SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 23
5. Press the
‹
/
›
Buttons
Ea
on the
remote
to select the option that best describes your
center speaker
,based on the speaker definitions
shown below.
When SMALLis selected,low-frequency
center channel sounds will be sent to the Fronts,
if they are set to LARGEand Sub is turned off
(see below).When Sub is on,low frequency cen-
ter 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 NO
center channel signal will be sent to the sub-
woofer output (except when the Pro Logic II
Music mode is in use).
NOTE: If you choose Logic 7 as the surround
mode for the particular input source for which
you are configuring your speakers, the AVR will
not make the LARGE option available for the
center speaker.This is due to the requirements of
Logic 7 processing, and does not indicate a
problem with your receiver.
When NONEis selected,no signals will be sent
to the center-channel output.The receiver will
operate in a “phantom” center channel mode.
Center-channel information will be sent to the
left and right front channel outputs and the cen-
ter channel bass will be sent to the subwoofer
output when SUBL/R+LFEis selected in
the SUBWOOFERline in this menu (see
below).This mode is needed if no Center speak-
er is used. Note that when the Logic 7 Cinema
surround mode is selected a Center speaker
must be used, the Logic 7 modes Music and
Enhance work well without a Center too.
6.When you have completed your selection for
the center channel, press the
¤
Button
D
on the remote to move the cursor to
SURROUND.
7. Press the
‹

Buttons
Ea
on the remote
to select the option that best describes the sur-
round speakers in your system based on the
speaker definitions shown above.
When SMALLis 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 any analog surround mode the rear
bass feed depends on the mode selected and
the setting of the Sub and front speakers.
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 infor-
mation will be split between the front left and
front right outputs. For optimal performance
when no surround speakers are in use, the Dolby
3 Stereo mode should be used.
When you are using surround back speakers
with your system, press the
¤
Button
D
on
the remote to move the cursor to SURR
BACKand set the speaker type for the speak-
ers connected to the Surround Back Preamp
Outputs
C
through an optional, external
power amplifier.The choices and procedure for
configuring these speakers are identical to those
shown above for the main surround speakers.
8.When you have completed your selection for
the surround channels, press the

on the remote to move the cursor to
SUBWOOFER.
9. Press the

Buttons
Ea
on the
remote to select the option that best describes
your system.
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, press
the
‹

Buttons
Ea
on the remote so
that NONEappears in the on-screen menu.
When this option is selected, all bass informa-
tion 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 sub-
woofer speakers to take advantage of the spe-
cial bass created for certain movies.To select
that option press the
‹
/
›
Buttons
Ea
on the remote so that SUB(LFE)
appears in the on-screen menu.
• If a subwoofer is connected and you wish to
use it for bass reproduction in conjunction
with the main front left/right speakers, regard-
less of the type of program source or Surround
mode you are listening to, press the
‹
/
›
Buttons
Ea
on the remote so that
SUB L/R+LFEappears in the on-
screen menu.When this option is selected,a
full-range signal will be sent to the front
left/right “main” speakers,and also to the LFE
soundtrack.The subwoofer will receive the
front left and right bass frequencies under the
crossover frequency selected in the next option
setting on this menu, as described below.
10.When you have completed your selection for
the subwoofer,press the
¤
Button
D
on the
remote to change the cursor to X-OVER
FREQ.The crossover setting may only be
adjusted using the on-screen display system.
At this line, you will select the frequency under
which bass information is directed to the
Subwoofer Output ∞ and above which the
remaining signal is directed to all speakers that
are set to SMALL.When making
these selec-
tions, choose the crossover frequency
that is
closest to the lower frequency limit of your
smallest speaker in use.This figure is normally
printed in the owner’s manual or data sheet for
the speakers; or consult the speaker’s manufac-
turer.
• When you use large full range speakers for all
channels, able to reproduce bass below 40Hz
with sufficient power,choose 40Hz, and
LARGEfor all speakers. In this case the sub-
woofer will support the front speakers with all
frequencies below 40Hz.
• When any of your speakers has been set to
SMALL,the crossover frequencies 40Hz or
60Hz should be selected to match typical mid-
size speakers, that cannot handle lower fre-
quencies with sufficient level. Or select the fre-
quencies 80Hzor 100Hzto match
the typical crossover points of the smaller
speakers used in satellite speaker systems.
Choose the option that is closest to your
speakers’ design. If you are using THX certified
speakers throughout your system, the
crossover should be set to 80Hz, all speakers
set to SMALLand the Subwoofer(s) must be
connected.
11.When the crossover frequency selection has
been made, press the
