Settings (Speaker Setup)

This setup has no effect at the moment. Leave this setup as it is (factory settings)

When the SA-10 is updated in the future, it will have an effect on the sound output from the i.LINK (AUDIO) terminals.

Use these speaker setup menus when the i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal is connected to a surround sound amplifier, and when you don’t use the speaker menus of the amplifier.

There is no need for this setup when not using the i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal, or when you use the speaker menus of the amplifier. In this case, leave this setup as it is (factory settings).

The speaker setup has effects on the sound output from the i.LINK (AUDIO) terminals when “Analog Out” is set to “Multi ch”.

<When “Analog Out” is set to “2ch”, the settings made here are ignored.

<When “CD Direct” is set to “Direct”, the settings made here are ignored during playback of a CD.

Speaker Size (SP Size)

Select the size (Large or Small) independently for the L/R (front pair of speakers), the C (center speaker) and the SR/SL (surround pair of speakers). Turn the subwoofer (SW) ON or OFF (if you have no subwoofer).

Large

Select this when the connected speakers can fully reproduce bass frequencies.

Small

Select this when the connected speakers are rather small and cannot reproduce bass frequencies.

When this setting is selected, bass frequencies are output from the subwoofer (if no subwoofer is connected, from the front speakers).

OFF

Select this when no speaker is connected. The sound is output from the front (or surround) speakers.

<When the front speaker is set to “Small”, the subwoofer is set to “ON” automatically. You cannot set the subwoofer “OFF”.

ON (subwoofer only)

Select this when a powered subwoofer is connected.

<For the center and surround pair options, if these speakers are not physically present, you can select OFF to prevent any output from those channels (you cannot turn off the front L/R pair). Any speakers turned off will down mix to the other enabled channels.

<Turning downmix on and off may affect the overall volume.

<If necessary, adjust the level of subwoofer using the volume control of its own or the Speaker level setup.

Speaker levels (SP Level)

Use this to set the relative levels of the speakers. You can set the L/R pair together, and the center, and surround rear pair independently, as well as the subwoofer. The maximum value you can set here is 0dB and the minimum is –12dB, with settings made in 0.5dB increments. The default setting is each speaker channel set to 0dB.

1.When you are ready to start, display “Test Start” and press the ENTER button.

The unit outputs test tone from each channel in turn at the specified level for each channel.

<Test tone at very high levels may not be good for your speakers. Make sure the level of your system is turned down to a reasonable level before carrying out this operation.

<Test tone from subwoofer may be nearly inaudible. Check the level of subwoofer using source material containing low frequency sound.

<The unit won’t output test tone when a Super Audio CD is (or had been) loaded. In this case, remove the disc, turn the unit off and on, and try again.

<The unit won’t output test tone when “i.LINK” is set to “60958”. Select “PCM” to output test tone (see page 23).

2.Adjust the levels and continue using the test tone as necessary until you are happy with the balance.

Test tone length (Test tone)

This represents the length of time that the test tone is output from each speaker when Test Start is selected.

Select “Test Tone”, press the right cursor button, choose between 2, 5 and 10 seconds using the up or down cursor buttons, and press the ENTER button to confirm the entry.
