When using surround back speakers, adopt the following settings. q Adopt "7.1ch" for the Amp Assign setting. • The default setting for the Amp Assign mode of AVR-689 is "ZONE2". w Adopt a setting other than "OFF" for the "SB CH OUT" setting of "Surround Parameter". A2 SB CH OUT (for 2-channel sources) Determine whether to use surround back speakers. [Selectable items] ON : The surround back channel signal is played. OFF : The surround back channel signal is not played. A3 SW ATT (Subwoofer Attenuation) Attenuate subwoofer level when using EXT. IN mode. [Selectable items] ON : The input from the subwoofer channel is attenuated. OFF : The input from the subwoofer channel is not attenuated. Usually use in this mode. Set this to "ON" if the subwoofer channel level seems too high when playing audio signal. A4 Subwoofer Turn subwoofer output on and off. [Selectable items] ON : The subwoofer is used. OFF : The subwoofer is not used. A5 Tone Control Turn tone adjustments on and off. [Selectable items] ON : Allow tone adjustment (treble, bass). OFF : Playback without tone adjustment.

L/R : Optimize frequency response of speakers except front L and R speakers. Flat : Optimize frequency response of all speakers to flat response. OFF : Turn equalizer off. Audyssey Audyssey Byp. L/R OFF Audyssey Flat Operating from the main unit or remote control unit Press MULTEQ. • When "Audyssey", "Audyssey Byp. L/R" or "Audyssey Flat" is selected, the Audyssey MultEQ indicator lights green. • After running Auto Setup, if the Speaker Configuration, Distance, Channel Level and Crossover Frequency have changed without increasing the number of speakers measured, the Audyssey MultEQ indicator lights red. NOTE • "MultEQ" can only be set when Auto Setup has been performed. • "MultEQ" cannot be set in the following situations. • If "Auto Setup" fails to be completed. • After running Auto Setup, when the number of used speakers has increased from the number of measured speakers. • If the settings of speakers for which "None" has been determined at "Auto Setup" are changed, "Audyssey", "Audyssey Byp.

Either perform Auto Setup again, or return to the setting after running Auto Setup with "System Setup" - "Speaker Setup" - "Restore". • When using headphones, "MultEQ" is set to "OFF". "Bass" and "Treble" can be set when "Tone Control" is set to "ON". 35 For details on adjusting individual parameters, see "Adjusting the parameters" (vpage 33).
