With this setting, you can specify how your five surround speakers (front L/R, center, and surround L/R) are arranged to get the best effect from the Theater-Dimensional listening mode.

Front speaker

Center speaker

Surround speaker

Yes:

Select this if you’ve arranged your five speakers so that they are all at the front.

No:

Select this if you’re using the normal arrangement for five surround sound speakers (default).

Note:

This setting is available only when the Speaker Configuration settings Center and Surround are set to None (see page 39).

Source Setup

This section explains items on the Source Setup menu. Items can be set individually for each input selector.

IntelliVol (IntelliVolume)

With IntelliVolume, you can set the input level for each input selector individually. This is useful if one of your source components is louder or quieter than the others.

Use the Left and Right []/[] buttons to set the level.

If a component is noticeably louder than the others, use the Left [] button to reduce its input level. If it’s noticeably quieter, use the Right [] button to increase its input level. The input level can be adjusted from –12 dB to +12 dB in 1 dB steps. The default value is 0.

Note:

The dB indicator flashes while the level is being adjusted.

A/V Sync

When using your Blu-ray/DVD player/recorder’s progressive scanning func- tion, you may find that the picture and sound are out of sync. With the A/V Sync setting, you can correct this by applying a delay to the audio signal. The delay can be set from 0 to 100 milliseconds (msec) in 10 millisecond steps. The default value is 0.

Use the Left and Right []/[] buttons to set the delay.

For components that support Lip Sync, a cor- rective delay time is applied by the Lip Sync function (see page 43).

Note:

A/V Sync is disabled when the Direct lis- tening mode is used with an analog input source.

M.Optimizer (Music Optimizer)

The Music Optimizer function enhances the sound quality of compressed music files. Use it with music files that use “lossy” compres- sion, such as MP3.

Off:

Music Optimizer off (default).

On:

Music Optimizer on.

Note:

The Music Optimizer function only works with PCM digital audio input signals with a sampling rate below 48 kHz and analog audio input signals. The Music Optimizer is disabled when the Direct listening mode is selected.
