System Configuration
When you have completed your selection for the center channel, press the ¤ Button p on the remote to move the cursor to SURROUND. Press the � / � Buttons n 39 on the remote to select the option that best describes the surround speakers in your system based on the speaker definitions shown on this page. When SMALL is selected, low-frequency surround channel sounds will be sent to the subwoofer output only. If you choose this option and there is no subwoofer connected, you will not hear any low-frequency sounds from the surround speakers. When LARGE is selected, a full-range output will be sent to the surround channel outputs, and NO surround channel signals 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. For optimal performance when no surround speakers are in use, the Dolby 3 Stereo mode should be used. If the CH CONFIG has been set to 5.1, pressing the ¤ Button p will take you to the subwoofer settings, as there are no Surround Back speakers in your system to configure. If the CH CONFIG has been set to 6.1/7.1, press the ¤ Button p to enter the correct setting for the �size� of the Surround Back speakers. With the cursor on the SURR BACK line, press the � or � Buttons n 39 so that the correct choice is highlighted. When you have completed your selection for the back surround channels, press the ¤ Button p on the remote to move the cursor to SUBWOOFER. Press the � / � Buttons n 39 on the remote to select the option that best describes your 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 8000, press the � / � Buttons n 39 on the remote so that NONE appears in the on-screen menu. When this option is selected, all bass information will be routed to the front left/right �main� speakers. � If a subwoofer is connected to the AVR 8000, you have the option to have the front left/right �main� speakers reproduce bass frequencies at all times, and have the subwoofer operate only when the AVR 8000 is being used with a digital source that contains a dedicated Low Frequency Effects, or LFE soundtrack. This allows you to use both your main and subwoofer speakers to take advantage of the special bass created for certain movies. Press � / � Buttons n 39 on the remote so that SUB (LFE) appears in the on-screen menu. � If a subwoofer is connected and you wish to use it for bass reproduction in conjunction with the main front left/right speakers, regardless of the type of program source or Surround mode you are listening to, press the � / � Buttons n 39 on the remote so that SUB LFE+L/R appears in the on-screen menu. When this option is selected, a full-range signal will be sent to the front left/right �main� speakers, and the subwoofer will receive the bass frequencies under frequency selected, as described below. Once you have completed the speaker configuration settings, press the ¤ Button p on the remote to change the cursor to X-OVER FREQ. The subwoofer crossover setting may only be adjusted using the on-screen display system. At this line, you will select the frequency at which bass information is directed to the Subwoofer Output §. To select the crossover frequency, press the � / � Buttons n 39 until the frequency closest to the lowest frequency of your front left/right speakers appears. This figure is normally printed in the owner�s manual or data sheet for the speakers; or consult the speaker�s manufacturer. Note that if you are using THX-certified speakers, the 80Hz crossover point should be selected. When all speaker selections have been made, press the ¤ Button p and then the Set Button o to return to the MASTER MENU. Surround Setup Once the speaker setup has been completed, the next step is to set the surround mode you wish to use with the input that was previously selected in the IN/OUT menu. Since surround modes are a matter of personal taste, feel free to select any mode you wish � you may change it later. However, to make it easier to establish the initial parameters for the AVR 8000, it is best to select Dolby Pro Logic II or Logic 7 for most analog inputs and Dolby Digital for inputs connected to digital sources. In the case of inputs such as a CD Player, Tape Deck or Tuner, you may wish to set the mode to Stereo (�Surround off�) as they are not typically used with multichannel program material, and it is unlikely that surround-encoded material will be used. Alternatively, the Logic 7 Music mode is a good choice for stereo-only source material. See page 28 for more information on available surround modes. When selecting surround modes for digital program material, the AVR will always examine the data stream and automatically select Dolby Digital or DTS as applicable. You may then change to THX or another choice as the program type and your speaker configuration permits. It is easiest to complete the surround setup using the full-OSD on-screen menus. From the MASTER MENU (Figure 1), press the �/¤ Buttons mp until the � cursor is next to the SURROUND SELECT menu. Press the Set Button o until the SURROUND SELECT menu (Figure 4) is on the screen.

Each of the option lines on this menu (Figure 4) selects the surround mode category, and within each of those categories there will be a choice of the specific mode options. Note that the choice of modes will vary according to the speaker configuration in your system. When the CH CONFIG line is set to 5.1 in the SPEAKER SETUP menu (Figure 3) you will see only the modes appropriate to a 5.1-
