This is where you tell the system about the bass capabilities of your speakers, as well as how many you are using in the system.
The main speakers may be defined as full range, meaning that they can repro- duce any deep bass that might be sent to them to your satisfaction. Alternatively, you can select a frequency from 30 to 100 Hz (in 10 Hz increments). In this case, the front speakers will receive only information from that frequency and higher; the lower frequencies will be
In the case of the center, surround and subwoofer channels, there is an additional option: none (meaning there is no such speaker is connected to the system). Any information designed to be reproduced by speakers you do not have will be re- directed to available speakers so that you will hear everything you should. (Though, of course, having more speakers is better than “faking it.”)
The aux1 and aux 2 settings refers to the 7th and 8th “auxiliary channels” included in your AVP2. These “extra” channels may be used in any of several ways:
•Dual Drive™: if you have Dual Drive surround speakers, you can use the Aux channels to drive the rear halves of your surrounds while the surround outputs produce the signal for the front halves. A special infrared command may be taught to a learning remote to toggle between bipole and dipole modes of operation,or you may set up your preferences in the mode defaults menu.
•Left & Right Back: if you have a large room, you may find it benefi- cial to have two pairs of surround speakers, one pair to the sides
of the listening area and the other pair behind the listening area. | 55 |
This arrangement can provide a more uniform and enveloping sur- round field. If you select to use the Aux channels for Back speak- ers, corresponding adjustments will appear in other menus (e.g., the set distance and set levels menus).
•Center Back: the aux1 channel may also be used for a center back channel, in support of 6.1 channel surround modes like Surround EX and DTS ES.
•Left Stereo Sub: you may also elect to use stereo subwoofers, in which case the regular sub output will handle the right subwoofer and aux 1 handles the right. Specifically, any bass information in a “left” speaker (front, side or rear) that has been set to anything other than full range will be reproduced in the left subwoofer; likewise for the “right” speakers and the right subwoofer. Bass from either the low frequency effects channel (also called the “.1” chan- nel) or from a
•Extra Mono Sub: alternatively, you can use aux2 for a second mono subwoofer output. This output contains the same information found in the regular subwoofer output, but benefits from having independent level and distance settings. Using a second subwoofer in this manner is often the best way to get the smoothest. most accurate bass in many rooms.
•Not Used: if you are not using the auxiliary channels, you should turn them off. Doing so returns the AVP2 to a more common, 5.1 channel configuration.
