System Setup

Bass Management

Some older surround sound decoders and receivers offer a choice of "Nor-

mal" or "Wide-band" modes for the center channel speaker. The Model

4200e C is designed to be used in the Normal mode. Additionally, digital

processing multi-channel systems provide a Bass Management menu,which

typically requires you to select between"Small"or"Large"speakers during

system set-up.Since these systems have been designed to work with a dedi-

cated subwoofer,please set all the speakers in System 4200e to Small.

reﬂective (hard) and absorptive (soft) surfaces. The Reverberant position

is designed for rooms with an abundance of reﬂective surfaces like hard-

wood or tile ﬂoors, glass walls, etc. It decreases the high frequency output

of the speaker to reduce excess HF energy that builds up in live rooms.The

THX / NORMAL

Damped position brings the tweeter's output slightly above ﬂat response to

compensate for overly absorbent rooms with lots of soft surfaces. Speak-

ers in overly damped rooms can sound dead and lifeless unless compen-

sated.

which sounds best to you. Experiment. It will be worth it.

Dipole/Bipole Operation of the SR Speakers

BIPOLE

Bipole mode is easily accomplished using a toggle switch conveniently

located under one of the speaker's grilles.Please note that the vast majority

of the time in movies and TV broadcasts the surround speakers are called

upon to reproduce the environmental sounds that are used as cues to help

get you immersed in the scene on the screen. Once the surround speakers

are properly positioned in the listening area,we recommend that you begin

with the dipole mode,as this usually delivers the most involving and believ-

able surround performance in most situations.However,as noted above,feel

free to experiment with both switch positions.
