SPEAKER SETUP MENU

In most cases, the standard speaker configu- ration described above is a global setting and can be used for all surround modes. However, the RSP-1098 provides the capability to cus- tomize these settings for four different surround modes: Dolby, DTS, Stereo, and Music. For example, you could set up the Dolby and DTS modes for 5.1 channel sound, while the Ste- reo mode changes to a 2-speaker setup with or without a subwoofer. In addition, the AD- VANCED SPEAKER SETUP allows you to se- lect a customized high-pass crossover frequency for the front, center, surround, and surround back speakers.

NOTE: In most systems, the default settings on this menu will provide the most predictable results and most users will not need to change any settings. You should fully understand bass management and have a specific reason for needing a custom configuration before chang- ing these settings. Otherwise, skip to the fol- lowing topic, SUBWOOFER SETUP.

The available settings on the ADVANCED SPEAKER SETUP menu are as follows:

SPEAKER (front/center/surround/cen- ter back/subwoofer): Select the set of

cess the ADVANCED SPEAKER SETUP menu, the current master crossover point will be shown on this line. Change the value of this line only if you want the current speaker to have a dif- ferent crossover point. For example, if your master crossover is set to 80Hz, but you want your front speakers to crossover to the sub- woofer at 60 Hz, you 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 (avail- able 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 sub- woofer and no crossover. Likewise, the OFF setting for the subwoofer crossover is not avail- able 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 avail- able for the MULTI INPUT.

DOLBY (large/small/none): Sets the current speaker (shown in the first line) to LARGE, SMALL, or NONE, overriding the master setting from the SPEAKER SETUP menu. This setting 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 op- tions described for Dolby above, except these settings ONLY take effect with any of the DSP MUSIC surround modes.

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 subwoofer and a corresponding high- pass filter for all SMALL speakers in the sys- tem at the selected frequency. To adjust the crossover frequency, highlight the CROSSOVER line using the UP/DOWN buttons. Then, use the +/– buttons to chose 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 spe- cific 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

CROSSOVER (40Hz/60Hz/80Hz/

100Hz/120Hz/150Hz/200Hz): Typi- cally, the RSP-1098 uses a single master set- ting for the high-pass and low-pass crossover point between all SMALL speakers and the subwoofer. This master crossover point is set on the SUBWOOFER SETUP menu described in the following section. When you first ac-

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.

These six lines allow you override the master subwoofer level setting as determined on the TEST TONE menu (see below) for each spe- cific surround mode. When going to the SUB- WOOFER SETUP menu from the MAIN menu, the current surround mode is automatically highlighted. Use the +/– buttons to adjust the subwoofer level for the current surround mode. The options are OFF (which turns off the sub-
