SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
23
Notes:
• When "Independent" is selected for the speak-
er settings (see below), they need to be made
for each input individually and you can deter-
mine 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
settings 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
available. It is easiest to select these modes
directly, without the on-screen display, so press
the
OSD
button
L
to turn the on-screen dis-
play 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
L
to bring up the
MASTER MENU
(Figure 1), and then press the
¤
Button
E
twice so that the cursor is on the
SPEAKER
SETUP
line. At this point, press the
Set
Button
F
to bring up the
SPEAKER
SETUP
menu (Figure 4).
Figure 4
The first line of the
SPEAKER SETUP
menu
(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
E
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
prefer 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 individ-
ually to each input, make certain that the cursor
is on the
BASS MGR
line and press the
‹
/
›
Buttons
E
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’ con-
figuration, press the
‹
/
›
Buttons
E
so that
either
LARGE
or
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 out-
puts. Depending on the choice made in the
SUBWOOFER
line in this menu (see below),
the front left and right bass information may also
be directed 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
INDEPENDENT
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
outputs
and
LARGE
must be selected for
the front speakers (and
NONE
for the sub-
woofer, see below).
3. When you have completed your selection for the
front channel, press the
¤
Button
E
on the
remote to move the cursor to
CENTER
.
4. Press the
‹
/
›
Buttons
E
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 cen-
ter speaker. This is due to the requirements of
Logic 7 processing, and does not indicate a prob-
lem 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 cen-
ter 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
E
on
the remote to move the cursor to
SURROUND
.
6. Press the
‹
/
›
Buttons
E
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.
