Settings for the system

(SYSTEM menu)

You can use the SYSTEM menu to set the size and distance of the speakers connected to this system.

Select “7-SYSTEM” in the amplifier menus. For details on adjusting the parameters, see “Navigating through menus” (page 34) and “Overview of the menus” (page 35).

SYSTEM menu parameters

The default setting for models of area code U, CA is “ft.” and for models of other area code is “m”.

xSW SPK (Sub woofer)

• YES

If you have connected a sub woofer, select “YES”.

• NO

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

Tip

In order to take full advantage of the Dolby Digital bass redirection circuitry, we recommend setting the sub woofer’s cut off frequency as high as possible.

xFRT SPK (Front speakers)

• LARGE

If you connect large speakers that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select “LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”. When the sub woofer is set to “NO”, the front speakers are automatically set to “LARGE”.

SMALL

If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of surround effects when using multi channel surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate the bass redirection circuitry and output the front channel bass frequencies from the sub woofer. When the front speakers are set to “SMALL”, the center, surround, and surround back speakers are also automatically set to “SMALL” (unless previously set to “NO”).

xCNT SPK (Center speaker)

• LARGE

If you connect a large speaker that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select “LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”. However, if the front speakers are set to “SMALL”, you cannot set the center speaker to “LARGE”.

• SMALL

If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of surround effects when using multi channel surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate the bass redirection circuitry and output the center channel bass frequencies from the front speakers (if set to “LARGE”) or sub woofer.

• NO

If you have not connected a center speaker, select “NO”. The sound of the center channel will be output from the front speakers.
