Page 18 Surround setup Always set up and calibrate your speakers immediately after connecting your preamplifier to your system. You need to set up the speakers to achieve the best, most accurate performance from your preamplifier. This is important because the preamplifier needs to "know" your speaker configuration to control your current system. Any time you change your speaker configuration, you should perform setup and then calibration on your preamplifier. When you are setting up your speakers, your preamplifier gives you several options to help you maximize your audio/video system. Since every system is unique, you can choose from menu options and try different combinations until the sound is exactly the way you want it. Channel mode explanation Channel Left / Right Mode/Option Large Small Description 80 Hz high pass filter off. Filters bass frequencies from front channels and sends it to the subwoofer (fc = 80 Hz @12 dB/Oct). Filters bass frequencies from the center channel and sends it to the subwoofer (fc = 80 Hz @12 dB/Oct). Use if you do not have a center channel speaker. Sends the center channel information to the front speakers. Filters bass frequencies from rear channels and sends it to the subwoofer (fc = 80 Hz @12 dB/Oct). Use if you do not have rear channel speakers. Center Large Small None Surround Large Small None Page 19 Channel Subwoofer Mode/Option Yes No Description Sends output to the subwoofer (fc = 80 Hz @24 dB/Oct). Sends all bass frequencies to the front left and right channels including the LFE channel. Removes SW BASS MENU. Bass Management Note: LFE = Low Frequency Effects channel (or . 1 channel) Option/mode Bass Normal Bass LFE Off SW Bass Normal Description LFE on. Bass frequencies and LFE are sent to the appropriate channels. Removes the LFE channel from the bass management summing circuitry. Adds bass to the subwoofer for any channel set to SMALL. Example: If the front speakers are set to SMALL, the bass frequencies go to the subwoofer, not the front speakers. SW Bass Ultra Allows for all channels to be summed to the subwoofer regardless of SMALL/LARGE speaker settings. Delay settings CTR DELAY - Center channel delay. The center channel has a variable delay that may be set from 0 ms to 5 ms. This adjustment is designed to delay the center channel speaker when the front three speakers are not lined up on the same plane. The surround channel delay is variable between 0 ms to 15 ms for Dolby Digital and 15 ms to 30 ms for Pro Logic.
