Sub Mode, Adjust Speaker Distance Menu

System Configuration

Sub Mode

Move the cursor to the Sub Mode line to program bass management for the subwoofer. The subwoofer’s setting depends upon how you programmed the front left and right speakers.

•• If you set the front speakers to a numeric crossover frequency, the subwoofer setting will be LFE, and you won’t be able to change it.

All low-frequency information will always be sent to the subwoofer.

If you don’t have a subwoofer, we recommend that you either upgrade to full- range speakers or add a subwoofer to your system at the earliest opportunity.

•• If you set the front speakers to LARGE, you may select from two possible settings for the subwoofer.

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

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

NOTE: The Speaker/Channel Indicators on the front panel of the receiver (see Figure on page 31) will display the speaker size settings as follows.

For each speaker configured numerically, a single box will appear in the position for that speaker. For each speaker configured as LARGE, a double box will appear in its position. If a speaker is configured as OFF, no box will appear. The subwoofer will be indicated by a single box, or no box if no subwoofer has been configured. The letters inside the boxes appear when a digital signal is being received that has that channel discretely encoded. The letters flash when the signal is not present, such as when a DVD is paused. A line will connect the SBL and SBR boxes when a 6.1-channel signal is detected, indicating that the same signal is playing through both speakers.

Adjust Speaker Distance Menu

As explained above in Step Two – Measure Speaker Distances, sometimes the speakers are placed at different distances from the listeningposition, which can muddy the sound, as sounds are heard earlier or later than desired.

Even if all of your speakers are placed the same distance from the listening position, do not skip this menu.

On the Manual Speaker Setup menu, move the cursor to the Distance line and press the OK Button to display the Adjust Speaker Distance menu. See Figure 12.

Figure 12 – Adjust Speaker Distance

The default unit of measurement is feet. If you wish to change the unit to meters, press the Back/Exit Button until you return to the main AVR menu. Scroll down to the System line, and select it to view the System Settings menu. Scroll down this menu to the General AVR Settings section, and select the Unit of Measure line. Press the OK Button to change the setting from Feet to Meters.

Use the KL Buttons to move the cursor to the Front Left line, press the OK Button then use the M N Buttons to change the measurement as needed. The values vary between 0 and 9 meters, with a default of 3 meters for all speakers. Use the M N Buttons to move to each speaker in turn – Center, Front Right, Surround Right, Surround Back Right, Surround Back Left, Surround Left and Subwoofer, if present in your system.

NOTE: When the multiroom system is in use, the surround back channels are automatically assigned to the multiroom system, as mentioned earlier. You will not be able to adjust the delay settings for these channels, and the cursor will skip past them.
