How to Adjust for Loudspeaker Size
A Home Theater System can include a variety of Loud-
speakers with various capabilities. The LARGE listing re-
fers to the Loudspeaker’s capability for reproducing bass
frequencies down to 35Hz within -3dB of the midrange fre-
quencies. If a Loudspeaker can not reproduce bass frequen-
cies down to 35Hz within -3dB of the midrange frequencies,
it is considered SMALL. If you do not have a Subwoofer,
you must have Front (Left and Right) Loudspeakers that are
LARGE in order to hear the low frequencies below the
Subwoofer Crossover Setting of 80Hz. If you are unsure as
to the bass performance capabilities of your Loudspeakers,
select the SMALL setting.
1. Press and hold the Front Panel SETUP Push-button for
approximately three seconds to enter the Setup Mode.
The word SETUP will appear on the MX120 Front
Panel Alphanumeric Display and the MAIN SYSTEM
SETUP Menu will appear on the Monitor/TV screen.
Refer to figure 6 on page 24.
2. Using the Up or Down directional push-buttons,
select Speaker Size on the On-Screen Menu, followed
by the SELECT/OK Push-button on the Remote Con-
trol. Refer to figure 8.
Notes: The very first time the SPEAKER SIZE Menu is
accessed, the factory default settings will be
indicated. In the Speaker Size Menu Setting Options,
the number after the name of Small or Large refers
to quantity of Loudspeakers. If the setting for the
Back Surround Loudspeaker is Small 1 (BSL - Back
Surround Left), only the Zone A Back Output Left
Channel will have audio output.
3. Select the appropriate Loudspeaker location and type by
using the Up or Down directional push-buttons to
select first the menu item and then press the Left or
Right directional push-buttons to change the current
setting.
Notes: When the Front Loudspeakers are set to Small, the
options in the Speaker Size Setup Menu for the
Center and Surround Loudspeakers are Small or
None; the Subwoofer Loudspeaker will be set to the
On position. If the Surround Loudspeakers are set to
Small, the options in the Speaker Size Setup Menu
for the Back Surrround Loudspeaker are Small
1(BSL), Small 2 or None. When the Small 1 (BSL)
setting is selected, the BACK Surround Right
Channel ZONE A OUTPUT will be switched Off. A
chart has been provided on the next page to record
your system settings.
4. When all of the settings on the SPEAKER SIZE Menu
agree with the Loudspeakers in your Home Theater
System, perform the SUB Crossover and/or the MC
BASS MODE adjustments or if no adjustments are
needed, then continue to the SPEAKER TIME DELAY
Settings. If you do not wish to perform SPEAKER
TIME DELAY adjustments at this time, select MAIN
MENU from the menu. The MAIN SYSTEM SETUP
Menu will reappear on the Monitor/TV screen and pro-
ceed to the next step.
5. Select EXIT from the MAIN SYSTEM SETUP Menu.
If you are satisfied with the changes that you have
made, select YES to save those changes or NO not to
save them. The MX120 will then return to normal op-
eration. Refer to figure 7 on page 25.
