Note that the crossover point for the surround speakers and the surround back speakers will be identical. That´s why no crossover point for the surround back speakers is selectable or shown in the menu.
Important Note: All settings for the crossover points will be "Global", i.e. they will be identical for all inputs no matter if the BASSMANAGER (see above) was configured for "Global" or "Independent".

To assist in making these settings, the icons in the Speaker/Channel Input Indicators $ 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 making 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.
Delay Settings
Due the different distances between the listening position for the front channel speakers and the surround speakers, the amount of time it takes for sound to reach your ears from the front or surround speakers is different. You may compen- sate for this difference through the use of the delay settings to adjust the timing for the specific speaker placement and acoustic conditions in your listening room or home theater.
To change the settings, follow the instructions below to enter the distance between the speak- er’s location and your main listening position. The measurements need not be accurate to the inch, as the system is designed to accommodate typi- cal listening rather than a specific “sweet spot” position.
In addition to adjusting the delay time for each individual speaker position, the AVR is among the few A/V receivers that allows you to adjust the delay for the combined output of all speakers as a group. This feature is called A/V Sync Delay; it allows you to compensate for delays to the video image that may be caused by the processing in products such as digital video displays, video scalers, digital cable or satellite systems, or per- sonal video recorders. With proper adjustment of the setting for A/V Sync Delay, you can eliminate the loss of lip sync that may be caused by digital video applications.
The setting for A/V Sync Delay may only be done manually, since it requires that you observe the program material on your video display while adjusting the delay, if any, required for the specific source. The A/V Sync Delay should still be configured as outlined below.

Due to the differences in the way each surround mode operates, the delay settings must be established individually for each surround mode. However, once the delay settings are configured for the version of the surround mode with the
most channels, they need not be entered again for a version of that mode with fewer channels. However, you will need to enter the delay settings separately for each variant mode, such as Dolby Pro Logic II – Music, Dolby Pro Logic II – Game, Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby 3 Stereo.
Delay times are adjustable for all surround modes. Although all channels will appear on screen with the default or previously entered dis- tances, the menu system will only allow you to adjust the settings for those channels which are actually used by the current surround mode. For example, when you are listening to music CDs using the CD input in DSP Surround Off mode, you may adjust the delay settings for the front left, front right and subwoofer channels only. The cursor will simply skip the other channels as you navigate through the menu. Therefore, the first time you adjust the delay settings, it is recom- mended that you select a
To start with the delay settings at first select the DELAY ADJUST MENU (Figure 11). If the system is not already at that point, press the OSD button L to bring up the master menu. Press the ¤ Button D three times or until the

Next move the ➞ cursor to the UNIT line and select the unit for distances you prefer to enter, feet or meter. Then move the ➞ cursor to the FL line where the first adjustment is made. Now press the ‹ / › Buttons E until the dis- tance from the front left speaker to the preferred listening position is entered. Next press the
¤Button D once to move to the next line.
Now the ➞ cursor will be at the CEN line so that the delay for the center speaker may be set. Press the ‹ / › Buttons E until the distance from the main listening position to the center speaker is entered.
Repeat the procedure for all active speaker positions by pressing the ¤ Button D again and use the ‹ / › Buttons E to change the setting. Remember that this last adjustment will only be needed when you have surround back
