EXPERT Setup
The settings here can only be done if you've performed the more basic preliminary setups. Thus, before doing these
settings do either AUTO SETTING on page 13 or NORMAL setup page 40. These settings are to further heighten your
surround sound. They are not absolutely necessary but may give more defined and enjoyable surround sound. You
can decide if you want to make these settings or not. You only need to make these settings once (unless you change
the placement of your current speaker system, add new speakers or components to your system, etc.). These setup
operations use your TV to display the settings and choices so be sure your TV and receiver are properly hooked up.
1 Turn on the receiver and your TV,
press RECEIVER on the remote con-
trol.
Make sure your TV is set to the receiver.
2 Press the SYSTEM SETUP button.
The menu possibilities appear on your TV.
3 SURROUND SETUP should be selected
(if it's not use the  buttons to
select it). Press the ENTER button.
4 Select EXPERT with the  buttons.
Press the ENTER button.
5 Follow the order below to make
expert settings. Use the  buttons
to navigate through the menus.
When you have the setting you want
in particular menu, press ENTER.
In each mode, the current settings are displayed on the
screen.
CROSSOVER NETWORK (page 97)
This feature determines which frequencies will be sent to
the subwoofer (or large speakers).
FINE CHANNEL LEVEL (page 98)
This feature balances the sound output level of your
speakers more finely than in the NORMAL setup.
FINE CHANNEL DELAY (page 99)
This feature adjusts the delay level of your speakers more
finely than in the NORMAL setup.
ACOUSTIC CAL EQ (page 100)
This feature allows you to adjust the amount of a certain
frequency in a soundtrack, acting as a kind of room
equalizer for your speakers.
BASS PEAK LEVEL (page 104)
Dolby Digital and DTS audio sources include ultra-low
bass tones. Set the bass peak level as needed to prevent
the ultra-low bass tones from distorting the sound from
the speakers.
D-RANGE CONTROL (page 105)
This feature makes possible excellent surround sound
effects when listening to Dolby Digital and DTS sources at
low volumes.
