JVC RX-E11S Setting bass sound, Setting the speaker distance, Setting subwoofer output—SUBWFROUT

Setting 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.

•If you have used Smart Surround Setup on page 14, this setting is not required.

7Measuring unit—DIST UNIT

Select which measuring unit you use.

UNIT :meter Select to set the distance in meters.

UNIT : feet Select to set the distance in feet.

Initial setting: UNIT :meter

7Speaker distance—

FRNT L DIST (for the left front speaker), FRNT R DIST (for the right front speaker), CENTER DIST (for the center speaker), SURR L DIST (for the left surround speaker), SURR R DIST (for the right surround speaker)

Adjustable range: 0.3 m to 9.0 m in 0.3 m intervals (1 ft to 30 ft in 1 ft intervals)

Initial setting: 3.0 m (10 ft) for all speakers

Setting bass sound

Setting subwoofer output—SUBWFR 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 “SML” or “LRG”).

SW: LFE	Select to emit only the LFE signals (while
	playing Dolby Digital and DTS software) or
	the bass elements of the “SML (small)” front
	speakers (while playing any source other than
	above).
SW:LFE+MAIN	Select to always emit the bass elements of
	the front speaker channels (MAIN). While
	playing Dolby Digital and DTS software, the
	bass elements and the LFE signals are both
	emitted.

Initial setting: SW: LFE

NOTE

When “SUBWOOFER” is set to “SUBWFR : NO” (see page 16), this function is not available.

Small speakers cannot reproduce the bass sounds efficiently. If you use a small speaker in any position, this receiver automatically reallocates the bass sound elements assigned to the small speaker to the large speakers.

To use this function properly, set this crossover frequency level according to the size of the small speaker connected.

•If you have selected “LRG (large)” for all speakers (see page 16), this function will not take effect (“CROSS: OFF” appears).

CROSS: 80Hz Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 12 cm.

LS	RS
In this case, set the distance as follows:
Left front speaker (L):	“FL D : 3.0m (10ft)”
Right front speaker (R):	“FR D : 3.0m (10ft)”
Center speaker (C):	“C D : 3.0m (10ft)”
Left surround speaker (LS):	“LS D : 2.7m (9ft)”
Right surround speaker (RS):	“RS D : 2.7m (9ft)”

NOTES

•You cannot set the speaker distance for the speakers you have set to “NO.”

•If you change speaker distance, the distance and output level set manually will be applied instead of those set by Smart Surround Setup.

CROSS:100Hz Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 10 cm.

CROSS:120Hz Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 8 cm.

CROSS:150Hz Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 6 cm.

CROSS:200Hz Select when the cone speaker unit built in the

speaker is less than 5 cm.

Initial setting: CROSS:100Hz

NOTE

Crossover frequency is not valid for the HEADPHONE and 3D HEADPHONE modes.

Setting the low frequency effect attenuator—LFE ATT

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

•This function takes effect only when the LFE signals come in.

LFE : 0dB Normally select this.

LFE : –10dBSelect when the bass sound is distorted.

Initial setting: LFE : 0dB
