NOTES:
— Assignment of low frequency signal range —
•The only signals produced from the subwoofer channel are LFE signals (during playback of Dolby Digital or DTS signals) and the low
frequency signal range of channels set to “Small” in the setup menu. The low frequency signal range of channels set to “Large” are
produced from those channels.
— Subwoofer mode —
•The subwoofer mode functions only when the input signal is Dolby Digital or a DTS digital signal.
•The subwoofer mode setting is only valid when “Large” is set for the front speakers and “Yes” is set for the subwoofer in the “Speaker
Configuration” settings (see page 18).
•When the “LFE+Main” playback mode is selected, the low frequency signal range of channels set to “Large” are produced simultaneously
from those channels and the subwoofer channel.
In this playback mode, the low frequency range expand more uniformly through the room, but depending on the size and shape of the room,
interference may result in a decrease of the actual volume of the low frequency range.
•Selection of the “LFE - THX” play mode will play the low frequency signal range of the channel selected with “Large” from that channel
only. Therefore, the low frequency signal range that are played from the subwoofer channel are only the low frequency signal range of LFE
(only during Dolby Digital or DTS signal playback) and the channel specified as “Small” in the setup menu. THX is recommended in this play
mode so that bass interference is less likely to occur in the room.
•Select the play mode that provides bass reproduction with body.
Setting the delay time
•Input the distance between the listening position and the different speakers to set the delay time for the surround mode.
•The delay time can be set separately for surround speakers A and B.
•Two surround back speakers are required to use the THX Ultra2 Cinema and THX Music modes.
Set the surround back speakers so that the distance to the listening point is the same for both the left and right speakers.
It is also recommended that the deviations of the distance from the listening position to L and R channel speakers (front left (FL) and front right
(FR), surround left (SL) and surround right (SR), surround back left (SBL) and surround back right (SBR)) is less than 2 ft (60 cm).
Preparations:
Measure the distances between the listening position and the speakers (L1 to L6 on the diagram at
the right).
L1: Distance between center speaker and listening position
L2: Distance between front speakers and listening position
L3: Distance between surround speakers and listening position
L4: Distance between surround back speakers and listening position
L5: Distance between subwoofer and listening position
L6: Distance between surround back L and surround back R
