Installation & Configuration

8

If you wish to use an external amplifier
for the front channel speakers follow the
diagram on the inside front cover.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When connecting
the AVR11 to a powered subwoofer be
certain to connect BOTH the left and
right subwoofer outputs on the AVR11 for
proper low frequency imaging. If more
than one subwoofer is used connect both
outputs to each subwoofer speaker.

SURROUND MODE SELECTION

Surround sound processing enables four
separate audio signals to be transmitted
within the left and right channels. When
a videocassette or video disc movie,
television broadcast, CD or radio
programme is advertised with the Dolby
Surround

™

, DTS Stereo

™

or UltraStereo

™

logos or other indications that the
programme has surround information
you should select one of the AVR11’s
surround modes. This creates an
enveloping sound field that places you in
the center of the action. Clearer dialog,
richer music and stunning ambiance
effects turn your home into a movie
theater or symphony hall with lifelike,
multi-directional sound.

When listening to a programme that has
surround information and you have rear
channel speakers installed, press the

Selection button

on the front panel 

4

until you see

PROLOGIC

indicator illuminated in the

front panel information window or
directly press the  button 

on the remote.

If no rear channel speakers are in use,
press the 

Selec-

tion button until you see the 

DOLBY3

STEREO

indicator illuminated or the

direct key 

on the remote.

When listening to conventional stereo
recordings you may wish to experiment
with the use of the surround system, as
an enjoyable soundfield may often be
reproduced.

Press the 

button on the front

panel 

3

or the button 

on the remote for conventional

stereo reproduction using only the left
and right speakers and the subwoofer.

CENTER CHANNEL 
MODE SELECTION

When Dolby ProLogic or Dolby 3 Stereo
are in use the AVR11 permits you to tailor
the center channel output to match the
type of speakers used in your home
theater. Press the 

CENTER MODE k

button on the remote to select one of the
following. The center channel mode is
shown by indicators in the front panel
display window.

Normal Mode: Select this mode if your
center channel is small and has limited
bass response. Most specialized center
channel speakers fall into this category.

Wideband Mode: Select this mode if
your center channel speaker is a
traditional full range loudspeaker.
