there is no subwoofer connected, you will not
hear any low frequency sounds from the front
channels.
When LARGEis selected, a full-range output
will be sent to the front left and front right out-
puts. Depending on the subwoofer configuration
(see below), the front left and right bass informa-
tion may also be directed to a subwoofer.

When SMALLis selected, low frequency cen-
ter 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 LARGEis selected, a full-range output
will be sent to the center speaker output, and
with analog and digital surround modes NO cen-
ter channel signal will be sent to the subwoofer
output.
When NONEis 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. 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).

put when Sub is on.With Pro Logic mode, there
is no bass in the surround channels.
When LARGEis 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
surround channel bass will be sent to the sub-
woofer output.
When NONEis selected, surround sound
information will be split between the front-left

press the
⁄/¤ buttons

on the front panel to

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 SUB, 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 2000,
press the arrow buttons
C

so that
NONEappears in the display.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 2000,
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 2000 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 the arrow
buttons
C
5
so that SUB(LFE) appears
in the display.
• If a subwoofer is connected and you wish to
use it for bass reproduction in conjunction with
the main front left/right speakers, regardless of
the type of program source or surround mode
you are listening to, press the arrow buttons
C
5
so that SUB L/R+LFE appears in
the display. When this option is selected, a
“complete” feed will be sent to the front
left/right “main” speakers, and the subwoofer
will receive the front left and right bass frequen-
cies.
11.When all speaker selections have been made
for the input selected, press the Set button
E
Ó
twice or simply wait for three seconds until
the display returns to the normal mode.
