Center speaker distance setting

• Default setting: 3 m
The center speaker is normally placed directly
in the front of the listening room and closer to
the listening position than the front speakers.
This means that the sound from the center
speaker will be heard before the front speakers.
To prevent this, set the center speaker distance
setting to delay the sound from the center
speaker so that the sound from the front and
center speakers will be heard at the same time.
Use ' or ' to set the distance of the
•
center speaker from the main listening
position (within a range of 0.1 m to 9.0 m).
When C is selected in the speaker setting,
the center distance can't be set.
Surround speaker distance
setting
• Default setting: 3 m
Like the center speaker, you should set the
distance of the surround speakers accurately to
hear sounds coming from both front and
surround speakers at the same time.
Use ' or ' to set the distance of the
•
surround speakers from the main listening
position (within a range of 0.1 m to 9.0 m).
When S is selected in the speaker setting,
the surround distance can't be set.

Subwoofer distance setting

• Default setting: 3 m
Like your speakers, you should set the distance
of your subwoofer accurately to hear sounds
coming from all speakers at the same time.
Use ' or ' to set the distance of the
•
subwoofer from the main listening position
(within a range of 0.1 m to 9.0 m).
When NO is selected in the subwoofer
setting, the subwoofer distance can't be set.

Dynamic range control setting

• Default setting: OFF
Dynamic range is the difference between the
loudest and softest sounds in any given signal.
With this setting, you can compress the
dynamic range, so that low level sounds can be
heard more easily (sounding relatively louder)
yet louder sounds won't be too overbearing.
Press ' or ' to set the dynamic range
•
control (OFF, MAX, or MID).
• When listening at low volumes, set to
MAX for maximum dynamic range compres-
sion.
• Dynamic range control is effective only
when a Dolby Digital signal is being played
back.
