Settings (Speaker setup for 5.1-channel AUDIO OUT, HDMI, and i.LINK terminals)

Use these speaker setup menus in the following cases only:

When the 5.1-channel AUDIO OUT terminals (UX-1 Pi only) are connected to a surround sound amplifier.

When the i.LINK (AUDIO) or the HDMI terminal is connected to a surround sound amplifier with a decoder, and when you don’t use the speaker menus of the amplifier.

The speaker setup has no effect on the sound output from the DIGITAL OUT (coaxial or optical) terminals.

There is no need for this setup when not using the 5.1- channel AUDIO OUT (UX-1 Pi only), the i.LINK (AUDIO) or the HDMI 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 5.1-channel AUDIO OUT (UX-1 Pi only), the i.LINK and the HDMI terminals when the Analog Out setting is set to “Multi Channel”.

<In the following cases, the settings made here are ignored:

When the Analog Out setting is set to “2ch”.

Play a DVD-Video with “i.LINK” set to “60958”.

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 downmix (if this option is selected) 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 (see page 42).
