[. . . ] ® Designed to Entertain. TM AVR 144 AUDIO/VIDEO RECEIVER OWNER'S MANUAL SAFETY INFORMATION CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN 1. All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the product is operated. The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference. All warnings on the product and in the operating instructions should be adhered to. [. . . ] Use the ¤ Button on the remote to move the cursor to the MANUAL SETUP line, and press the Set Button to display the Manual Setup menu. See Figure 33. The Speaker Size menu lists each of the speaker groups. You will be programming the correct setting for each group, indicating how many speakers are in your system and what their capabilities are, based on the information you obtained in Step One ­ Determine Speaker Size. Each of the main speaker groups can be set to one of three settings: LARGE, SMALL or NONE. These settings don't refer to the physical size of the speaker, but rather to the size of the frequency range of each speaker. These may or may not turn out to be the same. If the lower number of the frequency response for your speakers is less than 100Hz, choose the LARGE setting. If this number is 100Hz or greater, choose the SMALL setting. If you don't have a speaker connected to that position, choose NONE. As you can see, the system requires you to use both speakers in a pair. For example, you can't connect just a front left speaker without a right speaker, or just a right surround (rear) speaker without a left one. However, you can connect only the front speakers, or both front and surround speakers without a center, or the front left/right and center speakers without any surrounds. 27 INITIAL SETUP LEFT/RIGHT: This line tells the AVR 144 the capabilities of your front left and right speakers. Use the </> Buttons to select either SMALL or LARGE for these speakers. CENTER: Move the cursor to the line for the center speaker, and use the </> Buttons to select a setting for this speaker. NOTE: If the receiver is currently in one of the Logic 7 surround modes, which will be the case the first time you turn on the receiver, you won't be able to set the center speaker to LARGE, due to the requirements of the Logic 7 processor. As you listen to the receiver, if you find the SMALL setting is not satisfactory, change the surround mode to one of the Dolby Pro Logic II modes (using the Surround Select menu, accessible from the Master Menu), and then you may come back to this menu and change the center speaker to the LARGE setting. SURROUND: Move the cursor to the line for the surround, or rear, speakers, and use the </> Buttons to select a setting for these two speakers. SUBWOOFER: Move the cursor to the line for the subwoofer, which is programmed a little differently. The subwoofer's "size" setting depends upon how you programmed the front left and right speakers. · If you set the front speakers to SMALL, the subwoofer setting will be SUB, and you won't be able to change it. All low-frequency information will always be sent to the subwoofer. If you don't have a subwoofer, you may wish to set your front speakers to LARGE so as not to lose this information, but you may need to lower the volume to avoid adverse results.
