System Configuration
Making Settings independent of
selected Input
After the settings described above have been
made for all input sources in your system, the
following settings, made with any input, will
remain in effect independent of the input
selected.
Speaker Setup
This menu tells the AVR which type of speakers
are in use. This is important as it adjusts the set-
tings that determine which speakers receive low
frequency (bass) information. For each of these
settings use the L A R G E setting if the speak-
ers for a particular position are traditional full-
range loudspeakers that are capable of repro-
ducing sounds below 100Hz. Use the S M A L L
setting for smaller, frequency-limited satellite
speakers that do not reproduce sounds below
100Hz. Note that when "small" front (left and
right) speakers are used, a subwoofer is required
to reproduce low frequency sounds. If you are in
doubt as to which category describes your
speakers, consult the specifications in the speak-
ers' owner's manual, or ask your dealer.
It is best to select the Dolby Pro Logic II mode for
making the speaker setup. For that press the
Surround Mode Selector
on the front
panel until any Pro Logic II mode is indicated in
the display or press the Surround Mode
Selector
and select any Pro Logic II mode
with the
Selector Buttons
/
with the currently selected input all speaker set-
tings will be copied to other surround modes too
(as far as possible) and need not be repeated
with any other mode.
1. It is easiest to enter the proper settings for the
speaker setup through the SPEAKER
SETUP menu (Figure 5). If that menu is not
alredy on your screen from the prior adjustments,
press the OSD button
to bring up the
MASTER MENU (Figure 1), and then
press the
button
twice so that the cursor
is on the SPEAKER SETUP line. At this
point, press the Set button
to bring up the
SPEAKER SETUP menu (Figure 5).

either LARGE or SMALL appears, matching
the appropriate description from the definitions
shown above.
When SMALL is selected, low frequency front
channel sounds will be sent only to the subwoofer
output. Note that if you choose this option and
there is no subwoofer connected, you will not hear
any low frequency sounds from the front channels.
This setting is not available with stereo mode to
ensure purest sound by bypassing the crossovers
of the DSP´s.
When LARGE is selected, a full-range output
will be sent to the front left and front right out-
puts. Depending on the choice made in the
SUBWOOFER line in this menu (see below),
the front left and right bass information may also
be directed to a subwoofer.
Important Note: When a speaker set with two
front satellites and a passive subwoofer is used,
connected to the front speaker outputs
the fronts must be set for LARGE.
3. When you have completed your selection for the
front channel, press the
remote to move the cursor to CENTER.
4. Press the
buttons

to select the option that best describes your
Center speaker based on the speaker definitions
shown on this page.
. Note that
When SMALL is selected, low frequency center
channel sounds will be sent to the Fronts, if they
are set for LARGE and Sub is turned off. When
Sub is on, low frequency center channel sounds
will be sent to the subwoofer only.
When LARGE is selected, a full-range output
will be 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 out-
put.
When NONE is selected, no signal will be sent
to 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 S W 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.

the center channel, press the
the remote to change the cursor to
SURROUND.

to select the option that best describes the sur-
/
round speakers in your system based on the
speaker definitions shown on this page.
When SMALL is selected, with all digital sur-
round 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 LARGE is selected, a full-range output
will be sent to the surround channel outputs
(with all analog and digital surround modes),
and, except with Hall and Theater modes, NO sur-
round channel bass will be sent to the subwoofer
output.
When NONE is selected, surround sound infor-
mation will be split between the front-left and
front-right outputs. Note that for optimal per-
formance when no surround speakers are in use,
,
the Dolby 3 Stereo mode should be used instead
of Dolby Pro Logic II.

The choices available for the subwoofer position
will depend on the settings for the other speak-
ers, particularly the front left/right positions.
If the front left/right speakers are set to
SMALL, the subwoofer will automatically be
set to S U B, which is the "on" position.
If the front left/right speakers are set to
LARGE, three options are available:
• If no subwoofer is connected to the AVR, press
the
N O N E appears in the on-screen menu. 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
