x SB SPK (Surround back
speaker)
When the surround speakers are set to “NO”,
the surround back speaker is also
automatically set to “NO” and the setting
cannot be changed.
• YES
If you have connected a surround back
speaker, select “YES”.
• NO
If you have not connected a surround back
speaker, select “NO”.
Tip
The “LARGE” and “SMALL” settings for each
speaker determine whether the internal sound
processor will cut the bass signal from that channel.
When the bass is cut from a channel, the bass
redirection circuitry sends the corresponding bass
frequencies to the sub woofer or other “LARGE”
speakers.
However, since bass sounds have a certain amount of
directionality, it is best not to cut them, if possible.
Therefore, even when using small speakers, you can
set them to “LARGE” if you want to output the bass
frequencies from that speaker. On the other hand, if
you are using a large speaker, but prefer not to have
bass frequencies output from that speaker, set it to
“SMALL”.
If the overall sound level is lower than you prefer, set
all speakers to “LARGE”. If there is not enough
bass, you can use the equalizer to boost the bass
levels. For details, see page 43.
x FRT DIST. (Front speaker
distance)
Lets you set the distance from your listening
position to the front speakers (A). If both
front speakers are not placed an equal distance
from your listening position, set the distance as
the average distance between the front
speakers.
x CNT DIST. (Center speaker
distance)
Lets you set the distance from your listening
position to the center speaker. Center speaker
distance should be set from a distance equal to
the front speaker distance (A) to a distance
1.5 meters closer to your listening position
(B).
x SL DIST. (Surround left speaker
distance)
Lets you set the distance from your listening
position to the surround left speaker. Surround
left speaker distance should be set from a
distance equal to the front speaker distance
(A) to a distance 4.5 meters closer to your
listening position (C).
x SR DIST. (Surround right
speaker distance)
Lets you set the distance from your listening
position to the surround right speaker.
Surround right speaker distance should be set
from a distance equal to the front speaker
distance (A) to a distance 4.5 meters closer to
your listening position (D).
