The System Setup and Other Setup menus

! Center – Select LARGE if your center speaker reproduces bass frequencies effectively, or select SMALL to

send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect a center speaker, choose NO

(the center channel is sent to the front speakers).

! Surr – Select LARGE if your surround speakers reproduce bass frequencies effectively. Select SMALL to send

bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect surround speakers choose NO (the

sound of the surround channels is sent to the front speakers or a subwoofer).

If you select NO for the subwoofer, the front speakers will automatically be fixed to LARGE. Also, the center and

surround speakers can’t be set to LARGE if the front speakers are set to SMALL. In this case, all bass frequencies

are sent to the subwoofer.

3 Select ‘X. OVER’ and set the crossover frequency.

Frequencies below this point will be sent to the subwoofer (or LARGE speakers).

! This setting decides the cutoff between bass sounds playing back from the speakers selected as LARGE, or

the subwoofer, and bass sounds playing back from those selected as SMALL. It also decides where the cutoff

will be for bass sounds in the LFE channel.

! With Full Auto MCACC setup or Auto MCACC setup (ALL or Speaker Setting), the setting here will not

apply and the crossover frequency will be automatically set. Crossover frequency is a frequency aimed at

achieving the optimal sound field taking into account the bass capacity of all connected speakers and human

aural characteristics.

4 When you’re finished, press RETURN.

You will return to the Manual SP Setup menu.

Channel Level

Using the channel level settings, you can adjust the overall balance of your speaker system, an important factor

when setting up a home theater system.

1 Select ‘Channel Level’ from the Manual SP Setup menu.

The test tones will start.

2 Adjust the level of each channel using k/l.

Use i/j to switch speakers.

Adjust the level of each speaker as the test tone is emitted.

! If you are using a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter, take the readings from your main listening position and

adjust the level of each speaker to 75 dB SPL (C-weighting/slow reading).

3 When you’re finished, press RETURN.

You will return to the Manual SP Setup menu.

Speaker Distance

For good sound depth and separation from your system, you need to specify the distance of your speakers from

the listening position. (When Dolby Enabled Speaker is used, specify the distance reached by the speaker sound

reflected at the ceiling (page 25 ).) The receiver can then add the proper delay needed for effective surround sound.

1 Select ‘Speaker Distance’ from the Manual SP Setup menu.

2 Adjust the distance of each speaker using k/l.

You can adjust the distance of each speaker in 1/2 inch Increments.

3 When you’re finished, press RETURN.

You will return to the Manual SP Setup menu.

Note

For best surround sound, make sure the surround back speakers are the same distance from the listening

position.

X-Curve

Most soundtracks mixed for cinema sound too bright when played back in large rooms. The X-Curve setting acts

as a kind of re-equalization for home theater listening, and restores proper tonal balance of movie soundtracks.

1 Select ‘X-Curve’ from the Manual SP Setup menu.

2 Choose the X-Curve setting you want.

Use k/l to adjust the setting. The X-Curve is expressed as a downwards slope in decibels per octave, starting

at 2 kHz. The sound becomes less bright as the slope increases (to a maximum of –3.0dB/oct). Use the following

guidelines to set the X-Curve according to your room size:

Room size (ft

)

≤400 ≤550 ≤650 ≤800 ≤3200 ≤12000

X-Curve

(dB/oct)

–0.5 –1.0 –1.5 –2.0 –2.5 –3.0

! If you select OFF, the frequency curve will be flat and the X-Curve has no effect.

3 When you’re finished, press RETURN.

MHL Setup

Select whether or not to switch the input automatically to the MHL input when an MHL-compatible device is

connected.

! Default setting: ON

1 Press MAIN RECEIVER to switch the remote control to the receiver operation mode, and

then press HOME MENU.

A Graphical User Interface (GUI) screen appears on your TV. Use i/j/k/l and ENTER to navigate through the

screens and select menu items. Press RETURN to exit the current menu.

! Press HOME MENU at any time to exit the HOME MENU.

2 Select ‘System Setup’ from the HOME MENU, then press ENTER.

3 Select ‘MHL Setup’ from the System Setup menu.

6 Select ‘OK’, then press ENTER.
