• LARGE front speakers, SMALL center and surround speakers, and a
subwoofer: The normal bass from the SMALL center and surround
speakers is redirected to the LARGE front speakers and the subwoofer.
The LARGE front speakers play their own normal bass plus the redirected
bass from the SMALL speakers. The subwoofer plays the redirected
bass from all of the other channels. This might be an appropriate
configuration with a pair of very capable front speakers driven by a
large power amplifier. A potential disadvantage with mixed LARGE
and SMALL configurations is that the bass response may not be as
consistent from channel to channel as it might be with the all SMALL
configuration.
NOTE: As an alternative configuration with a satellite/subwoofer
package as the front speakers, follow the speaker manufacturer's
instructions, connecting the high-level inputs of the powered subwoofer
directly to the front speaker outputs of your amplifier and connecting
the satellites to the subwoofer's own crossover. In this arrangement,
the speakers would be classified as LARGE and the subwoofer setting
would be OFF for all surround modes. No information is lost during
playback because the system redirects bass information to the front
LARGE speakers. While this configuration ensures proper satellite
speaker operation by using the speaker's own crossovers, it has some
disadvantages in terms of system calibration and would generally not
be the preferred configuration.

The SPEAKER CONFIGURATION menu is used to configure the RSP-1582 for
use with your specific loudspeakers and to determine the bass management
configuration as described in the previous overview. The menu is accessed
from the MAIN menu.
The following speaker options are available:
FRONT SPEAKERS (Small/Large): Use the "Large" setting to have the front
speakers play low bass (full-range). Use the "Small" setting to redirect
normal bass away from these speakers to a subwoofer (high-pass filtered).
CENTER SPEAKER(S) (Large/Small/None): Select the "Large" setting (not
available with SMALL front speakers) to have the center speaker play low
bass (full-range). Select the "Small" setting if your center channel speaker
has limited low frequency capability, or if you prefer that the bass be sent
to the subwoofer (high-pass). Select the "None" setting if your system does
not have a center channel speaker (the surround modes will automatically
divide all center channel information equally between the two front speakers,
creating a phantom center channel).
FRONT : Large
CENTER : Small

SURROUND SPEAKERS (Large/Small/None): Select the "Large" setting (not
available with SMALL front speakers) to have the surround speakers play
low bass (full-range). If your rear speakers have limited bass capability
or if you would prefer that the bass go to a subwoofer, select the "Small"
setting (high-pass). If your system has no rear surround speakers, select the
"None" setting (surround channels are added to the front speakers so none
of the recording is lost).
SUBWOOFER (Yes/Max/No): The "Yes" setting is the standard setting if your
system has a subwoofer. If your system does not have a subwoofer, select
"No". Select the "Max" setting for maximum bass output with normal bass
being duplicated by both the subwoofer and any LARGE speaker in the system.
C-BACK OR F-HEIGHT: The RSP-1582 can connect center back speakers
or front height speakers. Use this option to select Center Back speakers or
Front Vertical Height speakers in your system.
CENTER BACK (1Large/1Small/2Large/2Small/None): Some systems have
one or two additional center back surround speakers. Select the "Large"
setting (not available with SMALL front and surround speakers) to have
your center back speaker(s) play low bass. Use "1Large" if you have one
center back speaker (6.1) or "2Large" (7.1) if you have two center back
speakers (7.1). If your center back speakers have limited bass capability or
if you would prefer that the bass go to a subwoofer, use the "Small" setting
("1Small" for one speaker, "2Small" for two speakers). If your system has no
center back speakers, select the "None" setting. With center back speakers,
Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES, Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS Neo:6 or other decoders
will provide center back signals for any surround mode.
FRONT HEIGHT (Large/Small/None): This setting will be available if the
unit is set to F-HEIGHT speakers in a Pro Logic IIz setup. Select the "Large"
setting (not available with SMALL front and surround speakers ) to have
your vertical height speakers play low bass. If you would prefer that the
bass go to a subwoofer, use the "Small" setting.
ADVANCED: Speaker configuration is generally a global setting for all surround
modes and need only be done once. However, for special circumstances,
the processor provides the option of setting the speaker configuration
independently for each surround mode. Select the ADVANCED SETUP line
on the menu and press ENTER to go to the ADVANCED SPEAKER SETUP
menu described in the following section.
To change a setting on the SPEAKER CONFIGURATION menu, place the
highlight on the desired line using the Up/Down arrow buttons and use the
Left/Right arrow buttons to toggle through the available settings. To return to
the MAIN menu, select "BACK" on the OSD and press the ENTER button,
or press the BACK button. Press the SETUP/MENU button, or select "EXIT"
on the OSD to exit setup and return to normal operation.
