[. . . ] When LARGE is selected, a full-range output will be sent to the front-left and frontright outputs, and NO low-frequency signals will be sent to the subwoofer output. When you have completed your selection for the front channel, press the Set button t 3 , and then press the </ > buttons 1 r on the remote or the Selector buttons 3 on the front panel to change the dis4 play to CEN SPEAKER. Press the Set button t 3 again, and 1 use the </ > buttons r on the remote, or the Selector buttons 3 on the front 4 panel, to select the option that best describes your system based on the speaker definitions shown in preceding section. When CEN SP SMALL is selected, low-frequency center-channel sounds will be sent to the subwoofer output only. Note that if you choose this option and there is no subwoofer connected, you will not hear any low-frequency sounds from the centerchannel speaker. When CEN SP LARGE is selected, a full-range output will be sent to the centerspeaker output, and NO center channel signal will be sent to the subwoofer output. When CEN SP NONE is selected, no signals will be sent to the center-channel output. The receiver will operate in a "phantom" center-channel mode and center-channel information will be sent to the left- and right-front channel outputs. When you have completed your selection for the center channel, press the Set button t 3 , and then press the 1 </ > buttons r on the remote or the Selector buttons 3 on the front 4 panel to change the display to SUR SPEAKER. Press the Set button t 3 again, and 1 then use the </ > buttons r on the remote or the Selector buttons 3 on the 4 front panel to select the option that best describes your system based on the speaker definitions shown in preceding section. When SUR SP SMALL is selected, low-frequency surround-channel sounds will be sent to the subwoofer output only. Note that if you choose this option and there is no subwoofer connected, you will not hear any low-frequency sounds from the surround speaker. When SUR SP LARGE is selected, a full-range output will be sent to the surround-channel outputs, and NO surround channel signals will be sent to the subwoofer output. When SUR SP NONE is selected, surround-sound information will be split between the front-left and front-right outputs. Note that for optimal performance when no surround speakers are in use, the Dolby 3 Stereo mode should be used instead of Dolby Pro Logic. 4. Turn the AVR 100 on either by pressing the System Power Control 2 on the front panel, or via the remote by pressing a Device Selector a on the remote. The Power Indicator 3 will turn green to confirm that the unit is on, and the Information Display 3 will also light up. 5 Speaker Configuration The first few adjustments tell the AVR 100 which type of speakers are in use. This is important as it adjusts the settings that determine which speakers receive low-frequency (bass) information. For each of these settings use the LARGE setting if the speakers for a particular position are traditional full-range loudspeakers that are capable of reproducing sounds below 100Hz. Use the SMALL setting for smaller, frequency-limited satellite speakers that do not reproduce sounds below 100Hz. Note that when "small" speakers are used, a subwoofer is required to reproduce low-frequency sounds. [. . . ] For example, button number 8 is the FM Mode button for the AVR 100, but it is the "Input Select" button for many VCRs. Reassigning the DVD Button If you do not have a DVD but have a second VCR, the DVD button may be programmed to operate an additional VCR using the following steps: 1. Locate the brand of VCR you wish to program into the remote on the Code charts on pages 30 and 31 and make a note of the codes for that brand. Press the DVD Device Selector a and the Mute button 32 at the same time until the Program/Command Indicator 37 illuminates. Within 20 seconds, point the remote towards the unit to be programmed and enter the three digit code number for the VCR to be programmed using the Numeric Keys o. [. . . ]
