BASS MIX

The bass mix setting is only valid when “LARGE” is set for the front speakers and “YES” is set for the subwoofer during stereo playback .

This setting has effect only during playback of PCM or analog stereo sources.

When “BOTH” is selected, the low frequencies will be played through the main L&R, as well as the subwoofer.

In this playback mode, the low frequency range expand more uniformly through the room, but depending on the size and shape of the room, interference may result in a decrease of the actual volume of the low frequency range.

By selecting “MIX”, the low frequencies will play through the main L&R ONLY.

Note:

LFE signals during playback of Dolby Digital or DTS, will be played through the subwoofer.

2-3 SPEAKERS DISTANCE

Use this parameter to specify the distance of each speaker’s position from the listening position. The delay time is automatically calculated according to these distances.

Begin by determining the ideal or most commonly used seating position in the room.

This is important for the timing of the acoustics to create the proper sound space that the SR7500 and today’s sound systems are able to produce.

Note:

For speakers that you have selected “NONE” the Speaker Configuration sub-menu will not appear here. (There are several useful books and special DVD and LD’s available to guide you through proper home theater configuration. If you are

unsure, have your Marantz dealer perform the i n s t a l l a t i o n f o r y o u . T h e y a r e t r a i n e d professionals familiar with even the most sophisticated custom installations. Marantz recommends the WWW.CEDIA.ORG website for further information about this).
