Digital output

[DVD-A] [DVD-V]

Change the settings when you have connected equipment through this unit’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal (OPTICAL or COAXIAL).

PCM Down Conversion

Select how to output audio with a sampling frequency of 96 kHz or 88.2 kHz.

≥Select “Yes” if the equipment you connect cannot process signals with a sampling frequency of 96 kHz or 88.2 kHz.

Also make the appropriate “Digital Audio Output” setting. (➡ page 21)

No (Factory preset): Output as 96 kHz or 88.2 kHz

Yes: Converted to 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz

Speaker presence and size (a)

1.Press [3, 4, 2, 1] to select the item and press [ENTER].

2.Press [3, 4] to select the setting and press [ENTER].

Icon examples:
Surround speaker (LS)	LS	LS
No	Large	Small

≥Large: When the speaker supports low-frequency (under 100 Hz) reproduction.

≥Small: Select when the speaker does not support low-frequency reproduction.

If the subwoofer set to No, the front speakers will automatically be set to Large.

[Note]

≥Signals are converted to either 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz despite the above settings if the signals have a sampling frequency of over 96 kHz, or the disc has copy protection.

≥Some equipment cannot handle sampling frequencies of 88.2 kHz, even if they can handle 96 kHz. Read your equipment’s operating instructions

Delay time (b)

[DVD-V](Dolby Digital, center and surround speakers only)

For optimum listening with 5.1-channel sound, all the speakers, except for the subwoofer, should be the same distance from the seating position. If you have to place the center or surround speakers closer to the seating position, adjust the delay time to make up for the difference.

Advanced operations

If the equipment you connected cannot decode the signal, the setting must be changed to PCM. If not, signals the equipment cannot process will be output by this unit, causing high levels of noise which can damage your hearing and the speakers.

Speaker setting

Change speaker presence and size a, delay time b, and channel balance

cto suit the speakers you have connected.

These settings are not necessary when you select “2-channel” (only two speakers are connected).

[Note]

This feature works only for analog connection (➡ page 7).

If distances d (from the center speaker) and f (from the surround speakers) are the same as or greater than e (from the front speakers), leave the delay time as “0”, the factory preset.

If either distance d or f is less than e, find the difference in the relevant table and change to the recommended setting.

Changing the delay time

1.Press [3, 4, 2, 1] to select the delay time box and press [ENTER].

2.Press [3, 4] to adjust the delay time and press [ENTER].

Channel balance (c)

1.Press [3, 4, 2, 1] to select “Test” and press [ENTER].

A test signal is output from one speaker at a time, starting with the front left speaker and proceeding clockwise.

2.While listening to the test signal, press [3, 4] to adjust the volume of the center and surround speakers so they are the same apparent volume as the front speakers (j6 to i6).

(The front speakers cannot be adjusted here.)

3.Press [ENTER]. The test signal stops.

≥No signal is output for the subwoofer. To adjust its volume, play something, then return to this screen to adjust to suit your taste.

To finish the speaker setting
