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 ‹
unswitched AC outlet.
2. Press the

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
setting if the speakers for a particular
into an position are traditional full-range loud-
speakers that are capable of reproducing
sounds below 100Hz. Use the
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.
