Speaker Setup

Some of the settings in this section are set automatically by Audyssey MultEQ® Room Correction and Speaker Setup function (29).

Here you can check the settings made by

Audyssey MultEQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup function, or set them manually, which is useful if you change one of the connected speakers after using Audyssey MultEQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup function.

Note

These settings are disabled when:

a pair of headphones is connected, or

the “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On” (55) and an input selector other than HDMI is selected.

Speaker Settings

If you change these settings, you must run Audyssey MultEQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup again (29).

If the impedance of any speaker is 4 ohms or more but less than 6, set the minimum speaker impedance to 4 ohms. If you bi-amp the front speakers, you must change the “Speakers Type(Front)” setting (45).

For hookup information, see “Bi-amping the Front Speak- ers” (16).

Note

When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver is able to drive up to 5.1 speakers in the main room.

Before you change these settings, turn down the volume.

With these settings, you can specify which speakers are connected and a crossover frequency for each speaker. Specify “Full Band” for speakers that can output low fre- quency bass sounds adequately, for example, speakers with a good sized woofer. For smaller speakers, specify a crossover frequency. Sounds below the crossover fre- quency will be output by the subwoofer instead of the speaker. Refer to your speaker’s manuals to determine the optimum crossover frequencies. If you set up your speak- ers using Audyssey MultEQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup, please make sure manually that any THX speakers are set to “80Hz(THX)” crossover.
