Speaker Distance
For good sound depth and separation from your system,
you need to specify the distance of your speakers from
the listening position. The receiver can then add the
proper delay needed for effective surround sound.
1 Select ‘Speaker Distance’ from the Manual SP Setup
menu.
2 Adjust the distance of each speaker using the /
buttons.
You can adjust the distance of each speaker in 0.5 feet
increments.
3 When you’re finished, press RETURN.
You will return to the Manual SP Setup menu.
Tip
• For best surround sound, make sure the surround
back speakers are the same distance from the
listening position.
Bass Peak Level
Some audio sources (for example, Dolby Digital and DTS)
include ultra-low bass tones. Set the bass limiter as
needed to prevent the bass from distorting the sound.
1 Select ‘Bass Peak Level’ from the Manual SP Setup
menu.
The current setting is displayed. When OFF is displayed
the attenuator is off (bass output is not affected).
2 Select a setup option.
• Setting Start – The volume is set to –60dB, a test
tone plays back and you make the setting.
• Setting Clear – Clears any previous setting and
switches limiting off.
3 If you selected ‘Setting Start’, use / to adjust
the test tones and specify the bass peak level then press
ENTER
.
Note
1 • If you are using a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter, take the readings from your main listening position and adjust the level of each speaker to 75 dB
SPL (C-weighting/slow reading).
• The subwoofer test tone is output at low volumes. You may need to adjust the level after testing with an actual soundtrack.
