EXAMPLE ­ (bold type) indicates a specific remote control or front-panel button, or rear-panel connection jack EXAMPLE ­ (OCR type) indicates a message that is visible on the front-panel information display 1 ­ (number in a square) indicates a specific front-panel control 0 ­ (number in a circle) indicates a rear-panel connection 0 ­ (number in an oval) indicates a button or indicator on the remote The appearance of the text or cursor for your receiver's on-screen menus may vary slightly from the illustrations in this manual. [. . . ] However, should you wish to change one of the settings, please proceed to the SPEAKER X-OVER submenu, as shown in Figure 8. Figure 8 To change the setting for any of the three speaker groups Left/Right, Center or Surround, press the //¤ Buttons D until the cursor is next to the line where you wish to make a change and then press the </ > Buttons Ea until the desired setting appears. The available choices at which point low-frequency information will be sent to the subwoofer (or to the Front Left/Right speakers in case subwoofer is set to OFF), rather than to the speaker channel, are 40Hz, 60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz, 150Hz and 200Hz. Pick the choice that is identical to the information for the speakers, or if an exact match is not possible, pick the closest choice that is ABOVE the speaker's lowfrequency limit to avoid the creation of a low-frequency "hole" where your system will have no bass information. In cases where LARGE has been selected as the front channel speaker option and L/R+LFE has been selected as the subwoofer option, the front channel sound information below the crossover point selected for the L/R front speakers (when fronts are set to "Small") will be sent to BOTH the front channel speakers and the subwoofer. The crossover settings for the Left/Right, Center and Surround speakers are used to determine where bass information is sent when it is derived from the main channels of a source. The setting for the menu line shown as LFE is used to impose a low-pass filter point for the information in the Low Frequency Effects (LFE) channel that is a part of Dolby Digital- and DTS-encoded source material. While the LFE channel, which is the ". 1" you see in surround sound designations, is restricted to low frequency sounds, some mixes may include information that is higher in frequency than your subwoofer is capable of reproducing. To prevent unwanted sounds from being sent to subwoofers that cannot handle them and which do not have a built-in low-pass filter, the LFE option line enables you to select a setting for the low-pass filter that is part of the subwoofer feed from the LFE channel. The settings available are the same as those tied to any one of the four available speaker positions on this submenu. We recommend that you use the frequency that is just slightly higher than the upper capability limit of your subwoofer, as shown in the sub's Owner's Manual. When the cursor is on the LFE line, press the </> Navigation Buttons E to choose the appropriate setting. Note that the crossover point for the surround speakers and the surround back speakers will be identical. That´s why no crossover point for the surround back speakers is selectable or shown in the menu. Important Note: All settings for the crossover points will be "Global", i. e. they will be identical for all inputs no matter if the BASSMANAGER (see above) was configured for "Global" or "Independent". When all speaker selections have been made, press the ¤ Button D until the cursor is next to the BACK TO MANUAL SETUP line and press the OK Button F to return to the Manual setup submenu. The Speaker Configuration may also be changed at any time without using the full-OSD on-screen menu system by pressing the Speaker Selector 6 on the front panel or b on the remote control. Once the button is pressed, FRONT SPEAKER will appear in both the lower third of the video display and the Main Information Display Ò. Within five seconds, either press the </> buttons 7 on the front panel or the //¤ buttons D on the remote to select a different speaker position, or press the OK Button @F to begin the adjustment process for the front left and right speakers. When the OK button @ F has been pressed and the system is ready for a change to the front speaker setting, the on-screen display and Main Information Display Ò will read FRONT LARGE or FRONT SMALL depending on the current setting. Press the </> buttons 7 on the front panel or the //¤ buttons D on the remote until the desired setting is shown, using the instructions for "large" or "small" shown earlier, then press the OK button @F. If another speaker position needs to be changed, press the </> buttons 7 on the front panel or the //¤ buttons D on the remote to select a different speaker position, press the OK button @ F and then the </> buttons 7 on the front panel or the //¤ buttons D on the remote until the correct speaker setting is shown and press the OK button @ F again to confirm the selection. [. . . ] 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. To clear the AVR's entire system memory including tuner presets, output level settings, delay times and speaker configuration data, first put the unit in Standby by pressing the System Power Control button 2. Next press and hold the Tone Mode button 8 for five seconds, then release the button. Note that once you have cleared the memory in this manner, it is necessary to re-establish all system configuration settings and tuner presets. NOTE: Resetting the processor will erase any configuration settings you have made for speakers, output levels, surround modes, digital input assignments as well as the tuner presets. [. . . ]
