Speaker System setting.

Speaker Setting

Use this setting to specify your speaker configuration (size,

number of speakers). It is a good idea to make sure that the

settings made in Automatically setting up for surround sound

(MCACC) on page 16 are correct.

Select ‘Manual SP Setup’ from the Home Menu.

Select ‘Speaker Setting’ from the Manual SP Setup

menu.

Choose the set of speakers that you want to set then

select a speaker size.

Use / to select the size (and number) of each of the

following speakers:

• Front – Select LARGE if your front speakers reproduce

bass frequencies effectively, or if you didn’t connect a

subwoofer. Select SMALL to send the bass frequencies to

the subwoofer.

• 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 other speakers).

• Front Height – Select LARGE if your front height

speakers reproduce bass frequencies effectively. Select

SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or

subwoofer. If you didn’t connect front height speakers

choose NO.

You can only adjust the Front Height setting when Pre

Out Setting is set to Height.

• 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 other speakers).

• Surr. Back – Select the number of surround back

speakers you have (one, two or none). Select LARGE if

your surround back speakers reproduce bass frequencies

effectively. Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the

other speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect

surround back speakers choose NO.

You can only adjust the Surr. Back setting when Pre

Out Setting is set to Surr. Back.

If you select one surround back speaker only, make sure

that additional amplifier is hooked up to the PRE OUT L

(Single) terminal.

• Subwoofer – LFE signals and bass frequencies of

channels set to SMALL are output from the subwoofer

when YES is selected (see notes below). Choose the PLUS

setting if you want the subwoofer to output bass sound

continuously or you want deeper bass (the bass

frequencies that would normally come out the front and

center speakers are also routed to the subwoofer). If you

did not connect a subwoofer choose NO (the bass

frequencies are output from other speakers).

When you’re finished, press RETURN.

You return to the Manual SP Setup menu.

Note

•Only the Front and Center speakers and Subwoofer

settings can be adjusted when the Speaker System

setting is set to Speaker B.

• If you select SMALL for the front speakers, the subwoofer

will automatically be fixed to YES. Also, the center,

surround, surround back and front height 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.

• If the surround speakers are set to NO, the surround back

speakers will automatically be set to NO.

• If you have a subwoofer and like lots of bass, it may seem

logical to select LARGE for your front speakers and PLUS

for the subwoofer. This may not, however, yield the best

bass results. Depending on the speaker placement of

your room you may actually experience a decrease in the

amount of bass due to low frequency cancellations. In

this case, try changing the position or direction of

speakers. If you can’t get good results, listen to the bass

response with it set to PLUS and YES or the front speakers

set to LARGE and SMALL alternatively and let your ears

judge which sounds best. If you’re having problems, the

easiest option is to route all the bass sounds to the

subwoofer by selecting SMALL for the front speakers.

X.OVER

• Default setting: 100Hz

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.

• For more on selecting the speaker sizes, see Speaker

Setting on page 28.

Select ‘Manual SP Setup’ from the Home Menu.

Select ‘X.OVER’ from the Manual SP Setup menu.

Choose the frequency cutoff point.

Frequencies below the cutoff point will be sent to the

subwoofer (or LARGE speakers).

When you’re finished, press RETURN.

You return to the Manual SP Setup menu.
