JBL Complete Guide for AVR 580 Stereo Amplifier Setup and Features
Page 24

On the STEREO menu, the choices made with the ‹/› Buttons o 37 on the remote may either turn the surround processing off for a traditional two- channel stereo presentation, or select

5 STEREO or 7 STEREO depend- ing on whether the 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 output is in use. The latter modes feed a two- channel presentation to all speakers, regardless of the number of speakers in use. See page 34 for a complete explana- tion of the 5 Stereo and 7 Stereo modes.

After the selections are made on the Dolby, DTS, Logic 7, DSP (Surround) or Stereo menus, press the ⁄/¤ Buttons

nso that the cursor moves to the BACK TO MASTER MENU line and press the Set Button p.

Speaker Setup

This menu tells the AVR580 which type of speakers are in use. This is important as it adjusts the settings that decide whether your system will use the “5-channel” or “6-channel/7-channel” modes, as well as determining which speakers receive low-frequency (bass) information.

For each of these settings, use the LARGE setting if the speakers for a particular position are traditional full- range loudspeakers. Use the SMALL setting for smaller, frequency-limited satellite speakers that do not reproduce sounds below 200Hz. Note that when “small” speakers are used, a subwoofer is required to reproduce low-frequency sounds. Remember that the “large” and “small” descriptions do not refer to the actual physical size of the speakers, but to their ability to reproduce low-frequency sounds. If you are in doubt as to which category describes your speakers, consult the specifications in the speakers’ owner’s manual, or ask your dealer.

This menu screen also allows you to enter the settings for the AVR580’s Triple Crossover feature, which allows a differ- ent crossover point to be used for the front left/right, center and surround speakers. In systems where full-range or tower speakers are used for the front soundstage or where different models are in use at the various speaker posi- tions, this feature allows you to cus- tomize the bass management and redi- rection circuits with a precision not previ- ously possible.

The factory default settings are “small” for the front left and right, center, and surround left and right speakers, with a subwoofer automatically enabled. If your system includes a 5.1 speaker system with smaller satellites for all channels and a subwoofer, then you do not need to configure your speakers and you may skip the rest of this section at this time.

It is easiest to enter the proper set- tings for speaker setup through the SPEAKER SETUP menu (Figure 5). If that menu is not already on your screen from the prior adjustments, press the OSD Button v to bring up the MASTER MENU (Figure 1), and then press the ¤ Button n until the cursor is on the SPEAKER SETUP line. At this point, press the Set Button p to bring up the SPEAKER SETUP menu (Figure 5).

The first line of the SPEAKER SETUP menu (Figure 5) allows you to switch the menu to change either the underlying speaker size setting or the exact crossover point used for that speaker group. For the first pass through the menu, leave the setting at its default option of SIZE, and then proceed as outlined below. Once the speaker choices have been set, you may wish to return to this line to change the option so that the crossover settings may be adjusted.

Begin the speaker setup process by mak- ing certain that the cursor is pointing toward the LEFT/RIGHT line, which sets the configuration for the front left and right speakers. If you wish to make a change to the front speakers’ configura- tion, press the ‹/› Buttons o 37

so that either LARGE or SMALL appears, matching the appropriate descrip- tion from the definitions shown above.

When SMALL is selected, low- frequency sounds will be sent only to the subwoofer output. If you choose this option and there is no subwoofer connected, you will not hear any low-frequency sounds from the front channels.

When LARGE is selected, a full-range output will be sent to the front left and front right outputs. Depending on the choice made in the SUBWOOFER line in this menu, bass information may also be directed to the front left/right speakers, a subwoofer or both.

NOTE: When the front speakers are set to the LARGE option and the surround mode is set to "Surround Off", or pure two- channel stereo, when an analog signal source is present it will be routed directly from the input to the volume control with- out being digitized or processed. If you have full-range front speakers and wish to remove all digital processing from the cir- cuit path, select this configuration. If you wish to set this option for use with only one input, such as a CD player that uses an external DAC or an optional, external phono preamp, you may also wish to choose the INDEPENDENT setting on the BASS MGR line at the bottom of this menu so that only those inputs where the analog bypass is desired will be routed in this fashion, while other analog inputs such as a VCR or cable box will be digitized for surround processing.

When you have completed your selection for the front channel, press the ¤ Button

non the remote to move the cursor to

CENTER.

Press the ‹/› Buttons o 37 on the remote to select the option that best describes your system, based on the speaker definitions shown below.

When SMALL is selected, low-frequency center channel sounds will be sent only to the subwoofer output. If you choose this option and there is no subwoofer con- nected, you will not hear low-frequency sounds from the center channel.

When LARGE is selected, a full-range output will be sent to the center speaker output, and NO center channel signal will be sent to the subwoofer output.

NOTE: If you choose Logic 7 as the sur- round mode for the particular input source for which you are configuring your speakers, the AVR580 will not make the “large” option available for the center speaker. This is due to the requirements of Logic 7 processing, and does not indi- cate a problem with your receiver.
