Surround back speaker setting
(VSX-D811S only)
• Default setting: S
You must let the receiver know if surround back
speaker(s) have been connected, and how big
they are. The size you choose (large or small)
determines how much bass is sent from the
receiver to the speakers. If you have connected
a surround back subwoofer, you should select
the surround back subwoofer setting (
SB
SUBWF) from the options. Choose (asterisk) if
no speaker is connected.
• Use ’ or ‘ to select SB L, SB S, SB or
SB SUBWF.
6.1 channel setting
(VSX-D811S only)
• Default setting: 6.1 FIX
You can have the receiver automatically switch
to Dolby Digital or DTS-ES decoding for 6.1
encoded sources (
6.1 AUTO), or you can
choose to listen to other kinds of sources (for
example, 5.1 encoded material) with 6.1
encoding (
6.1 FIX). With 5.1 encoded sources, a
surround back channel will be generated, but
the material may sound better in the 5.1 format
for which it was originally encoded.
• Use ’ or ‘ to select 6.1 FIX or 6.1
AUTO.
• If you chose SB in Surround back speaker
setting (above), you can’t set the 6.1
channel setting and
shows in the
display.
• Refer to the table on page 33 to see how
the 6.1 channel setting affects sound
output from the surround back speakers.
Subwoofer setting
• Default setting: ON
You can choose whether the subwoofer is used
or not. Use the plus (
PLS) setting for extra bass.
• Use ’ or ‘ to select subwoofer ON, PLS
or OFF.
• If you chose the small front speaker
setting, SUBWF ON is automatically set
and locked.
• When you select the plus setting, you will
get the bass sounds from the subwoofer
even if the front speakers are set to
L.
Crossover frequency setting
• Default setting: 100 Hz
Crossover frequency is the point where the
receiver divides the high and low sounds (the
frequencies) between the speakers. Since most
smaller speakers can’t handle deep bass tones,
you can send these sounds to the subwoofer (or
if you don’t have a subwoofer, the large (
L)
speakers in your system) instead of the
speakers set to small (
S) in your setup. Choose
the point at which you want the frequency
routed to the subwoofer (or
L speakers).
We recommend setting this to 200 Hz if your S
speakers are smaller bookshelf-type speakers.
• Use ’ or ‘ to specify the crossover
frequency for your small speakers (100 Hz,
150 Hz or 200 Hz).
100Hz 150Hz
200Hz
100 Hz
Sends bass frequencies below 100 Hz to
the subwoofer (or
L speakers).
