To define the GENERAL layout
First define the GENERAL layout; the other layouts will all
be based on this.
•With MODE highlighted use the VOLUME control on
the front panel or the < and > buttons on the remote
control to select GENERAL.
• Use the INPUT SELECTOR on the front panel or the A
and V buttons on the remote control to highlight each
menu option in turn.
• Use the VOLUME control on the front panel or the <
and > buttons on the remote control to select the
appropriate value for each option.
If you select SMALL for a channel, frequencies below the
X- OVER setting are sent to the speaker(s) specified by the
BASS MODE option.
The options are explained in the following table:
Option Description
SUBWOOFER Select OFF or ON to specify whether the layout
should include a subwoofer.
FRONT Select SMALL or LARGE to specify whether the
front speakers can handle bass.
CENTER Select NONE, SMALL, or LARGE to specify
whether there is a center speaker in the system,
and whether it is small or large.
Option Description (continued)
SURR Select NONE, SMALL, or LARGE to specify
information about the surround speakers.
SURR BACK Select NONE, 1/SMALL, 1/LARGE, 2/SMALL,
or 2/LARGE to specify the number and size of
the surround back speakers.
BASS MODE Specifies how to handle the bass from channels

To define other layouts
You can now optionally define layouts DD, DTS, and
OTHER which modify the GENERAL layout when the
source is Dolby Digital, DTS, or two-channel. For example,
you can add a subwoofer to the DD layout for use with

SETTING THE SPEAKER DELAYS
The next step in setting up the loudspeakers is to set the
speaker delays to ensure that the sound image is correctly
