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 37) and “Overview of the menus” (page 38).

SYSTEM menu parameters

xSW SPK (Sub woofer)

• 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.

• YES

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

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)

• 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 and surround speakers are also automatically set to “SMALL” (unless previously set to “NO”).

• 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”.

x CNT SPK (Center speaker)

• NO

If you have not connected a center speaker,

 

select “NO”. The sound of the center

 

channel will be output from the front

 

speakers.

 

• SMALL
