System Configuration
The tone controls may also be adjusted at any time by pressing the Tone Mode Button 8
on the front panel or on the remote control. The first press will bring up the Tone Mode setting in the Semi-OSD on-screen display and in the Lower Display Line B. Press the ‹/ › Buttons 7$on the front panel or ⁄/¤ D on the remote to activate or disable the tone controls as shown above.
To change the tone control settings, press the Tone Mode Button 8 until the desired setting (BASS or TREBLE) appears in the semi- OSD on-screen display and in the Lower Display Line B. When you see the correct name press the ‹/ › Buttons 7$on the front panel or ⁄/¤ Don the remote to make the adjustments. If no buttons are pressed for five seconds the displays will return to their normal operation and any changes will be stored in the AVR's memory.
NOTE: Although all other settings in the IN/OUTSETUPMenu are specific to the input being adjusted, the Tone settings are global and will carry through to all input sources. There is no need to adjust these settings when configuring subsequent inputs.
Speaker Setup
This menu tells the AVR which type of speakers are in use. This is important as it adjusts the settings that determine which speakers receive low-frequency (bass) information. For each of these settings use the LARGEsetting if the speakers for a particular position are traditional full-range loudspeakers that are capable of reproducing sounds below 80Hz. Use the SMALLsetting for smaller, frequency-limited satellite speakers that do not reproduce sounds below 80Hz or 100Hz or mid-size speakers that cannot reproduce frequencies below 40 or 60 Hz (selectable). Note that when “small” front 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.
Notes:
•As the speaker settings need to be made for each input individually, you can determine which speaker should be used depending on the input source selected. So it´s possible e.g. to turn off the Center and/or the Sub with any music source selected and to use them with any movie input source.
•With the currently selected input all speaker settings will be copied to all other surround modes (as far as speakers are used with them) and need not be repeated when another sur- round mode is selected with that input.
•You can select four X-over frequencies: 40Hz, 60Hz, 80Hz and 100Hz. As the frequency selected will affect all speakers which are set to "SMALL", you should select that frequency fitting the best with the "smallest" speaker in your system as per the definitions below.
•The default setting for all speakers is "SMALL" and the Sub "ON".
To start with the speaker setting, first select any of the DTS Neo:6 modes as with them all speak- ers and all speaker modes are available. It is eas- iest to select these modes directly, without the on-screen display, so press the OSD button L to turn the on-screen display off if it is still visi- ble. Then press the DTS Neo:6 button &on
the front panel or | on the remote. |
1.It is easiest to enter the proper settings for the speaker setup through the SPEAKER SETUP menu (Figure 3). So press the OSD Button Lto bring up the MASTER MENU (Figure 1), and then press the ¤ Button Donce so that the cursor is on the SPEAKER SETUP line. At this point, press the Set Button Fto bring up the SPEAKER SETUP menu (Figure 3).

2.The first line on the SPEAKERSETUP menu allows you to configure the AVR for either standard 5.1 or advanced 6.1/7.1 operation. With the on-screen › cursor at the CH CONFIGline, press the Set Button Fand
then press the ‹ or › Buttons E so that
5.1is highlighted if you have no surround back speakers installed, or 6.1/7.1 if you have one or two speakers connected to the
Surround Back Preamp Outputs | through |
optional, external power amplifiers. | |
Making this selection will set the surround mode options for the AVR so that only the correct modes for the number of speakers in your specif- ic system will be available. Should you change your system and add Surround Back speakers at a later date, it is important to change this setting so that advanced surround modes such as THX Surround EX, 7 Channel Stereo, Logic 7/7.1, DTS-ES 6.1 Discrete and Matrix, DTS+NEO:6, and DTS NEO:6 will be available.
Important Note: Moreover this setting is linked with the Surround Back Speaker selection outlined below, both settings will turn on (”6.1/7.1”) or off (”5.1”) these speakers in the same manner.
When the desired selection is made, press the
¤Button Dto begin the speaker configura- tion process.
3.Once the setting is made for 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 operation, the on-screen cursor › will be at the top of the list of speaker positions, pointing toward the LEFT/RIGHTline, which sets the configuration for the front left and right speakers. If you wish to make a change to the front speakers’ configuration, press the ‹/› Buttons E so that either LARGEor SMALLappears, matching the appropriate description from the definitions shown above.
When SMALLis selected, low-frequency front channel sounds below the x-over frequency selected (see above and item 9 below) 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 with front channel signals.
When LARGEis selected, a full-range output will be sent to the front left and front right outputs. Depending on the choice made in the SUBWOOFERline in this menu (see below), the front left and right bass information may also be directed to the subwoofer.
Important Note: When a speaker set with a subwoofer and two front satellites connected to the Sub´s speaker outputs is used, the Sub´s inputs must be connected to the Front speaker outputs and LARGEmust be selected for the front speakers.
4.When you have completed your selection for the front channel, press the ¤ Button Don the remote to move the cursor to CENTER.
