and right bass frequencies under the crossover frequency selected in the next option setting on this menu, as described below.
9.When you have completed your selection for the subwoofer, press the ¤ Button Don the remote to change the cursor to SUB X- OVER FREQ. The subwoofer crossover set- ting may only be adjusted using the on-screen display system.
At this line, you will select the frequency under which bass information is directed to the Subwoofer Output ∞ and above which the remaining signal is directed to all speakers that are set to SMALL. The choices available will depend on the setting made previously for the front left/right speakers. When making these selections, choose the crossover frequency that is closest to the lower frequency limit of your front left/right speakers. This figure is normally printed in the owner’s manual or data sheet for the speakers; or consult the speaker’s manufacturer.
•When the front speakers have been set to LARGE, the crossover choices are 40 Hz or 60 Hz to match the typical crossover points of full range speakers. When you use large full range front speakers, able to repro- duce bass below 40Hz with sufficient power, choose 40 Hz, otherwise select 60 Hz.
•When the front speakers have been set to SMALL, the crossover choices are 80 Hz or 100 Hz to match the typical crossover points of the smaller speakers used in satellite speaker systems. Choose the option that is closest to your speakers’ design.
10.When all speaker selections have been made, press the ¤ Button Dand then the Set Button Fto return to the Main menu.
11.The Speaker Configuration may also be changed at any time without using the full-OSD on-screen menu system by pressing the Speaker
Select button on the remote . Once the but- ton is pressed, FNT SPEAKER will appear in both the lower third of the video display and the Main Information Display Y.
Within five seconds, either press the front panel ‹/› Selector buttons 7$ or the ⁄/¤ but- tons Don the remote to select a different speaker position, or press the Set Button @F to begin the adjustment process for the front left and right speakers.
When the Set button @ Fhas been pressed and the system is ready for a change to the front speaker setting, the on-screen display and Main Information Display Y will read FNT LARGE or FNT SMALL depending on the current setting. Press the front panel ‹/› Selector Buttons 7$ or the ⁄/¤ buttons Don the remote until the desired setting is
shown, using the instructions for “large” or “small” shown earlier, then press the Set button @F.
If another speaker position needs to be changed, press the front panel ‹/› Selector buttons
7$ or the ⁄/¤ buttons Don the remote to select a different speaker position, press the Set button @ F and then press the front panel ‹/› Selector buttons 7$ or the ⁄/¤ buttons Don the remote until the cor- rect speaker setting is shown and press the Set button @ Fagain to confirm the selection.
To assist in making these settings, the icons in the Speaker/Channel Input Indicators Q will change as the speaker type is selected at each position. When only the inner icon box is lit, the speaker is set for “small.” When the inner box and the two outer boxes with circles inside them are lit, the speaker is set for “large." When no indicator appears at a speaker location, that position is set for “none” or “no” speaker.
Note: These icons are available only when mak- ing setup changes without the use of the full OSD mode.
As an example, in the Figure below, all speakers are set for “large,” and a subwoofer is set.
Surround Setup
Once the speaker setup has been completed, the next step for that input is to set the surround mode you wish to use with that input. Since sur- round modes are a matter of personal taste, feel free to select any mode you wish – you may change it later. The Surround Mode chart on page 28 may help you select the mode best suited to the input source selected. For example you may select Dolby Pro Logic II or Logic 7 for most ana- log inputs and Dolby Digital for inputs connected to digital sources. In the case of inputs such as a CD Player, Tape Deck or Tuner, you may wish to set the mode to Stereo, if that is your preferred listening mode for standard stereo sources, where it is unlikely that surround encoded materi- al will be used. Alternatively, the 5 Channel Stereo or Logic 7 Music mode may also be a good choice for stereo-only source material.
It is easiest to complete the surround setup using the full-OSD on-screen menus. From the MAS- TER menu (Figure 1), press the ⁄/¤ buttons Duntil the › cursor is next to the SUR- ROUND SELECT menu. Press the Set Button Fso that the SURROUND SELECT menu (Figure 4) is on the screen.

The first line on the SURROUND SELECT menu allows you to configure the AVR for either standard 5.1 or advanced 6.1/7.1 operation. With the on-screen › cursor at the SURR MODE line, press the Set Button Fand then press the ‹ or › Buttons E so that 5.1 is highlighted if you have no sur- round back speakers installed, or 6.1/7.1 if you have one or two speakers connected to the Surround Back Preamp Outputs through optional, external power amplifiers.
Making this selection will set the surround mode options for the AVR so that only the correct modes for the number of speakers in your specif- ic system will be available. Should you change your system and add additional speakers at a later date, it is important to change this setting so that advanced surround modes such as 7 Channel Stereo, Logic 7/7.1, DTS-ES 6.1 Discrete and Matrix, DTS+NEO:6, and DTS NEO:6 will be available.
Important Note: As this 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 selec- tion is a basic configuration for your system it will be effective with all inputs and need not be repeated with all other inputs in use. Moreover this setting is linked with the Surround Back Speaker selection outlined on page 22, both settings will turn on ("6.1/7.1") or off ("5.1") these speakers in the same manner.
When the desired selection is made, press the Set Button Fto continue with the setup and configuration.
Once the setting is made for 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 oper- ation, the default surround mode for an input should be set. Each of the remaining five lines on the menu (Figure 4) contains the various sur- round mode categories, and within those menus you may choose one of the sub-modes. Note that the list of specific sub-modes in some categories will vary according to whether 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 operation is chosen and Dolby Digital will appear only when a digital input is selected. In addition, the DTS modes (except NEO:6) available in the
