An alternative configuration for setting up front SMALL speakers with a subwoofer is to follow the speaker manufacturer’s instructions, wir- ing the SMALL speakers to the subwoofer’s crossover and then connecting the subwoofer directly to the front speaker connection termi- nals. In this arrangement, the speakers would be classified as LARGE and the subwoofer setting would be OFF for all surround modes. No information will be lost during playback because the system knows to redirect the bass information to the front LARGE speakers. This configuration may improve the way the bass integrates into the listening room and ensure correct satellite speaker operation by using the speaker manufacturer’s own crossovers.
The following speaker options are available:
FRONT SPEAKERS (small/large): This menu setting determines what kind of main front left and right speakers you are using. Use the LARGE setting if your main left and right speak- ers are full range designs with good bass response capability. If you are using minispeak- ers, use the SMALL setting.
CENTER SPEAKER(S) (small/large/
none): Use the LARGE position (not available with SMALL front speakers) if your system’s center channel speaker is capable of
SURROUND SPEAKERS (small/large/
none): If your surround speakers are capable of sustained low frequency output, select the LARGE setting (not available with SMALL front speakers). If your rear speakers have limited bass capability or if you would prefer that the bass go to a subwoofer, use the SMALL set- ting. If your system has no rear surround speak- ers, select the NONE setting (surround infor- mation will be added to the front speakers).
CENTER BACK SPEAKER(S) (small/
large/none): Some systems have one or two additional center back surround speakers for use with 6.1 channel surround signals or 7CH stereo processing. With the
SUBWOOFER (yes/no/max): Use the YES setting if your system has a subwoofer. If your system does not have a subwoofer, select NO. Select the MAX setting to redirect all low fre- quency information from all speakers (includ- ing LARGE speakers) to the subwoofer.
CB SPKR SELECT (1 speaker/2 speak-
ers): Use the 1 SPEAKER setting if your sys- tem has a single center back surround speaker. Use the 2 SPEAKERS setting if your system has 2 center back surround speakers. If your sys- tem does not have any center back speakers, select NONE on the previously described CENTER SPEAKER setting on this menu.
NOTE: Speaker configuration is a global set- ting for all surround modes and need only be done once.

This menu, which is reached from the MAIN menu, allows you to set the delay for individual speakers. This ensures that the sound from each speaker arrives simultaneously at the listening position, even when the speakers are not all placed at equal distances from the listener.
Although personal preference is the ultimate guide, you typically increase the delay to speak- ers located closer to the seating area and de- crease the delay to speakers located farther from the seating area.
Start by measuring the distance from your seating position to each speaker. The speaker farthest away should receive no additional delay. Each of the other speakers will receive one millisecond of delay for each foot (30 cm) closer to you than the farthest speaker. For ex- ample, if the left front speaker is farthest away at 13 feet and the left rear speaker is 8 feet away, you should add 5 milliseconds of de- lay to the left rear speaker. Continue setting delays for each speaker until you have com- pensated for each speaker that is closer to you than the farthest speaker.
The delay times for the surround speakers are set longer for Dolby Pro Logic II mode than in Dolby Digital/DTS mode. When you change delay setting for Dolby Digital/DTS, the de- lay time for Dolby Pro Logic II will automati- cally be set 15ms longer.
The available settings for the CENTER chan- nel (Dolby Digital/DTS only) are 0ms, 1ms, 2ms, 3ms, 4ms, and 5ms. For SURROUND (Dolby Digital/DTS), the settings are 0ms, 5ms, 10ms, and 15ms. For SURROUND (Dolby Pro Logic II), the settings are 15ms, 20ms, 25ms, and 30ms. For the CENTER BACK channel (Dolby Digital/DTS only), the settings are 0ms, 5ms, 10ms, and 15ms.
