Adjusting the speaker settings
• 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.
• There are two kinds of speaker settings for speaker size and speaker distance.
Speaker size settings
Select the corresponding settings depending on the sizes of the connected speakers and whether the speakers
are connected or not.
• Depending on your speaker type, you can select
one of these following settings.
Large : Select this when connecting speakers that can
fully reproduce sounds below 120 Hz.
Small : Select this when connecting speakers that cannot
fully reproduce sounds below 120 Hz.
When this is selected, sounds below 120 Hz are
sent to the subwoofer or the front speakers
depending on whether the subwoofer setting is
Yes or No.
None : Select this when no speakers are connected.
When this is selected, sounds are sent to the front
speakers.
Yes / No : Select the desired depending on whether a
subwoofer is connected or not.
Speaker distance settings
When enjoying 5.1 channel surround playback with Dolby Digital and DTS sources, etc., 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.)
