Settings for the system
(SYSTEM menu)
You can use the SYSTEM menu to set the size
and distance of the speakers connected to this
system.
Select “7-SYSTEM” in the amplifier menus.
For details on adjusting the parameters, see
“Navigating through menus” (page 34) and
“Overview of the menus” (page 35).
SYSTEM menu parameters
The default setting for models of area code U,
CA is “ft.” and for models of other area code is
“m”.
x SW SPK (Sub woofer)
• YES
If you have connected a sub woofer, select
“YES”.
• NO
If you have not connected a sub woofer,
select “NO”. This activates the bass
redirection circuitry and outputs the LFE
signals from other speakers.
Tip
In order to take full advantage of the Dolby Digital
bass redirection circuitry, we recommend setting the
sub woofer’s cut off frequency as high as possible.
x FRT SPK (Front speakers)
• LARGE
If you connect large speakers that will
effectively reproduce bass frequencies,
select “LARGE”. Normally, select
“LARGE”. When the sub woofer is set to
“NO”, the front speakers are automatically
set to “LARGE”.
• SMALL
If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of
surround effects when using multi channel
surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate
the bass redirection circuitry and output the
front channel bass frequencies from the sub
woofer. When the front speakers are set to
“SMALL”, the center, surround, and
surround back speakers are also
automatically set to “SMALL” (unless
previously set to “NO”).
x CNT SPK (Center speaker)
• LARGE
If you connect a large speaker that will
effectively reproduce bass frequencies,
select “LARGE”. Normally, select
“LARGE”. However, if the front speakers
are set to “SMALL”, you cannot set the
center speaker to “LARGE”.
• SMALL
If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of
surround effects when using multi channel
surround sound, select “SMALL” to activate
the bass redirection circuitry and output the
center channel bass frequencies from the
front speakers (if set to “LARGE”) or sub
woofer.
• NO
If you have not connected a center speaker,
select “NO”. The sound of the center
channel will be output from the front
speakers.
