16 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
5. Turn the AVR 130 on either by pressing the
System Power Control 3 on the front panel,
or via the remote by pressing the
AVR Selector
f or any of the Input Selectors eg
on the remote. The Power Indicator 3 will turn
blue to confirm that the unit is on, and the front-
panel display
will illuminate.
System Setup
The AVR 130 features an advanced memory system
that enables you to establish different configurations
for the bass management, digital input, surround
mode and output levels for each input source. This
flexibility enables you to custom-tailor the way in which
you listen to each source and have the AVR 130
memorize those settings. This means, for example,
that you may use different modes or output levels
and trims for different sources. When the Bass
Management System is set to Independent, you may
also set different speaker configurations and crossover
points for each input. Once these settings are made,
they will automatically be recalled whenever you select
that input.
The factory default settings for the AVR 130 have all
inputs configured for an analog source (except for the
DVD input, which has the
Coaxial Digital Input 1 ª
as the default), Logic 7 Music as the surround mode,
when an analog or PCM digital source is in use, all
speaker positions set to “small,” and a subwoofer con-
nected. Before using the unit, you will probably want
to change the settings for most inputs so that they are
properly configured to reflect the use of digital or ana-
log inputs, the type of speakers installed and the sur-
round mode specifics.
Speaker Setup
These adjustments tell the AVR 130 which type of
speakers are in use. This is important as it adjusts the
settings that determine which speakers receive low-
frequency (bass) information. For each of these set-
tings use the
LARGE setting if the speakers for a
particular position are traditional full-range loudspeakers
that are capable of reproducing sounds below 100Hz.
Use the SMALL setting for smaller, frequency-limited
satellite speakers that do not reproduce sounds below
100Hz. 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 specifi-
cations in the speakers’ owner’s manual, or ask
your dealer.
The factory default setting for the speaker configura-
tion is to have “small” speakers at all positions with a
subwoofer installed. If you have this type of “sub/
satellite” speaker system, no further configuration is
needed and you may skip to the next section.
With the AVR 130 turned on, follow these steps to
configure the speakers:
1. Press the
Speaker Select Button 6 . When
SPEAKER SIZE appears in the Lower
Display Line
¯ press the Set Button o@.
2. When
FRONT SPEAKER appears in the
Lower Display Line ¯ press the Set Button
o@ to continue.
3. Press the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons n on the remote or
the
‹/› Buttons ) on the front panel to select
either
FRONT LARGE or FRONT
SMALL
, as described by the definitions shown
above. When the desired selection appears, press
the
Set Button o@.
When
FRONT SMALL is selected, low-fre-
quency sounds will be sent to the subwoofer out-
put only. Note that if you choose this option and
there is no subwoofer connected, you will not hear
any low-frequency sounds from the front channels.
When
FRONT LARGE is selected, a full-
range output will be sent to the front-left and front-
right outputs, and NO low-frequency signals will be
sent to the subwoofer output.
4. When
CENTER SPEAKER appears in
the
Lower Display Line ¯ press the Set Button
o@.
5. Press the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons n on the remote or
the
‹/› Buttons ) on the front panel to select
either
CENTER LARGE, CENTER
SMALL
or CENTER NONE, using the
same guidelines as above for Large and Small.
When the desired selection appears, press the
Set
Button
o@.
When
CENTER SMALL is selected, low-
frequency center channel sounds will be sent to
the subwoofer output only. Note that if you choose
this option and there is no subwoofer connected,
you will not hear any low-frequency sounds from
the center channel speaker.
When
CENTER LARGE is selected, a full-
range output will be sent to the center speaker
output, and NO center channel low-frequency infor-
mation will be sent to the subwoofer output.
NOTE: If you choose Logic 7 as the surround
mode, the AVR 130 will not make the LARGE
option available for the center speaker. This is due
to the requirements of Logic 7 processing, and
does not indicate a problem with your receiver.
When
CENTER NONE is selected, no
signals will be sent to the center channel output.
6. When
SURR SPEAKER appears in the
Lower Display Line ¯ press the Set Button
o@.
7. Press the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons n on the remote or
the
‹/› Buttons ) on the front panel to select
either
SURR LARGE, SURR SMALL or
SURR NONE, using the same guidelines as
above for Large and Small. When the desired
selection appears, press the
Set Button o@.
When
SURR SMALL is selected, low-
frequency surround-channel sounds will be sent to
the subwoofer output only. Note that if you choose
this option and there is no subwoofer connected,
you will not hear any low-frequency sounds from
the surround speaker.
When
SURR LARGE is selected, a full-range
output will be sent to the surround-channel outputs,
and NO surround-channel signals will be sent to
the subwoofer output.
When
SURR NONE is selected, surround
sound information will be split between the front-
left and front-right outputs. Note that for optimal
performance when no surround speakers are in
use, the Dolby 3 Stereo mode should be used
instead of Dolby Pro Logic II.
8. When
S-W SPEAKER appears in the Lower
Display Line
¯, press the Set Button o@.
9. Press the
⁄

Buttons n on the remote or
the
‹/› Buttons ) on the front panel to select
the option described below that best describes your
system. When the desired selection appears, press
the
Set Button o@.
The choices available for the subwoofer position will
depend on the settings for the other speakers,
particularly the front left/right positions.
If the front left/right speakers are set to
FRONT
SMALL
, the subwoofer will automatically be set to
SUB, which is the “ON” position.
If the front left/right speakers are set to
FRONT
LARGE
, three options are available:
• If no subwoofer is connected to the AVR 130,
press the
▲/▼ Buttons n on the remote so
that
SUB NONE appears in the Lower
Display Line
¯. When this option is selected,
