SPEAKERS (Front, Center, Surround)
setting mode
This setting establishes the configuration of the speaker
system and size of each set of speakers you have
connected. So, for example, here you set whether you
have connected surround speakers or not, and how big
they are. Selecting “Large” or “Small” will determine how
much bass is sent by the receiver to the speakers being
set.
In the display, “F”, “C”, and “S” refer to front, center,
and surround speakers respectively. Speaker size is
denoted as “
L ” for large speakers, “S” for small
speakers, and “*” (asterisk) if no speaker is connected.
MEMO:
If the cone size (diameter) of the speaker is larger than
12 cm, please set to Large.
Choose a speaker setting mode according to
the speakers you hooked up. Use the
% or fi
buttons.
The configurations shown below will appear in the
display on the front of the receiver. One of them
should match your speaker set up. Cycle through the
different possibilities until you find the one that
matches your set up.
Press
# to advance to the next receiver setting, and
press
@ to return to a previous receiver setting.
SUBWOOFER ON/PLUS/OFF setting
mode
Sets whether the SUBWOOFER is used or not. Also,
when used you have the option to use the “
PLUS ”
setting.
Press
% or fi to select subwoofer ON, PLUS
or OFF.
MEMO:
• The initial setting is “
ON ”.
• Setting the front speaker size to “Small” in the
SPEAKERS setting mode automatically locks the
subwoofer in the “
ON ” position.
• Use the PLUS for extra bass. When you use PLUS
you will get the bass sounds from the subwoofer
even if the front speakers are set to “Large”.
Crossover frequency setting mode
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, this setting allows you to send
those sounds to the subwoofer (or speakers set to
“Large” if you don’t have a subwoofer) instead of the
speakers set to “Small” in your system. Choose the point
at which you want the frequency routed to the
subwoofer (or “Large” speakers).
We recommend setting this to 200 Hz if smaller
bookshelf-type speakers are used for your “Small”
speakers.
Press
% or fi to specify the crossover
frequency for your small speakers (100 Hz,
150 Hz or 200 Hz).
150Hz 100Hz
200Hz
100 Hz
Sends bass frequencies below 100 Hz to the subwoofer
(or “Large” speakers).
150 Hz
Sends bass frequencies below 150 Hz to the subwoofer
(or “Large” speakers).
200 Hz
Sends bass frequencies below 200 Hz to the subwoofer
(or “Large” speakers).
