Specifying the speaker type and the location of the rear speakers

1Press SET UP repeatedly to select SPEAKER SETUP.

2 Use the digital processing control buttons (/ ) to select the parameter to be set and use the

buttons ( / ) to select the setting.

FRONT SP. (front speaker)

•If you connect large speakers that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select “LARGE.”

•When a Dolby Digital sound source (indicated by the lighting of the DISCRETE indicator) produces an inadequate surround effect, or when cracking occurs in the sound output, select “SMALL” to activate the Dolby Digital (AC-3) bass redirection circuitry and output the front channel bass frequencies from the subwoofer or other “LARGE” speakers.

CENTER SP. (center speaker size)

•If you connect large speakers that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select “LARGE.”

•When a Dolby Digital sound source (indicated by the lighting of the DISCRETE indicator) produces an inadequate surround effect, or when cracking occurs in the sound output, select “SMALL” to activate the Dolby Digital (AC-3) bass redirection circuitry and output the center channel bass frequencies from the front speakers, subwoofer or other “LARGE” speakers.

•If you do not connect the center speaker, select “NO.”

REAR SP. (rear speaker)

•If you connect large speakers that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select “LARGE.”

•When a Dolby Digital sound source (indicated by the lighting of the DISCRETE indicator) produces an inadequate surround effect, or when cracking occurs in the sound output, select “SMALL” to activate the Dolby Digital (AC-3) bass redirection circuitry and output the rear channel bass frequencies from the subwoofer or other “LARGE” speakers.

•If you do not connect rear speakers, select “NO.”

REAR SP. (rear speaker place)

This parameter lets you specify the location of your rear speakers for proper implementation of the Digital Cinema Sound VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT and VIRTUAL MULTI REAR sound fields. Refer to the illustration below.

•Set to SIDE if the location of your rear speakers corresponds to section A.

•Set to BEHIND if the location of your rear speakers corresponds to section B.

This setting affects only the VIRTUAL REAR SHIFT and VIRTUAL MULTI REAR sound fields.

Note that this parameter does not appear when the REAR SP. (rear speaker) parameter is set to “NO.”

SUB WOOFER (subwoofer selection)

•If you connect a subwoofer, select “YES” to output the LFE (low frequency extension) channel from the subwoofer.

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

zIf you feel the surround effect is inadequate

Do the procedure below to adjust the delay time for the center and rear speakers.

1 Press SET UP repeatedly to select OTHER SETUP.

2 Use the digital processing control buttons (/) to select CENTER DELAY or REAR DELAY and use the buttons (/) to select the delay time.
