Speaker settings page
The size and number of loudspeakers are defined on this page of the OSD.
–A ‘LARGE’ speaker is one that is capable of handling a full range signal (i.e.
–A ‘SMALL’ speaker is one that is not capable of reproducing a deep bass signal (i.e. below 100Hz), for example a satellite speaker.
–‘ON’ is used when a speaker is active and receives the intended audio information.
–‘OFF’ is used when a speaker is inactive. Audio signals intended for speakers set to OFF are redirected to the main speakers.
Presets for typical speaker setups
To make setting up easier, the Arcam AVR100 has three factory presets, describing three typical home theatre speaker setups.
Choose the preset that closest describes the loudspeaker package you have.
■PRESET 1 – all large speakers and a subwoofer.
This preset is designed to play a full range signal through each speaker. A subwoofer supports low frequency sound reproduction
■PRESET 2 – large front left and right speakers, small centre and small rear speakers.
This preset is designed to redirect the low frequency information for the surround and centre channels to the main speakers. There is no subwoofer output with this preset.
■PRESET 3 – all small speakers and a subwoofer. This preset is designed for systems with five small speakers combined with a subwoofer. The bass frequencies from all channels are redirected to the subwoofer.
Once you have chosen the preset that best describes your loudspeaker package you can set the centre and surround speakers to ‘OFF’ if you do not have these in your system.
No subwoofer loudspeaker?
Regardless of the size of your main speakers, if you do not have a subwoofer connected to your AVR100 you should select PRESET 2, to direct low frequency information to the main speakers.
