HTP-071 - Speaker Setup Menu

This receiver allows you to make detailed settings to optimize the surround sound performance. You only need to make these settings once (unless you change the placement of your current speaker system or add new speakers).

Speaker Setting

Use this setting to specify your speaker configuration (size, number of speakers).

1. Use to select ‘SP SETUP’ from the System Setup
   menu, then press ENTER.
2. Use to select ‘SP SET’ from the SP SETUP menu,
   then press ENTER.
3. Use to select the set of speakers that you want to
   set then select a speaker size
   

   Use to select the size (and number) of each of the following speakers:

   • F (Front) –Do not change from SMALL.
   • C (Center) – Select SMALL if you connect a center. If you didn’t connect a center speaker, choose NO (the center channel is sent to the other speakers).
   • S (Surround) – Select SMALL if you connect a surround speakers. If you didn’t connect surround speakers choose NO (the sound of the surround channels is sent to the other speakers).
   • SB (Surround Back) – Select the number of surround back speakers you have (one (X1), two (X2) or none). If you didn’t connect surround back speakers choose NO.
   -If you select one surround back speaker only, make sure that additional amplifier is hooked up to the PRE OUT L (Single) terminal.
   • SW (Subwoofer) – LFE signals and bass frequencies of channels set to SMALL are output from the subwoofer when YES is selected (see notes below). Choose the PLUS setting if you want the subwoofer to output bass sound continuously or you want deeper bass (the bass frequencies that would normally come out the front and center speakers are also routed to the subwoofer). If you did not connect a subwoofer choose NO (the bass frequencies are output from other speakers).

4. When you’re finished, press RETURN. You should return to the Speaker Setup menu.

NOTES:

• If you select SMALL for the front speakers, the subwoofer will automatically be fixed to YES. Also, the center, surround and surround back speakers can’t be set to LARGE (L) if the front speakers are set to SMALL. In this case, all bass frequencies are sent to the subwoofer.
• If the surround speakers are set to NO, the surround back speakers will automatically be set to NO.
• If you have a subwoofer and like lots of bass, it may seem logical to select LARGE for your front speakers and PLUS for the subwoofer. This may not, however, yield the best bass results. Depending on the speaker placement of your room you may actually experience a decrease in the amount of bass due to low frequency cancellations. In this case, try changing the position or direction of speakers. If you can’t get good results, listen to the bass response with it set to PLUS and YES or the front speakers set to LARGE and SMALL alternatively and let your ears judge which sounds best. If you’re having problems, the easiest option is to route all the bass sounds to the subwoofer by selecting SMALL for the front speakers.
• LARGE setting is not use with this system. If each speaker is connected, select the SMALL setting.
• Do not change the crossover frequency from 200 Hz.
