4-9. Theater-Dimensional

These settings apply to the Theater-Dimensional listen- ing mode.

a. Listening Angle

With this setting, you can specify the angle of the front left and right speakers relative to the listening position. Processing for the Theater-Dimensional listening mode is based on this setting. Ideally, the front left and right speakers should be equidistant from the listening posi- tion and at an angle close to one of the two available set- tings.

20/40˚

Assigning Listening Modes to Input Sources

You can assign a default listening mode to each input source that will be selected automatically when you select each input source. For example, you can set the default listening mode to be used with Dolby Digital input signals. You can select other listening modes dur- ing playback, but the mode specified here will be resumed once the AV receiver has been set to Standby.

The main menu appears onscreen.

20º: Select if the listening angle is 20 degrees.

40º: Select if the listening angle is 40 degrees (default).

b. Center

With this setting, you can specify whether or not you’re using a center speaker. If you are, the center channel sound will be output by the center speaker when using the Theater-Dimensional listening mode. This reduces the workload of the front left and right speakers, and cre- ates a more articulate sound space. In this case, the set- tings for the distance between the listening position and each speaker, and the level of each speaker are impor- tant, but making these settings is a breeze with the Auto- matic Speaker Setup function (see page 39).

On: Select if using a center speaker.
