Configuration

Feet (default)–Distances can be set from 1 to 30 feet, in one foot increments.

Meters–Distances can be set from 0.3 to 9.0 meters, in 0.3 meter increments.

Specify the distance from each speaker to your listening position.

•For a more accurate setting, look up your speaker’s specifications.

•Choose a higher crossover frequency if you want more sound from your subwoofer.

Using the Double Bass setting (Double Bass submenu of Sp Config menu)

Lets you boost bass output by feeding bass sounds from the front left, right, and center channels to the subwoofer. Optional settings are On and Off.

Note

This function can only be set if the Subwoofer setting is Yes, and the Front setting is Large.

Setting wireless (This setting appears only when RF-RBCARD is inserted)

This menu is used if you are connecting your home theater front left/right, surround, or subwoofer channels using Rocketboost wireless (see “Rocketboost Setup” on page 11 for more details about Rocketboost).

The On menu option results in the wired and wireless channels in your home theater to be synchronized in time.

If any of these channels in your home theater are connected with Rocketboost wireless, then set those channels to On. For example, if you are using Rocketboost for wireless surround sound and wireless subwoofer in your home theater, then set Wireless Sur and Wireless SW to On.

If you are using Rocketboost Wireless to send the front left/right speaker audio signals to Rocketboost receivers in other rooms of your house, and not for your left/right home theater speakers, then set Wireless Front to Off.

Option	Configuration
Wireless Front	On or Off

Wireless Sur	On or Off

Wireless SW	On or Off

•The Surround distances can be set up to 5 ft. (1.5 m) more or 15 ft. (4.5 m) less than the Left distance. For example, if the Left distance is set to 20 ft. (6 m), the SurrRight and SurrLeft distances can be set between 5 and 25 ft. (1.5 and 7.5 m).

Setting the level calibration (Level Cal menu)

Tip

Setting speaker distance (Sp Distance menu)

Lets you specify the distance from each speaker to the listening position so that the sound from each speaker arrives at the listener’s ears as the sound designer intended.

If you’re using a handheld sound level meter, adjust the level of each speaker so that it reads 75 dB SPL at the listening position, measured with C-weighting and slow reading.
