Designed to provide all the excitement and detail of movie soundtracks and every nuance of musical selections, the AVR is truly a multichannel receiver for the new millennium.

[. . . ] If you have already run EzSet/EQ the settings calculated during that procedure will already appear. No further adjustment is required unless you wish to conform a specific item to your personal taste or a nonstandard system configuration. The low-frequency crossover point is set by the design of your speakers. It is defined as the frequency which is the lowest possible frequency the speaker is capable of reproducing. Before making any changes to the settings for the crossover point we suggest that you find the crossover point for the speakers in each of the three groupings, front left/right, center front and surrounds by looking at the specifications page of the speaker's owner's manual, by getting that information from the manufacturer's Web site, or by contacting your dealer or the manufacturer's customer service department. You will need this figure to accurately configure the next group of settings. If that setting is acceptable for all channels, then no adjustments are needed and you may skip this section. However, should you wish to change one of the settings, please proceed to the SPEAKER X-OVER submenu, as shown in Figure 10. Buttons Ea on the remote 6.

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. 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 T O MANUAL SETUP line and press the Set 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.

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 Set button @F.

" When no indicator appears at a speaker location, that position is set for "none" or "no" speaker.
