[. . . ] When CEN SP LARGE is selected, a full-range output will be sent to the centerspeaker output, and NO center channel signal will be sent to the subwoofer output. When CEN SP NONE is selected, no signals will be sent to the center-channel output. The receiver will operate in a "phantom" center-channel mode and center-channel information will be sent to the left- and right-front channel outputs. When you have completed your selection for the center channel, press the Set button t 3 , and then press the 1 </ > buttons r on the remote or the Selector buttons 3 on the front 4 panel to change the display to SUR SPEAKER. Press the Set button t 3 again, and 1 then use the </ > buttons r on the remote or the Selector buttons 3 on the 4 front panel to select the option that best describes your system based on the speaker definitions shown in preceding section. When SUR SP SMALL is selected, low-frequency surround-channel sounds will be sent to the subwoofer output only. Note that if you choose this option and there is no subwoofer connected, you will not hear any low-frequency sounds from the surround speaker. When SUR SP 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 SUR SP NONE is selected, surround-sound information will be split between the front-left and front-right outputs. Note that for optimal performance when no surround speakers are in use, the Dolby 3 Stereo mode should be used instead of Dolby Pro Logic. 4.

The Power Indicator 3 will turn green to confirm that the unit is on, and the Information Display 3 will also light up. 5 Speaker Configuration The first few adjustments tell the AVR 100 which type of speakers are in use. This is important as it adjusts the settings that determine which speakers receive low-frequency (bass) information. For each of these settings use the LARGE setting if the speakers for a particular position are traditional full-range loudspeakers that are capable of reproducing sounds below 100Hz. Use the SMALL setting for smaller, frequency-limited satellite speakers that do not reproduce sounds below 100Hz. Note that when "small" speakers are used, a subwoofer is required to reproduce low-frequency sounds. Remember that the "large" and "small" descriptions do not refer to the actual physical size of the speakers, but their ability to reproduce low-frequency 16 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION System Configuration 9.
