10 Press MUTE/RTN/SETUP to return to the previous screen.

When the speaker is set to the “OFF” mode, the parametric equalizer for that speaker cannot be set. Refer to “Setting the Speakers” (page 33).

It is not possible to adjust the frequencies of adjacent bands within 7 steps.

Check the playable frequency ranges of the connected speakers before making the equalizer adjustments. If the speaker’s playable frequency range is 55 Hz to 30 kHz, for example, adjusting the 40 Hz or 20 Hz band has no effect. Additionally, you may overload and damage the speakers.

When the parametric EQ is adjusted, the adjustment for graphic EQ becomes ineffective.

Setting Bass Focus

Using the previously specified delay number (time difference) allows you to set a time difference between the front-rear/left-right speakers. Namely, it enables a time correction based on your preference. With an initial delay of 0.05 ms for each of the 0 to 400 steps, audible time correction can be achieved.

5 Press the joystick up or down to select the desired speaker.

6 Press the joystick left or right to adjust the front, rear, left and right speakers.

7 Repeat step 5 and 6 to set other speakers.

Any setting in Bass Focus is applied in time correction, too.

Press MUTE/RTN/SETUP to return to the previous screen.

Speaker Setup

The PXA-H700 or 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).

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

1 Check that Defeat mode is off (page 10).

2 Press and hold MUTE/RTN/SETUP for at least 2 seconds.

The SETUP screen is displayed.

3 Press the joystick up or down to select AP SETUP, then press the joystick right.

The AP SETUP screen is displayed.

4 Press the joystick up or down to select SPEAKER SETUP, then press the joystick right.

5 Press the joystick up or down to select the desired speaker.

6 Press the joystick left or right to select the speaker characteristic.

OFF*1: When no speaker is connected.

SMALL: When a speaker that cannot play low frequencies (80 Hz or less) is connected.

LARGE*2: When a speaker that can play low frequencies (80 Hz or less) is connected.

*1 It is not possible to set the front speakers to “OFF”. *2 If the front speakers are set to “SMALL”, the rear and

center speakers cannot be set to “LARGE”.

7 Repeat step 5 and 6 to set each speaker.

If the center speaker is turned “OFF,” the center 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” (page 33).

Perform the setup for all the speakers (“Front,” “Center,” “Rear” and “Subwoofer”). Otherwise, the sound may not be balanced.

When the center speaker is set to “OFF”, the setting is ineffective even if center is set with this function.

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 PRO LOGIC II, if the rear speaker is set to “LARGE”, there will be no output from the subwoofer.
