cept where noted.

panel display.

2.  Use the CONTROL 

 buttons on the front

panel to step through the available settings

vances up or down to the next available

3. Use the CONTROL 

 buttons on the front

panel to adjust the item currently shown
in the front panel display.

The following topics describe the settings for
each item.

Subwoofer Setting
(SUBWFR)

The SUBWFR item configures the RSDX-02e
for use with or without a powered subwoofer.
Use the CONTROL 

 buttons to select one

of two settings:

• YES: 

Select this setting if you have con-

nected a powered subwoofer.

• NO: 

Select this setting if your system does

not have a powered subwoofer.

Speaker Settings
(FRNT SP, CNTR SP, SURR SP)

The next three items configure the front speak-
ers, center speaker, and surround speakers
in the system.

For each type of speaker, use the CONTROL

 buttons to choose one of three options:

• LRG: 

Select the LARGE setting if the

speaker(s) for this item are capable of re-
producing deep bass.

• SML: 

Select the SMALL setting to redirect

the deep bass from the speaker(s) for this
item to a powered subwoofer or to large
speakers in the system.

• NO: 

Select this setting if you do not have

speaker(s) for this item in the system. For
example, if you do not have surround
speakers, select NO for the SURR SP item.

NOTE

The NO option is not available for the

front speakers. If you have previously selected
NO for the subwoofer, the front speakers are
automatically set to LARGE.

In the vast majority of systems with a powered
subwoofer, all speakers should be set to SMALL
so that their deep bass is redirected to the
subwoofer. This will almost always result in
better overall bass performance and a system
that will play louder and cleaner, even when
the front speakers are physically large.

Delay Settings
(FRNT D, CNTR D, SURR D)

The next three items set the length of digital delay
for each type of speaker so that the sound from
all speakers arrives at your ear simultaneously.
Thus, speakers that are closer to you need longer
delay than speakers that are farther away.

The actual delay times are calculated by the
RSDX-02e. All you have to do is measure the
distance from your listening position to each
group of speakers and enter the setting here.
There are separate settings for front speakers,
center channel speaker, and surround speakers.

For each type of speaker, use the CON-
TROL 

 buttons to enter the distance to

the that speaker from your listening posi-
tion (in feet). The range of options is from
1 ft. to 30 ft. in 1 foot increments.

NOTE

If you have previously selected NO for

either the center or surround speakers, there
will no corresponding Delay Setting item.
