reset that source to the factory default
settings.
Speaker Configuration
It is important to make sure that the
CVR700 is correctly configured for your
speakers so that low frequency portions
of the audio program will be steered to
the appropriate loudspeakers (this is
called bass management). Speaker con-
figuration also ensures that there are no
time delay artifacts caused by the speak-
ers being placed at varying distances
from the listening position. And it is in
this section that the output levels are
adjusted to ensure that all speaker chan-
nels are balanced, preserving the direc-
tionality and dynamism of the original
recording.
If you are using JBL Cinema Vision loud-
speakers, you will be able to skip some
of these settings, as the CVR700 has
been preprogrammed at the factory to
accommodate your speakers. However,
you will need to program the distances
and speaker output levels to conform to
your specific listening room.
With the MAIN MENU (Figure 6) on
screen, scroll to the SPEAKERS line
and select it, and the confirmation screen
(Figure 19) will appear, allowing you an
opportunity to retain the previous set-
tings. Note that the
RESET line indi-
cates that all sources will have their
speaker settings reset if you choose the
reset option. Speaker settings are global,
and only need to be set once, unless you
change the
BASS MGR line in the
SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
submenu (Fig. 21) to I
NDEPENDENT.
Select YES to change the speaker set-
tings and continue to the SPEAKERS
submenu (Figure 20).

Configuring Speaker Sizes
The first step is to configure speaker sizes.
You may skip this step if you are using JBL
Cinema Vision speakers at all positions. If
you are using other model or brand loud-
speakers, you should NOT skip this menu.
Scroll to the
CONFIGURATION line
and select it to display the SPEAKER
CONFIGURATION AND BASS
MANAGER submenu (Figure 21). For
each of these settings, use the
LARGE
setting if the speakers for a particular
position are traditional full-range loud-
speakers. Use the
SMALL setting for
smaller, frequency-limited satellite speak-
ers that do not reproduce sounds below
200Hz. Note that when “small” speakers
are used, a subwoofer is required to
reproduce low-frequency sounds.
Remember that the “large” and “small”
descriptions do not refer to the actual
physical size of the speakers, but to
their ability to reproduce low-frequency
sounds. If you are in doubt as to which
category describes your speakers, consult
the specifications in the speakers’
owner’s manual, or ask your dealer.
The factory default sets all channels
to
SMALL, except for the BACK
SURROUNDS, which are set to
NONE, as the factory default system
configuration is for a 5.1-channel system.
NOTE: This setting is not affected by
changing the System Configuration setting
(see Figure 7). In order to benefit from
full 7.1-channel operation, you must
change both the System Configuration
setting and you must enable the Back
Surround speakers in the
SPEAKER
CONFIGURATION AND BASS
MANAGER submenu (Figure 21).
Begin the speaker setup process by mak-
ing certain that the cursor is pointing at
the
FRONT line, which sets the config-
uration for the front left and right speak-
ers. If you wish to make a change to the
front speakers’ configuration, press the
‹/› Navigation Controls q
so that either LARGE or SMALL
appears, matching the appropriate
description from these definitions:
When SMALL is selected, low-fre-
quency sounds will be sent only to the
subwoofer output. If you choose this
option and there is no subwoofer con-
nected, you will not hear any low-fre-
quency sounds from the front channels.
When LARGE is selected, a full-range
output will be sent to the front left and
front right outputs. Only LFE-channel infor-
mation will be directed to the subwoofer.
When you have completed your selection
for the front channel, press the
⁄ / ¤
Navigation Controls q to move
the cursor to CENTER. Press the ‹ / ›
Navigation Controls q to select
the option that best describes your sys-
tem, based on these speaker definitions:
When SMALL is selected, low-fre-
quency center channel sounds will be
sent only to the subwoofer output. If you
choose this option and there is no sub-
woofer connected, you will not hear low-
frequency sounds from the center channel.
When LARGE is selected, a full-range
output will be sent to the center speaker
output, and NO center channel signal will
be sent to the subwoofer output.
NOTE: If you choose Logic 7 as the sur-
round mode for the particular input
source for which you are configuring
your speakers, the CVR700 will not make
the
LARGE option available for the
center speaker. This is due to the require-
ments of Logic 7 processing, and does
not indicate a problem with your receiver.
When NONE is selected, no signals will
be sent to the center channel output. The
receiver will operate in a “phantom” cen-
ter channel mode and center channel
information will be sent to the left and
right front channel outputs.
When you have completed your selection
for the center channel, press the
⁄ / ¤
Navigation Controls q to move
the cursor to SIDE SURROUNDS.
Press the ‹/› Navigation Controls
q to select the option that best
describes the surround speakers in your
system based on these speaker definitions:
When SMALL is selected, low-fre-
quency surround channel sounds will be
sent to the subwoofer output only. If you
choose this option and there is no sub-
woofer connected, you will not hear any
low-frequency sounds from the side sur-
round channels.
When LARGE is selected, a full-range
output will be sent to the side surround
channel outputs, and NO surround channel
