The AVR75 has been custom designed to provide all the excitement and detail of movie soundtracks and every subtle nuance of musical selections. [. . . ] press the < or > buttons i on the remote to select the correct type of center channel speaker as described in #7. When LARGE is highlighted a full-range signal will be sent to the center channel. When SMALL is highlighted the audio to the center channel will be cut at 100Hz and low-frequency information will be routed to the subwoofer output or to the front left/right speakers if no subwoofer is selected. When the selection has been made, press the ¤ button once so that the on-screen cursor > is pointing to the SUBWOOFER line of the display. At the SUBWOOFER line use the < or > buttons i on the remote to highlight ON or OFF. Select ON when an optional external subwoofer is connected to the Subwoofer Preamp Output /. In this position all lowfrequency sounds (below 100Hz) will be routed to the front left/right speakers. Note that the subwoofer cannot be set to O F when the front speakers are set to F SMALL in SETUP MENU 1. When the selection has been made press the ¤ button once so that the on-screen cursor > is pointing to GO TO SETUP MENU 3. At SETUP MENU 3 (see figure #4), various control functions will be set. "LFE" is the Low-Frequency Effects channel that is used when Dolby Digital signals are present. The normal setting for LFE is 0dB, but the control may also be set to -10dB for reduced output when an LFE signal is present. When the LFE level is set, or to bypass this setting, press the ¤ button i on the remote to move to the next setting. NOTE: When the LFE is set to OFF the LFE output is cut, and not sent to any other speaker. This feature reduces the input level for Dolby Digital sources only by 1/3 to 1/4 at their loudest thresholds, preventing unwanted bursts of loud sounds without restricting the dynamic range or volume of other sounds or at less than maximum levels. The feature may be turned OFF by pressing the < or > buttons i on the remote until OFF is highlighted. The Night mode may also be turned on and off at any time by pressing the Night button e on the remote. When the Night mode is set, or to bypass this setting, press the ¤ button i to move to the next setting. The SETUP LOCK prevents any of the major control settings from being changed once it is engaged. This feature is set at the factory to UNLOCK, so that all settings may be adjusted. If you wish to prevent settings from being easily or inadvertently being changed, use the < or > buttons i on the remote until LOCK is highlighted. Once the LOCK setting is engaged and you exit SETUP MENU 3, no changes may be made to any of the Setup menus. [. . . ] In addition, the information that is normally sent to the rear channel surround speakers is carefully mixed in with the front left and right channels for increased realism. Use this mode when you have a center channel speaker, but no surround speakers. Movie Surround processing uses matrix surround decoding, with the option to extend 40 ms ­ 90 ms the delay time to 90 ms. Use this to experiment with surround times above 30 ms, or if Initial Setting = 40 ms the delay time formula suggests a longer time delay for your room. [. . . ]
