[. . . ] When SMALL is selected, low-frequency center channel sounds will be sent only to the subwoofer output. If you choose this option and there is no subwoofer connected, you will not hear low-frequency sounds from the center channel. When LARGE is selected, a full-range output will be sent to the center speaker output, and NO center channel signal will be sent to the subwoofer output. NOTE: If you choose Logic 7 as the surround mode the "large" option will not be available for the center speaker. This is due to the requirements of Logic 7 processing, and does not indicate a problem with your receiver. When 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 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 LEFT/RIGHT:SMALL CENTER :SMALL SURROUND :SMALL SURR BACK :SMALL MAIN SUBWOOFER :SUB BASS MGR :GLOBAL BACK TO MANUAL SETUP ATE:NO E VER T UST MENU Figure 12 BACK MASTER Figure 11 The first line of the MANUAL SETUP menu indicates whether EzSet/EQ has been run and its settings saved. If this line indicates YES, then you will be able to see the settings determined by EzSet/EQ as you view the SPEAKER SIZE, SPEAKER X-OVER, DELAY ADJUST and CHANNEL ADJUST submenus. If you wish to reset the speaker size, crossover, output level and delay settings to their factory defaults, use the //¤ Buttons n to move the > cursor to point to this line, and then use the </> Buttons o to change this setting to NO. You may change this setting back to YES to reactivate the EzSet/EQ settings. NOTE: If you have forgotten to unplug the EzSet/EQ microphone, you will not be able to access the SPEAKER SIZE, SPEAKER X-OVER and DELAY ADJUST menus. Adjust the submenus in the MANUAL SETUP submenu in order, as some settings require that previous settings be established first. For each of these settings, use the LARGE setting if the speakers for a particular position are traditional full-range loudspeakers. Use the SMALL setting for smaller, frequency-limited satellite speakers that do not reproduce sounds below 200Hz. 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 to their ability to reproduce low-frequency sounds. If you are in doubt as to which category describes your speakers, consult the specifications in the speakers' owner's manual, or ask your dealer. Begin the speaker setup process by making certain that the cursor is pointing toward the LEFT/RIGHT line, which sets the configuration for the front left and right speakers. If you wish to make a change to the front speakers' configuration, press the </> Buttons o so that either LARGE or SMALL appears, matching the appropriate description from the definitions shown above.

Processor Reset In the rare case in which the unit's operation or the displays seem abnormal, the cause may involve the erratic operation of the system's memory or microprocessor. To correct this problem, first unplug the unit from the AC wall outlet and wait at least three minutes. After the pause, reconnect the AC power cord and check the unit's operation. If the system still malfunctions, a system reset may clear the problem. [. . . ]
