Other menu parameters of Speaker settings

xSur Back Assign

(Settings of the surround back speaker(s))

•OFF

If you have not connected surround back speakers, select “OFF.”

•BI-AMP

If you connect front speakers in a bi- amplifier configuration, select “BI-AMP.”

Note

Set “Sur Back Assign” to “OFF,” then connect the surround back speakers to this receiver when you want to change the connection from a bi-amplifier connection to a surround back speakers connection. Re-set up the speakers after you connect the surround back speakers. Refer to “Auto Calibration” (page 43) or “Manual Setup” (page 71).

xCrossover Freq

(Speaker crossover frequency)

Lets you set the bass crossover frequency of speakers that has been set to “SMALL” in the Speaker menu. Measured speaker crossover frequency is set for each speaker after the auto calibration.

The adjusted value is set for each speaker when you adjust the speaker crossover frequency using “Crossover Freq” after the auto calibration.

xMulti Ch SW Level (Multi-channel sub woofer level)

Lets you increase the level of the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT sub woofer channel signal by +10 dB. This adjustment may be necessary when connecting a DVD player to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT jacks.

The sub woofer level from DVD players is 10 dB lower than that of Super Audio CD players.

xD.Range Comp

(Dynamic range compressor)

Lets you compress the dynamic range of the soundtrack. This may be useful when you want to watch movies at low volumes late at night. Dynamic range compression is possible with Dolby Digital sources only.

•OFF

The dynamic range is not compressed.

•STD

The dynamic range is compressed as intended by the recording engineer.

•MAX

The dynamic range is compressed dramatically.

Tips

•Dynamic range compressor lets you compress the dynamic range of the soundtrack based on the dynamic range information included in the Dolby Digital signal.

•“STD” is the standard setting, but it only enacts light compression. Therefore, we recommend using the “MAX” setting. This greatly compresses the dynamic range and lets you view movies late at night at low volumes. Unlike analog limiters, the levels are predetermined and provide a very natural compression.

xDistance Unit (Distance unit)

Lets you select the unit of measure for setting distances.

• meter

The distance is displayed in meters.

• feet

The distance is displayed in feet.
