Setting the SystemConfigurationMemory
TheAVR435features an advanced m emory system
thatenables youto establish different c onfigurations
forthe speaker " size/' c omponent videoassignment,
digitalinput, s urround modeandcrossover frequency
for eachinputsource. Thisflexibility e nables youto
customize thewayinwhichyoulisten to eachsource
andhavetheAVR435 memorize thosesettings. This
means, forexample, thatyoumaysetdifferent s peaker
configurations withthe resultant changes t o the bass
management system, O ncethesesettings am made,
theywillautomatically be recalled whenever youselect

Thefactory default s ettings forthe AVR435 haveall
