option is selected, a full-range signal will be sent to the front left/right “main” speakers. The subwoofer will receive the front left and right bass frequencies under the crossover fre- quency selected in another setting on this menu, as described below, and also the LFE soundtrack.

9.When all initial speaker “size” settings have been made, you now have the option to take advantage of the AVR’s Quadruple Crossover sys- tem, which allows individual crossover settings to be made for each speaker group. In systems where full-range or tower speakers are used for the front soundstage or where different brands or models are in use at the various speaker posi- tions, this feature allows you to custom tailor the bass management and redirection circuits with a precision not previously possible. The low-fre- quency crossover point is set by the design of your speakers. It is defined as the frequency which is the lowest possible frequency the speaker is capable of reproducing. 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 three groupings, front left/right, center front and surrounds by looking at the specifications page of the 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 fig- ure to accurately configure the next group of set- tings.

The factory default setting for all speaker positions is 100Hz. If that setting is acceptable for all chan- nels, then no adjustments are needed and you may skip this section. However, should you wish to change one of the settings, please proceed to the SPEAKER X-OVERsubmenu, as shown in Figure 8.

To change the setting for any of the four speaker groups Left/Right, Center, Surround or Surround Back, press the ⁄/¤ Buttons Duntil the cursor is next to the line where you wish to make a change and then press the ‹/› Buttons

Euntil the desired setting appears. The available choices at which point low-frequency information will be sent to the subwoofer (or to the Front Left/Right speakers in case subwoofer is set to OFF), rather than to the speaker chan- nel, are 40Hz, 60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz, 150Hz and 200Hz. Pick the choice that is identi-

cal to the information for the speakers, or if an exact match is not possible, pick the closest choice that is ABOVE the speaker’s lowfrequency limit to avoid the creation of a low-frequency “hole” where your system will have no bass information.

In cases where LARGE has been selected as the front channel speaker option and L/R+LFE has been selected as the subwoofer option, the front channel sound information below the crossover point selected for the L/R front speakers (when fronts are set to "Small") will be sent to BOTH the front channel speakers and the subwoofer.

The crossover settings for the Left/Right, Center, Surround and Surround Back speakers are used to determine where bass information is sent when it is derived from the main channels of a source. The setting for the menu line shown as LFE is used to impose a low-pass filter point for the information in the Low Frequency Effects (LFE) channel that is a part of Dolby Digital- and DTS-encoded source material. While the LFE channel, which is the “.1” you see in surround sound designations, is restricted to low fre-quen- cy sounds, some mixes may include information that is higher in frequency than your subwoofer is capable of reproducing. To prevent unwanted sounds from being sent to subwoofers that can- not handle them and which do not have a built- in low-pass filter, the LFE option line enables you to select a setting for the low-pass filter that is part of the subwoofer feed from the LFE chan- nel. The settings available are the same as those tied to any one of the four available speaker positions on this submenu. We recommend that you use the frequency that is just slightly higher than the upper capability limit of your sub- woofer, as shown in the sub’s Owner’s Manual. When the cursor is on the LFE line, press the ‹/› Navigation Buttons Eto choose the appropriate setting.

Note that the crossover point for the surround speakers and the surround back speakers will be identical. That´s why no crossover point for the surround back speakers is selectable or shown in the menu.

Important Note: All settings for the crossover points will be "Global", i.e. they will be identical for all inputs no matter if the BASSMANAGER (see above) was configured for "Global" or "Independent".

10.When all speaker selections have been made, press the ¤ Button Duntil the cursor is next to the BACK TO MANUAL SETUP line and press the Set Button Fto return to the Manual setup submenu.

11.The Speaker Configuration may also be changed at any time without using the full-OSD on-screen menu system by pressing the Speaker Selector 6on the front panel or

on the remote control. Once the button is pressed, FRONT SPEAKER will appear in both the lower third of the video display and the Main Information Display Ò.

Within five seconds, either press the ‹/› buttons

7on the front panel or the ⁄/¤ buttons D on the remote to select a different speaker posi- tion, or press the Set Button @F to begin the adjustment process for the front left and right speakers.

When the Set button @ Fhas been pressed and the system is ready for a change to the front speaker setting, the on-screen display and Main Information Display Òwill read FRONT LARGE or FRONT SMALL depending on the current setting. Press the ‹/› buttons 7 on the front panel or the ⁄/¤ buttons Don the remote until the desired setting is shown, using the instructions for “large” or “small” shown earlier, then press the Set button @F.

If another speaker position needs to be changed, press the ‹/› buttons 7 on the front panel or the ⁄/¤ buttons Don the remote to select a different speaker position, press the Set button

@Fand then the ‹/› buttons 7 on the front panel or the ⁄/¤ buttons Don the remote until the correct speaker setting is shown and press the Set button @ Fagain to confirm the selection.

To assist in making these settings, the icons in the Speaker/Channel Input Indicators $ will change as the speaker type is selected at each position. When only the inner icon box is lit, the speaker is set for “small.” When the inner box and the two outer boxes with circles inside them are lit, the speaker is set for “large." When no indicator appears at a speaker location, that position is set for “none” or “no” speaker.

Note: These icons are available only when making setup changes without the use of the full OSD mode.

As an example, in the Figure below, all speakers are set for “large,” and a subwoofer is set.

Due the different distances between the listen- ing position for the front channel speakers and the surround speakers, the amount of time it takes for sound to reach your ears from the front or surround speakers is different. You may com-
