Setting the SystemConfigurationMemory
TheAVR635features an advanced m emon/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
andhavetheAVR635 memorize thosesettings. This
means, forexample, thatyoumaysetdifferent s peaker
