SETTING THE SPEAKER SETUP

These settings are valid when the 5.1CH AUDIO OUTPUTs are connected to the multichannel audio inputs of your amplifier/receiver.(For details, refer to “Connecting 5.1CH AUDIO OUTPUTs” on page 7.)

To obtain the best possible surround sound, set the size of speakers you have connected and their distances from your listening position. Then use the test tone to adjust the volume of the speakers to the same level.

Note :

When the 5.1CH AUDIO OUTPUTs are connected to the multichannel audio inputs of an amplifier/receiver that has its own speaker size, distance and level settings, set each setting on this setup to default value. Then set the speaker setup on the amplifier/receiver.

For your reference, each default value is as follows :

*For SPEAKER CONFIGURATION, SUBWOOFER : YES, FRONT / CENTER / SURROUND SP : LARGE, CROSSOVER : 100 Hz

*For SPEAKER DISTANCE, FRONT L/R / CENTER / SURROUND L/R : 3.0 M/10 FT

*For CHANNEL LEVEL, FRONT L/R / CENTER / SURROUND L/R / SUBWOOFER : 0 dB
