This extra step ensures that any automated changes of output levels are

consciously chosen and therefore less likely to cause surprises. It also allows

you to disable all the surround mode defaults in one easy step, should you

decide at some future date to return to the calibrated settings for all your

routine listening.

2 SELECT THE SURROUND MODE YOU WOULD LIKE TO MODIFY

For example, when you have selected the

discrete mode (e.g., Dolby Digital,

DTS, MPEG), you might see a screen that looks something like this:

DISCRETE

CENTER: 0

REAR: 0

SUB: 0

SUB MODE: DEFAULT

THX: ON

Other surround modes may have fewer items, since only those adjustments

that are appropriate to a given surround mode are displayed. Thus, (for ex-

ample) both center and rear are omitted on 2-ch/surround off.

3 ADJUST THE LEVEL OF CENTER, REAR AND SUB CHANNELS RELATIVE TO

THE FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT SPEAKERS TO SUIT YOUR PREFERENCE

Using the volume ± buttons, move the cursor to the item you wish to ad-

just; press enter; then adjust the setting with the volume ± buttons. Save

each setting as you go along by pressing enter.

4 SELECT “DEFAULT,” “FORCE ON,” OR “FORCE OFF” AS THE SETTING FOR

YOUR SUBWOOFER IN THIS SURROUND MODE

If you simply leave this setting as default for all your surround modes, the

AVP will always use the default speaker settings from the set speakers

menu.

If you prefer to include a subwoofer for movies and remove it when listen-

ing to music, you should set speakers for a biamplified system (80 Hz con-

figuration settings), set the movie-related surround modes for sub: force on,

and set the music-oriented surround modes to sub: force off. This way, your

subwoofer will automatically be engaged or disengaged as you change be-

tween (for example) discrete and stereo surround.

5 IF YOU HAVE DUAL DRIVE SURROUND SPEAKERS, SELECT EITHER

“DIPOLE” OR “BIPOLE” FOR THE DEFAULT SETTING OF YOUR SPEAKERS

FOR THIS SURROUND MODE

If you have not already selected dual drive as the way you wish to utilize

your auxiliary channels (in the set configuration meu), this option will not

even appear. This is normal, and intended to avoid misleading you, since

the setting would have no meaning without dual drive speakers.
