Speaker Settings; Setting The Speakers Information Automatically-Smart Surround Setup - JVC RX-ES1SL Instructions For Use Manual

RX-ES1SL

Speaker settings

To obtain the best possible surround effect from Surround/DSP modes (see pages 26 to 31), you need to set up the speaker and subwoofer
information after all the connections are completed. You can set the speaker information using one of the following three methods.
Smart Surround Setup: Set the speakers information automatically by one simple action—clapping hands. The delay time and output level for
the center and surround speakers are set automatically.
Quick Setup: Set the speakers and subwoofer information quickly by entering the use of the subwoofer, the number of the speakers,
and your room size.
Manual Setup: Set the speakers and subwoofer information manually.
• Before starting the speaker setting, connect and position the speakers and subwoofer (see page 7) and turn on the receiver.
Setting the speakers information
automatically—Smart Surround Setup
The distance from your listening point to the speakers is one of the
important element to obtain the best possible sound effect for the
Surround/DSP modes.
You need to set the delay time of the center and surround speakers
relative to the front speakers so that sounds through all the speakers
can reach you at the same time (see also page 19).
By using Smart Surround Setup, the speaker delay time and output
level are automatically calculated by one simple action—clapping
hands.
• To set the speaker information effectively using Smart Surround
Setup, unplug the power cords of all the components connected to
this receiver such as a TV, DVD player, DBS tuner, and VCR which
may cause noise.
• To use Smart Surround Setup effectively, connect both the center
and surround speakers.
• You can also set the crossover frequency, the low frequency effect
attenuator and the dynamic range compression manually (see page
19).
• When you change your speakers, do the following steps again.

Confirm "SETTING UP" stops flashing and clap
your hands over your head once while "SETTING
UP" appears on the display.
The receiver starts detecting the level of the sound coming
through all speakers (except the subwoofer).
After detecting the sound, one of the following indications appears
on the display.
SUCCESSFUL: Sound of your clapping is successfully
detected. The receiver sets the delay time
and the output level of the center and
surround speakers automatically.
SILENT: The receiver cannot detect sound from some
speakers.
SILENT-ALL: The receiver cannot detect any sound from all
speakers.
FAILED: The receiver cannot detect both right and left
channels for the front and/or surround
speakers correctly.
• When the receiver cannot detect the sound correctly ("SILENT,"
"SILENT-ALL" or "FAILED" appears on the display), "SETTING
UP" appears on the display again then repeat step 3 .
• The speaker delay time and output levels are set automatically
when:
—the receiver detects the sound as "SILENT" twice in
succession.
—the receiver detects the sound as "SILENT" at the third time
after detecting "SILENT", "SILENT-ALL" and/or "FAILED"
twice.
• When the receiver detects the sound as "SILENT-ALL" or
"FAILED" three times, "MANUAL" appears on the display. Set
the speaker and subwoofer information using Quick Setup (see
page 17) or Manual Setup (see page 18), and the speakers'
output levels for the center and surround speakers (see pages
29 to 31).
To cancel Smart Surround Setup, press SMART S. SETUP while
"SETTING UP" flashes on the display.
• Any other operations cannot be done after "SETTING UP" stops
flashing. Complete the Smart Surround Setup.
NOTES
• You need to set the subwoofer information and output level
manually (see pages 18 and 22).
• When you use Smart Surround Setup, the speaker delay time and
output levels you have set before will be ineffective.
• Set the speakers information using Quick Setup (see page 17) or
Manual Setup (see page 18), and the speakers' output levels for the
center and surround speakers (see pages 29 to 31) when:
—you like to change the speaker setting made by Smart Surround
Setup
—Smart Surround Setup is not done correctly due to some factors
such as the environment, speaker types and clapping strength.
• Smart Surround Setup will not be done correctly if your body or
other object blocks the sound.
• Do not clap your hands hard because it may hurt your hands.
