Multi channel surround setup (continued)
Tip
The receiver allows you to input the speaker position in terms of distance. However, it is not possible to set the center speaker further than the front speakers.
Also, the center speaker cannot be set more than
1.5meters (5 feet) closer than the front speakers. Likewise, the surround and surround back speakers can not be set farther away from the listening position than the front speakers. And they can be no more than
4.5meters (15 feet) closer.
This is because incorrect speaker placement is not conducive to enjoy 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 1~2 m (3~6 feet) 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 surround speakers are too close, setting the surround speaker distance closer (shorter) than the actual distance will create a larger sound stage.
Adjusting these parameter while listening to the sound often results in much better surround sound. Give it a try!
xDistance unit (DISTANCE UNIT)
Lets you select either feet or meters as the unit of measure for setting distances.
xFront speaker crossover frequency (FRONT SP > XXX Hz)
Lets you adjust the front speaker bass crossover frequency when the front speakers are set to “SMALL”.
xCenter speaker crossover frequency (CENTER SP > XXX Hz)
Lets you adjust the center speaker bass crossover frequency when the center speaker is set to “SMALL”.
xSurround speaker crossover frequency (SURROUND SP > XXX Hz)
Lets you adjust the surround speaker bass crossover frequency when the surround speakers are set to “SMALL”.
xSurround back speaker crossover frequency (SURR BACK SP > XXX Hz)
Lets you adjust the surround back speaker bass crossover frequency when the surround back speaker is set to “SMALL”.
Note
You can set the FRONT, CENTER, SURROUND and SURR BACK parameters when the speaker size is set to “SMALL”.
xLFE high cut filter (LFE HIGH CUT > XXX Hz)
Lets you select the cut off frequency of the LFE channel high cut filter. Normally, select “STD”. When using a passive sub woofer powered by a separate power amplifier, it may be better to change the cut off frequency.
xSub woofer phase polarity (S.W
PHASE)
Set the sub woofer phase polarity. There is usually no problem when the sub woofer phase polarity is set to “NORMAL”. However, depending on the type of front speakers, the position of the sub woofer, and the
