The AUDIO CONFIGURATION menu configures the amplifier and preamplifier
RCA outputs. The screen provides options from 5.1 to 7.1.4 with multiple
internal and external amplifier options. After selecting the desired configuration
the speaker outputs and preamplifier RCA output audio signals connections
are displayed for up to 12 channels.
NOTE: Some outputs are only available via the preamplifier RCA
outputs and require an external amplifier.
Configuring Speakers and Audio
This section of the setup process covers items concerning audio reproduction
such as the number of speakers, bass management including subwoofer
crossovers, establishing equal output levels for all channels, delay settings,
and parametric EQ.
Understanding Speaker Configuration
Home theater systems vary in the number of speakers and the bass capabilities
of those speakers. This processor offers surround modes tailored to systems
with various numbers of speakers and bass management features which send
bass information to the speaker(s) best able to handle it – subwoofers and/
or large speakers. For optimum performance, you must tell the processor
the number of speakers in your system and how bass should be distributed
among them.
The following configuration instructions refer to LARGE and SMALL speakers,
referring more to their desired bass configuration than their physical size.
Specifically, use the LARGE setting for speakers that you want to play deep
bass signals. Use the SMALL designation for speakers that would benefit
from having their bass sent to more capable speakers. The bass management
system redirects bass information away from all SMALL speakers and sends
it to the LARGE speakers and/or the SUBWOOFER. It may be useful to think
of LARGE as "full-range" and SMALL as "high-pass filtered."

Five LARGE speakers and subwoofer: This system requires no bass
redirection. All five speakers play the normal bass recorded in their
respective channels. The subwoofer plays the normal channel bass.
Meanwhile the normal bass places higher demands on the capabilities
of the other speakers and the amplifiers driving them.
LARGE front, center, surround speakers, no subwoofer: The normal
•
bass from the front, center, and surround channels is played in its
respective speakers.
•
All SMALL speakers and subwoofer: The normal bass from all channels
is redirected to the subwoofer. The subwoofer handles ALL of the bass
in the system. This configuration provides several benefits: deep bass

is played by the speaker most suited to do so, the main speakers may
play louder with less distortion, and the need for amplifier power is
reduced. This configuration should be used with bookshelf-size or
smaller main speakers. It should also be considered in some cases
with floorstanding front speakers. This configuration is advantageous
when driving the system with moderate power amplifiers.
•
LARGE front speakers, SMALL other 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. 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.

The SPEAKER CONFIGURATION menu is used to configure the RAP-
1580MKII 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 Audio Configuration will
determine which speakers are displayed in the Speaker Configuration 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).
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
FRONT : Large
CENTER : Large
