• set configuration: informs the system whether or not the speakers
need its internal crossover networks
• set distance: to time align the speakers, correcting for their various
distances from the listening position (so sounds that are supposed
to reach the listener at the same time actually do)
• set levels: to adjust the loudness of the speakers relative to each
other to correct for differences in sensitivity, placement, etc.
•
bass level manager: provides a convenient way to limit the
amount of deep bass that might otherwise be sent to your speak-
ers at high volumes (discrete digital soundtracks can sometimes be
quite extreme in their deep bass requirements)
set configuration This is where you tell the system which of your speakers can reproduce deep
bass. Any low frequencies that are removed from a given channel will be divided
between the speakers that can reproduce deep bass (subwoofers, plus speakers
designated as “full range.” When you enter the set configuration menu, you will
be presented with a screen that looks something like this:
set configuration menu
SET CONFIGURATION
➔ FRONT L&R: FULL RNG
CENTER: FULL RNG
REAR L&R: FULL RNG
SUBS: ONE
SET ALL FOR THX
The other options are 80 Hz and in the case of the center and subwoofer chan-
nels, none (meaning there is no such speaker connected to the system).
If you have an eight-channel system and have configured one of
your auxiliary channels as a subwoofer channel, the subs: options
expand to include: summed (both subs play the same signal), L&R
(left and right), F&R (front and rear).
special tip: If you have THX-certified speakers all around, a shortcut for
setting the configuration to the THX standard is provided.
Simply move your cursor to the bottom line and press enter.
This will set the menus for all the appropriate crossover
settings at one touch.
If you do not have THX speakers, set an appropriate low frequency cutoff for
each channel, and define how many distinct subwoofer channels you have in the
PAV/PDSD system. (Note that multiple subwoofers reproducing the same channel
are still considered one subwoofer channel.)
