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 32, this setting is not required.

7Measuring unit—DIST UNIT

Select which measuring unit you use.

DIST UNIT: meter Select to set the distance in meters.

DIST UNIT: feet Select to set the distance in feet.

7Speaker distance—FRNTL DISTANCE, FRNTR DISTANCE, CNTR DISTANCE, SURRL DISTANCE, SURRR DISTANCE, SBACK DISTANCE

Set the distance from the listening point within the range of 0.3 m (1 ft) to 9.0 m (30 ft), in 0.3 m (1 ft) intervals.

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 34).

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.

7Subwoofer output—S WFR OUTPUT

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 “SUB WOOFER: NO,” this function is not available.
