[. . . ] When only front left and right speakers are used, with no center or surround speakers, VMAx and Dolby Virtual Speaker are good alternative modes. When you have completed your selection for the center channel, press the ¤ Button n on the remote to move the cursor to SURROUND. Press the < / > Buttons o on the remote to select the option that best describes the side surround speakers in your system based on the speaker definitions shown on this page. When SMALL is selected, low-frequency surround channel sounds will be sent to the subwoofer output only. If you choose this option and there is no subwoofer connected, you will not hear any low-frequency sounds from the surround channel. When 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 NONE is selected, surround sound information will be split between the front left and front right outputs. For optimal performance when no surround speakers are in use, the Dolby 3 Stereo or Dolby Virtual Speaker mode should be used. When you have completed your selections for the main surround channels, press the ¤ Button n on the remote to move the cursor to SURR BACK. This line serves two functions: It not only configures the setting for the surround back channels when they are present; it also tells the AVR 240's processing system to configure the unit for either 5. 1 or 6. 1/7. 1 operation. The surround back speakers need only be configured to be active once, and the AVR 240 will set them as active for all surround modes and sources. If you wish to set them as inactive for some sources, you may scroll down to the BASS MGR line of the SPEAKER SIZE menu and press the </> Buttons o so that INDEPENDENT appears. See below for more information on the Global/Independent setting for the bass manager. Press the </> Buttons o to select the option that best describes the speaker in use at the back surround position based on the definitions shown below: When NONE is selected, the system will adjust so that only 5. 1-channel surround processing/decoding modes are available. Speaker Size This menu tells the AVR 240 which type of speakers are in use. This is important as it adjusts the settings that decide whether your system will use the "5-channel" or "6-channel/7-channel" modes, as well as determining which speakers receive low-frequency (bass) information. If you have already completed an automated setup using EzSet+ the settings calculated during that procedure will already appear. No further adjustment is required unless you wish to change a specific item to reflect your personal taste or a nonstandard system configuration. You will first need to access the SPEAKER SIZE submenu. With the MANUAL SETUP submenu on screen, the > cursor should be pointing to the first line, SPEAKER SIZE. If it is not, use the ¤ Button n until it is, then press the Set Button p. The SPEAKER SIZE submenu will appear (see Figure 12). * L C S S S B E E U U U A F N R R B S SPEAKER T T R R W S /RI ER OUN BA OOF MG TO GHT: : D : CK : ER : R : SIZE S S S S S G M M M M U L A A A A B O L L L L L L L L * BAL SETUP BACK MANUAL Figure 12 For each of these settings, use the LARGE setting if the speakers for a particular position are traditional full-range loudspeakers.
