SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 29

System Configuration

When any needed adjustments are made to the

crossovers, one additional adjustment is available

to custom tailor the way information is sent to the

subwoofer. The

LFE LP FLT line adjusts the

frequency cutoff of the low pass filter that deter-

mines the frequency at which information is sent

to the subwoofer when playing a digital sound-

track that has a dedicated low frequency effects

channel. In most cases the default frequency of

120Hz is appropriate, since that is the frequency

most commonly used in the creation of LFE chan-

nels during a movie’s sound mixing process.

However, you may wish to change the setting

based on your individual preference or the charac-

teristics and capabilities of your subwoofer.

To change this setting when the

SPEAKER

X-OVER

menu is on the screen, press the

⁄

Navigation Button

until the cursor

is on the

LFE LP FLT line and then press

the

‹

›

Navigation Button

until the

desired setting is shown in highlighted video.

When all changes to Speaker Crossover settings

have been made, press the

⁄

Navigation

Button

until the cursor is on the BACK

TO MANUAL SETUP

menu and then press-

ing the Set Button

so that you may make

any other adjustments to the system parameters.

It is also important to remember to rerun the

EzSet/EQ system if any changes have been made

to the settings on this menu, following the

instructions shown on page 26 for using the

Manual mode.

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 con-

trol. 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

to 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 indica-

tor appears at a speaker location, that position 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.

Delay Settings

Due the different distances between the listening

position for the front channel speakers and the

surround speakers, the amount of time it takes for

sound to reach your ears from the front or sur-

round speakers is different. You may compensate

for this difference through the use of the delay

settings to adjust the timing for the specific

speaker placement and acoustic conditions in your

listening room or home theater.

To re-synchronize the front, center and surround

channels at first measure and note the distance

from the listening/viewing position to the front,

center, surround and surround back (if any) speak-

ers in meters.

If you have already calibrated your system using

EzSet/EQ the delay settings shown will reflect the

results of the measurements made by EzSet/EQ.

No further changes are needed unless you wish to

change an item to reflect your taste or a nonstan-

dard system configuration. To change the settings,

follow the instructions below to enter the distance

between the speaker’s location and your main lis-

tening position. The measurements need not be

accurate to the inch, as the system is designed to

accommodate typical listening rather than a spe-

cific “sweet spot” position.

In addition to adjusting the delay time for each

individual speaker position, the AVR is among the

few A/V receivers that allows you to adjust the

delay for the combined output of all speakers as a

group. This feature is called A/V Sync Delay; it

allows you to compensate for delays to the video

image that may be caused by the processing in

products such as digital video displays, video

scalers, digital cable or satellite systems, or per-

sonal video recorders. With proper adjustment of

the setting for A/V Sync Delay, you can eliminate

the loss of lip sync that may be caused by digital

video applications.

The Delay setting for all speakers configured for

your system will be available only (with 5.1 or

with 6.1/7.1 configuration) when any Dolby sur-

round mode is selected (except Dolby-3-Stereo).

In addition they are selectable with these modes

only, with all other modes the delay times are

fixed. Note that the Delay settings are "Global"

for all inputs, using those Dolby modes, and need

not to be repeated with any input.
