SPEAKERS SETUP
The home theater system you already have installed should function
provided that there are left, center and right front speakers, left and
right rear/surround speakers and a subwoofer. For best results we
recommend that all front speakers be of the same type, with identical
or similar driver units. This will deliver smooth pans across the front
sound stage as the action moves from side to side.
Your center channel speaker is very important as over 80 % of the
dialog from a typical motion picture emanates from the center channel.
It should possess similar sonic characteristics to the main speakers.
Rear channel speakers need not be identical to the front channel
speakers, but they should be of high quality.
One of the benefits of both Dolby Digital (AC-3) and DTS is that
surround channels are discrete full range, while they were frequency
limited in earlier Pro Logic type systems.
Bass effects are an important part of home theater. For optimal
enjoyment a subwoofer should be used as it is optimized for low
frequency reproduction. If you have full range front speakers,
however, they may be used in place of a subwoofer with proper setting
of the switches in the menu system.
If possible, mount the surround speakers on the walls to the sides of
the viewing area, 2-3 feet above seated viewers, firing straight across
at each other.
SPK SIZE (Speake size)
This menu enters the information about which type of speakers will be
used for each channel.
In turn, these settings will determine which speakers receive low
frequency information.
For the purpose of establishing proper bass reproduction, use the
LARGE settings if the speaker being used at any position is a
traditional full-range loudspeaker that is capable of reproducing sound
below 100 Hz and you are not using a subwoofer.
Use the SMALL setting for smaller, frequency-limited speakers that are not
able to reproduce sounds below 100Hz and you are using a subwoofer.
Low frequencies will be diverted from the speaker to the subwoofer.
Note that when small speakers are used it is advisable to install a
separate subwoofer, especially if you wish to appreciate the full
impact of a good home theater soundtrack.
If the Surround speakers or Center speaker will not be used, set
NONE for each speaker. The NONE setting will send the audio for the
surround channels or Center channel to the front left/right speakers.
