nel presentation to all speakers, regardless of the number of speakers in use. See page 27 for a complete explanation of the 5 Stereo and 7 Stereo modes.

Speaker Setup

This menu tells the AVR 520 which type of speakers are in use. This is important as it adjusts the settings that determine which speakers receive low-frequency (bass) informa- tion. For each of these settings use the LARGE setting if the speakers for a particular position are traditional full-range loudspeakers that are capable of reproducing sounds below 100Hz. Use the SMALL set- ting for smaller, frequency-limited satellite speakers that do not reproduce sounds below 100Hz. Note that when “small” 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 specifica- tions in the speakers’ owner’s manual, or ask your dealer.

After the selections are made on the Dolby DTS, Logic 7 DSP (Surr) or stereo menus, press ⁄/¤ Buttons n, so that the cursor moves to the BACK TO MASTER MENU line and press ther Set Button p.

It is easiest to enter the proper settings for the speaker setup through the SPEAKER SETUP menu (Figure 5). If that menu is not already on your screen from the prior adjust- ments, press the OSD Button v to bring up the MASTER MENU (Figure 1), and then press the ¤ Button n twice so that the cur- sor is on the SPEAKER SETUP line. At this point, press the Set Button p to bring up the SPEAKER SETUP menu (Figure 5).

When the SPEAKER SETUP menu first appears, the on-screen cursor › will be at the top of the list of speaker positions, pointing toward the LEFT/RIGHT line, 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 o 37 so that either LARGE or SMALL appears, matching the appropriate description from the definitions shown above.

When SMALL is selected, low-frequency sounds will be sent only to the subwoofer out- put. If you choose this option and there is no subwoofer connected, you will not hear any low- frequency sounds from the front channels.

When LARGE is selected, a full-range output will be sent to the front left and front right outputs. Depending on the choice made in the SUBWOOFER line in this menu, bass information may also be directed to the front left/right speakers, a subwoofer or both.

When you have completed your selection for the front channel, press the ¤ Button n on the remote to move the cursor to CENTER.

Press the ‹/› Buttons o37 on the remote to select the option that best describes your system, based on the speaker definitions shown below.

When SMALL is selected, low-frequency center channel sounds will be sent only to the subwoofer output. If you choose this option and there is no subwoofer connected, you will not hear low-frequency sounds from the center channel speaker.

When LARGE is selected, a full-range output will be sent to the center speaker output, and NO center channel signal will be sent to the subwoofer output.

NOTE: If you choose Logic 7 as the surround mode for the particular input source for which you are configuring your speakers, the AVR 520 will not make the LARGE option available for the center speaker. This is due to the require- ments of Logic 7 processing, and does not indi- cate a problem with your receiver.

When NONE is selected, no signals will be sent to the center-channel output. The receiver will operate in a “phantom” center channel mode and center-channel information will

be sent to the left and right front channel outputs. When only front left and right speak-

ers are used, with no center or surround speak- ers, VMAx is a good alternative mode.

When you have completed your selection for the center channel, press the ¤ Button n on the remote to move the cursor to

SURROUND.

Press the ‹/› Buttons o 37 on the remote to select the option that best describes the sur- round speakers in your system based on the speaker definitions shown on this page.

When SMALL is selected, low-frequency surround channel sounds will be sent to the subwoofer output only. If you choose this option and there is no subwoofer connected, you will not hear any low frequency sounds from the surround speakers.

When LARGE is selected, a full-range output will be sent to the surround channel outputs, and NO surround channel signals will be sent to the subwoofer output.

When NONE is selected, surround-sound information will be split between the front left and front right outputs. For optimal perform- ance when no surround speakers are in use, the Dolby 3 Stereo mode should be used.

If the 6.1/7.1 configuration has been selected in the SURROUND SELECT menu, an additional configuration line is available on the menu screen to set the speaker type for the speakers connected to the Surround Back

Preamp Outputs 38 through an optional, external power amplifier. The choices and pro- cedure for configuring these speakers are iden- tical to those shown above for the main sur- round speakers.

When you have completed your selection for the surround channels, press the ¤ Button n on the remote to move the cursor to SUBWOOFER.

Press the ‹/› Buttons o 37 on the remote to select the option that best describes your system.

The choices available for the subwoofer posi- tion will depend on the settings for the other speakers, particularly the front left/right posi- tions.

If the front left/right speakers are set to SMALL, the subwoofer will automatically be set to SUB, which is the “on” position.
