would select 60Hz for the front speakers on this line. This setting ONLY affects redirected bass and does not affect the LFE channel in any way. The OFF setting (available only for the subwoofer) sends a full-range signal to your subwoofer so that you can use its built- in low-pass filter.

NOTE: When a speaker is set to LARGE on the SPEAKER SETUP menu or on this MENU, the crossover setting is not available since, by definition, a LARGE speaker plays full-range with no bass redirection to the subwoofer and no crossover. Likewise, the OFF setting for the subwoofer crossover is not available for SMALL speakers, since SMALL means that the speaker will redirect its bass below a given crossover point to the subwoofer. In addition, the CROSSOVER setting is not available for the MULTI INPUT.

DOLBY (large/small/none): Sets the cur- rent speaker (shown in the first line) to LARGE, SMALL, or NONE, overriding the master set- ting from the SPEAKER SETUP menu. This set- ting will ONLY take effect with Dolby Digital or Dolby Pro Logic II decoding.

DTS (large/small/none): The same op- tions described for Dolby above, except these settings ONLY take effect with DTS and DTS Neo:6 decoding.

STEREO/MPEG (large/small/none): The same options described for Dolby above, except these settings ONLY take effect in STE- REO surround mode.

MUSIC (large/small/none): The same options described for Dolby above, except these settings ONLY take effect with any of the DSP MUSIC surround modes.

NOTE: When the front speakers are set to use the master crossover frequency on the AD- VANCED SPEAKER SETUP menu, the surround mode specific “large/small/none” settings are not available for the other speakers. These speakers will use the setting determined in the basic SPEAKER SETUP menu.

MAIN MENU

The SUBWOOFER SETUP menu allows selec- tion of the master subwoofer crossover fre- quency and independent adjustment of sub- woofer level for each surround mode.

CROSSOVER(40Hz/60Hz/80Hz/100Hz/ 120Hz/150Hz/200Hz/OFF): This setting specifies a master low-pass filter for the sub- woofer and a corresponding high-pass filter for all SMALL speakers in the system at the selected frequency. To adjust the crossover frequency, highlight the CROSSOVER line using the UP/DOWN buttons. Then, use the +/– buttons to choose the master crossover point. The 80Hz or 100Hz crossover points are the most common in home theater systems and should be used unless you have a specific reason to choose a different crossover point based on your specific speakers.

The OFF setting sends a full-range signal to your subwoofer so that you can use its built-in low-pass filter. With the OFF setting, a 100 Hz high-pass filter is activated for all SMALL speakers in the system.

NOTE: The master crossover point can be over- ridden with a custom crossover frequency for the front, center, surround, or surround back speakers in the ADVANCED SPEAKER SETUP menu; however, in most systems the single master crossover point should work well

These six lines allow you to override the mas- ter subwoofer level setting as determined on the TEST TONE menu (see below) for each specific surround mode. When going to the SUBWOOFER SETUP menu from the MAIN menu, the current surround mode is auto- matically highlighted. Use the +/– buttons to adjust the subwoofer level for the current surround mode. The options are OFF (which

turns off the subwoofer for that mode) and a range of adjustments from -9dB to +9dB and MAX (+10dB). A setting of 0dB means that the specified surround mode will use the mas- ter subwoofer level. Any other setting is an offset to the master setting. For example, an adjustment of -2db for a particular surround mode means that the subwoofer level will be 2dB quieter than the master subwoofer level when that surround mode is selected. Use these subwoofer level settings to adjust the relative bass output of various surround modes. Changing the master subwoofer lev- el will increase or decrease the level for all surround modes.

NOTE: Only the current surround mode can be adjusted on this menu. You will need to change surround modes using the front panel or remote buttons to adjust a different mode.

We recommend starting with the settings for all surround modes at the default 0dB setting during the test tone calibration of the system and for a period of familiarization after that. As you listen to a variety of source material over time, you may notice that certain sur- round modes consistently produce too much or too little bass from the subwoofer. If so, then use these menu settings to customize each surround mode. In general, if the master subwoofer level is set properly (i.e. not too loud), individual settings for each surround mode should not be necessary.

NOTE: In Dolby Digital and DTS recordings, the LFE channel is used to produce spectacular low bass effects, placing considerable de- mands on your subwoofer system. If you hear distortion or other signs of distress from your subwoofer at loud listening levels, you may consider reducing the subwoofer level for the Dolby Digital and/or DTS surround modes. In other surround modes, there is no LFE channel and the subwoofer will only reproduce redi- rected bass from the other channels, which is not as likely to tax the subwoofer.

To return to the MAIN menu, press the EN- TER button. Press the MENU/OSD button on the remote to cancel the display and return to normal operation.
