Setup Procedure

The Comprehensive Setup uses the front panel control buttons and the front panel display and cannot be done from the remote control ex- cept where noted.

To begin the Comprehensive Setup:

1.Press the SETTING button on the front panel. The first adjustment item appears in the front panel display.

2.Use the CONTROL buttons on the front panel to step through the available settings in the Comprehensive Setup procedure,

Each press of a CONTROL button ad- vances up or down to the next available item as shown in the front panel display:

SUBWFR: Subwoofer setting

FRNT SP: Front speaker setting

CNTR SP: Center speaker setting

SURR SP: Surround speaker setting

FRNT D: Front speaker delay

CNTR D: Center speaker delay

QUICK SETUP: Quick Setup procedure

3.Use the CONTROL buttons on the front panel to adjust the item currently shown in the front panel display.

The following topics describe the settings for each item.

Subwoofer Setting (SUBWFR)

The SUBWFR item configures the RSDX-02 for use with or without a powered subwoofer. Use

the CONTROL buttons to select one of two settings:

•YES: Select this setting if you have con- nected a powered subwoofer.

•NO: Select this setting if your system does not have a powered subwoofer.

Speaker Settings

(FRNT SP, CNTR SP, SURR SP)

The next three items configure the front speak- ers, center speaker, and surround speakers in the system.

For each type of speaker, use the CONTROL buttons to choose one of three options:

•LRG: Select the LARGE setting if the speaker(s) for this item are capable of re- producing deep bass.

•SML: Select the SMALL setting to redirect the deep bass from the speaker(s) for this item to a powered subwoofer or to large speakers in the system.

•NO: Select this setting if you do not have speaker(s) for this item in the system. For example, if you do not have surround speakers, select NO for the SURR SP item.

NOTE: The NO option is not available for the front speakers. If you have previously selected NO for the subwoofer, the front speakers are automatically set to LARGE.

In the vast majority of systems with a powered subwoofer, all speakers should be set to SMALL so that their deep bass is redirected to the subwoofer. This will almost always result in better overall bass performance and a system that will play louder and cleaner, even when the front speakers are physically large.

Delay Settings

(FRNT D, CNTR D, SURR D)

The next three items set the length of digital delay for each type of speaker so that the sound from all speakers arrives at your ear simulta- neously. Thus, speakers that are closer to you need longer delay than speakers that are far- ther away.

The actual delay times are calculated by the RSDX-02. All you have to do is measure the distance from your listening position to each group of speakers and enter the setting here. There are separate settings for front speakers, center channel speaker, and surround speakers.

•For each type of speaker, use the CON-

TROL buttons to enter the distance to the that speaker from your listening posi- tion (in feet). The range of options is from 1 ft. to 30 ft. in 1 foot increments.
