Correcting the subwoofer’s phase

If trying to boost the bass output of the sub- woofer doesn’t do much or rather makes you feel that the bass gets more murky, this may indicate that the subwoofer’s output and bass content you hear over other speakers cancel each other out. To remove this problem, try changing the phase setting for the subwoofer.

1Use MULTI-CONTROL to select FRONT (speaker setting) in the audio function menu.

Refer to Introduction of DSP adjustments on page 52.

2Press cor dto select SUB.W. FRONT (front speakers)—CENTER (center speaker)—REAR (rear speakers)—SUB.W (subwoofer)—PHASE (subwoofer setting)

3Press ato turn the subwoofer output

on.

4Press dto select PHASE (subwoofer setting).

5Press aor bto select the phase of sub- woofer output.

Press ato select NOR (normal phase). Press bto select REV (reverse phase).

Note

When playing a 2-channel mono source with Dolby Pro Logic II turned on, there may be occa- sions when the following will occur:

!No audio is outputted if the center speaker setting is SML or LRG and no center speaker is installed.

!Audio is heard only over the center speaker if installed and the center speaker setting is SML or LRG.

Selecting a cross-over frequency

You can select a frequency, under which sounds are reproduced through the subwoo- fer. If the installed speakers include one whose

size has been set to SML, you can select a fre- quency, under which sounds are reproduced through a LRG speaker or subwoofer.

1Use MULTI-CONTROL to select HPF in the audio function menu.

Refer to Introduction of DSP adjustments on page 52.

2Press cor dto select the speaker to be adjusted.

F (front speakers)—C (center speaker)—R (rear speakers)—SW (subwoofer)

3Press aor bto select cross-over fre- quency for the selected speaker. 63—80—100—125—160—200 (Hz)

Note

Selecting a cross-over frequency is to set a cross- over frequency of the subwoofer’s L.P.F. (low-pass filter) and that of the SML speaker H.P.F. (high- pass filter). The cross-over frequency setting has no effect if the subwoofer is set to OFF and other speakers are set to LRG or OFF.

Adjusting the speaker output levels

Speaker level can be adjusted finely by listen- ing to an audio output. First, use test tone to adjust the approximate speaker level, and then use this function to adjust finely.
