SURROUND SET UP
memo
If you have a subwoofer and like lots of bass,
it may seem logical to select LARGE for your
front speakers and leave the subwoofer
selected. This may not, however, yield the
best bass results. Depending on the size and
shape of your room you may actually
experience a decrease in the amount of bass
due to what is called "low frequency
cancellations." If you have a subwoofer, listen
to the bass response with the front speakers
set to LARGE and SMALL alternatively and
let your ears judge which sounds best.
If you have a subwoofer, the safest option is
to route all the bass sounds to it by selecting
SMALL for the front speakers.
Setting Up for Surround Sound
AUTO : All speakers are set automatically. (The remote
control must be hooked up to the front panel in order to
use this setting.)
For MANUAL FREE, select it and press ENTER. Then go
to step 3.
For MANUAL THX, select it and press ENTER. Then go
to step 3.
For AUTO, select it and press ENTER. Be prepared for
loud test tones and make sure the room is free of ambient
noise (see memo page 15). When you see OK on the OSD
the setup is finished. Go to step 9.

screen.

With the 5∞ buttons choose the set of
speakers that you want to set.
If you selected MANUAL THX in step 2 set all speakers,
except for surround back, to SMALL.
6
Use the 2 3 buttons to choose the size
and number for each set of speakers as
well as LARGE, SMALL, YES, NO or
PLUS.
7
Repeat steps 5 & 6 for all speakers
channels.
8
Use the ∞ button to go to the next screen.
9
Use the 2 3 buttons to choose a
Crossover Frequency of 50 Hz, 80 Hz,
100 Hz, 150 Hz or 200 Hz.
Certain bass sounds will play back from the subwoofer if
you selected it as YES (or PLUS), or from the front
speakers if you selected them as LARGE.
This setting decides where the cutoff will be between
those bass sounds playing back from the speaker selected
as above and the bass sounds for the entire soundtrack,
which play back from all speakers used. If you selected
MANUAL THX in step 2 the crossover frequency is fixed at
80kHz and this screen does not appear.
