Front L/R
Select LARGE for full-range front speakers to deliver full frequency
response to the front left and right outputs. Selecting SMALL activates
a 12dB per octave highpass filter and automatically routes low fre-
quency information to the subwoofer output. Choices of 40, 80 and
120 Hz are available for the -3dB point. The SMALL setting is recom-
mended unless your speakers are capable of handling full audio
signals, or are equipped...

Center
Systems that utilize a full-range center speaker should select LARGE to
direct center information to the center output with a full frequency
response. Select SMALL for installations where the center speaker is
smaller than the left and right front speakers. This will automatically
engage the Bass Split feature, which takes the low frequency content
from the center and distributes it to the left and right front speakers,
reducing the risk of damage to a small...

The  EXTERNAL NOISE TEST loads the Pro Logic, 5.1 Dolby or DTS
Music effect and uses the signal from the currently selected input for
calibration.
Once a test source is selected, a sub-menu showing each output level
is displayed. Use the ▲ and ▼ buttons to highlight an output for
adjustment.  Press SELECT to stop the cycling of the noise signal, then

The SDP-3 provides a Subwoofer Peak Limiter that prevents the
subwoofer signal level from exceeding a preset value. The limiter is
factory preset to the OFF postion. This setting can be changed within
the limiter’s operating range of -5dB to +35dB, with -5dB providing
maximum limiting.
To turn on the limiter or to change its setting, select the SUB PK
LIMITER parameter in the Output Levels menu.

CAL NOISE is a special digitally generated signal to aid in calibrating the
Speaker Angle and Listener Position parameters. Note that in all cases,
sound will actually be produced by both front loudspeakers. The
adjustments affect the perceived directionality of the sound.
The SPEAKER ANGLE, displayed in degrees, adjusts for wide or
narrow speaker spacing (relative to the listening position). For the two
canceling signals to arrive at both ears at the same time you...
