Bass Peak Limiter
The AVR 8500 includes a bass peak level limiter
as part of the THX Ultra program to protect your
subwoofer from being damaged by excessive
levels. Note that if you are using full range front
left/right speakers instead of a conventional
subwoofer,the settings for the Bass Peak Limiter
will apply to those speakers.
To set the Bass Peak Limiter you must be at the
BASSPEAKLEVELMENU(figure 9). If
that menu is not on the screen, press the OSD
Button
L
and then press the
¤
Button
D
until the on-screen
›
cursor is next to BASS
PEAKLEVEL. Press the Set Button
F
to
display that menu.

As indicated in the menu, when you start the
process a special test tone will be heard through
the subwoofer or front/left right speakers,
depending on your system's configuration.Press
the Volume Up Button
d
until the sound
from the subwoofer or front speakers' low
frequency drivers sounds distorted or crackly.
At that point IMMEDIATELY press the Set
Button
F
.
At this point the maximum setting will be
entered, the test noise will stop and the unit will
return to the MASTERMENU.
When all settings and adjustments have been
made, press the OSD Button
L
to return to
normal operation of the AVR.
Once the settings outlined on the previous
pages have been made, the AVR is ready for
operation.While there are some additional
settings to be made, these are best done after
you have had an opportunity to listen to a
variety of sources and different kinds of program
material.These advanced settings are described
on pages 39 to 40 of this manual. In addition,
any of the settings made in the initial
configuration of the unit may be changed at any
time.As you add new or different sources or
speakers, or if you wish to change a setting to
better reflect your listening taste, simply follow
the instructions for changing the settings for
that parameter as shown in this section.
Note that any settings changed at any time, also
when the discrete buttons are used only, will be
stored in memory in the AVR, also if it´s turned
off completely, unless it will be reset (see page
52).The settings will either depend on the input
(Speaker configuration, analog/digital input
selection, surround mode) or on the surround
mode selected (speaker output level) or be
independent from any input or surround mode
(crossover,only depending on the front speaker
configuration),as described on previous pages.
Having completed the setup and configuration
process for your AVR, you are about to
experience the finest in music and home-
theater listening. Enjoy!
