The Bass Low Pass Filter (LPF) sets an upper limit

LFE+Main is selected. The options are:
80 Hz / 90 Hz / 100 Hz / 110 Hz / 120 Hz /
150 Hz / 200 Hz / 250 Hz

sent to the Subwoofer. The LPF setting does not
apply to content sent from the LFE channel to the
subwoofers.
Speaker Distances
Setup>Speakers>Distances
In this section, the distances of your speakers from
the main listening position should be entered. This
will aid in perfecting 3D imaging.
For each speaker listed in the pull-down Distances
menu, enter the distance from the main listening
position to the speaker in meters.
To convert feet to meters, multiply the number of
feet by 0.3048.
The value can be accurate up to a tenth of a meter.
The Audyssey program will provide more exacting
information. The information entered here provides
a baseline to compare the Audyssey ndings.
For Dolby Enabled speakers, enter the distance to
the speaker. Do not calculate the angled path that
the reected sound will travel. Audyssey will handle
this.
Test Tones & Levels
Setup>Speakers>Test Tones & Levels
The Test Tones and Levels submenu provides the
ability to manually set relative levels for all speaker
types, and may be used to conrm proper wiring.
This does not need to be set if using Audyssey
calibration.
When Test Tone is set to On, a tone will play
through the Speaker type selected in the Levels
dropdown box. Using a sound meter or your ears,
you can set the relative level from -10dB to +10dB.
The default is 0dB.
Audyssey will automatically set levels and will
over-write offsets set previously. Likewise,
manually setting Test Tones will replace Audyssey
settings.
Network Setup Menu
Setup>Network
The Network Setup menu has four sections:
• Network Information
• Network Control
• Friendly Name
• Network Settings
Network Information displays the IP Address and
the MAC address of the MX100. For instructions on
determining the IP Address using the front panel see
“Determining the IP Address” on page 13.
Network Control has two settings: On or Off. The
default is Off. When Network Control is enabled
(On), a control system such as one using RS232
commands over IP can awaken the MX100 from
a sleep state. When Network Control is off, the
MX100 will enter standby mode when powered off.
The monitoring of network trafc with Network
Control On uses slightly more power when the
MX100 is in sleep mode.
Friendly Name provides a more individual way
of identifying your MX100 on the network with
devices that recognize Friendly Names.
The default Friendly Name of “MX100” can be
changed by selecting an alternative name from the
Preset Name dropdown list. To create your own
name for the MX100, choose “Custom” from the
Preset Name dropdown box and then type the new
name in the Friendly Name box. Custom names can
only be entered from the Browser interface. Preset
names can be chosen using the front panel interface.
Network Settings allows you manually entering
network information. You may do this if you want to
have a static IP Address for the MX100. The default
is for DHCP is On. With DHCP on, all the network
information will be assigned automatically from
your router.
To manually enter Network Settings, select “Off”
for DHCP. This will allow you to enter settings for:
• IP address
• Gateway (typically the IP address of your
router)
• Subnet Mask (Typically 255.255.255.0)
• DNS address (typically the IP address of your
router)
When you have completed making Network
Settings changes, select the “Apply All Settings”
button to save your changes.
