x SLSR XXXXX (SURROUND) (Surround speaker size)

•LARGE

If you connect large speakers that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select “LARGE”. Normally, select “LARGE”. However, if the front speakers are set to “SMALL”, you cannot set the surround speakers 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 surround channel bass frequencies from the sub woofer or other “LARGE” speakers.

•NO

If you did not connect surround speakers, select “NO”.c)

Tips

•a) – c) correspond to the following Dolby Pro Logic modes

a)NORMAL

b)PHANTOM

c)3 STEREO

•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 sub woofer or other “LARGE” speakers.

However, since bass sounds have a certain amount of directionality, it is best not to cut them, if possible. Therefore, even when using small speakers, you can set them 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 have bass frequencies output 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 BASS parameter in the TONE menu to boost the bass levels. To adjust the bass, see page 27.

x L R DIST. X.X m (Front speaker distance)

Initial setting: 3.0 m

Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the front speakers (A). You can adjust from 1.0 meter to 7.0 meters in 0.1 meter steps.

If both front speakers are not placed an equal distance from your listening position, set the distance to the closest speaker.

x C DIST. X.X m (Center speaker distance)

Initial setting: 3.0 m

Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the center speaker. Center speaker distance should be set from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (A) to a distance 1.5 meters closer to your listening position (B).

x SLSR DIST. X.X m (Surround speaker distance)

Initial setting: 3.0 m

Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the surround speakers. Surround speaker distance should be set from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (A) to a distance 4.5 meters closer to your listening position (C).

If both surround speakers are not placed an equal distance from your listening position, set the distance to the closest speaker.
