24 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

System Configuration

When SMALL is selected, with all digital sur-

round modes low-frequency surround channel

sounds will be sent to the Fronts when Sub is

turned off or to the subwoofer output when Sub

is on. With any analog surround mode the rear

bass feed depends on the mode selected and the

setting of the Sub and front speakers.

When

LARGE is selected, a full-range output

will be sent to the surround channel outputs (with

all analog and digital surround modes), and,

except with Hall and Theater modes, NO surround

channel bass will be sent to the subwoofer out-

put.

When

NONE is selected, surround-sound infor-

mation will be split between the front left and

front right outputs. For optimal performance

when no surround speakers are in use, the VMAx

mode should be used.

When you are using surround back speakers with

your system, press the

Button

on the

remote to move the cursor to

SURR BACK.

This line serves two functions in that it not only

configures the setting for the surround back

channels when they are present, it also tells the

DPR’s processing system to configure the unit for

either 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 operation.

Press the

‹

›

Buttons on the remote to select the

option that best describes the speakers in use at

the left and right back surround positions based

on the definitions on this page:

When

NONE is selected, the system will adjust

so that only 5.1-channel surround processing/

decoding modes are available and the surround

back amplifier channels will not be used. When

this is the case for your system you may wish to

take advantage of the availability of this amplifier

channel pair for use in powering a second set of

speakers that have their source selected by the

DPR’s multiroom control system. See page 42 for

more information.

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 information below the crossover

point (identical with the one for the surround

speakers) will be sent to the subwoofer output

when the subwoofer is set to ON, or to the Front

LEFT/RIGHT when subwoofer is set to OFF.

When

LARGE is selected the system will adjust

so that the full complement of 6.1/7.1 surround

processing/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.

7. When you have completed your selection for

the surround channels, press the

Button

on the remote to move the cursor to SUB-

WOOFER

8. Press the

‹

›

Buttons

on 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 speak-

ers, particularly the front left/right positions.

If the front left/right speakers are set to

SMALL, the subwoofer will automatically be set

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 DPR, press

the

‹

›

Buttons

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” speak-

ers.

• If a subwoofer is connected to the DPR, you

have the option to have the front left/right

“main” speakers reproduce bass frequencies at

all times, and have the subwoofer operate only

when the DPR is being used with a digital

source that contains a dedicated Low Frequency

Effects, or LFE soundtrack. This allows you to

use both your main and subwoofer speakers to

take advantage of the special bass created for

certain movies. To select that option press the

‹

›

Buttons

on the remote so that SUB

(

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

you are listening to, press the

‹

›

Buttons

on the remote so that SUB L/R+LFE

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. The

subwoofer will receive the front left and right

bass frequencies under the crossover frequency

selected in another setting on this menu, as

described below, and also the LFE soundtrack.

9. When all initial speaker “size” settings have been

made, you now have the option to take advantage

of the DPR’s Quadruple Crossover system, which

allows individual crossover settings to be made for

each speaker grouping set to "Small". The low-fre-

quency crossover point is set by the design of your

speakers. It is defined as the frequency which is the

lowest possible frequency the speaker is capable of

reproducing. Before making any changes to the set-

tings for the crossover point we suggest that you

find the crossover point for the speakers in each of

the four groupings, front left/right, center, surround

and surround back by looking at the specifications

page of the speaker’s owner’s manual, by getting

that information from the manufacturer’s Web site,

or by contacting your dealer or the manufacturer’s

customer service department. You will need this fig-

ure to accurately configure the next group of set-

tings.

The factory 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

so that the cursor moves back up

to the top of the list of setting options. Press the

‹

›

Buttons

so that X-OVER is high-

lighted and the menu data will change to the screen

shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5

To change the setting for any of the four speaker

groups Left/Right, Center, Surrounds or Surround

Back, press the

⁄

Buttons

until the cur-

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

change and then press the

‹

›

Buttons

until the desired setting appears. The available

choices at which point low-frequency information

will be sent to the subwoofer (or to the Front

Left/Right speakers in case subwoofer is set to

OFF), rather than to the 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 possi-

ble, pick the closest choice that is ABOVE the

speaker’s lowfrequency limit 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 information

below the crossover point selected for the L/R

front speakers (when fronts are set to "Small")

will be sent to BOTH the front channel speakers

and the subwoofer.

When all speakers are set to

LARGE the

crossover point for the fronts (selectable when

they are set to "Small") will affect the LFE signal

and the bass support for the front speakers by the

sub (when the sub is set to L/R+LFE, see above)

only. In that case the default value "100Hz"

should be kept or selected for the crossover point

for the L/R fronts (selectable when they are

"Small") as it´s indicated (and marked by *)

behind the

LEFT/RIGHT line in the speaker

setup menu when the X-OVER option is selected.

The setting for the crossover point for the LFE

channel, which is created to provide specific low-

frequency information in many movies with

digital soundtracks, may be set to match the

crossover for any of the four speaker groups.
