[. . . ] 2) Surround Speaker Mode This switch determines the frequency range of the rear surround speakers. Select Large, None or Small depending on the type of speakers you will be using. The factory default setting is "Small". SPEAKER MODE SETTINGS Since the ADP303 may be used with a wide variety of speaker types, it is important that you adjust the rear panel speaker mode switches before use. Setting these switches will tell the ADP303 what type of speakers you are using so that the audio outputs will be directed to the proper speaker. In general, a "Large" speaker is defined as a traditional full range speaker that includes a woofer or some prepackaged "satellite/subwoofer" systems and is capable of reproducing sounds below 100 Hz. For the purposes of this product, a "Small" speaker is one that is not capable of delivering sounds significantly below 100 Hz. (Most "satellite" type speakers fall into this category. ) Before setting the switches make note of the type of front, center and rear speakers that will be used. For further clarification of your speakers' type consult the speaker owner's manual and look on the "specifications" page to find the frequency range. SPEAKER SELECTION The home theater system you already have installed should work with the ADP303 provided that there are left, center and right front speakers, left and right rear/surround speakers and a subwoofer. For best results we recommend that the front speakers be of the same type, with identical or similar driver units. This will deliver smooth pans across the front sound stage as the action moves from side to side. 24093_ADP 303 Eng. 27/02/1998 10:34 Side 8 Installation & Setup 7 Large: Set the switch to this position when using traditional full range loudspeakers that are capable of handling sounds below 100 Hz. In this position, the output to the surround output jacks is full range. None: Set the switch to this position when no surround speakers are connected. In this position the full range surround audio that would otherwise be routed to the surround channels will be mixed in with the FRONT LEFT and FRONT RIGHT audio. Small: Set the switch to this position when using smaller bookshelf or "satellite" speakers that have limited low frequency range and are unable to reproduce sounds below 100 Hz. When the switch is in the "Small" position all sounds below 100 Hz will be routed to the Subwoofer output jack. When the Subwoofer Speaker Mode switch ª is in the "ON" position, LFE surround audio will be routed to the subwoofer. When the Subwoofer Speaker Mode Switch ª is in the "OFF" position, LFE surround audio will be routed to the front left/right speakers. 3) Center Speakers Mode This switch determines the frequency range for the center channel speaker. Select Large, None or Small depending on the type of center channel speaker installed. The factory default setting is "Small". Large: Set the switch to this position when using traditional full range loudspeakers that are capable of handling sounds below 100 Hz.
