System Configuration
you are in doubt as to which category describes your speakers, consult the specifications in the speakers’ owner’s manual, or ask your dealer. Remember that the speaker setup must be made individually for each input of the AVR 3000.
It is best to select the Dolby Pro Logic mode for making the speaker setup. That’s why you should note the surround mode you´ve associated with the selected input, select the Dolby Pro Logic mode and after the speaker setup was made with that input, reset to the surround mode for- merly selected. Note that with the currently selected input all settings will be copied to other surround modes too (as far as possible) and need not be repeated with any other mode (but with each input used).
1.It is easiest to enter the proper settings for the speaker setup through the SPEAKER SETUP menu (Figure 5). If that menu is not alredy on your screen from the prior adjustments, press the OSD button Lto bring up the
MASTER MENU (Figure 1), and then press the ¤ button Dtwice so that the cursor is on the SPEAKER SETUP line. At this point, press the Set button Fto bring up the SPEAKER SETUP menu
(Figure 5).

When SMALL is selected, low frequency front channel sounds will be sent only to the subwoofer output. Note that if you choose this option and there is no subwoofer connected, you will not hear any low frequency sounds from the front channels.
When LARGE is selected, a
Important Note: When a speaker set with two front satellites and a passive subwoofer is used, connected to the front speaker outputs , the fronts must be set for LARGE.
3.When you have completed your selection for the front channel, press the ¤ button Don the remote to move the cursor to CENTER.
4. Press the ‹/› buttons E on the remote to select the option that best describes your Center speaker based on the speaker definitions shown on this page.

When NONE is selected, no signal will be sent to the center channel output. The receiver will operate in a “phantom” center channel mode and center channel information will be sent to the left and right front channel outputs. This mode is needed if no Center speaker is used (note that for the use of Logic 7C surround mode a Center speaker is needed, but Logic 7M works well without a Center too).
5.When you have completed your selection for the center channel, press the ¤ button Don the remote to change the cursor to
SURROUND.
6. Press the ‹/› buttons E on the remote to select the option that best describes the sur- round speakers in your system based on the speaker definitions shown on this page.

The choices available for the subwoofer position will depend on the settings for the other speak- ers, particularly the front left/right positions.
If the front left/right speakers are set to SMALL, the subwoofer will automatically be set to SUB, which is the “on” position.
If the front left/right speakers are set to LARGE, three options are available:
• If no subwoofer is connected to the AVR 3000, press the ‹/› buttons E on the remote so that NONE appears in the
When this option is selected, all bass information will be routed to the front left/right “main” speakers.
•If a subwoofer is connected to the AVR 3000, 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 AVR 3000 is being used with a digital source that contains a dedicated Low Frequency Effects, or LFE soundtrack. This allows you to use both your main and subwoofer speakers to take advantage of the special bass created for certain movies. To select that option press ‹/› buttons E on the remote so that SUB (LFE) appears in the
•If a subwoofer is connected and you wish to use it for bass reproduction in conjunction with the main front left/right speakers, regardless of the type of program source or surround mode you are listening to, press the ‹/› buttons E on the remote so that SUB L/R+LFE appears in the
