125

1 Select ‘

Speaker Setting

’ from the

Manual SP Setup

menu.

2 Choose the set of speakers that you want to set,

then select a speaker size.

Use / to select the size (and number) of each of the

following speakers:

• Front – Select LARGE if your front speakers

reproduce bass frequencies effectively, or if you

didn’t connect a subwoofer. Select SMALL to send

the bass frequencies to the subwoofer.

• Center – Select LARGE if your center speaker

reproduces bass frequencies effectively, or select

SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other

speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect a center

speaker, choose NO (the center channel is sent to

the front speakers).

• Surr – Select LARGE if your surround speakers

reproduce bass frequencies effectively. Select

SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other

speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect

surround speakers choose NO (the sound of the

surround channels is sent to the front speakers or a

subwoofer).

• SB – Select the number of surround back speakers

you have (one, two or none).

Select LARGEx2 or

LARGEx1 if your surround back speakers reproduce

bass frequencies effectively. Select SMALLx2 or

SMALLx1 to send bass frequencies to the other

speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect

surround back speakers choose NO.

• SW – LFE signals and bass frequencies of channels

set to SMALL are output from the subwoofer when

YES is selected. Choose the PLUS setting if you want

the subwoofer to output bass sound continuously or

you want deeper bass (the bass frequencies that

would normally come out the front and center

speakers are also routed to the subwoofer).

If you did

not connect a subwoofer choose NO (the bass

frequencies are output from other speakers).

3Select ‘

X.OVER

’ and set the crossover frequency.

Frequencies below this point will be sent to the

subwoofer (or LARGE speakers).

4 When you’re finished, press

RETURN

You will return to the Manual SP Setup menu.

Channel Level

Using the channel level settings, you can adjust the

overall balance of your speaker system, an important

factor when setting up a home theater system.

1Select ‘

Channel Level

’ from the

Manual SP Setup

menu.

2 Select a setup option.

• MANUAL – Move the test tone manually from

speaker to speaker and adjust individual channel

levels.

• AUTO – Adjust channel levels as the test tone moves

from speaker to speaker automatically.

Note

1 If you select SMALL for the front speakers the subwoofer will automatically be fixed to YES. Also, the center, surround and surround back

speakers can’t be set to LARGE if the front speakers are set to SMALL. In this case, all bass frequencies are sent to the subwoofer.

2 • If you selected Speaker B, ZONE 2 or Front Bi-Amp (in Surround back speaker setting on page 124) you can’t adjust the surround back

settings.

• If the surround speakers are set to NO, the surround back speakers will automatically be set to NO.

• If you select one surround back speaker only, make sure that speaker is hooked up to the left surround back terminal.

3 If you have a subwoofer and like lots of bass, it may seem logical to select LARGE for your front speakers and PLUS for the subwoofer. This

may not, however, yield the best bass results. Depending on the speaker placement of your room you may actually experience a decrease in

the amount of bass due low frequency cancellations. In this case, try changing the position or direction of speakers. If you can’t get good

results, listen to the bass response with it set to PLUS and YES or the front speakers set to LARGE and SMALL alternatively and let your ears

judge which sounds best. If you’re having problems, the easiest option is to route all the bass sounds to the subwoofer by selecting SMALL

for the front speakers.

4 • This setting decides the cutoff between bass sounds playing back from the speakers selected as LARGE, or the subwoofer, and bass sounds

playing back from those selected as SMALL. It also decides where the cutoff will be for bass sounds in the LFE channel.

• If you’re using a THX speaker setup, confirm that the crossover frequency is set to 80Hz.
