least some of your speakers as something other than full range, or by using the extra bass feature of the AVP2’s special menu. This feature places “redundant” bass in the subwoofer, duplicating low bass information from other channels.

In order to provide optimal performance, the AVP2 needs to know where your speakers are located relative to the primary listening position. With this informa- tion, it can adjust the timing of the delivery of the various channels of sound so that sounds that are supposed to reach you at the same time actually do so— even though the speakers from which those sounds emanate may be at signifi- cantly different distances from the listening position.

By now you should be quite comfortable navigating the AVP2 menus, so we will simplify the “how-to” explanations. If you are coming directly to this portion of the manual without having read the previous sections, please review those sec- tions before proceeding. They contain important information you need to know about, in addition to detailing the menu navigation system. Try starting at Using the Menu System.

1ENTER THE SET DISTANCE MENU

You will see a screen which should look something like the following:

SET DISTANCE

 

LEFT: 10.0 ft

 

CENTER: 10.0 ft

 

RIGHT: 10.0 ft

 

RIGHT BACK: 10.0

R SURROUND: 10.0

L SURROUND: 10.0

LEFT BACK: 10.0

SUBWOOFER: 10.0 ft

UNITS: ENGLISH

Note that this menu updates dynamically to reflect the choices you made in the Set Configuration menu. For example, if you are using Dual Drive sur- rounds, you will be given a single distance for each surround speaker, rather than separate distances for sides and back surround speakers.

(If you prefer to use the metric system, move down to units: and toggle it from english to metric. The rest of the screen will then update to suit your preference.)

2MEASURE THE DISTANCE FROM EACH SPEAKER TO THE MAIN LISTENING POSITION; ENTER THESE DISTANCES INTO THE TABLE DISPLAYED ON SCREEN

Using a tape measure, measure these distances to the nearest 0.5 feet (or 0.2 meters). Use the volume ± buttons to move the values up or down as needed; enter each as you go along.

3MAKE A NOTE OF THESE SETTINGS UNDER “YOUR SYSTEM SETTINGS” IN THE BACK OF THIS MANUAL

Having these settings handy will prove helpful should anyone ever tamper with your careful calibrations. Of course, you should re-calibrate the system if you move the speakers or listening position significantly.
