English

Basic settings

To obtain the best possible sound effect from Surround/DSP modes (see pages 34 to 39), you need to set up the speaker and subwoofer information after all the connections are completed. From pages 16 to 25, how to set speakers and other basic items of the receiver are explained.

Setting the speaker information automatically—Smart Surround Setup

The distance from your listening point to the speakers is one of the important elements to obtain the best possible sound effect from the Surround/DSP modes. By using Smart Surround Setup, the following are automatically calculated by one simple action—clapping hands.

• Speaker distance (compared to that of the closest speaker)

• Speaker output level (except the subwoofer)

When operating the receiver using the remote control, set the mode selector to “AUDIO/TV/VCR/DBS.”

Take your position where you listen to the sound.

• Make sure speaker cables are connected firmly.

NOTES

• Before starting Smart Surround Setup, set the speaker information correctly (SMALL, LARGE, or NO) according to your speakers except the subwoofer (see page 21).

• The speakers which are set to “NO” in the speaker setting (see page 21) are not indicated clearly on the TV screen.

• When the setting is made by Smart Surround Setup, the speaker distance and output level you have set before will be inactive.

•You can see the setting process on the TV screen and the display during Smart Surround Setup. If you have turned off the display, cancel the Dimmer (see page 15); otherwise, you cannot see the information on the display.

• Smart Surround Setup will not be done correctly if you or other object blocks the sound.

• When you change your speakers, do the following procedure again.

In this section, the on-screen display on the TV screen is used for explaining.

• The on-screen display does not appear on the TV screen when connecting the TV through the COMPONENT MONITOR OUT jacks (see page 10).

Press and hold SMART SURROUND SETUP until “SETTING UP” flashes.

*1 L: Left front speaker *2 C: Center speaker *3 R: Right front speaker *4 RS: Right surround speaker *5 SB: Surround back speaker *6 LS: Left surround speaker

When “CLAP YOUR HANDS.” appears, clap your hands over your head once while the indications still remain.

• On the display, “SETTING UP” stops flashing.

The receiver starts detecting the level of the sound coming through each speaker (except the subwoofer).

When your clapping sound is detected successfully,

• On the TV screen, “SUCCESSFUL,” “RESULT,” and the setting values appear. The setting values are shown for about 12 seconds.

Ex.:

When your clapping sound is not detected correctly,

“SETTING UP” appears again after one of the following messages. In this case, repeat step

SILENT: • The receiver detects sound from only the left

and right front speakers.

• The receiver detects no sound from the front speakers and detects sound from at least one of other speakers.

SILENT-ALL: The receiver cannot detect any sound from any

speaker for about 10 seconds.

AGAIN: • The receiver cannot detect sound from the left

or right front speaker.

• The receiver fails to calculate the speakers' output level and difference of each speaker's position in distance.

English

• On the display, “SUCCESSFUL” appears, then the setting values are shown as follows for about 12 seconds:

Ex.:

*7 Standard channel (the closest speaker).

This speaker position now works as the reference position (“0m/ft”) and other speakers’ distance is shown by the difference with this reference speaker position.

*8 Difference of each speaker position in distance (in

meters or feet).

*9 Each speaker’s output level (–6 to +6).

When finishing to show the setting values,

On the TV screen, “COMPLETED” appears, then “TEST TONE” and “END” appear. On the display, “TEST? END?” appears.

•To adjust the speakers’ output levels manually, press TEST TONE (see page 29).

•To disappear the on-screen display, press SET or any button except TEST TONE.

• The receiver returns to normal operation mode automatically if no operations are done for about 10 seconds.

Ex.:

In the following cases, set the speakers manually.

• When “SILENT” appears twice in succession.

The setting is partially made. (The distance of the speakers from which sound has not been detected is set to “+9.0m (+30ft).”) The receiver exits from Smart Surround Setup.

• When “MANUAL” appears.

The receiver fails to detect the sound three times. The receiver exits from Smart Surround Setup.

To cancel Smart Surround Setup, press SMART SURROUND SETUP while “SETTING UP” flashes.

• No other operations can be accepted after “SETTING UP” stops flashing. Complete the Smart Surround Setup.

To check the current setting made by Smart Surround Setup,

press SMART SURROUND SETUP while the receiver is in normal operation mode. The setting values appear. On the display, the setting values are shown one after another.

• The current setting is not indicated but “MANUAL” appears if you change the following settings after using Smart Surround Setup: – If you change speaker distance manually. – If you change one of the speaker sizes either from “NO” to

“SMALL” or “LARGE,” or from “SMALL” or “LARGE” to “NO.” To check the current setting, see each setting item of the speaker distance (see page 22) and the speaker output level (see page 29).

• If you have not used Smart Surround Setup, “NO S.S.S.” appears.

NOTES

• The speaker distance and output level manually set will be applied instead of those set by using Smart Surround Setup in the following cases: – When you change one of the speaker distance (see page 22). – When you change one of the speaker size either from “NO” to

“SMALL” or “LARGE,” or from “SMALL” or “LARGE” to “NO” (see page 21).

• When you want to adjust the speaker distance and output level manually, see pages 22 and 29.

• When the headphone is in use or “DVD MULTI” is selected as the source, the receiver returns to normal operation mode without showing “TEST TONE.”

• Do not clap your hands so hard that it may hurt your hands.

7 Setting the speaker distance

The distance from your listening point to the speakers is one of the important elements to obtain the best possible sound effect from the Surround/DSP modes. By referring to the speaker distance, the receiver 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 Smart Surround Setup on pages 16 and 17, this setting is not required.
