The speakers that can handle a full range frequency signal should be set to “Large”.

• The speaker that cannot handle a full range frequency signal should be set to “Small”. The bass signal will be redirected to the front Large speakers or subwoofer if present.

If a speaker is not present (e.g. Center) you should set it to “None”.

If there is only one back speaker connected, select “1 Small” or “1 Large” depending on the size of the speaker. Connect the back speaker to the LEFT BACK output of the 7.1 output section.

The subwoofer filter can be bypassed if you wish to use the filter built into your powered subwoofer.

You can set the subwoofer crossover frequency from 40 Hz to 140 Hz in 10 Hz steps. The crossover frequency defines the frequency below which the low frequency signal does not go to small speakers, but is redirected to the large speakers or subwoofer.

Enhanced Bass duplicates the subwoofer information to both the large speakers and the subwoofer. You may desire this in some cases to get more bass from your system.

Classé recommends a conservative approach towards speaker setup. Setting up medium sized speakers as Large may degrade the sound by asking speakers to do more than they can. Subwoofer, especially the modern ones available now, are very good at filling in the low frequencies for a whole system. If you don’t let them provide the full amount of low frequencies required to balance your system you will often miss many of the sound effects in a program you’re watching.

5.3SOURCE SETUP:

Source setup is an easy task and should go quickly. In Source setup you assign the digital audio inputs to the AV1 through AV6 video inputs (up to the number of Video inputs you will be using) and to the AUD1 through AUD4 inputs (up to the number of Audio only inputs you will be using). The analog inputs are not assignable; VID1 through VID6 have AV1 through AV6 individually permanently assigned. AUD1 through AUD4 and PLAY are all analog inputs, but AUD1 – AUD4 can have a Digital input assigned to them. PLAY is an Analog-Only two channel input intended for use with the Monitor Out of a quality tape recorder. PLAY may also be used as the input of a processor loop if you wish to add an equalizer. (Notice there are three REC outputs.) See the notes above in Section 1 which discusses utilizing both a digital input and an analog input for each source.

As you can see from the on-screen display on the next page, the individual inputs are numbered 1 through 10, the first six are the dedicated Video sources (AV1 – AV6) and 7 through 10 are dedicated as Audio-only sources (AUD1 – AUD4).

There are seven Digital inputs. Each may be assigned to any of the ten inputs, including assigning one digital input to more than one Source. If, for example, you wanted to utilize a CD/DVD player like our CD/DVD-1 as both a CD player and a DVD player you might want to assign the AES/EBU digital input to both the AV1 source and to the AUD1 source.
