Advanced Setup – Part 2
•When adjusting the level of an active subwoofer system,
you may also need to adjust the subwoofer’s own volume
control.
•When you adjust the channel levels while in the SYSTEM
SETUP CHANNEL LEVEL mode, the channel level
adjustments made will affect all surround modes. Consider
this mode a Master Channel Level adjustment mode.
•After you have completed the SYSTEM SETUP CHANNEL
LEVEL adjustments, you can then activate the individual
surround modes and adjust channel levels that will be
remembered for each of those modes. Then, whenever you
activate a particular surround sound mode, your preferred
channel level adjustments for just that mode will be recalled.
Check the instructions for adjusting channel levels within
each surround mode ( page 64, 65).
•You can adjust the channel levels for each of the following
surround modes: PURE DIRECT/DIRECT, STEREO,
DOLBY/DTS SURROUND, HOME THX CINEMA, 7CH
STEREO, WIDE SCREEN, SUPER STADIUM, ROCK ARENA,
JAZZ CLUB, CLASSIC CONCERT, MONO MOVIE, VIDEO
GAME and MATRIX.
•When using either surround speakers A or B, or when using
surround speakers A and B at the same time, be sure to
adjust the balance of playback levels between each channel
for the various selections of “A”, “B” and “A + B”.
Setting the Crossover Frequency
•Set the crossover frequency according to the low frequency
response characteristics of the various (front, center,
surround and surround back) speaker systems.
•If a connected main or surround loudspeaker has a specified
–3 dB low frequency response rolloff, adjust the crossover
frequency for that speaker to match the specified low
frequency response limit – e.g. 80 Hz.
•When a speaker is set to SMALL, low frequencies in that
channel that are below the crossover frequency are directed
to the system’s subwoofer(s), or to speakers that are set to
LARGE, for systems with no connected subwoofer(s).
