MAIN Speakers
Select LARGE for any speakers which are capable of good
bass performance. Frequency response will be FULL
RANGE.
Select SMALL for any speakers such as satellites with 5
or 6 inch woofers. They will then receive the higher
frequency range above the crossover point selected for
the subwoofer. Remember that if you are not completely
sure (or if you choose to play it safe at first) you can select
this setting to get things started and see how much (if
anything) is missing from the audio signal content in the
MAIN speakers.
SIDE-AXIS Speakers
Select LARGE for any speakers which are capable of good
bass performance. Frequency response will be FULL
RANGE.
Select SMALL for any speakers such as satellites with 5
or 6 inch woofers. They will then receive the higher
frequency range above the crossover point selected for
the subwoofer. Remember that if you are not completely
sure (or if you choose to play it safe at first) you can select
this setting to get things started and see how much (if
anything) is missing from the audio signal content in the
MAIN speakers.
Select OFF if you have no side-axis speakers. The size is
always the same as the main speakers, so do not set the
mains to LARGE, if the side-axis speakers are small and
not capable of good bass performance.
SURROUND Speakers
Select LARGE for any speakers which are capable of good
bass performance. Frequency response will be FULL
RANGE.
Select SMALL for any speakers such as satellites with 5
or 6 inch woofers. They will then receive the higher
frequency range above the crossover point selected for
the subwoofer. Remember that if you are not completely
sure (or if you choose to play it safe at first) you can select
this setting to get things started and see how much (if
anything) is missing from the audio signal content in the
MAIN speakers.
Select OFF if you have no surround speakers.
CENTER Speaker
In the OFF position, the center channel information is
redirected to the fronts. This is sometimes known as a
“PHANTOM” center channel.
In the ON position, the center channel can be configured
in the same manner as the MAIN speakers (Large or Small).
SURROUND BACK Speakers
Select OFF if you have no surround back speakers. The
information will be shared among the other surround
speakers, creating a phantom back channel.
SUBWOOFER
Select ON if you have a subwoofer. It will then receive
any LFE signals (from 5.1, 6.1 sources), and the bass from
any channels set to SMALL. If you have no subwoofer,
you would obviously need to select OFF so that other
speakers in the system can receive the bass that is otherwise
handled by the subwoofer.
Note: the bass management does not work for the 8-
Channel input, or for Zone 2. Therefore the speaker size
settings will have no effect and these channels will always
be full range.
SPEAKERS Menu - POSITION
This menu allows you to enter the distance from your
listening position to the various speakers. The PT-7010A
will then automatically adjust and correct the speaker delay
times. The sound from each speaker should arrive at the
listener seated in the primary listening position at the
correct time. Please note that the best sound stage and
imaging will result from careful attention to this parameter,
especially for the FRONT speakers.
The procedure is as follows:
1) Measure (in feet and inches) how far each speaker is
away from the center listening position of your home
theater.
2) In the OSD menu, use the remote control joystick arrow
buttons to enter the distance in feet for each speaker.
