22 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
System Configuration
Audio Setup
This menu allows you to configure the tone con-
trols and to turn the upsampling on or off. If you
do not wish to change any of those settings at
this time, proceed to the next menu screen.
However, to make configuration changes to those
parameters, make certain that the
MASTER
MENU
is on the screen with the ➞ cursor point-
ing to the
AUDIOSETUP line, and press the
Set Button
F
.The AUDIOSETUP menu
(Figure 3) will appear.
Figure 3
The first line controls whether or not the bass/tre-
ble tone controls are in the signal path.The nor-
mal default is for them to be in-line, but if you
wish to remove them from the circuit for “flat”
response, first make certain that the ➞ cursor is
pointing to the TONE line on the menu and press
the
‹

Navigation Button
E
so that OUT
is highlighted in reverse video.
If you wish to leave the tone controls in the signal
path, the amount off boost or cut for bass and
treble may be adjusted by pressing the

¤
Navigation Button
E
so that the ➞ cursor is
next to the line for the setting you wish to adjust.
Next, press the
‹
/
›
Navigation Button
E
until the desired setting is shown.
This menu also includes a setting to turn the unit’s
upsampling feature on or off. In normal use, this
feature is turned off, which means that digital
sources are processed at their native sample rate.
For example, a 48kHz digital source will be
processed at 48kHz. However, the AVR allows you
to upsample the incoming 48kHz signals to 96kHz
for added resolution.
To take advantage of this feature, press the

so that the ➞ cursor is

so that ONis

is only available for the Dolby Pro Logic II-Music,
Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, Dolby Pro Logic and
Dolby 3 Stereo modes.

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
LARGEsetting if the speakers
for a particular position are traditional full-range
loudspeakers that are capable of reproducing
sounds below 40Hz. Use the
SMALLsetting for
smaller, frequency-limited satellite speakers that
do not reproduce sounds below 40Hz. Note that
when “small” speakers are used, a subwoofer is
required to reproduce low-frequency sounds.
Remember that the “large” and “small” descrip-
tions do not refer to the actual physical size of the
speakers, but to their ability to reproduce low-fre-
quency sounds. If you are in doubt as to which
category describes your speakers, consult the
specifications in the speakers’ owner’s manual, or
ask your dealer.
This menu screen also allows you to enter the set-
tings for the AVR’s Quadruple Crossover feature
that allows a different crossover point to be used
for the front left/right, center, surround and sur-
round back speakers. In systems where full-range
or tower speakers are used for the front sound-
stage or where different brands or models are in
use at the various speaker positions, this feature
allows you to custom tailor the bass management
and redirection circuits with a precision not
previously possible.
At last, this menu also makes you chose if the
speaker setting will be the same for each input
source (
GLOBAL), or will be set differently for
each input (
INDEPENDENT).
Notes:
• When "Independent" is selected for the speaker
settings (see below), they need to be made for
each input individually and you can determine
which speaker should be used depending on the
input source selected. So it´s possible e.g. to
turn off the Center and/or the Sub with any
music source selected and to use them with any
movie input source.
• With the currently selected input all speaker set-
tings will be copied to all other surround modes
(as far as speakers are used with them) and
need not be repeated when another surround
mode is selected with that input.
First select any of the DTS Neo:6 modes as with
them all speakers and all speaker modes are avail-
able. It is easiest to select these modes directly,
without the on-screen display, so press the OSD
button
L
to turn the on-screen display off if it is
still visible. Then press the DTS Neo:6 button
T
on the remote.
It is easiest to enter the proper settings for the
speaker setup through the
SPEAKER
SETUP
menu (Figure 4). So press the OSD
Button
L
to bring up the MASTER MENU
(Figure 1), and then press the
¤
Button
E
twice so that the cursor is on the SPEAKER
SETUP
line. At this point, press the Set Button
F
to bring
up the
SPEAKERSETUP
menu
(Figure 4).
Figure 4
The first line of the SPEAKER SETUPmenu
(Figure 4) allows you to switch the menu to change
either the underlying speaker size setting or the
exact crossover point used for that speaker group if
set to "Small". For the first pass through the menu,
leave the setting at its default option of
SIZE,
and then proceed as outlined below. Once the
speaker choices have been set you may wish to
return to this line to change the option so that the
crossover settings may be adjusted.
1. Before you start the speaker setting, you should
determine if you want all inputs being configured
with the same speaker size setting (
GLOBAL)
or if all inputs should be configured individually
(
INDEPENDENT).
To configure all inputs for "Global" or "Inde-
pendent" press the
⁄
Button
E
twice so that
the cursor is next to the
BASSMGRline.
This setting allows you to use the same speaker
configuration for all inputs, or to have different
settings for each input. In most cases the factory
default setting of
GLOBAL will be appropriate,
as most listeners do not need to have individual-
ized speaker settings. However, some listeners,
particularly those with full-range front speakers
that are used for both movies and music may pre-
fer that different speaker settings be used when
listening to music through a CD player as
opposed to a movie from a DVD player,VCR or
cable/satellite set top.
If you wish to customize the speaker size individu-
ally to each input, make certain that the cursor is
on the
BASSMGRline and press the
‹
/
›
Buttons
E
so that INDEPENDENT
appears in highlighted video. When this setting is
entered all speaker size settings will be shown
with their factory default size in the menu and all
other inputs will turn to
INDEPENDENT too.
Now you should enter the speaker size settings
prefered for the input selected, as described
below. Remember that in this case the size set-
tings just entered will apply to the current input
ONLY, and you will need to go back to the
IN/OUT menu to select another input, and
then return to this menu page again to change
the settings for the next input. Repeat the proce-
dure for any input where you wish to have a set
