To adjust the distance from the
seating position to each speaker
You can adjust the distance from the
seating position to each speaker (front left/
right, front high left/right, center, surround
left/right, surround back left/right,
subwoofer).
1 Select the speaker on the screen for
which you want to adjust the
distance from the seating position,
then press
.
2 Select “Distance”, then press V/v to
adjust the distance.
You can adjust the distance from
1 m 0 cm to 10 m 0 cm (3 feet 3 inches
to 32 feet 9 inches) in 1 cm (1 inch)
intervals.
• Depending on the speaker pattern setting, some
parameters may not be available.
• This function does not work when “2ch
Analog Direct” is being used.
To adjust the size of each
speaker
You can adjust each speaker’s (front left/
right, front high left/right, center, surround
left/right, surround back left/right) size.
1 Select the speaker on the screen for
which you want to adjust the size,
then press
.
2 Select “Size”, then press V/v to
adjust the size.
• Large: If you connect large speakers
that will effectively reproduce bass
frequencies, select “Large”. Normally,
select “Large”.
• Small: If the sound is distorted, or you
feel a lack of surround effects when
using multi channel surround sound,
select “Small” to activate the bass
redirection circuitry and output the
bass frequencies of each channel from
the subwoofer or other “Large”
speakers.
This function does not work when “2ch
Analog Direct” is being used.
• The “Large” and “Small” settings for each
speaker determine whether the internal sound
processor will cut the bass signal from that
channel.
When the bass is cut from a channel, the bass
redirection circuitry sends the corresponding
bass frequencies to the subwoofer or other
“Large” speakers.
However, since bass sound has a certain amount
of directionality, it is best not to cut it, if
possible. Therefore, even when using small
speakers, you can set them to “Large” if you
want to output the bass frequencies from that
speaker. On the other hand, if you are using a
large speaker, but prefer not to have bass
frequencies output from that speaker, set it to
“Small”.
If the overall sound level is lower than you
prefer, set all speakers to “Large”. If there is not
enough bass, you can use the equalizer to boost
the bass levels.
• The surround back speakers will be set to the
same setting as that of the surround speakers.
• When the front speakers are set to “Small”, the
center, surround, and surround back/front high
speakers are also automatically set to “Small”.
• If you do not use the subwoofer, the front
speakers are automatically set to “Large”.
• When headpones are connected, Size and
Distance cannot be set.
x Crossover Frequency
Lets you set the bass crossover frequency
of speakers that the speaker size has been
set to “Small” in the Speaker Settings
menu. Measured speaker crossover
frequency is set for each speaker after the
Auto Calibration.
1 Select the speaker on the screen for
which you want to adjust the
crossover frequency.
2 Press V/v to set the crossover
frequency.
• When headphones are connected, this function
does not work.
