4SELECT “NO CHANGE,” “FORCE ON,” “FORCE OFF” OR “EXTRA BASS”

AS THE SETTING FOR YOUR SUBWOOFER IN THIS SURROUND MODE

If you select no change as the sub mode for all your surround modes, the AVP2 will leave the AVP2’s bass management settings as they had been prior to selecting this surround mode. This no change setting is best used on all surround modes or none; if you elect to specify force on or force off in some modes, you should probably do so for all modes.

If (for example) you prefer to ensure that a subwoofer is included for mov- ies and removed when listening to music, you should set speakers for a biamplified system (with whatever crossover frequency best supports your speakers); then set the movie-related surround modes for sub mode: force on; and set the music-oriented surround modes to sub mode: force off. This way, your subwoofer will automatically be engaged or disengaged as you change between (for example) Dolby Digital and stereo surround.

The extra bass setting sends all deep bass information to both the full range Left and Right speakers and to the subwoofer. Technically, this is “re- dundant” bass, though in some situations it may result in smoother in-room bass response, due to the way your speakers are interacting with the room’s acoustics. Consult with your dealer on how best to use this feature, or whether it even applies to your situation.

5IF YOU HAVE DUAL DRIVE SURROUND SPEAKERS, SELECT EITHER

“DIPOLE” OR “BIPOLE” FOR THE DEFAULT SETTING OF YOUR SPEAKERS FOR THIS SURROUND MODE

If you have not already selected dual drive as the way you wish to utilize

your auxiliary channels (in the set speakers menu), this option will not

even appear. This is normal, and intended to avoid misleading you, since the setting would have no meaning without dual drive speakers.

6PRESS “ENTER” TO SAVE YOUR CHANGES; REPEAT FOR ALL OTHER SURROUND MODES, AS NEEDED

Note that if you change only a single surround mode, the others will re- mains at their factory default settings of no offsets and sub mode = default. This will cause even offsets entered at the front panel to be reset to all ze- ros when selecting surround modes other than the one you altered. (All the more reason to live with the system for a while before electing to customize it in this way. You should know your preferences with a fair degree of cer- tainty before automating them to this extent.)
