Receiver settings

These settings allow you to suit the receiver to the environment you
are using it in and to suit equipment you connect to it. Before making
any changes, read the following descriptions, note the factory settings
and ranges, and refer to the instructions for the other equipment.
These settings remain intact until you change them, even after the
power is turned off.
Setting descriptions
SIZE
Change these settings only if you replace the included speakers.
LARGE: For speakers that can reproduce a full sound range, particu-
larly the bass range below 100 Hz.
SMALL: This is the factory setting and the optimum setting for the in-
cluded speakers. This setting is sufficient for most speakers
if you are using a subwoofer.
NONE: For speakers you haven't connected (center or surround).
If you disconnect the subwoofer (SUB-WFR), select NO. Otherwise,
leave the setting as YES.
DISTANCE
Enter the distance of the speakers from the seating position so that the
sound from all the speakers (except for the subwoofer) reaches you at
the same time.
You can select distances between 3 and 30 feet at one-foot intervals.
The factory settings are: Front and center: 10 FEET
Surround:
FILTER
Change this setting only if you replace the included speakers. You can
change the cut-off for the bass output from the front speakers.
The optimum setting for these speakers is 150 Hz.
DR COMP—Dynamic range compression
Change this setting to listen to software at low volume (such as late at
night) and maintain audio clarity. This setting works with Dolby Digital
software. It reduces the peak level in loud scenes without affecting the
sound field.
OFF: The software is played with the original dynamic range
(factory setting).
STANDARD: The level recommended by the producer of the soft-
ware for household viewing.
MAX: The maximum allowable compression (recommended
for night viewing).
D-INPUT—Digital input
Change these settings to suit the connections you have made to the
three digital input terminals, COAX, OPT1, and OPT2 (á page 16), so
that the correct source is selected when you turn [INPUT SELECTOR]
(á page 25).
The factory settings are: CD:
DVD: OPT2
TV:
DIMMER
This setting allows you to dim the receiver's display for better viewing
in a darkened room.
The factory setting is OFF (normal brightness).
