NOTES: |
•If you have selected “NO” for the surround back speaker (see page 28), you cannot select this setting.
•When the sound is not output from the surround back speaker even
though playing back Dolby Digital EX software (bearing the mark ) setting “EX/ES” to “AUTO,” select “ON” instead of “AUTO.”
Setting the speaker distance
The distance from your listening point to the speakers is another important element to obtain the best possible sound from the Surround and DSP modes. You need to set the distance from your listening point to the speakers.
By referring to the speaker distance setting, this system 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.
Set the distance from the listening point to each speaker with the range of 0.3 m to 9.0 m (in 0.3 m intervals).
NOTE: |
If you have selected “NO” for “BACK SP” (see page 28), you cannot set the speaker distance for the surround back speaker.
Setting the crossover frequency—CROSS
Small speakers cannot reproduce the bass sounds efficiently. If you use a small speaker in any position, this system automatically reallocates the bass sound elements assigned to the small speaker to the large speakers.
To use this function properly, set the crossover frequency level according to the size of the small speaker connected.
•If you have selected “LARGE” for all speakers, this function does not take effect and you cannot change the frequency.
Select one of the following settings:
80Hz :Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 12 cm.
100Hz :Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 10 cm.
120Hz :Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 8 cm.
150Hz :Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 6 cm.
200Hz :Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is less than 5 cm.
CAUTION:
When using the supplied speakers, select “200Hz.”
NOTE: |
Crossover frequency is not valid for the HEADPHONE mode.

Setting the phase of subwoofer
—PHASE
Subwoofer phase is closely related with the distance from the listening position to the front speakers and subwoofer. You can change the phase to obtain better bass sound.
Select one of the following settings:
NORMAL :Normally select this.
REVERS :Select when you feel the bass sound is better with this mode rather than with “NORMAL.”
Ex.: In the above case, set the speaker distance as follows:
FRNT D | : 3.0 m |
CNTR D | : 3.0 m |
SURR D | : 2.7 m |
BACK D | : 2.4 m |
