[. . . ] Similarly, you might decide not to use a subwoofer if your main Left and Right speakers are capable of reproducing enough bass for a satisfying music/movie experience. The 551R will then automatically re-direct the bass from the Subwoofer/Low Frequency Effect channel to the Left and Right Front Speakers. Note: This setup is very important as the 551R will also automatically use this information to select appropriate Dolby and DTS decoding modes dependant not only on the source material but also the speaker package it knows you have. 3 1 2 4 1 7. 1 3 5 To tell the unit the type of package you have, turn on the On-Screen Display via the remote button as shown.

LB/RB Subwoofer : : : : : : 7. 1 Large Small Small Small Yes 551R ENGLISH The following two sections can be performed by Cambridge Audio CAMCAS procedure so you can if you wish jump straight to that section. However, it is recommended that you do read these sections to understand the reasons for these settings and their implications. Speaker delay Return : [OSD] Because the speakers in a surround sound system are usually different distances from the listener the 551R incorporates the ability to apply a variable digital delay to each of the channels so that the sound from each arrives at the same time at the listening position for best surround-sound effect. Now move down and by highlighting each speaker in turn and using the Left and Right arrows select from ‘Large’, ‘Small’ or ‘None’ for each speaker. 'Large' or 'Small' are used to describe each speaker in terms of bass response, they do not necessarily reflect the actual physical size of the speaker. Large = Speakers with an extended low frequency response of approximately 20-40Hz to 16-20kHz (floorstanders or high quality larger stand-mounted speakers). To set the delay times automatically, refer to the Auto setup section of this manual. To set the delay times manually, simply measure the distances from the listening position to each speaker as shown in the following diagram: 1 8 3 2 1 = Front Left speaker 2 = Front Right speaker 3 = Centre speaker 4 = Surround Left speaker 5 = Surround Right speaker 6 = Surround Back Left (when used) 7 = Surround Back Right (when used) Small = Speakers with a less extended low frequency response of approximately 80-100Hz to 16-20kHz (small stand-mounted, bookshelf or satellite speakers). Setting each speaker allows the 551R to perform what is called Bass Management and to direct low frequency bass from music and the Low Frequency Effects channel of surround sound material to those speakers best able to reproduce it. If you do not wish to use any of the speakers set its setting to ‘None’. The Subwoofer output can also be set to Yes or No. If no sub is being used make sure this setting is set to No to allow the 551R to re-direct the bass information in this channel to other speakers. Note: The 551R will force some speakers to certain settings in the following circumstances!The Front Left and Right speakers may be ‘Large’ or ‘Small’ but never ‘None’ as they are always required for any type of music/movie reproduction. 4 5 6 7 8 = Subwoofer (can be placed almost anywhere) Note: No delay setting for the subwoofer is necessary. Bass must always be reproduced by either the Front Left and Right or Subwoofer channel (or both). Setting the Front Left and Right to ‘Small’ will result in the Subwoofer automatically being set to ‘Yes’. Setting the Subwoofer to ‘No’ will automatically result in the Front Left and Right being set to ‘Large’. Set the distances in the OSD Speaker Distance menu to the nearest value in metres (1 foot = 0. 3 metres). The speed of sound is approx 340 metres per second, the 551R thus introduces approx 3mS of delay per metre of distance set. Go to the ‘Speaker Distance’ and highlight each speaker in turn. Set the distance to the nearest value to that which you measured by using the Left and Right arrows (the values do not need to be exact): Press the OSD button to exit the menu. If the Front Left and Right cannot reproduce low frequency bass a Subwoofer must be used. If the Front Left and Right are set as ‘Small’ the Sub must be Set to ‘Yes’. Also, setting the Front Left and Right as ‘Small’ will always set the other speakers as ‘Small’ (and the Sub to ‘Yes’). [. . . ] systems. Left Surround Rear (150°) Right Surround Rear (150°) Repeat this procedure with the Mute, Sub On/Off, Stereo Mono and Tuner AM/FM buttons to send On/Off commands. The Tuner AM/FM button also provides unique FM and AM commands to allow switching to a specific band. A full code table and RS232 protocol for this product is available on the Cambridge Audio website at www. cambridge-audio. com. 7. 1 Configuration 1 or Configuration 5 Reset/Back-up memory The 551R has a function that preserves the preset memory and other settings. In the event of a power failure, or if the power cord of the unit is disconnected from the mains outlet, the back-up memory will preserve the preset memory for approximately one week. [. . . ]
