Hi All,
The nice Mr Smurphin of this parish has loaned me the 565 he loaned from Audio T to have a listen to.
I've reset it and gone through all the setups and configs and for movies its great, but I'm a little bit stumped by the differences in the sound modes.
Basically what is the difference between:-
Direct & Stereo?
I *thought* that stereo used the sub as well as the main front speakers? But its not.
Now I've got a typical 5.1 speaker setup, which is Layout A right? So I can choose either type 1 or type 2 at the initial setup (I chose type 1)
What I want : Main fronts large, centre small, sides none, rears small, sub to use the LFE and also the < 80Hz signals from all the other 5 channels.
Now looking at the speaker table on page 24 of the installation manual, Layouts B, H, N, A and J are close, but nothing exactly matches. I've actually chosen H but the sub only works with the LFE and doesn't work in stereo mode.
Would I be right in guessing that "Centre" in the sub column indicates the sub gets the LFE channel AND the LFE effects from the CENTRE speaker? Which to my mind is really wierd! And what does a "Mono" sub mean? Which channels does it tahe the bass from?
Should I select Layout A (which says "sub : Mono") and then tweek the main speakers to "Large" later on, turn the Sides off and set the rears to Small?
Its gonna take me a week to set this thing up!
Help!
