This section will help you set up the audio portion of the D 200. SPEAKER SIZE, DISTANCE SETUP and LEVEL SETUP only affect the Analog Audio 5.1 Channel Outputs. The setup for the Digital Coaxial and Optical outputs is made in the menu of your surround controller or AV receiver. Refer to the owner’s manual of your surround sound processor or AV receiver for setting up your system speakers when using the digital outputs of the D 200.
SPEAKER SIZE
This is the first step in the Audio Setup of your D 200; it’s used to adapt the D 200 to the number, locations, and types of speakers in your system. The D 200 comes from the factory with all speakers set to SMALL because this applies to the majority of home theater systems.
The SMALL setting is for speakers with limited bass capacity (bass drivers smaller than 6”);
To reduce distortion and increase power handling for “small” speakers the D 200 filters out the bass signals and redirects them to the subwoofer channel. This bass diversion takes place at the frequency setting in the SIZE SETUP menu.
The LARGE setting is for larger speakers which can handle low bass without distortion and often when a subwoofer is not used in the system. There is no bass filtering. If you’re not sure if you should classify your speakers as “Small” or “Large,” watch a few movies scenes at SMALL and again at LARGE to determine which sounds better.
SUBWOOFER
Select YES if your system includes a subwoofer.
Select NO if you’re not using a subwoofer.
FRONT L&R
These are the left and right front speakers and may be set to LARGE or SMALL.
