quality sound when you do not have a center speaker connected. Analog downmix works when you set “Center Mix” to “ON.” This setting is also effective to input signals from MULTI CHANNEL INPUT jacks.

xSur Back Assign(Settings of the surround back speaker(s))

•OFF

If you have not connected surround back speakers, select “OFF.”•BI-AMP

If you connect front speakers in a bi- amplifier configuration, select “BI-AMP.”

•ZONE 2

If you are using the surround back speakers in zone 2, select “ZONE 2.” When you select “ZONE 2,” the input to the SUR BACK jacks of the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT is invalid.

Note

Set “Sur Back Assign” to “OFF,” then connect the surround back speakers to this receiver when you want to change the connection from a bi-amplifier connection or a zone 2 connection to a surround back speakers connection. Re-set up the speakers after you connect the surround back speakers. Refer to “Auto Calibration” (page 46) or “Manual Setup” (page 74).

xCrossover Freq(Speaker crossover frequency)

Lets you set the bass crossover frequency of speakers that has been set to “SMALL” in the Speaker menu. Measured speaker crossover frequency is set for each speaker after the auto calibration.

The adjusted value is set for each speaker when you adjust the speaker crossover frequency using “Crossover Freq” after the auto calibration.

xMulti Ch SW Level (Multi-channel sub woofer level)

Lets you increase the level of the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT sub woofer channel signal by +10 dB. This adjustment may be necessary

when connecting a DVD player to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT jacks.

The sub woofer level from DVD players is 10 dB lower than that of Super Audio CD players.

xD.Range Comp(Dynamic range compressor)

Lets you compress the dynamic range of the soundtrack. This may be useful when you want to watch movies at low volumes late at night. Dynamic range compression is possible with Dolby Digital sources only.

•OFF

The dynamic range is not compressed.

•STD

The dynamic range is compressed as intended by the recording engineer.•MAXThe dynamic range is compressed dramatically.

Tips

•Dynamic range compressor lets you compress the dynamic range of the soundtrack based on the dynamic range information included in the Dolby Digital signal.

•“STD” is the standard setting, but it only enacts light compression. Therefore, we recommend using the “MAX” setting. This greatly compresses the dynamic range and lets you view movies late at night at low volumes. Unlike analog limiters, the levels are predetermined and provide a very natural compression.
