Notes on Setting Crossover Frequencies

You may ﬁnd the following suggestions helpful in setting good crossover points

for your speakers.



If you hear distortion from a particular speaker during passages where the bass

is loud, that speaker’s crossover is probably set too low. Increase the crossover

frequency until the distortion disappears.



A medium-sized tower speaker usually works well with a 40 or 60Hz crossover

point.



A standard-sized home theater “LCR-type” speaker works well with an 80 or

100Hz crossover point.



Slim, on-wall speakers designed to go with ﬂat-screen (LCD and plasma) TVs

tend to work well with a 100 or 120Hz crossover point.



Miniature satellite speakers, ones measuring 4 to 7" high, often have a crossover

point of 120 or 150Hz.

Surround Setting Conﬁgurations

The items on the Surround Conﬁguration menu enable you to adjust the

parameter settings available for some of the Model 1070’s surround modes. In

many cases the factory defaults are a good starting point, and you may wish

to skip this menu during the initial conﬁguration of a new Model 1070 and

return to them later.

To enter Surround Conﬁguration settings:

1. Press the MENU button on the front panel or the remote to display

the Main Menu.

The Main Menu appears on-screen:

MAIN MENU

> INPUT CONFIG

SPEAKER SIZE

SPEAKER X-OVER

SURROUND CONFIG

CHANNEL CALIBRATION

DELAY ADJUST

SYSTEM CONFIG

EXIT

2. Move the cursor to SURROUND CONFIG by using the and

buttons on the front panel or remote.

3. With the cursor pointing to SURROUND CONFIG, press SET on the

front panel or the remote.

The Surround Conﬁguration sub-menu appears:

SURROUND CONFIG

> NIGHT MODE :OFF

PANORAMA :ON

CENTER wIDTH :STEP 3

DIMENSION :STEP 0

HP MODE :STEREO

2CH SUB OFFSET : 0dB

RETURN TO MAIN MENU

Night Mode

Night Mode controls the use of dynamic range compression that reduces the

intensity of loud sounds and raises the level of very soft sounds, for example,

when watching a movie with some whispered dialog followed immediately by

a loud explosion. This circuit works only with Dolby Digital sources, playing

signals received through a digital input. This circuitry is useful when listening

to movies with lowered overall volume without reducing the relative intensity

of loud sounds in relation to those with lower level.

To activate Night Mode:

1. From the SURROUND CONFIG menu, press or to move the

cursor to NIGHT MODE.

Press the and buttons on the front panel or remote to toggle

between ON and OFF.

Select

to engage the Night mode.

Select

OFF

to disengage the compressor circuit and experience an audio

signal’s full dynamic range.

Panorama

Panorama extends the front stereo image to the surround channels, creating a more

enveloping, wraparound effect. Panorama is a non-adjustable, on/off feature.

To activate Panorama mode:

1. From the SURROUND CONFIG menu, press or to move the

cursor to

PANORAMA.

Press the and buttons on the front panel or remote to toggle

between ON and OFF.

Select

to engage the Panorama circuitry.

Select

OFF

to disengage the Panorama circuitry.

Center Width

Center Width blends sound from the center channel into the left and right

channels to create a more seamless front soundstage. Experiment to see which

setting sounds best to you. The default setting of STEP 3 is a good starting point

for many systems and types of material.

To adjust Center Width:

1. From the SURROUND CONFIG menu, press or to move the

cursor to

CENTER WIDTH.

Press

and buttons

to adjust CENTER WIDTH anywhere from

STEP 0 to STEP 7.

Step 0

provides no blending from center to left and right front speakers

at all.

Steps 1

and

feed a small amount of the center channel feed into the

left and right front speakers.

Step 3

is the factory default,

Steps 4

and

begin to widen the front sound stage by feeding

increasing amounts of the center channel into the left and right front

speakers.

Step 7

shuts off the center channel speaker entirely. At this setting the

left and right front speakers create a “phantom” center channel.
