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 11 are correct.
1 Select ‘Speaker Setting’ from the Manual SP
Setup menu.
2 Choose the set of speakers that you want to set
then select a speaker size.
Use / (cursor left/right) 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 front speakers).
• Surround – 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 front speakers or a
subwoofer).
• 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 .
• 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).
Note
• If you selected Second Zone or Front Bi-Amp (in
Surround back speaker setting on page 40) you can’t
adjust the surround back settings.
• If you select SMALL for the front speakers the
subwoofer will automatically be fixed to YES . Also,
the center and surround 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 select one surround back speaker only, make
sure that speaker is hooked up to the left surround
back terminal.
• If you’re using a THX speaker setup, confirm that all
speakers are set to SMALL .
3 When you’re finished, press RETURN.
You will return to the Manual SP Setup menu.
Tip
• 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 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.
