(Settings of the surround back
speaker(s))
• OFF
If you have not connected surround back
speakers, select “OFF.”
• BI-AMP
If you connect front speakers in a bi-
amplifier configuration, select “BI-AMP.”
Note
Set “Sur Back Assign” to “OFF,” then connect the
surround back speakers to this receiver when you
want to change the connection from a bi-amplifier
connection to a surround back speakers connection.
Re-set up the speakers after you connect the
surround back speakers. Refer to “Auto Calibration”
(page 43) or “Manual Setup” (page 71).
x Crossover Freq
(Speaker crossover frequency)
Lets you set the bass crossover frequency of
speakers that has been set to “SMALL” in the
Speaker menu. Measured speaker crossover
frequency is set for each speaker after the auto
calibration.
The adjusted value is set for each speaker
when you adjust the speaker crossover
frequency using “Crossover Freq” after the
auto calibration.
x Multi Ch SW Level
(Multi-channel sub woofer level)
Lets you increase the level of the MULTI
CHANNEL INPUT sub woofer channel signal
by +10 dB. This adjustment may be necessary
when connecting a DVD player to the MULTI
CHANNEL INPUT jacks.
The sub woofer level from DVD players is 10
dB lower than that of Super Audio CD players.
x D.Range Comp
(Dynamic range compressor)
Lets you compress the dynamic range of the
soundtrack. This may be useful when you want
to watch movies at low volumes late at night.
Dynamic range compression is possible with
Dolby Digital sources only.
• OFF
The dynamic range is not compressed.
• STD
The dynamic range is compressed as
intended by the recording engineer.
• MAX
The dynamic range is compressed
dramatically.
Tips
• Dynamic range compressor lets you compress the
dynamic range of the soundtrack based on the
dynamic range information included in the Dolby
Digital signal.
• “STD” is the standard setting, but it only enacts
light compression. Therefore, we recommend
using the “MAX” setting. This greatly compresses
the dynamic range and lets you view movies late at
night at low volumes. Unlike analog limiters, the
levels are predetermined and provide a very natural
compression.
x Distance Unit (Distance unit)
Lets you select the unit of measure for setting
distances.
• meter
The distance is displayed in meters.
• feet
The distance is displayed in feet.
