Configure the AVR for Your Speakers

Your AVR is ﬂexible and may be conﬁgured to work with most speakers and to

compensate for the acoustic characteristics of your room.

Before beginning, place your loudspeakers as explained in the Place Your Speakers

section, on page 10, and connect them to the AVR. Consult the owner’s guide for the

speakers or the manufacturer’s Web site for their frequency-range speciﬁcation. Although

you may set the AVR’s individual channel levels “by ear,” an SPL (sound-pressure level)

meter purchased at a local electronics store will provide greater accuracy.

Record your conﬁguration settings in Tables A4 and A6 in the Appendix for easy re-entry

after a system reset or after the AVR’s Master Power switch has been turned off or the

unit has been unplugged for more than four weeks.

Step One – Determine Your Speakers’ Crossover Frequencies

Consult the technical speciﬁcations for all of your speakers and locate the frequency

response, usually given as a range, e.g., 100Hz – 20kHz (±3dB). Write down the lowest

frequency that each of your speakers is capable of playing (100Hz in the above example)

as the crossover in Table A6 in the Appendix. NOTE: This frequency is not the same as the

crossover frequency listed in the speaker’s speciﬁcations.

For the subwoofer, write down the transducer size. The AVR’s bass management

determines which speakers will be used to play back the low-frequency (bass) portion

of the source program. Sending the lowest notes to small satellite speakers will result

in bad sound and may even damage the speakers. The highest notes may not be heard

at all through the subwoofer.

With proper bass management, the AVR divides the source signal at a crossover point.

All information above that crossover point is played through your system’s speakers,

and all information below the crossover point is played through the subwoofer. This way,

each loudspeaker in your system will perform at its best, delivering a more powerful and

enjoyable sound experience.

Step Two – Measure the Speaker Distances

Ideally, all of your speakers would be placed in a circle, with the listening position at the

center. However, you may have had to place some speakers a little farther away from the

listening position than others. Sounds that are supposed to arrive simultaneously from

different speakers may blur, due to different arrival times.

Your AVR provides a Distance adjustment that compensates for these real-world

speaker-placement differences.

Measure the distance from each speaker to the listening position, and write it down

in Table A4 in the Appendix. Even if all of your speakers are the same distance from

the listening position, enter your speaker distances as described in Set the Speaker

Distances, on this page.

Step Three – Speaker Setup Menu

Now you are ready to program the AVR. Sit in your usual listening position, and make the

room as quiet as possible.

With the AVR and video display turned on, press the OSD button to display the menu

system and select Speaker Setup. The Speaker Setup menu will appear:

* MANUAL SETUP *

NUMBER OF SPEAKERS

SUB MODE : SUB

CROSSOVER

DISTANCE

LEVEL ADJUST

BACK TO MASTER MENU

NOTE: All of the speaker setup submenus include a “Back to…” option. To save the

current settings, select the Back to… option.

For best results, adjust the submenus in this order: Number of Speakers, Crossover, Sub

Mode, Distance and Level Adjust.

Number of Speakers

This selection lets you program the correct setting for each speaker group. The settings

in this menu affect the remainder of the speaker-setup process and the availability of

various surround modes at any time.

Select ON when the speakers are present in the system; select OFF for positions where

no speakers are installed. The Front Left & Right setting is always ON and may not be

disabled.

* NUMBER OF SPEAKERS *

LEFT/RIGHT : ON

CENTER : ON

SURROUND : ON

SUBWOOFER : ON

BACK TO MANUAL SETUP

When you have ﬁnished, select Back to Speaker Setup.

Crossover (Size)

After you return to the Speaker Setup menu, navigate to the Crossover line and press the

OK button to display the Crossover menu.

* CROSSOVER *

LEFT/RIGHT : 100Hz

CENTER : 100Hz

SURROUND : 100Hz

SUBWOOFER : 10inch

BACK TO MANUAL SETUP

Refer to Table A6 for each speaker’s crossover frequency.

NOTE: The AVR will let you adjust settings only for those speaker groups you set to On in

the Number of Speakers menu.

For each speaker group, select one of these eight crossover frequencies: LARGE, 40Hz,

60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz, 150Hz or 200Hz. If the speaker’s crossover frequency is

below 40Hz, select the ﬁrst option, LARGE. This setting doesn’t refer to the speaker’s

physical size but to its frequency response, which is also called “full range.”

Specify the size of the subwoofer’s transducer as 8, 10, 12 or 15 inches. The AVR always

sets the subwoofer crossover to 100Hz but uses the transducer size for equalization.

Write down the settings in Table A6 in the Appendix.

When you have ﬁnished entering the settings, select Back To Speaker Setup.

Sub Mode

After you return to the Manual Setup menu, navigate to the Sub Mode line and press

the OK button to display the Sub Mode menu. This setting depends upon the Crossover

setting you selected for the front left and right speakers.

• If you set the front speakers to a numeric crossover frequency, the subwoofer setting

will always be SUB. All low-frequency information will always be sent to the subwoofer.

If you don’t have a subwoofer, either upgrade to full-range front left and right speakers

or add a subwoofer at the earliest opportunity.

• If you set the front speakers to LARGE, select one of the three following settings for

the subwoofer:

L/R+LFE: This setting sends all low-frequency information to the subwoofer, including

a) information that would normally be played through the front left and right speakers

and b) the special low-frequency effects (LFE) channel information.

OFF: Select this setting when no subwoofer is in use. All low-frequency information

will be sent to the front left and right speakers.

LFE: This setting plays low-frequency information contained in the left and right

program channels through the front left and right speakers, and directs only the LFE-

channel information to the subwoofer.

When you have ﬁnished entering the settings, select Back To Speaker Setup.

Set the Speaker Distances

As described above in Step Two, when you measured the distances from each of your

speakers to the listening position, your AVR provides an adjustment that compensates

for the different distances so that the sound from each speaker will reach the listening

position at the proper time. This process will improve the clarity and detail of the sound.
