AVR

Step One – Determine Your Speakers’ Crossover Frequencies

Without using the EzSet/EQ process, the AVR can’t detect how many speakers

you’ve connected to it; nor can it determine their capabilities. Consult the technical

speciﬁcations for all of your speakers and locate the frequency response, usually given

as a range, e.g., 100Hz – 20kHz (±3dB). Write down the lowest frequency that each of

your speakers (except the subwoofer) is capable of playing (100Hz in the above example)

as the crossover in Table A3 in the Appendix. NOTE: This is not the same as the crossover

frequency listed in the speaker’s speciﬁcations.

The AVR’s bass management determines which speakers will be used to play back the

low-frequency (bass) portion of the source program. Sending the lowest notes to small

satellite speakers will result in bad sound and may even damage the speakers. The

highest notes may not be heard at all through the subwoofer.

With proper bass management, the AVR divides the source signal at a crossover frequency.

All information above that crossover frequency is played through your system’s speakers,

and all information below the crossover frequency is played through the subwoofer. This

way, each loudspeaker in your system will perform at its best, delivering a more powerful

and enjoyable sound experience.

Step Two – Measure the Speaker Distances

Ideally, all of your speakers would be placed in a circle, with the listening position at the

center. However, you may have had to place some speakers a little farther away from

the listening position than others. Because of this, sounds that are supposed to arrive

simultaneously from different speakers may blur, due to different arrival times.

Your AVR provides a Distance adjustment that compensates for these real-world speaker

placement differences.

Measure the distance from each speaker to the listening position, and write it down

in Table A4 in the Appendix. Even if all of your speakers are the same distance from

the listening position, enter your speaker distances as described in Set the Speaker

Distances, on page 32.

Step Three – Manual Speaker Setup Menu

Now you are ready to program the AVR. Sit in your usual listening position, and make the

room as quiet as possible.

With the AVR and video display turned on, press the OSD/Menu button to display the

menu system. Select the Speaker Setup menu, and then select Manual Setup.

If you have already run the EzSet/EQ process as explained in Conﬁgure the AVR for Your

Speakers, on page 22, the AVR saved the results. To ﬁne-tune the EzSet/EQ results, or

to conﬁgure the AVR from scratch, select Manual Setup. The Manual Setup screen will

appear.

NOTE: To save the current settings, press the Back/Exit button.

For best results, adjust the submenus in this order: Speakers, Crossover, Distance and

Output Adjust.

Speakers

This selection lets you program the correct setting for each speaker group. The settings

in this menu affect the remainder of the speaker setup process and the availability of

various surround modes at any time.

Select ON when the speakers are present in the system; select OFF for positions where

no speakers are installed. The Front Left & Right setting is always ON and may not be

disabled.

Any changes will be reﬂected in the total Number Of Speakers displayed at the top of

the screen.

AVR 1710/AVR 171 only: The Assigned AMP setting includes four options:

Surround Back:• Select the Surr. Back option if your main system is a 7.1-channel

system and you are using surround back left and surround back right speakers.

Zone 2:• Select the Zone 2 option if your main system is a 5.1-channel system and

you want to use the Assigned Amp speaker outputs to power speakers in Zone 2. See

Install a Multizone System, on page 19, for more information.

Front Height:• Select the Front Height option if your main system is a 7.1-channel

system and you are using Front Height speakers with Dolby Pro Logic IIz.

Off: • Select Off if you have not connected speakers to the Assigned Amp speaker

outputs.

NOTE: When you set Assigned AMP to “Zone 2,” the speakers connected to the Assigned

Amp outputs will not be conﬁgured during the EzSet/EQ process. Conﬁgure the speakers

manually, as explained below.

When you have ﬁnished, press the Back/Exit button.

Crossover

After you return to the Speaker Setup menu, navigate to the Crossover line and press the

OK button to display the Crossover menu.

The AVR will display only those speaker groups you set to On in the Number of Speakers

menu.

Refer to Table A3 to see the crossover frequencies that you wrote down for your

speakers.
