Notes on Setting Crossover Frequencies

You may find the following suggestions helpful in setting good crossover points for your speakers.

nIf you hear distortion from a particular speaker during passages where the bass is loud, that speaker’s crossover is probably set too low. Increase the crossover frequency until the distortion disappears.

nA medium-sized tower speaker usually works well with a 40 or 60Hz crossover point.

nA standard-sized home theater “LCR-type” speaker works well with an 80 or 100Hz crossover point.

nSlim, on-wall speakers designed to go with flat-screen (LCD and plasma) TVs tend to work well with a 100 or 120Hz crossover point.

nMiniature satellite speakers, ones measuring 4 to 7" high, often have a crossover point of 120 or 150Hz.

Surround Setting Configurations

The items on the Surround Configuration menu enable you to adjust the parameter settings available for some of the Model 1070’s surround modes. In many cases the factory defaults are a good starting point, and you may wish to skip this menu during the initial configuration of a new Model 1070 and return to them later.

To enter Surround Configuration settings:

1.Press the MENU button on the front panel or the remote to display the Main Menu.

The Main Menu appears on-screen:

Night Mode

Night Mode controls the use of dynamic range compression that reduces the intensity of loud sounds and raises the level of very soft sounds, for example, when watching a movie with some whispered dialog followed immediately by a loud explosion. This circuit works only with Dolby Digital sources, playing signals received through a digital input. This circuitry is useful when listening to movies with lowered overall volume without reducing the relative intensity of loud sounds in relation to those with lower level.

To activate Night Mode:

1.From the Surround Config menu, press or to move the cursor to NIGHT MODE.

2.Press the and buttons on the front panel or remote to toggle between ON and OFF.

Select ON to engage the Night mode.

Select OFF to disengage the compressor circuit and experience an audio signal’s full dynamic range.

Panorama

Panorama extends the front stereo image to the surround channels, creating a more enveloping, wraparound effect. Panorama is a non-adjustable, on/off feature.

To activate Panorama mode:

1.From the Surround Config menu, press or to move the cursor to panorama.

2.Press the and buttons on the front panel or remote to toggle between ON and OFF.

Select ON to engage the Panorama circuitry.

Select OFF to disengage the Panorama circuitry.

Center Width

Center Width blends sound from the center channel into the left and right channels to create a more seamless front soundstage. Experiment to see which setting sounds best to you. The default setting of STEP 3 is a good starting point for many systems and types of material.

To adjust Center Width:

1.From the Surround Config menu, press or to move the cursor to center width.

2.Press and buttons to adjust Center Width anywhere from STEP 0 to STEP 7.

Step 0 provides no blending from center to left and right front speakers at all.

Steps 1 and 2 feed a small amount of the center channel feed into the left and right front speakers.

Step 3 is the factory default,

Steps 4, 5 and 6 begin to widen the front sound stage by feeding increasing amounts of the center channel into the left and right front speakers.

Step 7 shuts off the center channel speaker entirely. At this setting the left and right front speakers create a “phantom” center channel.
