System Configuration

In normal use, this feature is turned off, which means that digital sources are processed at their native sample rate. For example, a 48kHz digital source will be processed at 48kHz. However, the LR-8500 allows you to upsample the incoming 48kHz signals to 96kHz for added resolution.

NOTE: This feature is only available for the Dolby Pro Logic ll-Music, Dolby Pro Logic ll-Movie, Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby 3 Stereo modes.

This menu allows you to switch the menu to change either the speaker size setting or the exact crossover point used for that speaker group. For the first pass through the menu, leave the setting at its default option of SPEAKER SIZE, and then proceed as outlined below. Once the speaker choices have been set, you may wish to return to this line to change the option so that the crossover settings may be adjusted.

SPEAKER SIZE MODE LEFT/RIGHT

LARGE: Select this when large front speakers are con- nected. Front channel materials are sent to the front speakers at full range. When this setting is selected, less bass signal is sent to the sub-woofer. Only use this setting if you have adequate sized bass drivers in your front speakers.

SMALL: Select this when the front speakers are rather small. When "SMALL" is selected, SUBWOOFER is set to "SUB" automatically, and bass frequencies of the front channels are output from a subwoofer. So a powered sub- woofer is indispensable for this setting.

CENTER

LARGE: Select this when a large center speaker is con- nected. Center channel is output at full range.

SMALL: Select this when the center speaker is rather small. Bass frequencies are output from a subwoofer.

NONE: Select this when no center speaker is connected. The center channel will be output from front speakers.

SURROUND

LARGE: Select this when an external power amplifier and large surround speakers are connected. Surround chan- nels are output to the surround speakers at full range.

SMALL: Select this when the surround speakers are rather small. Bass frequencies are output from your pow- ered subwoofer.

NONE: Select this when no surround speakers are con- nected.

SURR BACK

LARGE: Select if the surround back speakers are large sized.

SMALL: Select if the surround back speakers are small sized.

NONE: Select if the surround back speakers are not con- nected.

SUBWOOFER

LFE: Select if a subwoofer is connected to the LR-8500, you have the option to have the front left/right "main"speakers reproduce bass frequencies at all times, and have the subwoofer operate only when the LR-8500 is being used with a digital source that contains a dedicated Low-Frequency Effects, or LFE, soundtrack. This allows you to take advantage of the special bass created for cer- tain movies.

LFE+FRONT: Select if a subwoofer is connected and you wish to use it for bass reproduction is conjunction with the main front left/right speakers, regardless of the type of program source of Surround mode you are listening.

NONE: Select if no subwoofer is connected to this unit. All bass information will be routed to the front left/right speakers.
