7Setting the surround back speaker(s)—S BACK OUT

Register the number of the surround back speaker(s).

S BACK OUT: 1SPK Select when you use 1 surround back speaker.

S BACK OUT: 2SPK Select when you use 2 surround back speakers.

Initial setting: S BACK OUT: 2SPK

NOTES

If you have selected “SMALL” for the front speaker size, you cannot select “LARGE” for other speakers.

When “SUBWOOFER” is set to “SUBWOOFER: NO,” the front speaker size is fixed to “LARGE” (and you cannot select “SMALL”).

When “SURR SPK” is set to “SMALL,” you cannot select “LARGE” for the surround back speaker.

When “SURR SPK” is set to “NO,” the surround back speaker is fixed to “NO.”

When “S BACK SPK” is set to “NO,” you cannot select “S BACK OUT.”

When “S BACK OUT” is set to “S BACK OUT: 1SPK,” connect the surround back speaker to the left surround back speaker terminal (see page 8). No sound comes from the surround back speaker if you connect it to the right surround back speaker terminal.

7Setting the speaker distance

The distance from your listening point to the speakers is one of the important elements to obtain the best possible sound effect from the Surround/DSP modes.

By referring to the speaker distance, the receiver 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.

7Measuring unit—DISTANCE UNIT Select which measuring unit you use.

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

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

Initial setting: DISTANCE UNIT: meter
