Mix) appears, select On or Off in the same way as step 4.
(If you set the subwoofer to Off in step 4, skip step 8.)
• To output the bass from the subwoofer in any mode
by setting the Front speakers to Large, set SW Re-
Mix to On. SW Re-mix transmits part of the bass tone
of all speakers to the subwoofer in all modes.
SW Re-Mix is not activated when the left and right Front
speakers are set to Normal.
To abort setup, press the Music key, Movie key, Home key
or Back key.

below. Press the Home key to quit setting and return to
the normal operation screen.
When the Front speakers are set to Normal, the Center and
Surround speakers can be set exclusively to Normal (or Off).
When the Subwoofer is set to Off, the Front speakers are set
automatically to Large. It is not possible to select Normal.

SP Level

Now position yourself in the listening position of your AV
room and adjust the balance between the volume levels of
all speakers, except for the subwoofer, by actually listening
to them (for the level of the subwoofer, see below). You
need to set all the speakers to the same levels in order to
enjoy the realistic, widely expanding surround sound.
1. Minimize external noise in the listening room.
2. Position yourself in a place where you usually listen to
music or view video.
3. Increase the receiver's main volume to "-25 dB". (To im-
prove the adjustment accuracy, it is effective to set the
volumes at a slightly loud volume.)
4. In step 8 of the speaker selection procedure above, se-
lect Next.

5. Test noise is generated from the front left speaker. Lis-
ten to the volume of the noise carefully.
The test noise moves from a speaker to the next speaker
every about 2 seconds. The test noise does not move
while a control is manipulated.
6. Listen to the test noise level carefully. If the noise level
from the center speaker differs from that from the front
left speaker, press the or key to make the noise
level equal. (Do not adhere to the displayed volume lev-
els because they are provided for mere references. Use
your own ears to check if the levels from two speakers
are identical or not.)
7. Set the reproduce levels of all the speakers in the system
in the same way as above.
8. Press the Next key to proceed to the "SP Distance" set-
ting below. Press the Home key to quit setting and re-
turn to the normal operation screen.
Adjusting the subwoofer level:
Human sense of audition tends to recognize the test noise
from the subwoofer at a lower level than actual (the test
noise from the subwoofer has been designed for use when
an acoustic pressure meter is used in the balance adjust-
ment). It is therefore difficult to adjust the subwoofer level
by listening to the test noise through human ears.
To adjust the subwoofer level, play a musical tune you are
accustomed to or a movie containing large amount of bass
and adjust the level until you feel that the balance with other
speakers is obtained.
