Using presence speakers

The presence speakers supplement the sound from the front speakers with extra ambient effects produced by the sound field programs (see page 45). Presence left and right speakers function more effectively when the CINEMA DSP 3D mode is active (see page 50). You can adjust the vertical position of dialogues with using the presence speakers (see page 75). To use the presence speakers, connect the speakers to SP1 speaker terminals and then set “Presence” to “Yes” (see page 92).

PREPARATION

Notes

If “Presence” is set to “None”, this unit cannot activate the CINEMA DSP 3D mode.

You can connect both surround back and presence speakers to this unit, but they do not output sound simultaneously. This unit automatically switches the presence speakers and surround back speakers depending on the input sources and the selected sound field programs. You can set to prioritize either set of speakers using the “PR/SB Priority” parameter in “Basic” (see page 93).
