Press the
OK button A again, and use the
buttons Z on the remote to select the option
that best describes your system based on the
Center speaker definitions shown in preceding
section.
When

laRGE
low frequency center channel sounds will be sent to
the subwoofer only.
When
is selected, a full-range output will be
laRGE
sent to the center speaker output, and with analog and
digital surround modes (except with the Pro logic II
Music mode) No center channel signal will be sent to
the subwoofer output.
When
is selected, no signal will be sent to
NONE
the center channel output. The receiver will operate
in a "phantom" center channel mode and center
channel information will be sent to the left and right
front channel outputs and its bass will be sent to
the subwoofer output too as long as 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 for the use of logic 7C surround mode
a Center speaker is needed, but logic 7M works well
without a Center too.

When you have completed your selection for the
center channel, press the OK button A, and
then press the
KL
buttons Z on the remote
to change the display to

Press the
OK button A again, and then use the
KL
buttons Z on the remote to select the
option that best describes your system based
on the surround speaker definitions shown in
preceding section.
When
is selected, with all digital surround
Small
modes low frequency surround channel sounds will
be sent to the fronts, when sub is turned off, or to the
subwoofer output when sub is on. With the analog
surround modes the rear bass feed depends on the
mode selected and the setting of the sub and front
speakers.
When
is selected, a full-range output will be
laRGE
sent to the surround channel outputs (with all analog
and digital surround modes), and, except with Hall
and Theater modes, No surround channel bass will be
sent to the subwoofer output.
When
is selected, surround sound information
NONE
will be split between the front-left and front-right
outputs. Note that for optimal performance when no
surround speakers are in use, the Dolby 3 stereo mode
should be used instead of Dolby Pro logic.

When you have completed your selection for the
KL
surround channel, press the OK button A, and
then press the
buttons Z on the remote
KL
to change the display to
9.
Press the
OK button A, and then press the
buttons Z on the remote to select the option
that best describes your subwoofer system.
The choices available for the subwoofer position
will depend on the settings for the other speakers,
particularly the front left/right positions.
If the front left/right speakers are set to
subwoofer will automatically be set to
the "on" position.
If the front left/right speakers are set to
three options are available:
•
If no subwoofer is connected to the AVR, press the
arrow buttons Z so that
in the display. When this option is selected, all bass
information will be routed to the front left/right
"main" speakers.
•
If a subwoofer is connected to the AVR, you have
the option to have the front left/right "main"
speakers reproduce bass frequencies at all times,
and have the subwoofer operate only when
the AVR is being used with a digital source that
contains a dedicated low frequency Effects, or
lfE soundtrack. This allows you to use both your
main and subwoofer speakers to take advantage
of the special bass created for certain movies. To
.
select that option press the arrow buttons Z so
that
appears in the display.
SUB lFE
•
If a subwoofer is connected and you wish to use it
for bass reproduction in conjunction with the main
front left/right speakers, regardless of the type of
program source or surround mode you are listening
to, press the arrow buttons Z so that
appears in the display. When this option
R+lFE
is selected, a "complete" feed will be sent to the
front left/right "main" speakers, and the subwoofer
will receive the front left and right bass frequencies
under the crossover frequency 80 Hz, additionally
to the lfE soundtrack (see above).

When all speaker selections have been made for
the input selected, press the OK button A twice
or simply wait for three seconds until the display
returns to the normal mode.
Surround Setup
once the speaker setup has been completed, the next
setup step is to set the surround mode you wish to use

with each input. since surround modes are a matter of
KL
personal taste, feel free to select any mode you wish –
you may change it later. To make it easier to establish
the initial parameters for the AVR, it is best to leave the
default setting of logic 7 Music mode for most analog
inputs and Dolby Digital for inputs connected to digital
sources. In the case of inputs such as a CD Player, Tape
Deck or Tuner, you may wish to set the mode to stereo,

To set the surround mode you wish to use with the
input selected, press the Surround Mode Selector

the Main Information Display F.
Note that Dolby Digital and DTs will only appear as
choices when a digital input has been selected.
After the surround mode setting has been made with
the current input, repeat the setting with all inputs
you will use. The surround mode can also be changed
at any time later, and the AVR's memory system will
keep the settings for the input selected, until they are
changed again.
Configuring the Surround Off
(Stereo) Modes
for superior reproduction of two-channel program
materials, the AVR offers two stereo modes: an
analog stereo-Direct mode that bypasses the digital
signal processing circuitry for a completely analog
signal path that preserves the purity of the original
signal, and a digital mode that is capable of providing
SUB l/
bass management for optimal distribution of the
low frequencies between smaller speakers and a
subwoofer.
Stereo-Direct (Bypass) Mode
When the analog stereo-Direct mode is selected
by pressing the Stereo Mode Selector J
until
SURROUND OFF
Information Display F the AVR will pass the
analog source material directly through to the front left
and right speakers, bypassing the digital processing
circuitry.
In this mode, the front left and right speakers will
automatically be configured as
possible to configure these speakers as
