AVR35RDS 230 volt Rev (C) 9/28/98
System Setup
Once the speakers have been placed in
the room and connected, the final step in
the setup process is to enter the settings
that configure the AVR35RDS’s bass
management system for the type of
speakers used in your system, the calibra-
tion of the output levels and the delay
times used by the surround sound
processor. Before proceeding further, this
is a good time to review the installation
section of the manual to make certain
that all connections are properly made.
You are now ready to power up
the AVR35RDS to begin these final
adjustments.
1. Plug the
Power Cable
‹
into an
unswitched AC outlet.
2. Press the
Main Power Switch
1
in so that it latches in with the “OFF”
wording on the top of the switch
inside the front panel. Note that the
Power Indicator
3
will turn
amber, indicating that the unit is in
the Standby mode.
3. Install the three supplied AAA batteries
in the remote as shown. Be certain to
observe the (+) and (–) polarity
indicators shown in the bottom of the
battery compartment.
4. Turn the AVR35RDS on either by press-
ing the
System Power Control
3
on the front panel, or via the remote
by first pressing the
AVR Selector
a
, and then pressing the
Power
button
d
. The
Power Indicator

will turn green to confirm that the
unit is on, and the
Information
Display
˝
will also light up.
Speaker Configuration
The first few adjustments tell the
AVR35RDS which type of speakers are in
use. This is important as it adjusts the
settings that determine which speakers
receive low-frequency (bass) information.
For each of these settings use the
LARGE
setting if the speakers for a particular
position are traditional full-range loud-
speakers that are capable of reproducing
sounds below 100Hz. Use the
SMALL
setting for smaller, frequency-limited
satellite speakers that do not reproduce
sounds below 100Hz. Note that when
“small” speakers are used, a subwoofer is
required to reproduce low-frequency
sounds. Remember that the “large” and
“small” descriptions do not refer to the
actual physical size of the speakers, but
their ability to reproduce low-frequency
sounds. If you are in doubt as to which
category describes your speakers, consult
the specifications in the speakers’ owner’s
manual, or ask your dealer.
With the AVR35RDS turned on, follow
these steps to configure the speakers:
1. Put the AVR35RDS in the Dolby Pro
Logic mode by pressing the
Dolby

buttons
h
on the
remote or the
Selector
buttons
¸
on the front panel until either
LARGE
or
SMALL
appears to
match the type of speakers you have
at the left front and right front posi-
tions, as described by the definitions
shown below.
When
SMALL
is selected, low-
frequency sounds will be sent to the
subwoofer output only. Note that if
you choose this option, and there is
no subwoofer connected, you will
not hear any low-frequency sounds
from the front channels.
