SPEAKER CONFIGURATION, DELAY TIME & DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL
SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
It is important to configure your speakers correctly in
order to get the most from your AV Receiver. This
versatile AV Receiver provides the flexibility to
experience multi-channel surround sound without a
center speaker. However, for best results with Dolby
Pro Logic II, DTS and Dolby Digital decoding, at
least 5 speakers (Left, Center, Right, Left Rear and
Right Rear) should be used. (Note: As with all
surround sound configurations, we recommend the
use of a Subwoofer speaker to fully experience the
Low Frequency Effect encoded into most of today's
DVD movies).
BASS MODE
There are 2 preset speaker configurations based on
the size of your speakers.
Default is Mode 1.

Mode1 Small Small
Mode2 Large Small
Press BASS MODE to select one of the 2 modes
according to your speaker's size.
(Note: Large speakers can fully reproduce low
frequencies of below 80Hz. Small speaker cannot
reproduce low frequencies of below 80Hz with
sufficient volume.
specifications to select the correct size).
DELAY TIME
The delay time can be individually set for the Dolby
Digital/Dolby Pro Logic II modes using the DELAY
(CENTER/REAR) buttons.
When you adjust the delay time in the Dolby Digital
mode, an additional 15 ms is automatically added to
the surround channels in the Dolby Pro Logic mode.
The current setting is shown on the display.

In the surround modes, the sound from the speakers
should be delayed slightly, relative to that from the
front speakers.
The optimum delay time will depend on acoustic
properties, whether the walls and furnishings reflect
or absorb sound, etc.
It is recommended that you try different delay times
to obtain the best effect. The delay is digitally
synthesized.

DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL
This button controls the compression range of sound
track. If the compression is large (DRC = 4/4), the
sound effect is retarded to a certain range. As a
result, sound effect is not as excited as normal range
DRC = 0/4). It is useful when you want to movies at
the late night.
Press DYNAMIC on remote control repeatedly
until the desired compression range reached.
