Adjusting the speaker size (Manual Setup)

You can adjust the size of each speaker (front left/right, front high left/right (*1), center, surround left/right and surround back left/right (*1)).

*1 for STR-DH750 only

1.Select [Settings] - [Speaker Settings] from the home menu.

2.Select [Manual Setup].

3.Select the speaker on the screen for which you want to adjust the size.

4.Select [Size], then press / to adjust the size.

Large: If you connect large speakers that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select [Large]. Select [Large] usually.

Small: If the sound is distorted or you hear a lack of surround effects when using multi channel surround sound, select [Small]. You can activate the bass redirection circuitry and output the bass frequencies of each channel from the subwoofer or other [Large] speakers.

Note

This function does not work when [Analog Direct] is being used.

Hint

The [Large] and [Small] settings for each speaker determine whether the internal sound processor will cut the bass signal from that channel.

When the bass is cut from a channel, the bass redirection circuitry sends the corresponding bass frequencies to the subwoofer or other [Large] speakers.

However, since bass sound has a certain amount of directionality, it is best not to cut it if possible. Therefore, you can set even a small speaker to [Large] if you want to output the bass frequencies from that speaker. On the other hand, if you are using a large speaker but prefer not to output bass frequencies from that speaker, set it to [Small].

If the overall sound level is lower than you prefer, set all speakers to [Large]. If there is not enough bass, you can use the equalizer to boost the bass levels.

The surround back speakers will be set to the same setting as that of the surround speakers.

When the front speakers are set to [Small], the center, surround, and surround back/front high (*2) speakers are also automatically set to [Small].

If you do not use the subwoofer, the front speakers are automatically set to [Large]. [Size] cannot be set when headphones are connected.
