The AVR 510 has been custom-designed to provide all the excitement and detail of movie soundtracks and every nuance of musical selections. [. . . ] · When the front speakers have been set to LARGE, the crossover choices are 40 Hz or 60 Hz to match the typical crossover points of full range speakers. · When the front speakers have been set to SMALL, the crossover choices are 80 Hz or 100 Hz to match the typical crossover points of the smaller speakers used in satellite speaker systems. When all speaker selections have been made, press the ¤ button n and then the Set button p to return to the main menu. The Speaker Configuration may also be changed at any time without using the full-OSD on-screen menu system by pressing the Speaker Select button on the front panel i or remote 32 . Once the button is pressed, FNT SPEAKER will appear in both the lower third of the video display and the Main Information Display Y. Within three seconds, either press the front panel < / > Selector buttons 5 or the //¤ buttons n on the remote to select a different speaker position, or press the Set button Ôp to begin the adjustment process for the front left and right speakers. When the Set button Ôp has been pressed and the system is ready for a change to the speaker setting, the on-screen display and Main Information Display Y will read FNT LARGE or FNT SMALL, depending on the current setting. Press the front panel < / > Selector Buttons 5 or the //¤ buttons n on the remote until the desired setting is shown, using the instructions for "large" or "small" shown earlier. If the configuration for another speaker position needs to be changed, press the front panel < / > Selector buttons 5 or the //¤ buttons n on the remote to select a different speaker position, and then press the front panel < / > Selector buttons 5 or the //¤ buttons n on the remote until the correct speaker setting is shown. Figure 6 To assist in making speaker configuration settings, the icons in the Speaker/Channel Input Indicators Q change as the speaker type is selected at each position. When only the center icon box containing the abbreviation for the speaker position is lit, the speaker is set for "small. When the inner box and the two outer " boxes with circles inside them are lit, the speaker is set for "large. When no indicator " appears at a speaker location, that position is set for "none" or "no" speaker. NOTE: These icons are available only when making setup changes in the semi-OSD mode. As an example, in Figure 6, the left front and right front speakers are set for "large, " the center, left surround (LS) and right surround (RS) speakers are set for small, and a subwoofer is set, as shown by the box with the abbreviation "LFE", which stands for "low-frequency effects. " L C R LS LFE RS Output Level Adjustment Output level adjustment is a key part of the configuration of any surround-sound product. It is particularly important for a digital receiver such as the AVR 510, as correct outputs ensure that you hear sound tracks with the proper directionality and intensity. IMPORTANT NOTE: Listeners are often confused about the operation of the surround channels. While some assume that sound should always be coming from each speaker, most of the time there will be little or no sound in the surround channels. This is because they are only used when a movie director or sound mixer specifically places sound there to create ambience, a special effect or to continue action from the front of the room to the rear. When the output levels are properly set, it is normal for surround speakers to operate only occasionally. Artificially increasing the volume to the rear speakers may destroy the illusion of an enveloping sound field that duplicates the way you hear sound in a movie theater or concert hall. 23 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION System Configuration Before beginning the output level adjustment process, make certain that all speaker connections have been properly made. The system volume should be set to the level that you will use during a typical listening session.
