System Speaker the Up Setting and Up Hooking

Multi-Channel Surround Setup

pSub woofer selection (WOOFER)

Initial setting : YES

• If you connect a sub woofer, select “YES”.

• If you do not connect a sub woofer, select “NO”. This activates the Dolby Digital (AC-3) bass redirection circuitry and outputs the LFE signals from other speakers.

• In order to take full advantage of the Dolby Digital (AC-3) bass redirection circuitry, we recommend setting the sub woofer’s cut off frequency as high as possible.

pFront speaker distance (FRONT)

Initial setting : 16 feet

Set the distance from your listening position to the front (left or right) speaker (A on page 13).

• Front speaker distance can be set in 1 foot (0.1 meter) steps from 3 to 40 feet (1.0 to 12.0 meters).

• If both speakers are not placed an equal distance from your listening position, set the distance to the closest speaker.

pCenter speaker distance (CENTER)

Initial setting : 16 feet

Set the distance from your listening position to the center speaker.

•Center speaker distance can be set in 1 foot (0.1 meter) steps from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (A on page 13) to a distance 5 feet (1.5 meters) closer to your listening position (B on page 13).

•Do not place the center speaker farther away from your listening position than the front speakers.

pRear speaker distance (REAR)

Initial setting : 11 feet

Set the distance from your listening position to the rear (left or right) speaker.

• Rear speaker distance can be set in 1 foot (0.1 meter) steps from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (A on page 13) to a distance 15 feet (4.5 meters) closer to your listening position (C on page 13).

• Do not place the rear speakers farther away from your listening position than the front speakers.

• If both speakers are not placed an equal distance from your listening position, set the distance to the closest speaker.

zAbout speaker distances

This unit allows you to input the speaker position in terms of distance. However, it is not possible to set the center speaker farther away than the front speakers. Also, the center speaker can not be set more that 5 feet (1.5 meters) closer than the front speakers.

Likewise, the rear speakers can not be set farther away than from the listening position than the front speakers. And they can be no more than 15 feet (4.5 meters) closer.

This is because incorrect speaker placement is not conducive to the enjoyment of surround sound.

Please note that, setting the speaker distance closer than the actual location of the speakers will cause a delay in the output of the sound from that speaker. In other words, the speaker will sound like it is farther away.

For example, setting the center speaker distance 3~6 feet (1~2 m) closer than the actual speaker position will create a fairly realistic sensation of being “inside” the screen. If you cannot obtain a satisfactory surround effect because the rear speakers are too close, setting the rear speaker distance closer (shorter) than the actual distance will create a larger soundstage.

Adjusting these parameter while listening to the sound often results in much better surround sound. Give it a try!

pDistance unit (DIST. UNIT)

Initial setting : FEET

Lets you select either feet or meters as the unit of measure for setting distances. 1 foot corresponds to a 1 ms difference.
