If you do not have THX speakers, define which (if any) of your speakers is full
range, and select an appropriate crossover frequency below which bass is redi-
rected to bass-capable speakers.
1 ENTER THE SET CONFIGURATION MENU AND DEFINE HOW YOU WANT
YOUR FRONT L&R SPEAKERS TREATED
Using
enter and the volume ± buttons, choose either full rng or x-over (the
crossover) as appropriate for your front left and right speakers. Save your
selection (enter).
2 REPEAT THIS PROCESS FOR THE CENTER AND REAR SPEAKERS
Remember that you have an additional option with the center speaker of
none (e.g., a phantom center channel).
3 DEFINE YOUR SUBWOOFER APPROPRIATELY AND RETURN TO THE SET
SPEAKERS MENU
You have the choice of either one/none unless you have already selected
stereo subs on the aux chans line of the menu. If so, the options are L & R
or none.
4 CHOOSE WHAT YOU WANT TO DO WITH YOUR AUXILIARY CHANNELS, IF
ANYTHING
As notes above, your options include dual drive, sides, stereo subs, or off.
Note that whether dual drive or sides, using the aux channels for surround
speakers will result in them having the same crossover characteristics as
those defined for the rear speakers.
5 CHOOSE AN APPROPRIATE CROSSOVER FREQUENCY FOR YOUR
SPEAKERS
If you are in doubt as to what this setting ought to be, please contact your
authorized Proceed dealer for assistance. They are familiar with the speak-
ers they sell and can provide the best advice.
important note
about your subwoofer:
If you define all of your speakers as full range (as in the example above), the
only signal left for the subwoofer to reproduce is the low frequency effects (LFE)
or “.1” channel in discrete multichannel formats such as AC-3. Thus your
subwoofer will remain inactive during other surround modes such as
pro logic and stereo surround. If you want your subwoofer to be contributing to
the overall performance of your system more consistently, you need to give it
something to do—by defining at least some of your speakers as something other
than full range.
set distance In order to provide optimal performance, the AVP needs to know where your
speakers are located relative to the primary listening position. With this informa-
tion, it can adjust the timing of the delivery of the various channels of sound so
that sounds that are supposed to reach you at the same time actually do so—
even though the speakers from which those sounds emanate may be at different
distances from the listener.
