Chapter Two : Setting Up PowerTouch
Custom setup: Use this method for a more customized
setup where you determine more of the speaker settings,
such as the bandwidth of the sound sent to each speaker.
Custom setup configures the following: SW=subwoofer,
L=front left, R=front right, C=center, SL=surround left,
SR=surround right, SBL=surround back left and
SBR=surround back right.
1 Touch
on the Speaker Selection menu:
2 Aim PowerTouch at the receiver and touch the speaker
38
button until the correct setting appears (see below).
The front left and right buttons, the surround left
and right buttons and the surround back left and
right buttons are linked; if you touch one, you change
the settings for both.
• Off means you are not using the speaker. (Not avail-
able for front speakers). If no subwoofer is connected,
all bass below 80Hz is sent to front left and right
speakers.
• On means that you are using the speaker. (Only avail-
able for subwoofer).
• Select Nml (= Normal/THX) if the speaker is not ca-
pable of producing clean, deep bass energy at output
levels that match those produced by a typical powered
subwoofer. All bass below 80Hz in that channel is re-
moved from that speaker and is sent to the subwoofer
(or sent to the front speakers if subwoofer is set to off)
in all listening modes. Most speakers should be consid-
ered Nml. If no subwoofer is connected, that signal is
sent to front left and right speakers.
If you have THX certified speakers, select the Nml set-
ting.
• Select Lrg (= Large) if the speaker is capable of pro-
ducing clean, deep bass energy at output levels that
match those produced by a typical powered
subwoofer. All bass below 80Hz in that channel is
left in that speaker in all listening modes.
The subwoofer may not output audio depending on
the setups of the input signal, speakers and listen mode.
3 If you set your left and right front speakers to Lrg
and want to send bass to the subwoofer in all Listen
modes, touch
until "On" appears above the
button. SW Re-Mix mixes some of the bass compo-
nents in the signals for all the speakers and output
it to the subwoofer.
The SW Re-Mix ON/OFF is defeated when you set
your front speakers to Nml.
4 Touch
to save your settings.
5 Touch
to move to the next speaker setting or
touch
to return to the Setup Surround menu.
When activating the THX operation, it is recommended to
set SW Re-Mix OFF so that the THX operation can match
correctly the human sense of audition.
