[. . . ] Select Speaker System Type You may skip this step if you are using a Cambridge SoundWorks 5. 1 MegaTheater system package with a new AVS500. If you are not using a system powered by a Cambridge SoundWorks BassCube 851 or equivalent, you may need to change some settings. Refer to your speaker or amplifier documentation to determine the proper settings for that system. To make changes to your speaker configuration, select SPEAKER from the Main Page. Select PROGRESSIVE if you have a High Definition or Enhanced Definition TV and are using a Component video connection. Use the < button to return to the MAIN PAGE. 20 · If you are using a 2-channel, or 2. 1 system, select DOWNMIX, and choose the STEREO or VSS settings to your preference. VSS is a Virtual Surround Sound processor which simulates a surround sound effect from two main speakers. · If you are not using a BassCube 851 or equivalent that provides its own Bass Management, select SUB WOOFER and ON. · If you do not have a center channel speaker, select CENTER and OFF. · If your center speaker is closer to you than your main (left and right) speakers, select CENTER DISTANCE and select the closest measurement that equates to how much closer the center speaker is than the main ones. · If your surround speakers are much closer to the listening position than your main speakers, choose REAR DISTANCE then select the closest dimension to the average difference between the listening position and the surround speakers. For example, if your rear speakers are 6 ft from the listening position and the front speakers are 9 ft, choose 3 ft as your rear distance setting. 1. Determine if all channels play at an equal volume when you are seated in the primary listening position. The Number keys on the remote correspond to the pictures on the speaker diagram shown on the screen. 1 ­ Left Front 2 ­ Center 3 ­ Right Front 4 ­ Subwoofer 7 ­ Left surround 9 ­ Right Surround. Select the number of the speaker that requires adjustment, and use the VOL+ and VOL ­ keys to adjust the volume to the same level as the L and R main speakers. The channel being adjusted will hold for 5-seconds to give you time to decide if further adjustment is necessary. After 5 seconds, you may choose another channel and repeat the process. Press the SETUP button to exit and return to normal operation. Balance Channel Levels For precise surround imaging, all 5 speakers in a 5. 1 system should play at equal volume levels. Even if all 5 high-range speakers are identical, some may be further away from the listening position than others, or be influenced by their surroundings. This difference will alter the level you hear from each speaker at the listening position. You can adjust channel balance by ear, or you may use an inexpensive SPL meter such as Radio Shack #330-2050 for more precise adjustment. 21 OPERATION AND USE Playing DVD, VCD, SVCD, CD, JPEG Photo Disc or MP3 Music Files: Press the DVD key on the remote control.
