Acoustical Parameters (cont.) - Active Speakers
The SSD-66 (5.1) can have several different active speaker
setups which are programmed per Input Label. The chart
to the right indicates the modes which permit setup of the
Active Speaker function and also the modes which actu-
ally operate with this funciton. Please note, that in two
modes, you cannot even setup this function. The Active
Speaker parameters include the following:
LF/RF/C/LRS - This setting indicates that all speakers are ac-
tive for a particular Input Label. Commonly, this
Active Speaker configuration is used for both Pro
Logic, AC-3, and all music modes.
LF/RF S-COMP - This speaker configuration will activate only the front right and left channels while
down-mixing the surround channel AC-3 mix to the front right and left channels. When this
format is assigned to an Input Label with a Pro Logic mode, this format will not operate.
CENTER ONLY - This setting indicates that only the center channel speaker is active. This Active
Speaker setting is ideal for Input Labels specifically designed to play only a mono TV
broadcast signal such as a news broadcast.
LF/RF NORMAL - This setting activates only front left and right speakers. This setting can be used for
playback of stereo source material in a stereo bypass mode.
LF/RF/CENTER - This setting activates only the front right, front left, and center channel speakers.
LF/RF/RS/LS - This speaker configuration activates both right and left front and rear channels, leaving
the center channel off. This Active Speaker setting can be used for Input Labels assigned
to music sources and the Quad Bypass mode.
Assuming the bass settings have the subwoofer on, the subwoofer will always be active for
any of the above Active Speaker configurations. To set the Active Speaker configuration:
Step 1 Repeatedly press the INPUT SELECT button until the first Input Label appears, typically
this will read as "LASER AC3 1".
Step 2 Press the MODE button and make certain that you are in a mode other than "3 CH STE-
REO" or "PHANTOM".
Step 3 Repeatedly press the SETUP MODE button until the display reads one of the Active Speaker
configurations.
Step 4 Repeatedly press the VOL UP button until the display reads the desired setup.
Step 5 Press the INPUT SELECT button once to exit the "Setup Mode". Press the INPUT SE-
LECT button again, the SSD-66 (5.1) should advance to the next Input Label.
Step 7 Press the SETUP MODE button once, the SSD-66 (5.1) display should automatically come
up with one of the Active Speaker setups.
Step 8 Repeat Steps 2-7 until all the Input Labels you are using have been set.
