x Subwoofer selection (SUB W.)
• If you connect a subwoofer, select “YES”.
• If you do not connect a subwoofer, select
“NO”.
• In order to take full advantage of the Dolby
Digital bass redirection circuitry, we
recommend setting the subwoofer’s cut off
frequency as high as possible.
x Front speaker distance (F.DIST.)
Set the distance from your listening position to
the front (left or right) speaker (A on page 10).
x Center speaker distance (C.DIST.)
Set the distance from your listening position to
the center speaker (B on page 10).
x Rear speaker distance (R.DIST.)
Set the distance from your listening position to
the rear (left or right) speaker (C on page 10).
Tip
This unit allows you to input the speaker position in
terms of distance. However, it is not possible to set
the center speaker further than the front speakers.
Also, the center speaker cannot be set more that
1.5 meters closer than the front speakers.
Likewise, the rear speakers can not be set farther
away from the listening position than the front
speakers. And they can be no more than 4.5 meters
closer.
This is because incorrect speaker placement is not
conducive to the enjoyment of surround sound.
Please note that, setting the speaker distance closer
than the actual location of the speakers will cause a
delay in the output of the sound from that speaker. In
other words, the speaker will sound like it is farther
away.
For example, setting the center speaker distance
1–2 m closer than the actual speaker position will
create a fairly realistic sensation of being “inside” the
screen. If you cannot obtain a satisfactory surround
effect because the rear speakers are too close, setting
the rear speaker distance closer (shorter) than the
actual distance will create a larger soundstage.
Adjusting these parameter while listening to the
sound often results in much better surround sound.
Give it a try!
