ENGLISH
Speaker Size (SP Size)
Select the size (Large or Small) independently for the L/R
(front pair of speakers), the C (center speaker) and the SR/SL
(surround pair of speakers). Turn the subwoofer (SW) ON or
OFF (if you have no subwoofer).
Large
Select this when the connected speakers can fully reproduce
bass frequencies.
Small
Select this when the connected speakers are rather small and
cannot reproduce bass frequencies.
When this setting is selected, bass frequencies are output
from the subwoofer (if no subwoofer is connected, from the
front speakers).
OFF
Select this when no speaker is connected. The sound is
output from the front (or surround) speakers.
<
When the front speaker is set to “Small”, the subwoofer is
set to “ON” automatically. You cannot set the subwoofer
“OFF”.
ON (subwoofer only)
Select this when a powered subwoofer is connected.
< For the center and surround pair options, if these speakers are
not physically present, you can select OFF to prevent any
output from those channels (you cannot turn off the front L/R
pair). Any speakers turned off will down mix (if this option is
selected) to the other enabled channels.
<
Turning down mix on and off may affect the overall volume.
Speaker distance (Distance)
Ideally, the speakers should be placed so that they are all the
same distance from the listening position. If this is not
possible, you should use this method described here to adjust
them individually. It is also possible to adjust all distances
together. The point of these settings is to provide the best
synchronization between sound and image by delaying the
sound by an appropriate amount. The subwoofer is not
included in this setting (the placement of the subwoofer is
less critical than that of other speakers).
This setting has no effect on Super Audio CD.
The L/R setting changes the distance of all speakers together.
Pressing the up button adds 0.1m to each value, and pressing
the down button subtracts 0.1m from each value.
Distances are measured in meters (1 meter = just over 3 feet,
and 0.1 meter = about 4 inches).
Carry out this operation first before setting the other speaker
distances.
After setting the L/R, C and SR/SL speaker distances together,
you can now set the center and surround pair distances. The
minimum distance for these is 0m and the maximum is 9m,
with the additional restrictions described here.
<
The distance that you set for the center speaker cannot be
greater than the distance set for the L/R pair and must be
within 1.7m of that L/R distance.
So for example, if the distance to the L/R pair is set to 5.0m,
the center distance must be between 3.3m (5 - 1.7) and 5m.
<
The distance that you set for the SR/SL surround pair cannot
be greater than the distance set for the L/R pair (and must be
within 9m of that distance).
So with the L/R pair set at 5m, the SR/SL pair distance can be
set from 0m to 5m.
