The AVR 225 has been custom-designed to provide all the excitement and detail of movie soundtracks and every nuance of musical selections. [. . . ] Press the front-panel < / > Selector Buttons 5 or the //¤ Buttons mq on the remote until the desired setting is shown, using the instructions for "large" or "small" described earlier. If the configuration for another speaker position needs to be changed, press the front-panel < / > Selector Buttons 5 or the //¤ Buttons mq on the remote to select a different speaker position, and then press the front-panel < / > Selector Buttons 5 or the //¤ Buttons mq on the remote until the correct speaker setting is shown. To assist in making speaker configuration settings, the icons in the Speaker/Channel Input Indicators L change as the speaker type is selected at each position. When only the center icon box containing the abbreviation for the speaker position is lit, the speaker is set for "small. When the inner box and the two outer " boxes with circles inside them are lit, the speaker is set for "large. When no indicator appears at a speaker " location, that position is set for "none" or "no" speaker. NOTE: These icons are available only when making setup changes in the Semi-OSD mode. For example, in Figure 6, the left-front and right-front speakers are set for "large, " the center, left-surround (SL) and right-surround (SR) speakers are set for "small, " and a subwoofer is set, as shown by the box with the abbreviation "LFE", which stands for "lowfrequency effects. " L SL Figure 6 C NIGHT R LFE SR 20 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION SYSTEM CONFIGURATION Configuring the Surround Off (Stereo) Modes For superior reproduction of two-channel program materials, the AVR 225 offers two Stereo modes: an analog Stereo-Direct mode that bypasses the digital signal-processing circuitry for a completely analog signal path that preserves the purity of the original signal, and a digital mode that is capable of providing bass management for optimal distribution of the low frequencies between smaller speakers and a subwoofer. Stereo-Direct (Bypass) Mode When the analog Stereo-Direct mode is selected, either from the SURROUND SETUP menu (Figure 3) as described on page 18, or by pressing the Surround Mode Selector 7j until SURROUND OFF ­ STEREO appears in the Main Information Display S and the Surround Mode Indicator ~ for Surround Off is lit, the AVR 225 will pass the analog source material through to the front left and right speakers, bypassing the digital processing circuitry. In this mode, the front left and right speakers will automatically be configured as LARGE, and it will not be possible to configure these speakers as SMALL. You may configure the subwoofer as ON or OFF either by using the SPEAKER SETUP menu (Figure 5) as described on page 20, or by pressing the Speaker Select Button i 32 until S-W SPEAKER appears in the Main Information Display S. Press the //¤ Buttons mq or the Selector Buttons 5 to select the desired option, and the Set Button Ôo to enter the selection. Stereo-Digital Mode If your front left and right speakers are not capable of handling a full-range input, you may prefer to take advantage of the AVR 225's bass management capability. Select Stereo-Digital mode in the SURROUND SETUP menu (Figure 3) as described on page 18, or press the Surround Mode Selector 7 j until SURROUND OFF ­ A/D MODE appears in the Main Information Display S and the Surround Mode Indicator ~ for Surround Off is lit. In this mode, the analog input will be converted to digital and routed to the digital signal processor for bass management processing before it is converted back to analog and outputted to the front left and right speakers. To configure your front left and right speakers in this mode, follow the procedure described on page 19 for configuring the Left and Right speakers using the SPEAKER SETUP menu (Figure 5), or press the Speaker Select Button i 32 until FNT SPKR appears in the Main Information Display S, and then press the Set Button Ôo. Press the //¤ Buttons mq or the Selector Buttons 5 until either LARGE or SMALL appears, matching the type of speakers you have at the front-left and -right positions, as described on page 20. When SMALL is selected, low-frequency sounds will be sent to the subwoofer output only, and the subwoofer speaker will automatically be configured as ON. If you choose the SMALL configuration and there is no subwoofer connected, you will not hear any low-frequency sounds. When LARGE is selected, a full-range output will be sent to the front-left and front-right speakers, and NO low-frequency signals will be sent to the subwoofer output. If you have not done so previously, place the AVR 225 in Dolby Pro Logic II ­ Movie mode by using the SURROUND SETUP menu (Figure 3) as described on page 18.
