Speaker setup

The PXA-H701 can be set according to the playable frequency range of your speakers. Check the playable frequency range of the speakers (not including the subwoofer) before performing this operation to verify whether the speakers can play low frequencies (of about 80 Hz or less).

NOTE

Avoid stopping, pausing, switching the disc, cueing, fast-forwarding or switching the audio channel of the player while making this adjustment. The setting is cancelled if the decode mode is switched.

6 Press the SETUP button repeatedly to quit the setup mode.

NOTES

•If the centre speaker is turned “OFF”, the centre channel's audio signals are added to the audio signals output from the front speakers.

•If you set the speaker response to “OFF”, also set the speaker setting to “OFF”. (See page 4.)

•Perform the setup for all the speakers (“Front”,

“Center”,“Rear” and “Sub. W”). If not, the sound may not be balanced.

•When centre is set to subwoofer, the setting is ineffective even if centre is set with this function.

•Once the settings are made, we recommend storing them in the memory. See page 28 for instructions.

•Through changing the settings on each speaker, a change in the output of the other speakers may occur due to the setting requirements.

•When using the PRO LOGIC II, if the rear speaker is set to “LARGE”, then there will be no output from the sub-woofer.

Adjusting the speaker levels

Use the PXA-H701’s test tones to make the volume adjustments of the different speakers. When levels are equal, a strong sense of presence can be heard from the different speakers at the listening position.

NOTE

Avoid stopping, pausing, switching the disc, cueing, fast-forwarding or switching the audio channel of the player while making this adjustment. The setting is cancelled if the decode mode is switched.

1 Press the SETUP button. The setup mode is set.

2 Turn the Rotary encoder to select the “5.1CH SETUP” mode, then press the ENTER button.

3 Turn the Rotary encoder to select “OUTPUT LEVEL”, then press the ENTER button.
