This menu screen also allows you to enter the settings

for the AVR 135’s Triple Crossover feature, which

allows a different crossover point to be used for the

front left/right,

center and surround speakers. In sys-

tems where full-range or tower speakers are used for

the front soundstage or where different brands or

models are in use at the various speaker positions, this

feature allows you to customize the bass management

and redirection circuits with a precision not previously

possible.

It is easiest to enter the proper settings for speaker

setup through the

SPEAKER

SETUP

(Figure 5).

If that menu is not already on your screen

from the prior adjustments, press the

OSD Button

v to bring up the MASTER MENU (Figure 1),

and then press the

¤ Button n until the cursor is

on the

SPEAKER SETUP line. At this point,

press the

Set Button p to bring

up the

SPEAKER SETUP menu (Figure 5).

Figure 5

The first line of the SPEAKER SETUP menu

(Figure 5) allows you to switch the menu to change

either the speaker size setting or the exact crossover

point used for that speaker group. For the first pass

through the menu,

leave the setting at its default

option of

SIZE, and then proceed as outlined

below. Once the speaker choices have been set, you

may wish to return to this line to change the option so

that the crossover settings may be adjusted.

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.

When

SMALL is selected, low-frequency sounds will

be sent only to the subwoofer output. If you choose this

option and there is no subwoofer connected, you will

not hear any low-frequency sounds from the front

channels.

When

LARGE is selected,

a full-range output will be

sent to the front left and front right outputs. Depending

on the choice made in the

SUBWOOFER line in

this menu, bass information may also be directed to the

front left/right speakers, a subwoofer or both.

NOTE: When the front speakers are set to LARGE,

the

SUBWOOFER is set to NONE, and the sur-

round mode is set to “Surround Off,” or pure

two-chan-

nel stereo, if an analog audio source is selected,

it will be

routed directly from the input to the volume control

without being digitized or processed. If you have full-

range front speakers and wish to remove all digital pro-

cessing from the circuit path, select this configuration.

If you wish to use this option with only one input, such

as a CD player or an optional,

external phono preamp,

choose the

INDEPENDENT setting on the

BASS MGR line at the bottom of this menu so that

only those inputs where the analog bypass is desired

will be routed in this fashion.

When you have completed your selection for the front

channel, press the

Button n on the remote to

move the cursor to

CENTER.

Press the

‹

›

Buttons o on the remote

to select

the option that best describes your system, based on the

speaker definitions shown below.

When SMALL is selected, low-frequency center

channel sounds will be sent only to the subwoofer out-

put. 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

“phantom” center channel mode and center channel

information will be sent to the left and right front chan-

nel outputs

When only front left and right speakers are

used, with no center or surround speakers, VMAx is a

good alternative mode.

When you have completed your selection for the cen-

ter 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

only. If you choose this option and there is no sub-

woofer connected, you will not hear any low-frequency

sounds from the surround channel.

When

LARGE is selected, a full-range output will

be sent to the surround channel outputs, and NO sur-

round channel signals will be sent to the subwoofer

output.

When

NONE is selected, surround sound informa-

tion will be split between the front left and front right

outputs

. For optimal performance when no surround

speakers are in use, the Dolby 3 Stereo mode should

be used.

When you have completed your selections for the

main surround channels, press the

¤ Button n on

the remote to move the cursor to

SURR BACK.

This line serves two functions in that it not only config-

ures the setting for the surround back channels when

they are present; it also tells the AVR 135’s processing

system to configure the unit for either 5.1 or 6.1/7.1

operation.

NOTE: In order to adjust the speaker settings for the

surround back channels, either a Logic 7 or DTS

Neo:6 mode must first be selected or a multichannel,

Dolby Digital or DTS source must be playing. This

enables the system to activate the surround back

processing mode.

Press the

‹/› Buttons o on the remote to select

the option that best describes the speaker in use at

the back surround position based on the definitions

shown below:

When

NONE is selected, the system will adjust so

that only 5.1-channel surround processing/decoding

modes are available.

When

SMALL is selected,

the system will adjust so

that the full complement of 6.1/7.1 surround processing

decoding modes are available, and low-frequency

infor

mation below the crossover point will be sent to

the subwoofer output. If you choose this option and

there is no subwoofer connected,

you will not hear

any low-frequency sounds from the surround back

channel.

When

LARGE is selected,

the system will adjust so

that the full complement of 6.1/7.1 surround process-

ing/decoding modes are available

and a full-range

signal will be sent to the surround back channels, with

no low-frequency information sent to the subwoofer

output.

NOTE: It is not possible to configure the

VR 135 for

7.1-channel operation. Do not connect more than one

speaker to the

Surround Back Speaker Outputs
