Setting Your Speaker System

for Multichannel Audio Playback

This player contains a built-in decoder for Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio sources as well as 5.1 channel discrete audio output. Ideally, a 5.1 channel system contains 6 speakers: 2 front speakers, 2 surround speakers, a center speaker, and a sub woofer. However, as this is not always the case, accurately setting the [Speaker Setting] setting to reflect your speaker setup allows the player’s built-in decoder to reroute signals to compensate for absent speakers.

Make adjustments in the [Speaker Setting] setting in the Setup screen Audio 2 menu.

4 Move the cursor control joystic left or right to select Large/Small/Off or On/Off corresponding to whether the selected speaker is present in your system or not, respectively.

Set the size of your speakers in the Size screen. The front left/right [L/R] speakers have a fixed setting of Large. The center [C], left surround [LS] and right surround [RS] speakers can each be set to [Large], [Small] or [Off]. Set a speaker to Large if the main speaker cone is 120mm (4 3/4”) or more; set to [Small] if the it’s less than 120mm (4 3/4”). Note that the [LS] and [RS] speakers cannot be set independently.

The subwoofer (SW) can only be set to On or Off. The graphic on the right of the screen represents your speaker setup, with the currently selected speaker’s name highlighted in blue, and the speakers set to On highlighted in yellow.

8 Move the cursor control joystic left or right to select distance from speaker.

Set the distance from your main listening position to each speaker in the Distance screen. The distance setting for any speaker that was set to Off in the Size screen will be grayed out. For the other speakers, enter the distance to the nearest 0.5 feet (0.1m). You can set the distance for the [L/R] speakers between 1.0 feet (0.3m) and 30 feet (9m). Note that you must set the [C] and [SW] speakers within 6.5 feet (2m) of the [L/R] setting. The [LS] and [RS] speakers must be set within -20 feet (-6m) and +6.5 feet (+2m) of the [L/R] setting.

The graphic on the right of the screen represents your speaker setup, with the currently selected speaker’s name highlighted in blue, and the speakers set to [On] highlighted in yellow.

Note: If your subwoofer is placed beyond the adjustment range (L/R–6.5 (2)), set to the nearest setting possible. Surround sound cohesion should not be affected very much.
