SPEAKER CONFIGURATION Every surround-sound system requires bass-management to direct low- frequency content from any or all channels to the speakers best able to reproduce it. For this function to operate correctly, it is important that you correctly identify your speakers capabilities. We use the terms Small and Large (and Off ) but note that physical size may be irrelevant. - A Small speaker is any model, regardless of physical size, that lacks significant deep-bass response, that is, below about 150 Hz. - A Large speaker is any full-range model; that is, one with deep-bass response - An None speaker is one that is not present in your system. For example, you might not have any surround-back speakers installed; in that case, you would set the Back setup item to None. The Speaker Configuration is global; that is, it remains in force with all inputs and in all listening modes. However, speaker settings are part of the T 748s A/V Preset system. Consequently, multiple speaker settings can be stored for easy recall as different types of recordings or listening modes require. Speaker Configuration can be managed and adjusted by pressing a combination of [ S ] and then [ D/F ] keys. Set Front, Center, Surround and Back to Large, Small (Small 60Hz up to Small 150Hz) or None as your subsystems speakers require. Set Subwoofer to On or Off, selecting On only if you have a subwoofer connected to the T 748s SUBW output jack. If the Subwoofer is set to Off , Front speaker will automatically be set to Large. ENHANCED BASS When the subwoofer is set to On and Front is set to Large, Enhanced Bass becomes available. Normally, with speakers set to Large the subwoofer is not active. The Enhanced Bass option allows full range operation of the speakers with the additional bass contribution of the subwoofer. This feature is particularly useful when one wants to experience maximum bass output. Please note that due to acoustic cancellation effects, the bass response may be uneven when using this setting You can set Subwoofer to On even with Large front speakers, in which case bass content from any channels set to Small will be routed to both the subwoofer and to the front speakers; LFE-channel signal will pass only to the sub. In most subwoofer-equipped systems, setting front speakers to Small is usually the better option. All the speakers low frequency content can be directly adjusted within the range 60Hz to 150Hz. NOTE The configurations set forth at Speaker Setup are carried over whenever it is enabled during A/V Presets setting. Please see also the section AV Presets Setup for reference. SPEAKER LEVELS Adjusting the relative balance of your systems loudspeakers ensures that surround-sound recordings, whether music or film, will present the balance of effects, music, and dialog that the artists intended. Additionally, if your system incorporates a subwoofer, it establishes a correct relationship between the volume of the subwoofer and the other speakers, and thus of low-frequencies (bass) to other sonic elements. USING AN SPL METER It is quite practical to perform the T 748 level setup routines by ear, and careful work will produce acceptably accurate results. However, the use of an inexpensive sound-pressure level (SPL) meter, such as Radio Shack part number 33-2050, makes this task easier, more accurate and more repeatable. Ownership of such a meter could prove a valuable audio tool. The SPL meter should be placed at the primary listening position, at approximately the height of the seated listeners head. A tripod is helpful but with a little duct tape almost anything - a pole lamp, music-stand, or ladder-backed chair, for example - can do as well. Just be sure that no large acoustically reflective surfaces obstruct or are near the microphone element. Orient the meter with its microphone (usually at one end) pointing straight up toward the ceiling (not toward the speakers) and ensure that C weighting scale is selected. Set the meter to display 75 dB SPL. On Radio Shack meters, this necessitates either setting the meter to its 80 dB range and taking your readings at the -5 point or selecting the 70 dB range and reading at the +5 point. SETTING SPEAKER LEVELS AT TEST MODE While at Speaker Levels menu, press the AVR 4 remotes [ TEST ] key activating the T 748s Speaker Levels balancing test signal. You will hear a surf sound as the test mode cycles through the speakers (test appears to the right side of the current speaker), beginning with the Front Left. If you do not hear the test signal, check your speaker connections or your Speaker Configuration OSD menu settings. Use the remotes [ D/F ] keys to adjust the loudness of the noise output from the currently playing channel to the required level (its usually simplest to begin with the Front Left). As the test signal cycles around the speakers, the OSD will highlight the currently playing channel. The level offset reading on the right will change by 1 dB increments; ±12 dB adjustment is available. Press [ENTER] to adjust the next speaker or for the Test mode to continue on with the other speakers in sequence. NOTE If you are balancing levels by ear, choose one speaker - usually the center - as a reference and adjust each of the others in turn to sound as loud as the reference. Be sure that you remain in the primary listening position while balancing all channels.
