On setting up the active sub woofer

•When a sub woofer is connected, turn on the sub woofer and turn up the volume beforehand. Turn the MASTER VOLUME knob to just before the mid-point.

•If you connect a sub woofer with the crossover frequency function, set the value to maximum.

•If you connect a sub woofer with an auto standby function, set it to off (deactivated).

a)This receiver corrects signals by analog downmix processing only for the center speaker and sub woofer when the multi-channel input is selected. The correction is invalid for other speakers.

b)The measurement result is not utilized when the multi-channel input is selected.

c)• Signals with a sampling frequency of more than 96 kHz are always played back at either 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.

•The measurement result is not utilized in the following cases.

–The multi-channel input is selected. –“2ch Analog Direct” is being used. –Dolby TrueHD signals with a sampling

frequency of more than 96 kHz are being received.

Note

Depending on the characteristics of the sub woofer you are using, the setup distance value may be further away from the actual position.

Using the receiver as a pre- amplifier

You can use the auto calibration function when you use the receiver as a pre-amplifier. In this case, the distance value shown on the display may differ from the actual distance value. However, there will be no problems even if you continue to use the receiver with that value.
