SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

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 speaker

settings (see below), they need to be made for
each input individually and you can determine
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 set-

tings 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 avail-
able. It is easiest to select these modes directly,
without the on-screen display, so press the

OSD

button

to turn the on-screen display 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 4). So press the

OSD

Button

to bring up the

MASTER MENU

(Figure 1), and then press the

Button

twice so that the cursor is on the

SPEAKER

SETUP

line. At this point, press the

Set Button

to bring up the

SPEAKER SETUP

(Figure 4).

Figure 4

The first line of the

SPEAKER SETUP

(Figure 4) 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

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 pre-
fer 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 individu-
ally to each input, make certain that the cursor is
on the

BASS MGR

line and press the

‹

›

Buttons

so that

INDEPENDENT

appears in highlighted video. 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 set-
tings 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 proce-
dure for any input where you wish to have a set
of speaker configuration different from the default
settings.

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’ configura-
tion, press the

‹

›

Buttons

so that either

LARGE

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 outputs.
Depending on the choice made in the

SUB-

WOOFER

line in this menu (see below), the front

left and right bass information may also be direct-
ed 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

INDE-

PENDENT

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.

Important Note:

When a speaker set with a

subwoofer and two front satellites connected to
the Sub´s speaker outputs is used, the Sub´s inputs
must be connected to the

Front speaker out-

puts

and

LARGE

must be selected for the

front speakers (and

NONE

for the subwoofer, see

below).

3. When you have completed your selection for the
front channel, press the

Button

on the

remote to move the cursor to

CENTER

4. Press the

‹

›

Buttons

on the remote to

select the option that best describes your center
speaker, based on the speaker definitions shown
below.

When

SMALL

is selected, low-frequency center

channel sounds will be sent to the Fronts, if they
are set to

LARGE

and Sub is turned off (see

below). When Sub is on, low frequency center
channel sounds will be sent to the subwoofer only.

When

LARGE

is selected, a full-range output

will be sent to the center speaker output, and NO
center channel signal will be sent to the sub-
woofer output (except when the Pro Logic II Music
mode is in use).

NOTE:

If you choose Logic 7 as the surround

mode for the particular input source for which you
are configuring your speakers, the DPR will not
make the LARGE option available for the center
speaker. This is due to the requirements of Logic 7
processing, and does not indicate a problem with
your receiver.

When

NONE

is selected, no signals will be sent

to the center-channel output. The receiver will
operate in a “phantom” center channel mode.
Center-channel information will be sent to the left
and right front channel outputs and the center
channel bass will be sent to the subwoofer output
when

SUB L/R+LFE

is selected in the

SUBWOOFER

line in this menu (see below).

This mode is needed if no Center speaker is used.
Note that when the Logic 7 Cinema or Enhanced
surround modes are selected a Center speaker
must be used, the Logic 7 Music mode works well
without a Center too.

5. When you have completed your selection for
the center channel, press the

Button

the remote to move the cursor to

SURROUND

6. Press the

‹

›

Buttons

on the remote to

select the option that best describes the surround
speakers in your system based on the speaker
definitions shown on page 22.
