Any changes will be reflected in the total Number Of Speakers displayed at the top of the screen.

The Assigned AMP setting includes four options:

ssSurround Back: Select the Surr. Back option if your main system is a 7.1-channel system and you are using surround back left and surround back right speakers.

ssZone 2: Select the Zone 2 option if your main system is a 5.1-channel system and you want to use the Assigned Amp speaker outputs to power speakers in Zone 2. See Install a Multizone System, on page 21, for more information.

ssFront Height: Select the Front Height option if your main system is a 7.1-channel system and you are using Front Height speakers with Dolby Pro Logic IIz.

ssOff: Select Off if you have not connected speakers to the Assigned Amp speaker outputs.

NOTE: When you set Assigned AMP to “Zone 2,” the speakers connected to the Assigned Amp outputs will not be configured during the EzSet/EQ process. Configure the speakers manually, as explained below.

When you have finished, select the Back option or use the Back/Exit button.

Crossover (Size)

After you return to the Speaker Setup menu, navigate to the Crossover (Size) line and press the OK button to display the Adjust Crossover Frequencies menu.

The AVR will display only those speaker groups you set to On in the Number of Speakers menu.

Refer to Table A3 to see the crossover frequencies that you wrote down for your speakers.

For each speaker group, select one of these eight crossover frequencies: Large, 40Hz, 60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz, 150Hz or 200Hz. If the speaker’s crossover frequency is below 40Hz, select the first option, “Large.” This setting doesn’t refer to the speaker’s physical size but to its frequency response, which is also called “full range.”

We recommend that you set the Subwoofer Crossover Frequency to the same frequency you used for the Front Left & Right speaker setting. If you set the Front Left & Right speakers to “Large”, we recommend that you experiment with different Subwoofer Crossover Frequency settings to find the one that produces the best blend between the subwoofer and Front Left & Right speakers with your system in your room.

Write down the settings in Table A6 in the Appendix.

When you have finished entering the settings, select Back or press the Back/Exit button.

Manual Speaker Setup

Sub Mode

Move the cursor to the Sub Mode line. This setting depends upon the Crossover setting you selected for the front left and right speakers.

ssIf you set the front speakers to a numeric crossover frequency, the subwoofer setting will always be SUB. All low-frequency information will always be sent to the subwoofer. If you don’t have a subwoofer, either upgrade to full-range front left and right speakers or add a subwoofer at the earliest opportunity.

ssIf you set the front speakers to LARGE, select one of the three following settings for the subwoofer:

L/R+LFE: This setting sends all low-frequency information to the subwoofer, including a) information that would normally be played through the front left and right speakers and b) the special low-frequency effects (LFE) channel information.

OFF: Select this setting when no subwoofer is in use. All low-frequency information will be sent to the front left and right speakers.

LFE: This setting plays low-frequency information contained in the left and right program channels through the front left and right speakers, and directs only the LFE-channel information to the subwoofer.

Set the Speaker Distances

As described above in Step Two, when you measured the distances from each of your speakers to the listening position, your AVR provides an adjustment that compensates for the different distances so that the sound from each speaker will reach the listening position at the proper time. This process will improve the clarity and detail of the sound.

On the Speaker Setup menu, move the cursor to the Distance line and press the OK button to display the Adjust Speaker Distance menu.

Enter the distance from each speaker to the listening position that you measured in Step Two and recorded in Table A4 in the Appendix (see page 46). Select a speaker, then use the Left/Right buttons to change the measurement. You can enter distances between 0 and 30 feet (9.1m). The default distance for all speakers is 10 feet (3m).

The default unit of measurement is feet. To change the unit to meters, return to the main AVR menu. Select the System Settings menu, then scroll down to the General Setup section and select the Unit of Measure line. Press the OK button to change the setting.

NOTE: If you set the Assigned AMP channels to Zone 2, you will not be able to adjust their delay settings.
