Hooking Up and Setting Up the Speaker System
p Front speaker roll off frequency
FRONT SP > XXXHz
Initial setting : > 80 Hz
This setting lets you select the roll off frequency for the
low cut filter of the front (left and right) speakers when
the front speakers are set to “SMALL”.
The bass frequencies lower than the cut off frequency
are divided by the bass redirection circuitry and output
from the sub woofer or other “LARGE” speakers. In
order to prevent clipping, frequencies below the cut off
frequency are not output from the front speakers.
p Center speaker roll off frequency
CENTER SP > XXXHz
Initial setting : > 80 Hz
This setting lets you select the roll off frequency for the
low cut filter of the center speaker when the center
speaker is set to “SMALL”.
The bass frequencies lower than the cut off frequency
are divided by the bass redirection circuitry and output
from the sub woofer or other “LARGE” speakers. In
order to prevent clipping, frequencies below the cut off
frequency are not output from the center speaker.
p Rear speaker roll off frequency
REAR SP > XXXHz
Initial setting : > 80 Hz
This setting lets you select the roll off frequency for the
low cut filter of the rear (left and right) speakers when the
rear speakers are set to “SMALL”.
The bass frequencies lower than the cut off frequency
are divided by the bass redirection circuitry and output
from the sub woofer or other “LARGE” speakers. In
order to prevent clipping, frequencies below the cut off
frequency are not output from the rear speakers.
z
About the roll off frequency parameters
These parameters are designed to allow you to prevent clipping
by eliminating output of low-bass frequencies from “SMALL”
speakers. Be sure to set the roll off frequency so that clipping
does not occur from the respective speaker.
p LFE high cut filter
LFE HIGH CUT [STD]
Initial setting: STD (=120 Hz)
This setting lets you select the cutoff frequency of the LFE
channel High Cut Filter. Normally, select STD.
When using a passive sub woofer powered by a separate
power amplifier, it may be better to change the cutoff
frequency. In this case, use a setting other than STD.
p Distance unit
DIST.UNIT [meter]
Initial setting : meter
Lets you select either feet or meters as the unit of measure for
setting distances. 1 foot corresponds to a 1 ms difference.

You can output the test tone from the speaker of your choice
Normally, the test tone is output from each speaker in sequence.
However, you can use the LEVEL menu to output the test tone
from one specific speaker (see page 40). After you have touched
TEST TONE, touch +/– repeatedly to select “fix [XXX]” or “[xxx]
fix”. The test tone is output from the selected speaker.
