option of 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.

Begin the speaker setup process by making certain that the LEFT/RIGHT line is highlighted in reverse video, which sets the configuration for the front left and right speakers. If you wish to make a change

to the front speakers’ configuration, press the ‹/› Navigation Buttons n so that either LARGE or SMALL appears, matching the appropriate description from the definitions on page 19.

When SMALL is selected, low-frequency sounds will be sent only to the subwoofer output. 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 full-range output will be sent to the front left and front right outputs. Depending on the choice made in the SUBWOOFER line in this menu, bass information may also be directed to the front left/right speakers, a subwoofer or both.

NOTE: When the front speakers are set to the LARGE option and the surround mode is set to "Surround Off," or pure two-channel stereo, when an analog signal source is present it will be routed directly from the input to the volume control without being digitized or processed. If you have full-range front speakers and wish to remove all digital processing from the circuit path, select this configuration. If you wish to set this option for use with only one input, such as a CD player that uses an external DAC or an optional, external phono preamp, you may also wish to

choose the INDEPENDENT setting on the BASS MGR line at the bottom of this menu so

that only those inputs where the analog bypass is desired will be routed in this fashion, while other analog inputs such as a VCR or cable box will be digitized for surround processing.

When you have completed your selection for the front channel, press the ¤ Navigation Button n to move the highlighted video to CENTER.

Press the ‹/› Navigation Buttons n to select the option that best describes your system, based on the definitions shown on page 19.

When SMALL is selected, low-frequency center channel sounds will be sent only to the subwoofer out- put. If you choose this option and there is no subwoofer connected, you will not hear low-frequency sounds from the center channel.

When LARGE is selected, a full-range output will be sent to the center speaker output, and NO center chan- nel signal will be sent to the subwoofer output.

NOTE: If you choose Logic 7 as the surround mode for

the particular input source for which you are configuring your speakers, the DPR 1001 will not make the LARGE option available for the center speaker. This is due to the requirements of Logic 7 processing, and does not indi- cate a problem with your receiver.

When NONE is selected, no signals 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. When only front left and right speakers are used, with no center or surround speakers, VMAx is a good alternative mode.

When you have completed your selection for the center channel, press the ¤ Navigation Button n to move the highlighted video to SURROUND.

Press the ‹/› Navigation Buttons n to select the option that best describes the surround speakers in your system based on the definitions shown on page 19.

When SMALL is selected, low-frequency surround channel sounds will be sent to the subwoofer output only. If you choose this option and there is no subwoofer connected, you will not hear any low-frequency sounds from the surround channel.

When LARGE is selected, a full-range output will be sent to the surround channel outputs, and NO surround channel signals will be sent to the subwoofer output.

When NONE is selected, surround sound information will be split between the front left and front right outputs.

When you have completed your selections for the main surround channels, press the ¤ Navigation Button

BACK. This line enters the setting for the surround back channels when they are present, and it also tells the DPR 1001’s processing system to configure the unit for either 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 operation.

Press the ‹/› Navigation Buttons n to select the option that best describes the speakers in use at the left and right back surround positions based on the defini- tions on page 19.

When NONE is selected, the system will adjust so that only 5.1-channel surround modes are available and the surround back amplifier channels will not be used. When this is the case for your system you may wish to take advantage of the availability of this amplifier channel pair for use in powering a second set of speakers that have their source selected by the DPR 1001’s multiroom control system. See pages 15 and 31 for more information.

When SMALL is selected the system will adjust so that the full complement of 6.1/7.1 surround modes is available, and low-frequency information below the crossover point will be sent to the subwoofer output.

If you choose this option with no subwoofer connected,

you will not hear low-frequency sounds from the surround back channel.

When LARGE is selected the system will adjust so that the full complement of 6.1/7.1 surround modes is available, and a full-range signal will be sent to the sur- round back channels, with no low-frequency information sent to the subwoofer output.

When you have completed your selection for the back surround channels, press the ¤ Navigation Button n on the remote to move the highlighted video to SUBWOOFER.

Press the ‹/› Navigation Buttons n to select the option that best describes your system.

The choices available for the subwoofer position will depend on the settings for the other speakers, particular- ly the front left/right positions.

If the front left/right speakers are set to SMALL, the subwoofer will automatically be set to SUB.

If the front left/right speakers are set to LARGE, three options are available:

•If no subwoofer is connected, press the ‹/› Navigation Buttons n so that SUB NONE appears in the on-screen menu. When this option is selected, all bass information will be routed to the front left/right “main” speakers.

•If a subwoofer is connected, you have the option to have the front left/right “main” speakers reproduce bass frequencies at all times, and have the sub- woofer operate only when a digital source with a dedicated Low-Frequency Effects, or LFE, sound- track is in use. This allows you to use both your main and subwoofer speakers to take advantage of the bass created for certain movies. Press the ‹/› Navigation Buttons n so that LFE appears in the on-screen menu for this option.

•To use a subwoofer for bass reproduction in con- junction with the main front left/right speakers, regardless of the type of program source or Surround mode you are listening to, press

the ‹/› Navigation Buttons n so that L/R+LFE appears. When this option is selected, a full-range signal will be sent to the front left/right “main” speakers, and the subwoofer will receive the bass frequencies under frequency selected, as described below.

When all initial speaker “size” settings have been made, you may then take advantage of the DPR 1001’s Triple Crossover system, which allows individual crossover settings to be made for each speaker grouping. The low- frequency crossover point is set by the design of your speakers. Depending on the design and driver comple- ment of your speakers, it is defined as the frequency which is either the lowest possible frequency the speaker
