06 Setting up the receiver 4 Use ' or ' to adjust the setting. The setting is entered automatically. 5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 to set other surround modes. 6 When you're done, press ENTER to exit. • If the cone size (diameter) of the speaker is larger than 5 inches, set the speaker size to L. • If you're not using a subwoofer, we recommend setting the front speakers to L. The setting display is automatically exited after 20 seconds of inactivity. Speaker setting • Default setting: S (all speakers) You must let the receiver know how many speakers you have, and how big they are. The size you choose (large or small) determines how much bass is sent from the receiver to the speakers. 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. • Cycle through the available choices using ' or ' and choose a configuration that matches your speaker setup. One of the following configurations should match your setup: FS-CS-SS FL-C -SS FS-CS-S FL-C -SL FS-C -SS FL-CS-S FL-CL-SL FL-CS-SS FL-CL-SS FL-CS-SL FL-CL-S 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). 36 En
