Tips

•When you set up the surround back speaker, set the speaker at least 1 meter behind the listening position. It is recommended to place the speaker at an equal distance from the surround left and right speakers. If there is no space behind the listening position, set the speaker above the listening position by placing it on a stand or hanging it from the ceiling. To prevent speaker damage or injury in case the speaker falls, make sure that it is properly fixed in place.

•Since the active sub woofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want.

Note

Do not place the center speaker further away from the listening position than the front speakers.

Specifying the speaker parameters

1 Press MAIN MENU repeatedly to select “SET UP”.

2 Turn MENU (STR-DE995 only) or press / (STR-DE895 only) to select the

parameter you want to adjust.

Note

Some speaker settings may appear dimmed in the display. This means that they have been changed automatically due to other speaker settings or may not be adjustable.

3 Turn the +/– (STR-DE995 only) or jog dial (STR-DE895 only) to select the setting you want.

The setting is entered automatically.

xSub woofer selection (SUB WOOFER [XXX])

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

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

•In order to take full advantage of the Dolby Digital bass redirection circuitry, we recommend that you set the cut off frequency on the sub woofer as high as possible.
