SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 25SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 25
When LARGE is selected, a full-range output will be
sent to the center speaker output, and NO center
channel signal will be sent to the subwoofer output.
NOTE: If you choose Logic 7 as the surround mode
for the particular input source for which you are con-
figuring your speakers, the DPR 1005 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
NONE is selected, no signals 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 chan-
nel outputs. When only front left and right speakers are
used, with no center or surround speakers, VMAx is a
good alternative mode.
When you have completed your selection for the cen-
ter channel, press the
¤
Navigation Button o to
move the cursor to
SURROUND.
Press the
‹
/
›
Navigation Button o to select the
option that best describes the surround speakers in your
system based on the definitions shown on this page.
When
SMALL is selected, low-frequency surround
channel sounds will be sent to the subwoofer output
only. If you choose this option and there is no sub-
woofer connected, you will not hear any low-frequency
sounds from the surround channels.
When
LARGE is selected, a full-range output will
be sent to the surround channel outputs, and NO sur-
round channel signals will be sent to the subwoofer.
When
NONE is selected, surround sound informa-
tion will be split between the front left/right outputs. For
optimal performance with no surround speakers, use
the Dolby Virtual Speaker mode.
When you have completed your selections for the
main surround channels, press the
¤ Navigation
Button
o to move the cursor to SURR BACK.
This line serves two functions: It not only configures
the setting for the surround back channels if present;
it also tells the DPR 1005’s processing system to
set the unit for either 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 operation.
In addition to the speaker “size,”
MAIN or
MULTI will appear on this line to display the Sur-
round Back channel amplifier status. When
MAIN
appears, the unit is set for 7.1-channel operation.
When
MULTI appears, the Surround Back amplifier
channels have been reconfigured so that they are fed
by the output of the Multiroom system. See page 39
for more information on configuring the Surround
Back amplifier channels.
Press the
‹/› Navigation Button o on the
remote to select the option that best describes the
speakers in use at the left and right back surround
positions based on the definitions on this page:
When
NONE is selected, the system will adjust so
that only 5.1-channel modes are available. When this
is the case for your system, you may wish to use the
surround back amplifier channels to power a second
set of speakers whose source is selected by the
DPR 1005’s multiroom system. See page 39 for
more information.
When
SMALL is selected, the system will adjust so
that the full complement of 6.1/7.1
modes are available,
and low-frequency information below the crossover
point will be sent to the subwoofer output. If you
choose this option and there is no subwoofer connected,
you will not hear any low-frequency sounds from the
surround back channels.
When
LARGE is selected, the system will adjust so
that the full complement of 6.1/7.1 surround process-
ing/decoding modes are available, and a full-range sig-
nal will be sent to the surround back channels, with no
low-frequency information sent to the subwoofer output.
When you have completed your selection for the
surround back channels, press the
¤
Navigation
Button
o to move the cursor to SUBWOOFER.
Press the
‹
/
›
Navigation Button o to select the
option that best describes your system.
The choices available for the subwoofer position will
depend on the settings for the other speakers, particu-
larly 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 DPR 1005,
press the
‹
/
›
Navigation Button o until
NONE appears. With this option, all bass infor-
mation
will be routed to the front left/right “main”
speakers.
• If a subwoofer is connected to the DPR 1005, 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
DPR 1005 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 sounds created for some
movies. Press
‹
/
›
Navigation Button o until
SUB (LFE) appears.
• 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 listen-
ing to, press the
‹
/
›
Navigation Button o
until SUB L/R+LFE appears. When this
option is selected, a full-range signal will be sent
to the front left/right “main” speakers, and the sub-
woofer will receive LFE information and the bass
frequencies under the selected crossover point.
When all initial speaker “size” settings have been
made, you now have the option to take advantage of
the DPR 1005’s Quadruple Crossover system, which
allows individual crossover settings to be made for
each speaker group. The low-frequency crossover
point is set by the design of your speakers. Depending
on the design and driver complement of your speakers,
it is defined as the frequency which is either the lowest
possible frequency the speaker is capable of repro-
ducing, or the frequency at which sound is sent to the
speaker’s internal low-frequency driver, as opposed to
the midrange driver.
Before making any changes to the settings for
the crossover point, we suggest that you find the
crossover point for the speakers in each of the four
groupings, front left/right, center front, surround and
surround back, by looking at the specifications page
of each speaker’s owner’s manual, by getting that
information from the manufacturer’s Web site, or
by contacting your dealer or the manufacturer’s
customer service department. You will need this figure
to accurately configure the next group of settings.
Note that when any speaker group other than the front
left/right speakers is set to
LARGE, the crossover
may not be adjusted, as the feed will be full-range,
with no sound being derived for the subwoofer from
that position.
The factory default setting for all speaker positions is
100Hz. If that setting is acceptable for all channels,
then no adjustments are needed and you may skip
this section. However, should you wish to change
one of the settings, please proceed by pressing the
⁄
Navigation Button o so that the cursor
moves back up to the
MODE line. Press the
‹
/
›
Navigation Button o so that X-OVER is high-
lighted and the menu data will change to the screen
shown in Figure 8.
