Phase (Subwoofer phase)
Use this feature to switch the phase of your subwoofers if bass
sounds are lacking or unclear.
Bass Out (Bass out)
Use this feature to select the speakers that output the LFE (low-
frequency effect) and the low-frequency signals.
THX Ltd. recommends that “Bass Out” to “SWFR”.
LFE signals output
Low-frequency signals output
*1 Output(s) the low-frequency signals of the front channels and other
speakers set to “Small”.
*2 Always output the low-frequency signals of the front channels.
*3 Output the low-frequency signals if the speakers are set to “Large”.
*4 Outputs the low-frequency signals of the speakers set to “Small” or
“None”.
■ Speaker Distance (Speaker distance)
Use this feature to manually adjust the distance of each speaker and the
delay applied to the respective channel. Ideally, each speaker should be
the same distance from the main listening position. However, this is not
possible in most home situations. Thus, a certain amount of delay must
be applied to the sound from each speaker so that all sounds will arrive
at the listening position at the same time.
Speaker distances
Control range: 0.30 to 24.00 m (1.0 to 80.0 ft)
Initial setting: 3.00 m (10.0 ft)
Control step: 0.05 m (0.2 ft)
y
If your subwoofer can adjust the output volume and the crossover frequency,
set the volume to about half way (or slightly less) and set the crossover
frequency to the maximum.
• The available speaker channels differ depending on the setting of the
speakers.
• If you are only using one surround back speaker, connect it to the
SUR.BACK SINGLE jack, and adjust the distance in “Surround Back L”.
