7ENGLISHADVANCED FuNCTIONSThe main room will be configured automatically for up to 5.1 channels. Seethe Multizone Operation section for more information.NOTE: When the Surround Back speakers are set to “Zone 2”, they will notbe configured during the EzSet/EQ process. To use the speakers in the mainlistening area, configure them as “On”, and run the EzSet/EQ process fora 7.1-channel system. If the speakers will only be used during multizoneoperation, configure them manually, as explained below.The settings in this menu affect the remainder of the speaker setup processand the availability of various surround modes at any time.When you have finished, select the Back option or use the Back/Exit Button.adjust crossover frequencies menuAfter you have programmed the number of speakers, the AVR will returnto the Manual Speaker Setup menu (see Figure 30). Navigate to theCrossover (Size) line and press the OK Button to display the Adjust CrossoverFrequencies menu (see Figure 32).Figure 32 – Adjust Crossover Frequencies MenuThe AVR will only display those speaker groups programmed in the Number ofSpeakers menu.Refer to Table A3 for each speaker’s crossover. For the main speakers, this isthe lowest frequency the speaker reproduces well.For each main speaker, select one of the seven crossover frequencies: 40Hz,60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz, 150Hz or 200Hz. If the crossover frequency isbelow 40Hz, select the first option, “Large”. This setting doesn’t refer to thespeaker’s physical size, but to its frequency response, which is also called “fullrange”.Specify the size of the subwoofer’s transducer as 8, 10, 12 or 15 inches. TheAVR always sets the subwoofer crossover to 100Hz, but uses the transducersize for equalization. Write down the settings in Table A3 in the appendix.When you have finished entering the settings, select Back, or press the Back/Exit Button.Sub modeMove the cursor to the Sub Mode line. This setting depends upon how youprogrammed the front left and right speakers.If you set the front speakers to a numeric crossover frequency, the•subwoofer setting will always be SUB.

If you don’t have a subwoofer,either upgrade to full-range speakers or add a subwoofer at the earliestopportunity.If you set the front speakers to LARGE, select one of the three settings for•the subwoofer.L/R+LFE♦ : This setting sends all low-frequency information to thesubwoofer, including both information that would normally beplayed through the front left and right speakers, and the special low-frequency effects (LFE) channel information.Off♦ : Select this setting when no subwoofer is in use. All low-frequency information will be sent to the front left and right speakers.LFE♦ : This setting plays low-frequency information contained in theleft and right program channels through the front speakers, anddirects only the LFE channel to the subwoofer.NOTE: If you are using a Harman Kardon HKTS Series speaker system,select the appropriate numeric crossover frequency for the Main Speakergroups, and the subwoofer will automatically be set to LFE.adjust Speaker Distance menuPlacing the speakers at different distances from the listening positions canmuddy the sound, as sounds are heard earlier or later than desired.Even if all of your speakers are placed the same distance from the listeningposition, do not skip this menu.On the Manual Speaker Setup menu, move the cursor to the Distance line andpress the OK Button to display the Adjust Speaker Distance menu. See Figure33.Figure 33 – Adjust Speaker Distance MenuEnter the distance from each speaker to the listening position, as measuredin Step Two – Measure Speaker Distances and recorded in Table A4 in theappendix (see page 15).The default unit of measurement is feet. To change the unit to meters, returnto the main AVR menu. Select the System Settings menu, then scroll down tothe General Setup section and select the Unit of Measure line. Press the OKButton to change the setting.Select a speaker, then use the M N Buttons to change the measurement.The values vary between 0 and 10 meters, with a default of 3 meters for allspeakers.NOTE: If the surround back channels are assigned to the multizonesystem, you will not be able to adjust their delay settings.
