Selecting the main or sub channel

—DUAL MONO

You can select the playback sound (channel) you want while playing digital software recorded (or broadcasted) in Dual Mono mode (see page 28), which includes two monaural channels separately. When the receiver detects Dual Mono signals, the DUAL MONO indicator lights up on the display.

DMONO <MAIN> Select to play back the main channel (Ch 1).* Signal indicator “L” lights up while playing back this channel.

DMONO <SUB> Select to play back the sub-channel (Ch 2).* Signal indicator “R” lights up while playing back this channel.

DMONO <ALL> Select to play back both the main and sub- channels (Ch 1/Ch 2).*

Signal indicators “L” and “R” light up while playing back these channels.

Initial setting: D MONO <MAIN>

*Dual Mono signals can be heard from the following speakers—L (left front speaker), R (right front speaker), and C (center speaker), with respect to the current Surround setting:

	Without			With Surround Activated
Dual Mono				Center speaker setting
	Surround
setting				SML/LRG		NO
	L	R	L	C	R	L		R
MAIN	Ch 1	Ch 1		Ch 1		Ch 1		Ch1
SUB	Ch 2	Ch 2		Ch 2		Ch 2		Ch 2
ALL	Ch 1	Ch 2		Ch 1+Ch 2		Ch 1+Ch 2	Ch 1+Ch 2

NOTE

The Dual Mono format is not identical with bilingual broadcasting for TV programs. So this setting does not take effect while watching such bilingual programs.

Setting bass sound

Setting subwoofer output—SUBWOOFER OUT

The subwoofer emits the LFE signals* and the bass elements of each speaker set to “SML.”

You can make the bass elements of the front speaker channels (MAIN) emitted through the subwoofer.

SW <LFE>	Select to emit the LFE signals and the bass
	elements of each speaker set to “SML.”

SW <LFE+MAIN> Select to emit the bass elements of the front speakers’ channels (MAIN) when no bass elements are emitted through the subwoofer in “SW <LFE>.”

Initial setting: SW <LFE>

NOTE

• When “SUBWOOFER” is set to “SUBWFR 17), this function is not available.

*The LFE signals are emitted only when playing the following software with the LFE signals:

–Dolby Digital multi channel software

–DTS multi channel software

When playing analog source or linear PCM software, no LFE signals are emitted.

Setting the crossover frequency—CROSSOVER

Small speakers cannot reproduce the bass sounds efficiently. If you use a small speaker in any position, this receiver automatically reallocates the bass sound elements assigned to the small speaker to the large speakers.

To use this function properly, set this crossover frequency level according to the size of the small speaker connected.

•If you have selected “LRG (large)” for all speakers (see page 17), this function will not take effect (“CROSS OFF” appears).

CROSS <80Hz> Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 12 cm (4 3/4 inches).

CROSS <100Hz> Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 10 cm (3 15/16 inches).

CROSS <120Hz> Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 8 cm (3 3/16 inches).

CROSS <150Hz> Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 6 cm (2 3/8 inches).

CROSS <200Hz> Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is less than 5 cm (2 inches).

Initial setting: CROSS <100Hz>

NOTE

Crossover frequency is not valid for the HEADPHONE and 3D HEADPHONE modes.

Setting the low frequency effect attenuator—LFE

ATT

If the bass sound is distorted while playing back software encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS, set the LFE level to eliminate distortion.

• This function takes effect only when the LFE signals come in.

LFE <0dB> Normally select this.

LFE <–10dB>Select when the bass sound is distorted.

Initial setting: LFE <0dB>
