When connecting to an amplifier/receiver to enjoy multi-channel surround sound, use the following settings on this unit if they cannot be set on
the amplifier/receiver.
Speaker presence and size ( A)
1 Press [ 3, 4, 2, 1] to select the speaker icon (A) and press
[ENTER].
2 Press [ 3, 4] to select the setting and press [ENTER].
Icon examples:
Surround speaker (LS)
≥Large: Select when the
speaker supports
low-frequency (under
100 Hz) reproduction.
≥Small: Select when the speaker does not support low-frequency
reproduction.
When playing discs recorded with Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD, even if
you select “Small”, audio output will have an effect similar to when
“Large” is selected.
In order to make an ideal listening environment, settings of speaker
sizes may be automatically adjusted.
For example, if the subwoofer is set to “No”, the front speakers will
automatically be set to “Large”. (In this case, we recommend
connecting a speaker that can reproduce bass below 100 Hz.)
Delay time ( B)
(Effective when playing multi-channel audio)
(Center, surround and surround back speakers only)
For optimum listening with 7.1/5.1-channel sound, all the speakers,
except for the subwoofer, should be the same distance from the
seating position.
If you have to place the center, surround and surround back speakers
closer to the seating position, adjust the delay time to make up for the
difference.
If either distance D or F is less than E, find the difference in the
relevant table and change to the recommended setting.
1 Press [ 3, 4, 2, 1] to select the delay time box (B) and press
[ENTER].
2 Press [ 3, 4] to select the setting and press [ENTER].
Channel balance ( C)
(Effective when playing multi-channel audio)
This does not work when connected with HDMI terminals and “HDMI
Audio Output” (➜ above, “HDMI” tab) is set to “On”.
