Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. [. . . ] The Power Indicator 2 will turn blue to confirm that the unit is on, and the Main Information Display F will also light up. NOTE: After pressing one of the Input Selector buttons 5 to turn the unit on, press the AVR Selector g to have the remote control the AVR functions. 12 sysTEM CoNfIGURATIoN System Configuration 5. Press the OK button A again, and use the KL buttons Z on the remote to select the option that best describes your system based on the Center speaker definitions shown in preceding section. When Small is selected, low frequency center channel sounds will be sent to the fronts, if they are set for laRGE and sub is turned off. When sub is on, low frequency center channel sounds will be sent to the subwoofer only. When laRGE is selected, a full-range output will be sent to the center speaker output, and with analog and digital surround modes (except with the Pro logic II Music mode) No center channel signal will be sent to the subwoofer output. When NONE is selected, no signal will be sent to the center channel output. The receiver will operate in a "phantom" center channel mode and center channel information will be sent to the left and right front channel outputs and its bass will be sent to the subwoofer output too as long as sUb l/R+lfE is selected in the sUbWoofER line in this menu (see below). Note that for the use of logic 7C surround mode a Center speaker is needed, but logic 7M works well without a Center too. When you have completed your selection for the center channel, press the OK button A, and then press the KL buttons Z on the remote to change the display to SURR SpEaKER. Press the OK button A again, and then use the KL buttons Z on the remote to select the option that best describes your system based on the surround speaker definitions shown in preceding section. When Small is selected, with all digital surround modes low frequency surround channel sounds will be sent to the fronts, when sub is turned off, or to the subwoofer output when sub is on. With the analog surround modes the rear bass feed depends on the mode selected and the setting of the sub and front speakers. When laRGE is selected, a full-range output will be sent to the surround channel outputs (with all analog and digital surround modes), and, except with Hall and Theater modes, No surround channel bass will be sent to the subwoofer output. When NONE is selected, surround sound information will be split between the front-left and front-right outputs. Note that for optimal performance when no surround speakers are in use, the Dolby 3 stereo mode should be used instead of Dolby Pro logic. When you have completed your selection for the surround channel, press the OK button A, and then press the KL buttons Z on the remote to change the display to S-W SpEaKER. Press the OK button A, and then press the KL buttons Z on the remote to select the option that best describes your subwoofer system. The choices available for the subwoofer position will depend on the settings for the other speakers, particularly the front left/right positions. If the front left/right speakers are set to Small, the subwoofer will automatically be set to SUB, which is the "on" position. If the front left/right speakers are set to laRGE, three options are available: · If no subwoofer is connected to the AVR, press the arrow buttons Z so that SUB NONE appears in the display. When this option is selected, all bass information will be routed to the front left/right "main" speakers. [. . . ] The display will show NONE, when such a station is selected and PTy is active. The AVR will find the appropriate station, even if it is not broadcasting traffic information when the search is made.
