set
Button
F
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
Select
button on the remote
(
. Once the but-
ton is pressed,
FNT SPEAKER
will appear
in both the lower third of the video display and
the
Main Information Display

.
Within five seconds, either press

buttons
D
on the remote to select a different speaker
position, or press the
Set
Button
@
F
to
begin the adjustment process for the front left
and right speakers.
When the
Set
button
@
F
has been pressed
and the system is ready for a change to the front
speaker setting, the on-screen display and
Main
Information Display
Y
will read
F N T
L A R G E
or
F N T S M A L L
depending on
the current setting. Press the
⁄
/
¤
buttons
D
on the remote until the desired setting is shown,
using the instructions for “large” or “small”
shown earlier, then press the
Set
button
@
F
.
If another speaker position needs to be changed,
press the
⁄
/
¤
buttons
D
on the remote to
select a different speaker position, press the
Set
button
@
F
and then the
⁄
/
¤
buttons
D
on the remote until the correct speaker set-
ting is shown and press the
Set
button
@
F
again to confirm the selection.
To assist in making these settings, the icons in
the
Speaker/Channel Input Indicators
Q
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
indicator appears at a speaker location, that
position is set for “none” or “no” speaker.
Note:
These icons are available only when mak-
ing 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
28 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
listening mode for standard stereo sources,
where it is unlikely that surround encoded materi-
al will be used. Alternatively, the 5 Channel Stereo
or Logic 7 Music mode may also be a good
choice for stereo-only source material.
It is easiest to complete the surround setup using
the full-OSD on-screen menus. From the
MAS-
TER
menu (Figure 1), press the
⁄
/
¤
buttons
D
until the
›
cursor is next to the
SUR-
ROUND SELECT
menu. Press the
Set
Button
F
so that the
SURROUND
SELECT
menu (Figure 4) is on the screen.
Figure 4
The first line on the
SURROUND
SELECT
menu allows you to configure the
AVR for either standard 5.1 or advanced 6.1/7.1
operation. With the on-screen
›
cursor at the
SURR MODE
line, press the
Set Button
F
and then press the
‹
or
›
Buttons
E'
so that
5.1
is highlighted if you have no sur-
round back speakers installed, or
6.1/7.1
if
you have one or two speakers connected to the
Surround Back Preamp Outputs
through
optional, external power amplifiers.
Making this selection will set the surround mode
options for the AVR so that only the correct
modes for the number of speakers in your specif-
ic system will be available. Should you change
your system and add additional speakers at a
later date, it is important to change this setting
so that advanced surround modes such as 7
Channel Stereo, Logic 7/7.1, DTS-ES 6.1 Discrete
and Matrix, DTS+NEO:6, and DTS NEO:6 will be
available.
Important Note:
As this 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 selec-
tion is a basic configuration for your system it
will be effective with all inputs and need not be
repeated with all other inputs in use. Moreover
this setting is linked with the Surround Back
Speaker selection outlined on page 22, both
settings will turn on ("6.1/7.1") or off ("5.1")
these speakers in the same manner.
