1FROM THE SETUP MENU, SELECT “MODE DEFAULTS” AND ENABLE THE FEATURE

After selecting mode defaults from the setup menu, you will see a screen that looks like this:

MODE DEFAULTS

--DISABLED--

THX CINEMA PRO LOGIC STEREO SURROUND MONO SURROUND SURROUND OFF MONO

You must first engage this feature by pressing volume +/– to toggle

--DISABLED--to --ENABLED--. This extra step ensures that any automated changes of output levels are consciously chosen and therefore less likely to cause surprise. It also allows you to disable all the surround mode defaults in one easy step should you decide at some future date to return to the calibrated settings for all your routine listening.

2SELECT THE SURROUND MODE YOU WOULD LIKE TO MODIFY

When you have selected the THX cinema mode, for example, you should see a screen that looks something like this:

MODE DEFAULTS

SUB ON/OFF

NONE

CENTER LVL

0

REAR LVL

0

SUB LVL

0

THX CINEMA

3SELECT “NONE”, “ON”, OR “OFF” AS THE SETTING FOR YOUR SUBWOOFER IN THIS SURROUND MODE

If you simply leave this setting as none for all your surround modes, the PAV will always use the speaker settings from the set speakers menu. If you prefer to add a subwoofer for movies and remove it when listening to mu- sic, you should set speakers for a biamplified system (crossover on), set the movie-related surround modes for sub on, and set the music-oriented sur- round modes to sub off. This way, your subwoofer will automatically be en- gaged or disengaged as you change between (for example) THX cinema to stereo surround.

4ADJUST THE LEVEL OF CENTER, REAR AND SUB CHANNELS RELATIVE TO THE FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT SPEAKERS TO SUIT YOUR PREFERENCE

Using the master button, move the cursor to the item you wish to adjust; then adjust the setting with the volume ± buttons.
