Settings for the system

(SYSTEM menu)

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

Select “7-SYSTEM” in the amplifier menus. For details on adjusting the parameters, see “Navigating through menus” (page 44) and “Overview of the menus” (page 45).

SYSTEM menu parameters

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

x CNT 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”.

x SUR SPK (Surround speakers) The surround back speakers will be set to the same setting.

• 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 speaker that is set to “LARGE”.

• NO

If you have not connected surround speakers, select “NO”.
