• After you have installed this unit and connected all the components, you should adjust the speaker settings for the optimum
sound acoustics according to your environment and speaker layout.
Setting the type of speakers
The composition of the signals output from the different channels and the frequency reponse are adjusted automatically
according to the combination of speakers actually being used.
Adjusting the speaker settings
Select “Large” or “Small” not according to the actual size
of the speaker but according to the speaker’s capacity for
playing low frequency (bass sound below frequency set for
the Crossover Frequency mode and below) signals.
Large : Select this when connecting speakers that can
fully reproduce sounds below crossover
frequency(*) of your speaker.
Small : Select this when connecting speakers that cannot
fully reproduce sound below crossover frequency.
When this setting is selected, sound below
crossover frequency is assigned to the subwoofer
or speakers which are set to “Large”(when not
using a subwoofer).
None : Select this when no speakers are connected.
When this is selected, sound is sent to the front
speakers.
Yes / None : Select the desired depending on whether a
subwoofer is connected or not.
(*) : Crossover frequency is the frequency (Hz) below which the
bass sound of each main speakers is to output from the
subwoofer or from speakers which are set to “Large” (when not
using a subwoofer).
Refer to the operating instructions of the speakers to be connected.
If the frequency range of your speaker is 80 Hz ~ 12 KHz, the
crossover frequency is 80 Hz.
If you do not know, try comparing the sound at both settings
(setting the volume to a level low enough so as not to damage the
speakers) to determine the proper setting.
Speaker distance settings
When enjoying 5.1 channel surround playback with Dolby Digital and DTS sources, it is ideal that the center and surround
speakers should be the same distance from the main listening position as the front speakers. By entering the distance between
the listening position and each speaker, the delay times of center and surround speakers are automatically adjusted to create
an ideal listening environment virtually as if the center and surround speakers were at their ideal locations respectively as
below:
