Setting the speaker distance
The distance from your listening point to the speakers is one of the important elements to obtain the best possible sound effect from the Surround/DSP modes. By referring to the speaker distance, the receiver 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 Smart Surround Setup on page 14, this setting is not required. 7 Measuring unit�DIST UNIT Select which measuring unit you use. UNIT :meter UNIT : feet Select to set the distance in meters. Select to set the distance in feet.

Setting bass sound
Setting subwoofer output�SUBWFR OUT
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 �SML� or �LRG�). SW: LFE Select to emit only the LFE signals (while playing Dolby Digital and DTS software) or the bass elements of the �SML (small)� front speakers (while playing any source other than above). Select to always emit the bass elements of the front speaker channels (MAIN). While playing Dolby Digital and DTS software, the bass elements and the LFE signals are both emitted.

Initial setting: UNIT :meter 7 Speaker distance� FRNT L DIST (for the left front speaker), FRNT R DIST (for the right front speaker), CENTER DIST (for the center speaker), SURR L DIST (for the left surround speaker), SURR R DIST (for the right surround speaker) Adjustable range: 0.3 m to 9.0 m in 0.3 m intervals (1 ft to 30 ft in 1 ft intervals) Initial setting: 3.0 m (10 ft) for all speakers

SW:LFE+MAIN

Initial setting: SW: LFE NOTE When �SUBWOOFER� is set to �SUBWFR : NO� (see page 16), this function is not available.

Setting the crossover frequency�CROSS OVER

3.3 m (11 ft) 3.0 m (10 ft) 2.7 m (9 ft) 2.4 m (8 ft) 2.1 m (7 ft)

Small speakers cannot reproduce the bass sounds efficiently. If you use a small speaker in any position, this receiver automatically reallocates the bass sound elements assigned to the small speaker to the large speakers. To use this function properly, set this crossover frequency level according to the size of the small speaker connected. � If you have selected �LRG (large)� for all speakers (see page 16), this function will not take effect (�CROSS: OFF� appears). CROSS: 80Hz CROSS:100Hz Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 12 cm. Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 10 cm. Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 8 cm. Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is about 6 cm. Select when the cone speaker unit built in the speaker is less than 5 cm.

In this case, set the distance as follows: Left front speaker (L): �FL D : 3.0m (10ft)� Right front speaker (R): �FR D : 3.0m (10ft)� Center speaker (C): �C D : 3.0m (10ft)� Left surround speaker (LS): �LS D : 2.7m (9ft)� Right surround speaker (RS): �RS D : 2.7m (9ft)�

Initial setting: CROSS:150Hz NOTE

NOTES � You cannot set the speaker distance for the speakers you have set to �NO.� � If you change speaker distance, the distance and output level set manually will be applied instead of those set by Smart Surround Setup.

Crossover frequency is not valid for the HEADPHONE and 3D HEADPHONE modes.

Setting the low frequency effect attenuator�LFE ATT
If the bass sound is distorted while playing back software encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS, set the LFE level to eliminate distortion. � This function takes effect only when the LFE signals come in. LFE : 0dB LFE : �10dB Normally select this. Select when the bass sound is distorted.

Initial setting: LFE : 0dB
