Connecting the subwoofer speaker

By connecting a subwoofer, you can enhance the bass or reproduce the original LFE signals recorded in the digital software. Connect the input jack of a powered subwoofer to the SUBWOOFER OUT jack on the rear panel, using a cable with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).

• Refer also to the manual supplied with your subwoofer.

Note:

• You can place a subwoofer wherever you like since bass sound is non-directional. Normally place it in front of you.

To obtain the best possible sound from this system, place all the speakers except the subwoofer at the same distance from the listening position with each speaker’s front faced toward the listener. Then, change the subwoofer and speaker settings to fit your listening conditions (see pages 22 to 24).

• You can set the speakers quickly according to the number of speakers you have connected. See “Setting Speakers Quickly” on page 21.

another important element to obtain the best possible surround sound from the Surround modes. Set the distance from your listening point to the speakers. By referring to the speaker distance setting, this unit automatically sets the delay time of the sound through each speaker so that sounds through all the speakers can reach you at the same time.

• If you have used Quick Setup (see page 21), this setting is not required.

Set the distance from the listening point within the range of

0.3 m (1 ft) to 9.0 m (30 ft), in 0.3 m (1 ft) intervals.

Notes:

•“10ft” is the initial setting.

• If you have selected “NO” for the center and surround speakers

setting, you cannot set the speaker distance for the center and surround speakers.

Select one of the following settings:

80Hz Select when the cone speaker unit built in the

speaker is about 12 cm (4

/4 inches).

100Hz Select when the cone speaker unit built in the

speaker is about 10 cm (3

/16 inches) (initial

setting).

120Hz Select when the cone speaker unit built in the

speaker is about 8 cm (3 3/16 inches).

Note:

• Crossover frequency is not valid for the HEADPHONE mode.

7 Low frequency effect attenuator

If the bass sound is distorted while playing back software encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS, set the LFE level to eliminate distortion.

• This function takes effect only when LFE signals come in.

English

7 Crossover frequency

“CROSS”

Small speakers cannot reproduce the bass sounds efficiently. If you use a small speaker in any position, this unit automatically reallocates the bass sound elements assigned to the small speaker to the large speakers. To use this function properly, set the crossover frequency level according to the size of the small speaker connected.

• If you have selected “LRG (large)” for all speakers, this function will not take effect.

Select one of the following settings:

0dB Normally select this (initial setting).

–10dB Select when the bass sound is distorted.

7 Dynamic range compression

“D.COMP”

You can compress the dynamic range (difference between maximum sound and minimum sound) of the reproduced sound. This is useful when enjoying surround sound at night.

• This function takes effect only when playing back a source encoded with Dolby Digital.

Select one of the following settings:

MID Select when you want to reduce the dynamic

range a little (initial setting).

MAX Select when you want to apply the compression

effect fully. (Useful at night.)

7 Tone

English

¶ For bass sound—“BASS”

¶ For treble sound—“TREBLE”

You can adjust the bass and treble sounds as you like.

Adjust the tone within a range of –10 dB to +10 dB in 2 step intervals (“0” is the initial setting).

7 Speaker output levels

¶ For subwoofer—“SUBWFR”

¶ For center speaker—“CENTER”

¶ For left surround speaker—“SURR L”

¶ For right surround speaker—“SURR R”

7 Subwoofer audio position

“AUDIO POS (position)”

You may feel subwoofer is reinforced when listening stereo sound. In this case, you can automatically change the subwoofer level properly when listening stereo sound.

• To adjust the subwoofer level, see the left column.

Select the automatic adjustment level from “0” to “–6” (in 2 step intervals).

If no adjustment is required, select “0” (initial setting). The smaller the number becomes, the more the level decreases automatically when listening in stereo.

• The A.POSITION indicator lights up when “AUDIO POS” is set to other than “0.”

Note:

• You cannot adjust “AUDIO POS” when “NO” or “NONE” (see pages 23 or 55) is selected for the subwoofer.

Adjusting sound from the remote control

• To adjust bass sound, press BASS + or –.

• To adjust treble sound, press TREBLE + or –.

• To adjust subwoofer, press SUBWFR + or –.

• To adjust center speaker, press CENTER + or –.

• To adjust left surround speaker, press SURR L + or –.

• To adjust right surround speaker, press SURR R + or –.

• To adjust the effect level (for DAP mode), press EFFECT.

• To adjust subwoofer audio position, press AUDIO POSITION.

You can adjust the speaker output levels for the activated speakers.

• You can adjust the output level for center and/or surround speakers only when one of the proper Surround modes is activated (see “Relation between Surround modes and adjustable items” on page 31).

Adjust the speaker output level within a range of –10 dB to +10 dB in 1 step intervals (“0” is the initial setting).

7 DAP effect level

“EFFECT”

While one of the DAP modes is activated (the DSP indicator lights up on the display), you can adjust the effect level. For details about DAP modes, see pages 28 and 29.

Adjust the effect level within a range of 1 to 5 (“3” is the initial setting).

About auto memory

This unit memorizes the settings for each source:

• when you turn off the power (see page 12),

• when you change the source (see page 12),

• when you change the source name (see page 13), and

• when you change the analog/digital input mode (see page 14).

When you change the source, the memorized settings for the newly selected source are automatically recalled. The following can be stored for each source:

• Analog/digital input mode (see page 14)

• Input attenuator mode (see page 15)

• Front speaker output balance (see page 26)

• Tone adjustment (see the left column)

• Speaker output level (see the left column)

• DAP effect level (see the left column)

• Surround mode selection (see page 30)

Note:

• If the source is FM or AM, you can assign a different setting for each band.
