When setting the Speaker System Configuration, you are in effect,
determining how the bass is managed through your speaker sys-
tem. The Cinema Rhapsody is very flexible when it comes to this
setup. For those systems that utilize a THX certified speaker sys-
tem, there will be no need to go through the elaborate Speaker Sys-
tem Configuration setup. However, if you are using speakers that
are capable of full range operation or wish to have different bass
options for different inputs, the Cinema Rhapsody is very flexible.
The Cinema Rhapsody supports two options for Speaker System
Configuration. The easiest option (SPKR SYS ALL) permits you to
setup the speaker configuration for all inputs in one easy step. The
second option (SPKR SYS IND), permits you setup a different
speaker configuration for each input. It is worth noting at this time, if
are planning to set individual inputs to their own speaker configura-
tion and then choose to access the SPKR SYS ALL configuration
option, you will immediately reset all previous individual speaker
settings to what ever configuration first comes up when entering the
more automatic option. As such, do not enter the SPKR SYS ALL
option if you have already adjusted the settings for particular inputs,
unless of course, you wish to reset the previously selected individual
settings.
The chart below details the various options available. Please note,
that the “0” option is the THX standard. It is also the Cinema
Rhapsody’s default speaker setup for all inputs.
To change the Speaker System Configuration for all inputs:
1
While in the PRO SETUP mode, turn the MODE knob until
the display reads SPKR SYS ALL, then press the MODE
knob. The display will read BASS CONFIG on the top
line and the second line will read the ALL CONFIG #, where
the number indicates the current setting for all inputs.
2
Turn the MODE knob until the desired Speaker System Con-
figuration is displayed. To exit this setting, press the MODE
knob (to return to the PRO SETUP mode) or turn the
VOLUME knob (to exit the SETUP mode entirely).
Pro Setup - Speaker System Setup - Bass Management
The Cinema Rhapsody’s “Out
Of The Box” Setup is
defaulted to the THX standard
where the High Pass Filter is
active on all speakers with
their subwoofer information
summed to with the LFE
channel (Setting 0). If you are
using full range speakers in
your home theater system,
you can alter the speaker
system configuration aspect
of the Cinema Rhapsody.
Please note, that you have two
options when setting up the
Cinema Rhapsody for your
speaker system. The first
option permits you to setup
the Bass Configuration setting
for all inputs in one easy step.
The other option permits you
to set the speaker system
configuration, individually for
each input.
If you are using full range
speakers (speakers capable of
handling bass information)
either for all five main
speakers or just some of the
five main speakers, you will
need to use the chart to
determine which Bass
Configuration # best applies
to your speaker array.
