Speaker presence and size (A)

1Press [3, 4, 2, 1] to select the speaker icon (A) and press [OK].

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

Icon examples:
Surround speaker (LS)		LS	LS
≥“Large”:	Select when
		Large	Small	No
	the speaker
	supports
≥“Small”:	low-frequency (under 100 Hz) reproduction.
	Select when the speaker does not support
	low-frequency reproduction.

In order to make an ideal listening environment, settings of speaker sizes may be automatically adjusted.

For example, if the subwoofer is set to “No”, the front speakers will automatically be set to “Large”. (In this case, we recommend connecting a speaker that can reproduce bass below 100 Hz.)

Delay time (B)

For optimum listening with 7.1/5.1-channel sound, all the speakers, except for the subwoofer, should be the same distance from the seating position.

If you have to place the centre, surround and surround back speakers closer to the seating position, adjust the delay time to make up for the difference.

If either distance D or F is less than E, find the difference in the relevant table and change to the recommended setting.

1Press [3, 4, 2, 1] to select the delay time box (B) and press [OK].

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