BASS MIX
• The bass mix setting is only valid when
“LARGE” is set for the front speakers and “YES”
is set for the subwoofer during stereo playback .
This setting has effect only during playback of
PCM or analog stereo sources.
• When “BOTH” is selected, the low frequencies
will be played through the main L&R, as well as
the subwoofer.
In this playback mode, the low frequency range
expand more uniformly through the room, but
depending on the size and shape of the room,
interference may result in a decrease of the
actual volume of the low frequency range.
• By selecting “MIX”, the low frequencies will play
through the main L&R ONLY.
Note:
• LFE signals during playback of Dolby Digital or
DTS, will be played through the subwoofer.
2-3 SPEAKERS DISTANCE
Use this parameter to specify the distance of each
speaker’s position from the listening position. The
delay time is automatically calculated according to
these distances.
Begin by determining the ideal or most commonly
used seating position in the room.
This is important for the timing of the acoustics to
create the proper sound space that the SR7500
and today’s sound systems are able to produce.
Note:
• For speakers that you have selected “NONE” the
Speaker Configuration sub-menu will not appear
here. (There are several useful books and special
DVD and LD’s available to guide you through
proper home theater configuration. If you are
unsure, have your Marantz dealer perform the
installation for you. They are trained
professionals familiar with even the most
sophisticated custom installations. Marantz
recommends the WWW.CEDIA.ORG website for
further information about this).
2-4 SPEAKERS LEVEL
Here you will set the volume for each speaker so
that they are all heard by the listener at the same
level. We recommend using a SPL (Sound
Pressure Level) meter, when available.
Note:
• The speaker level settings are not available in 7.1
channel input mode and Pure-Direct mode.
TEST MODE:
Selects “MANUAL” or “AUTO” for generating
the mode of the test tone with the or cursor
