On this submenu, you can adjust subwoofer and bass sounds precisely according to your preference.

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 with the same timing.

7UNITSelect one of the following as your measuring unit:
meter: Select to set the distance by meter.
feet: Select to set the distance by feet.

 

 

7For each speaker

Set the distance from the listening point within the range of 0.30 m (1.0 ft) to 9.00 m (30.0 ft), in 0.15 m (0.5 ft) intervals.

Notes:

•You cannot set the speaker distance for the speaker you have selected “NO” or “NONE” for on the SPEAKER SETTING submenu.

•This function does not take effect for the surround back channel when the source is “EXT 7.1CH” (with Analog Direct turned off).

7SUBWFR OUT

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:
LFE: Select to transmit only the LFE signals (while

 

playing Dolby Digital and DTS software) and

 

the bass elements of small speakers through the

 

subwoofer.

 

 

LFE+MAIN : Select to always add the bass elements of the front speaker channels (MAIN) to the above (LFE) , and to transmit them through the subwoofer.

Note:

If “SUBWOOFER” is set to “NO” on the SPEAKER SETTING submenu, this function is not available.

7LFE LEVEL

If the bass sound is distorted while playing back software encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS, set the LFE level to eliminate distortion.

•This setting is also valid for THX Ultra2 Cinema, THX Music, DVD MULTI, and EXT 7.1CH.

Adjust the LFE level within the range of –20 dB to 0 dB. (Normally select “0 dB.”)

•Each time you press @ (LEFT) or # (RIGHT), the LFE level changes by ± 1 dB.7PHASE

If the sound output through the subwoofer is not satisfactory, changing the phase will give you a different result.

Select one of the following:

NORMAL : Normally select this.REVERSE : Select this to reverse the phase.

Note:

If “SUBWOOFER” is set to “NO” on the SPEAKER SETTINGsubmenu, this function is not available.
