Surround back channel is enabled only when the unit is connected
to an amplifier/receiver supporting HDMI 7.1 channel audio.
[BD-V]: If the original audio is 5.1ch DTS-HD or DTS, the remapping
function is activated to divide it to 7.1ch.
Speaker presence and size (A)
1 Press [3, 4, 2, 1] to select the speaker icon (A) and press [OK].
2 Press [3, 4] to select the setting and press [OK].
Icon examples:
Surround speaker (LS)
≥Large:
Select when
the speaker
supports
low-frequency (under 100 Hz) reproduction.
≥Small:
Select when the speaker does not support
low-frequency reproduction.
In order to make an ideal listening environment, settings of speaker
sizes may be automatically adjusted.
For example, if the subwoofer is set to "No", the front speakers will
automatically be set to "Large". (In this case, we recommend
connecting a speaker that can reproduce bass below 100 Hz.)
Delay time (B)
For optimum listening with 7.1/5.1-channel sound, all the speakers,
except for the subwoofer, should be the same distance from the
seating position.
If you have to place the center, surround and surround back
speakers closer to the seating position, adjust the delay time to
make up for the difference.
If either distance D or F is less than E, find the difference in the
relevant table and change to the recommended setting.
1 Press [3, 4, 2, 1] to select the delay time box (B) and press
[OK].
2 Press [3, 4] to select the setting and press [OK].
