Settings (Speaker Setup)
After you have installed this receiver and connected all the
components, you should adjust the speaker settings for the
optimum sound acoustics according to your environment and
speaker layout.
When you change speakers, speaker positions, or the layout of
your listening environment, you should adjust the speaker
settings, too.
Speaker Configuration (CONFIG)
You should select the size of the speakers that are connected.
Press the SELECT button (
5 or b) to select “CONFIG”, then
press the ENTER button. Press the SELECT button (
5 or b) to
select each speaker, then press the SELECT button (
g or t)
to set the size.
Depending on your speaker type, you should select one of the
following speaker types:
L (Large): Select this when connecting speakers that can fully
reproduce sounds below crossover frequency.
S (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 “L (Large)” (when not using a
subwoofer).
N (None): Select this when no speakers are connected. When
this is selected, sounds are sent to the speakers
which are not set to “N (None)”.
Y (Yes)/N (No):
Select “Y (Yes)” when a subwoofer is connected.
Select “N (No)” when a subwoofer is not used.
< When speakers are set to “S (Small)”, you should set their
crossover frequency correctly according to their frequency
characteristics.
< When “SUB-W” is set to “N (No)”, “FRONT” is automatically
set to “L (Large)”.
< When the “FRONT” is set to “S (Small)”, “CENTER” and
“SURR” cannot be set to “L (Large)”.
About speaker size
< Select “L (Large)” or “S (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.
Speaker distance (DISTANCE)
You should enter the distance between the listening position
and each speaker to set the delay time automatically for
optimum surround playback.
When enjoying multi-channel surround playback with Dolby
Digital and DTS sources, etc., 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.
Press the SELECT button (
5 or b) to select “DISTANCE”,
then press the ENTER button. Press the SELECT button (
5 or
b) to select the desired item, then press the SELECT button
(
g or t) to set the selected item as desired.
< You cannot select the subwoofer and the speakers set to “N
(None or No)”.
When selecting the desired unit:
< You can select either “M (Meter)” or “F (Feet)”. Once
selected, the distances are automatically changed in the
selected unit.
When setting the distance:
< You can set the distance within the range of 0.0 to 9.0
meters in 0.3 meter intervals (or 1 to 30 feet in 1 feet
intervals).
Crossover frequency
You should select the crossover frequency.
When speakers are set to “S (Small)”, be sure to set their
crossover frequency correctly according to their frequency
characteristics.
When speakers are set to “S (Small)”, low frequencies in
those channels that are below the crossover frequency are to
output from subwoofer or front speakers set to “L (Large)”
(when not using a subwoofer).
Press the SELECT button (
5 or b) to select “X-OVER”, then
press the ENTER button. Press the SELECT button (
g or t) to
set the crossover frequency as desired.
< You can adjust the crossover frequency within the range of
40 to 200 Hz in 10 Hz steps.
< Refer to the operating instructions of the speakers to be
connected. If the frequency range of your speaker is 100 to
20 kHz, the crossover frequency should be set to 100 Hz (or
slightly higher).
