Set the size to suit your speakers

LARGE:For speakers that can reproduce a full sound range, particularly the bass range below 100 Hz.

NONE: For speakers you haven’t connected (center, surround or surround back).

The factory settings are:

FRONT:LARGE

CENTER, SURROUND and SUR BACK (surround back): SMALL

For the subwoofer (SUB-WFR), select YES if you have connected one (factory setting), or NO if you have not.

DISTANCE

Enter the distance of the front, center and surround speakers from the seating position

Change the distance so that the sound from all the speakers (except for the subwoofer) reaches you at the same time.

You can select distances between 3 and 30 feet at one-foot intervals.

The factory settings are: FRONT and CENTER: 10 FEET SURROUND and SUR BACK: 5 FEET

Press at the same time to enter the setting mode.

FILTER

Change the cut-off for bass output from the front speakers

If you set the front speakers to “SMALL”, the filter is set to 100 Hz. Raise the cut-off if the bass from the front speakers is unsatisfactory so that this bass is output through the subwoofer.

You can raise the cut-off from 100 Hz to either 150 Hz or 200 Hz.

Change these settings to suit the connections you have made to the four digital input terminals, OPT 1, OPT 2, OPT 3 and COAX, so that the correct source is selected when you turn [INPUT SELECTOR].

The factory settings are: CD: OPT 1 TV: OPT 2 DVD: OPT 3 Free: COAX

Adjust the level of the other speakers based on the output of the front speakers. (Adjust the volume of the front speakers with [VOLUME].)

C (center), SR (surround right), SB (surround back), and SL (surround left) can be adjusted between –10 dB and +10 dB, with 0 being the level of the front speakers.

Adjust center, surround and surround back output to the same apparent level of the front speakers.

For SW (subwoofer), you can select “---” so there is no output, “MIN” for minimum output, a level between 1 and 19, or “MAX” for maximum output. Adjust subwoofer output so it is balanced with the front speakers. Subwoofer output is easily influenced by the source. You can also change its level while playing something for better effect (\ page 13).
