Changing the Speaker Settings Manually
If you wish to make changes to the settings found during
the automatic speaker setup, follow the directions on
pages 67–71.
Using a Powered Subwoofer
If you’re using a powered subwoofer, as it outputs very
low-frequency sound and its position is usually low down,
it may not be detected by the automatic speaker setup. In
this case, increase the subwoofer’s volume, select its
highest crossover frequency, and then try running the
automatic speaker setup again. Note that if the volume is
set too high and the sound distorts, it may not be detected,
so use an appropriate volume level. If the subwoofer has
a low-pass filter switch, set it to Off or Direct. Refer to
your subwoofer’s instruction manual for details.
If the impedance of any speaker is 4 ohms or more but
less than 6, set the Speaker Impedance to 4 ohms.
North American models do not support speakers
with an impedance of less than 6 ohms.
To use bi-amping, you must change the Speaker Type
setting. For hookup information, see page 17.
Notes:
• When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver is able to
drive up to 5.1 speakers in the main room.
• Before you change these settings, turn down the vol-
ume.
For TX-SR506
Note:
• This procedure can also be performed on the AV
receiver by using its [SETUP], [ENTER], and arrow
buttons.
