• If retrying the procedure dose not fix the
problem, turn off the power and check the
speaker or microphone connections.
8 Press the MEMORY/ENTER button to view
the results.
• Check the results on each setup menu
(SPEAKER CONFIGURATION,
SPEAKER DISTANCE, SPEAKER
X-OVER, and CH LEVEL menu for
“REFERENCE 1" mode). See the
following procedures for more information.
• If the results are not satisfactory, you can
retry the auto setup procedure or
personalize your speaker setup and
channel level setup by making the settings
manually. See the following procedures
for more information.
Modifying the speaker configuration
Use the speaker configuration menu to select
the size of each speaker. Select large or small
not according to the actual size of the speaker
but according to the speaker's capacity for
playing low frequency (bass sound below
frequency set on the “X-OVER” menu) signals.
If you do not know, try comparing the sound at
both settings (setting the volume to a level low
enough so as not to damage the speakers) to
determine the proper setting.
Depending on the speaker type, you can select
one of the following:
• LARGE—Select this when connecting
speakers that can fully reproduce sounds
below crossover frequency.
• SMALL—Select this when connecting
speakers that cannot fully reproduce sounds
below crossover frequency. When this is
selected, sounds below crossover frequency
are sent to the subwoofer or speakers which
are set to LARGE when not using a
subwoofer.
• NONE— this when no speakers are
connected. When this is selected, sounds are
sent to the speakers which are not set to
NONE.
• YES/NONE—Select depending on whether a
subwoofer is connected or not.
Modifying the speaker distance
Use the speaker distance menu to select the
distance between the listening position and each
speaker to set the delay time for optimum
surround playback.
Modifying the speaker crossover
You can adjust the crossover frequency within
the range of 40 ~ 130 Hz in 10 Hz intervals.
When speakers are set to SMALL, low
frequencies in those channels that are below the
crossover frequency to output from the
subwoofer or front speakers which are set to
LARGE (when not using a subwoofer).
Refer to the operating instructions of the
speakers to be connected. If the frequency
range of your speaker is 100 Hz~20 kHz, the
crossover frequency should be set to 100 Hz (or
slightly higher).
Adjusting the current channel level
After adjusting each channel level with test tone,
adjust the channel levels either according to the
program sources or to suit your tastes.
You can adjust the current channel levels as
desired. These adjusted levels are memorized
into user’s memory (CALI), not into preset
memory (REF 1 and REF 2). For more
information about REF 1 and REF 2, see
“Memorizing the adjusted channel levels” on
page 21.
To adjust the current channel level:
1 Press the CHANNEL LEVEL button.
The memory mode (CAL) is displayed for
several seconds. When the memory mode or
channel level disappears, you can press this
button again.
2 Press the select or buttons to select the
channel.
Note
• Because the test tones are very loud, make
sure that there no infants or small children in
the room.
• It is possible to lower the volume of the test
tones, but this could result in incorrect speaker
settings.
• For best results, make sure that the room is as
quiet as possible during the auto setup
procedure. If there is too much ambient noise,
the results may not be satisfactory.
Notes
• When speakers are set to SMALL, you should
set their crossover frequency correctly
according to their frequency characteristics.
(For details, refer to “Modifying the speaker
crossover” on page 20.)
• When SUBWOOFER is set to NONE, FRONT
is automatically set to LARGE.
• When the FRONT is set to SMALL, CENTER
and SURROUND cannot be set to LARGE.
Notes
• You cannot select the speakers set to NONE.
• When setting the distance, you can set the
distance within the range of 0 ~ 30 feet in 1 foot
intervals.
• When enjoying multi-channel surround
playback with Dolby Digital and DTS sources, it
is ideal that the center, surround, and
subwoofer speakers should be the same
distance from the main listening position as the
front speakers. By entering the distance
between the listening position and each
speaker, the delay times of center, surround,
and subwoofer speakers are automatically
adjusted to create an ideal listening
environment virtually as if the center, surround,
and subwoofer speakers were at their ideal
locations respectively.
