¶,

as doing so may damage your speakers, the

AVR 135 or both. When 7.1-channel information is

received, for example through the

6/8-Channel

Direct Inputs

f, or when deriving 7-Channel Stereo

or Logic 7/7.1 surround infor

mation, the AVR 135

combines the left and right surround back channel

information and outputs it as a single surround back

channel.

When you have completed your selection for the back

surround channels, press the

Button n on the

remote to move the cursor to

SUBWOOFER.

Press the

‹

›

Buttons oon the remote to select

the option that best describes your system.

The choices available for the subwoofer position will

depend on the settings for the other speakers, particu-

larly the front left/right positions.

If the front left/right speakers are set to

SMALL,

the subwoofer will automatically be set to

SUB,

which is the “on” position.

If the front left/right speakers are set to

LARGE,

three options are available:

• If no subwoofer is connected to the AVR 135,

press the

‹

›

Buttons o on the remote so

that

NONE appears in the on-screen menu.

When this option is selected, all bass information

will be routed to the front left/right “main” speakers.

• If a subwoofer is connected and you wish to have

the front left/right “main” speakers reproduce bass

frequencies at all times

, and have the subwoofer

operate only when the

VR 135 is being used

with a digital source that contains a dedicated

Low-Frequency Effects, or LFE, soundtrack. Press

the

‹

›

Buttons o on the remote so that

LFE appears in the on-screen menu.

• If a subwoofer is connected and you wish to use it

for bass reproduction in conjunction with the main

front left/right speakers, regardless of the type of

program source or Surround mode, press the

‹

›

Buttons o on the remote so that SUB

LFE+L/R

appears in the on-screen menu.

When this option is selected, a full-range signal

will be sent to the front left/right “main” speakers,

and the subwoofer will receive the bass frequen-

cies under frequency selected,

as described

below, as well as the LFE information.

When all initial speaker “size” settings have been

made

, you now have the option to take advantage of

the AVR 135’s Triple Crossover system, which allows

individual crossover settings to be made for each

speaker grouping

The low-frequency crossover point

is set by the design of your speakers. Depending on

the design and driver complement of your speakers,

it is usually defined as 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 and surrounds, by looking at the

specifications page of each speakers’ owner’s manual,

or by contacting your dealer

or the manufacturer’s

customer service department or Web site. You will

need this figure to accurately configure the next group

of settings.

The factor

y default setting for all speaker positions is

100Hz. 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 by pressing the

⁄

Button n so that the cursor moves back up to the

top of the list of setting options. Press the

⁄

Buttons n so that X-OVER is highlighted and

the menu data will change to the screen shown in

Figure 6.

Figure 6

To change the setting for any of the three speaker

groups

press the

⁄

Buttons n until the cursor

is next to the line where you wish to make a change

and then press the

‹

›

Buttons o until the

desired setting appears. The available choices at which

point low-frequency infor

mation will be sent to the

subwoofer

, rather than to the main speaker channel,

are 40Hz, 60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz 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 low-

frequency limit or crossover point 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

LFE+L/R has

been selected as the subwoofer option, the front-

channel sound infor

mation below the setting shown

will be sent to BOTH the front-channel speakers and

the subwoofer

Note, also, that when the

LARGE-

LFE+L/R

setting has been selected, the

crossover point is set by making adjustments at the

SUBWOOFER line, but the setting for the front

left/right speakers will automatically change in tandem

so that the same setting appears for both speaker

positions. This ensures that there is no “hole” in the

sound field due to different crossover points at the

front and subwoofer speakers

When all crossover settings have been made, or in

those cases where none are needed,

press the

Button n so that the cursor is next to the BASS

MGR

line to make the final setting on this menu.

This setting allows you to use the same speaker size

configuration for all inputs

, or to have different settings

for each input. In most cases the factory default set-

ting of

GLOBAL will be appropriate, as most lis-

teners do not need to have individualized settings.

However, some listeners, particularly those with full-

range front speakers that are used for both movies

and music, may prefer that different bass management

be used when listening to music through a CD player

as opposed to a movie from a DVD player, VCR or

cable/satellite set-top.

If you wish to customize the speaker settings for

each input, make certain that the

MODE line of

the

SPEAKER SETUP menu is set to

SIZE, and that the cursor is on the BASS

MGR

line, and press the

‹

›

Buttons o so that

INDEPENDENT appears. When this setting is

entered by exiting the menu, you may need to go

back to the

INPUT menu to select another input,

and then return to this menu page again to change

the settings for that input. Repeat the procedure for

any input where you wish to have a different set of

speaker configurations.

NOTE: When the INDEPENDENT setting is

activated,

you may assign different speaker size set

tings to each input to accommodate different bass

management settings that match your preferences

with the type of program material normally used with a

particular source (for example

when movies are played

from DVD and music from a CD player). However, the

actual speaker crossover settings are set only once and

do not change with the input selection.

The reason is

that, while bass management preferences may vary,

the actual speakers remain the same

regardless of the

bass-management and redirection settings.

When all speaker selections have been made

press

the

Button n and then the Set Button p to

return to the

MASTER MENU.

Delay Settings

Due to the different distances between the listening

position for the front channel speakers and the sur-

round speakers, the amount of time it takes for sound

to reach your ears from the front versus surround

speakers differs

You may compensate for this differ-
