System Configuration

Number of Speakers

Move the cursor to the Number of Speakers line

and press the SetButton. See Figure 10.

Figure 10 – Number of Speakers Menu

The Number of Speakers menu lists each of the

speaker groups.

Program the correct setting for each group: ON

when the speakers are present in the system,

and OFF for positions where no speakers have-

been installed. The Front Left & Right speakers

are always ON and may not be disabled. Any

changes made to the system configuration will

be reflected in the total number speakers dis-

played at the top of the screen.

The setting for the surround back speakers

includes a third option: Zone 2. The AVR 355/

AVR 255 is among the few receivers in its class

that is capable of multizone operation, allowing

placement of a pair of speakers in another room

with listeners in the remote room enjoying either

the same program as in the main room or a dif-

ferent source. The AVR’s assignable surround

back amplifier channels make multizone opera-

tion easier than ever, since an external power

amplifier is no longer required. Simply select the

Zone 2 option at this line, and connect the

Surround Back Speaker Outputs to loudspeakers

located in the remote room.The main room will

be configured automatically for up to 5.1chan-

nels. See the Multizone Operation section for

more information.

The settings in this menu affect a number of

aspects of the AVR’s operation, including the

remainder of the speaker setup process and the

availability of various surround modes at any

time.

When you have finished programming the num-

ber of speakers in the system, select the Back

option to insure the settings are saved correctly.

You may use the Back/Exit Button, and the set-

tings will be saved.

Adjust Crossover Frequencies Menu

After you have programmed the number of

speakers in the system, the AVR will return to

the Manual Speaker Setup menu. Navigate to

the Crossover (Size) line and press the OK

Button to display the Adjust Crossover

Frequencies menu (see Figure 11).

Figure 11 – Adjust Crossover Frequencies Menu

The AVR will only display those speaker groups

which you programmed in the Number of

Speakers menu.

Refer back to Step One, where you determined

each speaker’s crossover. Again, for the main

speakers, this is the lowest frequency the speak-

er reproduces well; and for the subwoofer, it’s

the highest.

For each main speaker, select one of the seven

crossover frequencies: 40Hz, 60Hz, 80Hz,

100Hz, 120Hz, 150Hz or 200Hz. If the crossover

frequency you determined in Step One is below

40Hz, select the first option, “Large”. This set-

ting doesn’t refer to the speaker’s physical size,

but to its frequency response, which is also

called “full range”. This means the speaker is

capable of playing sounds throughout the fre-

quencyspectrum, from the high pitches to the

bass.

Specify the size of the subwoofer’s transducer as

8, 10, 12 or 15 inches.

Make a note of each speaker group’s crossover

setting in Table A3 inthe appendix.

When you have finished entering the settings,

remember to select Back, not to press the Exit

Button.

Sub Mode

Move the cursor to the Sub Mode line to pro-

gram bass management for the subwoofer. The

subwoofer’s setting depends upon how you pro-

grammed the front left and right speakers.

•

If you set the front speakers to a numeric

crossover frequency, the subwoofer setting will

be LFE, and you won’t be able to change it.

All low-frequency information will always be

sent to the subwoofer.

If you don’t have a subwoofer, we recommend

hat you either upgrade to full-range speakers or

add a subwoofer to your systemat the earliest

opportunity.

• If you set the front speakers to LARGE, you

may select from two possible settings for the

subwoofer.

■ L/R+LFE: This setting sends all low-frequen-

cy information to the subwoofer, including

both information that would normally be

played through the front left and right

speakers and the special low-frequency

effects (LFE) channel information.

■ LFE: This setting plays low-frequency infor-

mation contained in the left and right pro-

gram channels to the front speakers, and

directs only the LFE channel information to

the subwoofer.

NOTE: The Speaker/Channel Indicators on the

front panel of the receiver (see Figure on page

33) will display the speaker size settings as fol-

lows.

For each speaker configured numerically, a single

box will appear in the position for that speaker.

For each speaker configured as LARGE, a double

box will appear in its position. If a speaker is

configured as OFF, no box will appear. The sub-

woofer will be indicated by a single box, or no

box if no subwoofer has been configured.The

letters inside the boxes appear when a digital

signal is being received that has that channel

discretely encoded. The letters flash when the

signal is not present, such as when a DVD is

paused. A line will connect the SBL and SBR

boxes when a 6.1-channel signal is detected,

indicating that the same signal is playing

through both speakers.
