9.0 av2 detailed setup
More! Large speakers are typically floor or stand mounted products with bass
drivers of at least 130mm (5 inches) diameter. "Small" speakers are typically
those that are primarily intended to be used as part of a sub-woofer/satellite
system. If LG (large) is selected, only low frequency effect signals are routed to
the sub-woofer channel. If SM (small) is selected, both the low frequency
effects and the main channel low bass signals are routed to the sub-woofer.
Step 2. The av2 display will now show CEN on the left hand side and either NO, SM or LG
on the right hand side. CEN refers to the centre channel speaker. Use the
(front panel: rotary control) to select NO (none), SM or LG. Move to the next step by
pressing 8 (front panel: mode button).
More! A "large" centre channel speaker would typically incorporate bass driver
or drivers of at least 130mm (5 inches) diameter. "Small" speakers are typically
those that are primarily intended to be used as part of a sub-woofer/satellite
system. Selecting SM (small) routes the centre channel bass signal to the main
left and right speakers or sub-woofer. Selecting NO (none) routes the centre
channel signal equally to the main left and right speakers.
Step 3. The av2 display will now show SUR on the left hand side and again either NO, SM
or LG on the right hand side. SUR refers to the left and right surround channel speakers.

More! A "large" surround channel speaker would typically incorporate bass
driver or drivers of at least 130mm (5 inches) diameter. "Small" speakers are
typically those that are primarily intended to be used as part of a sub-
woofer/satellite system. Selecting SM (small) routes the surround channel bass
signal to the main left and right speakers. Selecting NO (none) routes the
surround channel signal to the main left and right speakers.
Step 4. The av2 display will now show ER on the left hand side and again either NO, 1SM,
1LG, 2SM or 2LG on the right hand side. ER refers to extra rear left and right speakers
and NO (none), 1SM (one small), 1LG (one large), 2SM (two small) or 2LG (two large) to
their presence, size and number. Use the
select an option. Move to the next step by pressing 8
More! The facilities for "extra" rear channels on the av2 ensures compatibility
with programme material encoded for seven full bandwidth channels and one
sub-woofer channel. The definition for "small" and "large" speakers is the same
as for surround speakers.
Step 5. The av2 display will now show SUB on the left hand side and either NO or YES on
the right hand side. SUB refers to the sub-woofer and NO or YES to its presence or
absence. Use the

Steps 6 to 14 of the Speaker Setup routine define the distance from the primary listening
and viewing position to the speakers. Defining the distances is important because it
enables the av2 to apply appropriate time delays to each of the channels. The distances
need not be measured accurately. Plus or minus 150 mm (6 inches) is adequate. The first
of these steps switches the av2 measurement units between feet and metres.
Step 6. The av2 display will now show UNT on the left hand side and FT or M on the right
hand side. FT refers to distance measurement in feet and M to measurement in metres.

Step 7. The av2 display will now show L on the left hand side and a numerical distance
value on the right hand side. L refers to the left main speaker and the numerical value its
