ONKYO TX-SR501E Manual Do Utilizador

This chapter describes how to configure speaker set A to 
achieve the best results from your surround sound system.

There is no speaker configuration for speaker set B.

• Before configuring, you must:

—Disconnect any headphones (see page 33)

—Turn off speaker set B (see page 32)

—Make sure that Multich is off (see page 29)

• The TX-SR501/TX-SR501E stores each setting, so you 

only need to configure your speakers once.

To achieve the best bass performance from your speaker sys-
tem, you need to set the crossover frequency according to the 
size and frequency response of your subwoofer and other 
speakers (front, center, and surround).

If you’re not using a subwoofer, bass sounds are output by the 
other speakers and this setting has no effect.

To get the best from surround sound, it’s important that the 
sound from each speaker reaches the listener at the same 
time. To achieve this, you need to specify the distance from 
the listening position to each speaker.

Notes:
• The Center and Subwoofer distances should be up to 5 ft. 

(1.5 m) more or less than the Front distance. For example, 
if the Front distance is set to 20 ft. (6 m), you should set the 
Center and Subwoofer distances between 15 and 25 ft. (4.5 
and 7.5 m).

• The SurrRight, Surr Left, and Surr Back distances should 

be up to 5 ft. (1.5 m) more or 15 ft. (4.5 m) less than the 
Front distance. For example, if the Front distance is set to 
20 ft. (6 m), you should set the SurrRight, Surr Left, and 
Surr Back distances between 5 and 25 ft. (1.5 and 7.5 m).

The current crossover frequency is dis-
played.

You can select: 60 Hz, 80 Hz, 100 Hz, 
120 Hz, or 150 Hz.

The following table lists the crossover fre-
quency you should choose depending on 
the diameter of your front speakers.

Larger than 8 inch 
(20 cm)

60 Hz

6-1/2–8 inch 
(16–20 cm)

80 Hz

5-1/4–6-1/2 inch 
(13–16 cm)

100 Hz (default)

3-1/2–5-1/4 inch 
(9–13 cm)

120 Hz

Less than 3-1/2 inch 
(9 cm)

150 Hz

For a more accurate setting, look up the 
frequency response in the manuals sup-
plied with your speakers and set accord-
ingly. In addition, listen to some music 
that you know well and choose a higher 
crossover frequency if you think there’s 
not enough sound coming from the sub-
woofer; a lower setting if you think there’s 
too much.

You can specify speaker distances of 
between 1 and 30 ft. in 1 ft. steps (0.3 and 
9 meters in 0.3 meter steps).

Use the [DISPLAY] button to select 
meters or feet.
