With this setting, you can specify the cutoff frequency of the LFE channel’s low-pass filter (LPF), which can be used to filter out unwanted hum. The LPF only applies to sources that use the LFE channel.

Note

• If you’re using THX-certified speakers, select “80Hz”.

■Double Bass

With the Double Bass function, you can boost bass out- put by feeding bass sounds from the front left, right, and center channels to the subwoofer.

`On:

Double Bass function on.

`Off:

Double Bass function off.

Note

•This function can be set only if the “Subwoofer” setting is set to “Yes”, and the “Front” setting is set to “Full Band”.

•If you’re using THX-certified speakers, select “Off”.

Speaker Distance

This setting is set automatically by Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup function (➔ 25).

Here you can specify the distance from each speaker to the listening position so that the sound from each speaker arrives at the listener’s ears as the sound designer intended.

■Unit

Distances can be set in feet. Range: 1ft to 30ft in 1 foot steps.

`meters:

Distances can be set in meters. Range: 0.3m to 9.0m in 0.3 meter steps.

■Left, Front Wide Left, Front High Left, Center, Front High Right, Front Wide Right, Right, Surr Right, Surr Back Right, Surr Back Left, Surr Left, Subwoofer

`Specify the distance from the each speaker to your lis- tening position.

Note

•Speakers that you set to “No” or “None” in the Speaker Config- uration cannot be selected (➔ 41).

Level Calibration

This setting is set automatically by Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup function (➔ 25).

Here you can adjust the level of each speaker with the built-in test tone so that the volume of each speaker is the same at the listening position.

■Left, Front Wide Left, Front High Left, Center*1,

Front High Right, Front Wide Right, Right, Surr Right, Surr Back Right, Surr Back Left, Surr Left

`–12dBto 0dB to +12dB in 1 dB step.

■Subwoofer*1

`–15dBto 0dB to +12dB in 1 dB step.

Note

•Speakers that you set to “No” or “None” in the “Speaker Configuration” cannot be selected (➔ 41).

•The speakers cannot be calibrated while the AV receiver is muted.

•The test tone is output at the standard level for THX, which is

0 dB (absolute volume setting 82). If you normally listen at vol- ume settings below this, be careful because the test tone will be much louder.

*1 For the center speaker and subwoofer, the level settings made by using the Home menu are saved (➔ 24).

Tip

•If you’re using a handheld sound level meter, adjust the level of each speaker so that it reads 75 dB SPL at the listening position, measured with C-weighting and slow reading.

Equalizer Settings

This setting is set automatically by Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup function (➔ 25).

With the Equalizer settings, you can adjust the tone of speakers individually with a 5-band equalizer. The volume of each speaker can be set (➔ 42).

■Equalizer

You can adjust the equalizer for each speaker manu- ally. If you selected “Manual”, continue with this procedure.

1 Press wto select “Channel”, and then use e/

rto select a speaker.

2 Use q/wto select a frequency, and then use the e/rto adjust the level at that frequency.

The volume at each frequency can be adjusted from –6dBto 0dB to +6dB in 1 dB steps.

Tip

•Low frequencies (e.g., 63Hz) affect bass sounds; high frequencies (e.g., 16000Hz) affect treble sounds.

3 Use qto select “Channel”, and then use e/r to select another speaker.

Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each speaker.
