Tip
“SURR POSI.” (Surround speaker position) is designed specifically for implementation of the sound fields of the Cinema Studio EX modes.
For other sound fields, speaker position is not so critical. Those sound fields were designed under the premise that the surround speakers would be located behind the listening position, but presentation remains fairly consistent even with the surround speakers positioned at a rather wide angle. However, if the speakers are pointing toward the listener from the immediate left and right of the listening position, the surround effects becomes unclear unless set to “SIDE”.
Nevertheless, each listening environment has many variables, like wall reflections, and you may obtain better results using “BEHIND” or “MIDDLE” if your speakers are located high above the listening position, even if they are to the immediate left and right. Therefore, although it may result in a setting contrary to the above explanation, we recommend that you playback multi channel surround encoded software and select the setting that provides a good sense of spaciousness and that best succeeds in forming a cohesive space between the surround sound from the surround speakers and the sound of the front speakers. If you are not sure which sounds best, select “BEHIND” and then use the speaker distance parameter and speaker level adjustments to obtain proper balance.
xSURR HEIGHT
(Surround speaker height)*1
xSURR BACK HGT.
(Surround back speaker height)*2
Lets you specify the hight of your surround speakers and the surround back speakers for proper implementation of the surround effects of the Cinema Studio EX modes (page 35).

xFRONT SP > XXX Hz

xCENTER SP > XXX Hz
(Center speaker crossover frequency)
Initial setting: STD (120 Hz)
Lets you adjust the center speaker bass crossover frequency when “CENTER SP” (center speaker size) is set to “SMALL”. You can adjust from 40 Hz to 200 Hz in 10 Hz steps.
