SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 25

System Configuration

Since the crossover point commonly used in the

creation of the LFE channel is 120Hz, we

recommend that you select the speaker group

whose crossover point is closest to 120Hz. To do

this, press the

⁄

Navigation Button

until the cursor is next to the LFE line, and then

press the

‹

›

Navigation Button

until the

name of the speaker group with the desired

crossover frequency appears. Of course, you may

also experiment with different settings to find the

one that provides the smoothest and most

complete bass response in your particular

listening environment. When all crossover

settings have been made, or in those cases where

none are needed, press the

Navigation

Button

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

configuration and crossover settings for all

inputs, or to have different settings for each

input. In most cases, the factory default setting of

GLOBAL will be appropriate, as most systems

do not need individual speaker settings. However,

when full-range front speakers are used for both

movies and music, different bass management

settings may 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.

To customize the speaker-size configurations to

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. Press the

‹

›

Navigation Button

so that INDEPENDENT appears in

highlighted video. When this choice is entered by

exiting the menu, the settings just entered will

apply to the current input

ONLY, and you will

need to go back to the

IN/OUT menu to

select another input, and then return to this

menu page to change the settings for the next

input. Repeat the procedure for any input where

you wish to have a different set of speaker

configuration and crossover settings.

NOTE: The inidependent feature allows you to

select a different speaker size configuration

(Large, Small or None, as appropriate) for each

input source. However, the individual crossover

point setting may only be set once, and the

selection made during the initial setup will be

used for all inputs, regardless of any changes

made to the “Large” or “Small” settings for the

speaker groups attached to any input. The reason

is that while you may prefer different settings for

the bass redirection (that is, which signals go to

the subwoofer or the speaker group), the actual

crossover point remains the same since the actual

loudspeakers themselves remain the same

regardless of any other setting.

10. When all speaker selections have been made,

press the

Button

until the cursor is next

to the

BACK TO MASTER MENU line and

press the Set Button

to return to the Main

menu.

11. The Speaker Configuration may also be

changed at any time without using the full-OSD

on-screen menu system by pressing the Speaker

Selector

on the front panel or

on the

remote control. Once the button is pressed,

FRONT SPEAKER will appear in both the

lower third of the video display and the Main

Information Display

Within five seconds, either press the

‹

›

buttons

on the front panel or the

⁄

buttons

on the remote to select a different speaker

position, or press the Set Button

begin the adjustment process for the front left

and right speakers.

When the Set button

has been pressed

and the system is ready for a change to the front

speaker setting, the on-screen display and Main

Information Display

will read FRONT

LARGE

or FRONT SMALL depending on

the current setting. Press the

‹

›

buttons

on the front panel or the

⁄

buttons

the remote until the desired setting is shown,

using the instructions for “large” or “small”

shown earlier, then press the Set button

If another speaker position needs to be changed,

press the

‹

›

buttons

on the front panel

or the

⁄

buttons

on the remote to select

a different speaker position, press the Set button

and then the

‹

›

buttons

on the

front panel or the

⁄

buttons

on the

remote until the correct speaker setting is shown

and press the Set button

again to con-

firm the selection.

To assist in making these settings, the icons in

the Speaker/Channel Input Indicators

will change as the speaker type is selected at

each position. When only the inner icon box is lit,

the speaker is set for “small.” When the inner box

and the two outer boxes with circles inside them

are lit, the speaker is set for “large." When no

indicator appears at a speaker location, that posi-

tion is set for “none” or “no” speaker.

Note: These icons are available only when

making setup changes without the use of the full

OSD mode.

As an example, in the Figure below, all speakers

are set for “large,” and a subwoofer is set.

Surround Setup

Once the speaker setup has been completed, the

next step for that input is to set the surround

mode you wish to use with that input. Since sur-

round modes are a matter of personal taste, feel

free to select any mode you wish – you may

change it later. The Surround Mode chart on page

31 may help you select the mode best suited to

the input source selected. For example you may

select Dolby Pro Logic II or Logic 7 for most ana-

log inputs and Dolby Digital for inputs connected

to digital sources. In the case of inputs such as a

CD Player, Tape Deck or Tuner, you may wish to

set the mode to Stereo, if that is your preferred

listening mode for standard stereo sources, where

it is unlikely that sur

round encoded material will

be used. Alternatively, the 5 Channel Stereo or

Logic 7 Music mode may also be a good choice

for stereo-only source material.

It is easiest to complete the surround setup using

the full-OSD on-screen menus. From the

MASTER menu (Figure 1), press the

⁄

but-

tons

until the

›

cursor is next to the

SURROUND SELECT menu. Press the

Set Button

so that the SURROUND

SELECT

menu (Figure 6) is on the screen.

Figure 6

Each of the option lines on this menu (Figure 6)

selects the surround mode category, and within

each of those categories there will be a choice of

the specific mode options. The choice of modes

will vary according to the speaker configuration

in your system.

When the

SURR BACK line of the

SPEAKER SETUP menu (Figure 5) is set to

NONE the DPR will be configured for 5.1-chan-

nel operation, and only the modes appropriate to

a five-speaker system will appear.
