until the desired setting appears. The available
choices at which point low-frequency information
will be sent to the subwoofer (or to the Front
Left/Right speakers in case subwoofer is set to
OFF), rather than to the speaker channel, are
40Hz, 60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz and 200Hz.
Pick the choice that is identical to the information
for the speakers, or if an exact match is not possi-
ble, pick the closest choice that is ABOVE the
speaker’s lowfrequency limit to avoid the creation
of a low-frequency “hole” where your system will
have no bass information.
In cases where
LARGEhas been selected as the
front channel speaker option and
LFE+L/R
has been selected as the subwoofer option, the
front channel sound information below the cross-
over point selected for the L/R front speakers
(when fronts are set to "Small") will be sent to
BOTH the front channel speakers and the sub-
woofer.
When all speakers are set to
LARGEthe
crossover point for the fronts (selectable when
they are set to "Small") will affect the LFE signal
and the bass support for the front speakers by the
sub (when the sub is set to L/R+LFE, see above)
only. In that case the default value "100Hz"
should be kept or selected for the crossover point
for the L/R fronts (selectable when they are
"Small") as it´s indicated (and marked by *)
behind the
LEFT/RIGHT line in the speaker
setup menu when the X-OVER option is selected.

To assist in making these settings, the icons in the
Speaker/Channel Input Indicators
Ú
will
change as the speaker type is selected at each
position.When only the inner icon box is lit, the
speaker is set for “small.” When the inner box and
the two outer boxes with circles inside them are
lit, the speaker is set for “large." When no indica-
tor appears at a speaker location, that position is
set for “none” or “no” speaker.
Note: These icons are available only when
making setup changes without the use of the full
OSD mode.
As an example, in the Figure below, all speakers
are set for “large,” and a subwoofer is set.
Surround Setup
Once the speaker setup has been completed, the
next step for that input is to set the surround
mode you wish to use with that input. Since sur-
round modes are a matter of personal taste, feel
free to select any mode you wish – you may
change it later.The Surround Mode chart on page
29 may help you select the mode best suited to
the input source selected. For example you may
select Dolby Pro Logic II or Logic 7 for most ana-
log inputs and Dolby Digital for inputs connected
to digital sources. In the case of inputs such as a
CD Player,Tape Deck or Tuner, you may wish to set
the mode to Stereo, if that is your preferred listen-
ing mode for standard stereo sources, where it is
unlikely that sur
round encoded material will be
used.Alternatively, the 5 Channel Stereo or
Logic 7
Music mode may also be a good choice for
stereo-only source material.
It is easiest to complete the surround setup using
the full-OSD on-screen menus. From the
MASTER menu (Figure 1), press the

but-
tons
E
until the

cursor is next to the
SURROUND SELECTmenu. Press the
Set Button
F
so that the SURROUND
SELECT
menu (Figure 6) is on the screen.
Figure 6
Each of the option lines on this menu (Figure 6)
selects the surround mode category, and within
each of those categories there will be a choice of
the specific mode options. The choice of modes
will vary according to the speaker configuration in
your system.
When the
SURRBACK line of the
SPEAKER SETUPmenu (Figure 5) is set to
NONEthe AVR will be configured for 5.1-chan-
nel operation, and only the modes appropriate to
a five-speaker system will appear.
When the SURRBACK line of the
SPEAKER SETUPmenu (Figure 5) is set to
SMALLor LARGE the AVR will be configured
for 6.1/7.1-channel operation, and additional
modes such as Dolby Digital EX and 7 STEREO or
Logic 7 7.1 will appear, as they are only available
when seven main speakers are present. In
addition, the modes DTS ES (Discrete) and
DTS+NEO:6 (DTS ES Matrix) available in the AVR
will not appear unless a digital source is playing
the correct bitstream.
Note: When a Dolby Digital or DTS source is
selected and playing, the AVR will select the
appropriate surround mode automatically, no
matter which surround mode was selected for
that input as default.Then no other surround
modes will be available, except VMAx with Dolby
Digital recordings and all Pro Logic II modes with
Dolby Digital 2 channel (2.0) recordings (see page
34).
To select the mode that will be used as the initial
default for an input, first press the
