System Configuration
9. Enter the information for the
SURROUND CH. speaker by using the
‹ or › buttons i on the remote to
select the type of surround channel
speaker that will be used. Press the
buttons so that LARGE, SMALL or
NONE is highlighted to match the speak-
er type you will use as described
in #7 above. The LARGE setting sends a
full range output to the left/right
surround speakers, while the SMALL
setting sends low-frequency sounds to
the subwoofer output. If the surround
speakers will not be used, the NONE set-
ting will send the audio for the surround
channels to the front left/right speakers.
When the selection has been made, press
the ¤ button once so that the on-screen
cursor
>
is pointing to GO TO SETUP
MENU 2. Press Select j to move to
the next menu.
10. At SETUP MENU 2 (see figure #3),
you enter information that configures
the AVR85 for the type of center channel
speaker to be used, and whether or not a
subwoofer is in use. While the on-screen
cursor is pointing to CENTER CH. press
the ‹ or › buttons i on the remote to
select the correct type of center channel
speaker as described in #7. When
LARGE is highlighted a full-range sig-
nal will be sent to the center channel.
When SMALL is highlighted the audio
to the center channel will be cut at
100Hz and low-frequency information
will be routed to the subwoofer output.
When the selection has been made, press
the ¤ button once so that the on-screen
cursor
>
is pointing to the
SUBWOOFER line of the display.
11. At the SUBWOOFER line use
the ‹ or › buttons i on the remote
to highlight ON or OFF. Select ON when
an optional external subwoofer connect-
ed to the Subwoofer Preamp Output
⁄. If a subwoofer is not used, highlight
OFF. In this position all low-frequency
sounds (below 100Hz) will be routed to
the front left/right speakers, depending on
the setup for those speakers. Note that the
subwoofer cannot be set to OFF when the
front speakers are set to SMALL in
SETUP MENU 1. When the selection
has been made press the ¤ button once
so that the on-screen cursor
>
is point-
ing to GO TO SETUP MENU 3. Press
Select j to move to the next menu.
12. At SETUP MENU 3 (see figure #4),
various control functions will be set.
The first item is the LFE LEVEL
CONTROL. “LFE” is the Low-Frequency
Effects channel that is used when Dolby
Digital signals are present. The normal
setting for LFE is 0dB, but the control
may also be set to -10dB for reduced out-
put when an LFE signal is present. The
LFE may also be turned OFF, which will
route any LFE signals to the front
left/right speakers. When the LFE level is
set, or to bypass this setting, press the ¤
button i on the remote to move to the
next setting.
Note: When the LFE is set to OFF the
LFE output is cut, even though the sys-
tem is still decoding the LFE signal from
a digital audio source.

13. The next line is the NIGHT MODE
setting. This feature reduces the input
level of Dolby Digital sources by 1/3 to 1/4
at their loudest thresholds, preventing
unwanted bursts of loud sounds without
restricting the dynamic range or volume
of other sounds or at less than maximum
levels. The feature may be turned OFF
by pressing the ‹ or › buttons i on
the remote until OFF is highlighted.
The Night mode may also be turned
on and off at any time by pressing the
Night button e on the remote. When
the Night mode is set, or to bypass this
setting, press the ¤ button i to move
to the next setting.
14. The SETUP LOCK prevents any of
the major control settings from being
changed once it is engaged. This feature
is set at the factory to UNLOCK, so that
all settings may be adjusted. If you wish
to prevent settings from being easily or
inadvertently being changed, use the
‹ or › buttons i on the remote until
LOCK is highlighted. Once the LOCK
setting is engaged and you exit SETUP
MENU 3, no changes may be made to
any of the Setup menus. To make
changes to these menus you must return
to SETUP MENU 3 and use the ‹ or ›
buttons i on the remote until
UNLOCK is highlighted. When the
LOCK setting is engaged, the word
LOCK will appear at the top of the
menus to remind you that no changes
may be made. At this point, unless you
wish to make changes to the Multiroom
system, press the ¤ button i twice
and then press Select j to RETURN
TO THE MAIN MENU. Setup and
operation of the Multiroom system is
described on page 32 of this manual.
