Setting the speaker distance
The distance from your listening point to the speakers is another important element to obtain the best possible sound of the Surround and DSP modes. Set the distance from your listening point to the speakers.
By referring to the speaker distance setting, this unit automatically sets the delay time of the sound through each speaker so that sounds through all the speakers can reach you at the same time.
•If you have used Quick Speaker Setup on page 21, this setting is not required.

•When shipped from the factory, distance for each speaker is set to “3.0 m (10 ft).”
Notes:
•You cannot set the speaker distance for the speakers you have selected “NONE” (see page 23).
•This setting is not valid for the DVD MULTI playback mode.

Setting the bass sounds
You can adjust subwoofer and bass sounds precisely according to your preference.
7 Subwoofer |
You can select the type of the signal which can be transmitted |
through the subwoofer. In other words, you can determine |
whether or not the bass elements of the front speaker channels |
are transmitted through the subwoofer regardless of the front |
speaker size setting (either “SMALL” or “LARGE”). |
Select one of the following: |
S WFR: LFE Select to emit only the LFE signals (while |
playing Dolby Digital or DTS software) or the |
bass elements of the “SMALL” front speakers |
(while playing any source other than the above). |
S WFR: LFE+MAIN |
Select to always emit the bass elements of the |
front speaker channels (MAIN). While playing |
Dolby Digital or DTS software, the bass |
element and the LFE signals are both emitted. |
Note: |
If you have selected “NO” for the subwoofer, this function is not |
available. |
7 Crossover |
You can select the crossover frequency for the small speakers |
used. The signals below the selected frequency level will be sent |
to and be reproduced by the subwoofer (or by “LARGE” |
speakers when you have selected “NO” for the subwoofer). |
Select one of the crossover frequency levels according to the |
