Setting the Speaker Distance

The distance from your listening point to the speakers is another
important element to obtain the best possible sound of the Surround
and DSP modes. Set the distance from your listening point to the
speakers.
By referring to the speaker distance setting, this unit automatically
sets the delay time of the sound through each speaker so that sounds
through all the speakers can reach you at the same time.
• If you have used Quick Speaker Setup on page 23, this setting is
not required.

Setting the Bass Sounds

You can adjust subwoofer and bass sounds precisely according to
your preference.
7 Subwoofer output—S WFR OUTPUT
You can select the type of the signal which can be transmitted
through the subwoofer. In other words, you can determine
whether or not the bass elements of the front speaker channels
are transmitted through the subwoofer regardless of the front
speaker size setting (either "SMALL" or "LARGE").

LFE: Select to transmit only the LFE signals (while
playing Dolby Digital and DTS software) and
the bass elements of small speakers through the
subwoofer.
LFE+MAIN: Select to always add the bass elements of the
front speaker channels (MAIN) to the above
(LFE) setting, and to transmit them through the
subwoofer.
Note:
If you have selected "NO" for the subwoofer, this function is not
available.

for the small speakers used.
