the items to be set up.
1-1 SUB W MODE
The subwoofer mode setting takes effect only when
the front speaker has been set to FULL RANGE and
the subwoofer to YES.
This menu item setting takes effect only when PCM
or analog stereo source signals are played.
Tip
For the settings of each speaker, refer to “3.
SPEAKER/R.EQ SETUP” (page 21).
Press the 1/2 cursor buttons to select NORMAL or
SW PLUS+.
• NORMAL
The bass sound is reproduced through the main left
and right speakers only.
• SW PLUS+
The bass sound is reproduced through the main
left and right speakers and subwoofer. In this
playback mode, the bass sound disperses uniformly
throughout the entire room. However, depending
on the size and shape of the room, interference
may arise, reducing the actual volume level of the
bass sound.
1-2 HDMI AUDIO OUT
This menu item is used to set whether the audio
signals that have been input from the HDMI
terminal are to be reproduced through the speakers
connected to the unit or through the TV or projector
connected to the unit's HDMI OUT terminal.
Press the 1/2cursor buttons to select ON or OFF.
• OFF
The audio signals that have been input from the
HDMI terminal are reproduced through the unit.
In this case, sound audio signals will not be output
from the TV or projector connected to the unit's
HDMI OUT terminal.
• ON
The audio signals that have been input to the HDMI
terminal are not output from the unit's speaker
terminals. Instead, the audio data is output straight
to the TV or projector connected to the unit's HDMI
OUT terminal. This menu setting is used to listen to
sound through a TV with a multi-channel capability.
1-3 TONE CONTROL
This menu item is used to switch the tone controls
to ON or OFF and set the tone controls.
Press the 1/2 cursor buttons to select ON or OFF.
• OFF
The tone control function is disabled.
• ON
The tone control function is enabled.
If the ENTER button on the remote controller is now

Press the 3/4 cursor buttons to select BASS or
TREBLE. Then press the 1/2 cursor buttons to
increment or decrement the decibel values shown.
The tone controls can be adjusted in 1 dB steps up
to +/-10 dB.
After adjusting the tone controls, move the cursor
to RETURN TO SYSTEM SETUP, and press the
ENTER button.
Notes
The tone control function cannot be used in the
modes listed below.
• SOURCE DIRECT mode
1-4 HT-EQ
When movies are played using audio components
designed for the home, the treble range in their
sound tracks is boosted, sometimes producing
a somewhat shrill sound. This is because these
sound tracks are designed to be played in the very
large spaces inside movie theaters. However, if the
HT-EQ function is enabled when watching movies
designed for viewing at the movie theater, the
sound will be compensated so that the appropriate
tonal balance is attained.
Press the
1/2 cursor buttons to select ON or OFF.
The HT-EQ function cannot be used in the mode
listed below.
1-5 VIDEO CONVERT
This menu item is used to set the function for
up-converting the analog video signals (video and
component video signals) that are input to the unit
to HDMI output signals.
Press the 1/2 cursor buttons to select AUTO,
COMPONENT, CVBS or OFF.
• AUTO
With this menu item setting, when there are no HDMI
signals in the selected input function, the video or
component video signals are detected automatically
and up-converted to HDMI output signals.
When both video and component video signals have
been input, priority is given to up-converting the
component video signals.
• COMPONENT
With this menu item setting, the component video
signals that have been input to the unit are up-
converted to HDMI output signals.
• CVBS
With this menu item setting, the video signals that
have been input to the unit are up-converted to
HDMI output signals.
• OFF
With this menu item setting, the unit’s video-convert
function is shut down.
Notes
• Only HDMI input signals can be connected to
the BLU-RAY and GAME terminals on the unit's
rear panel, so the video-convert function will not
work.
• HDMI digital video signals cannot be down-
converted to analog video signals.
• The signals up-converted to HDMI output signals
are output without any processing at the resolution
of the analog video signals that were input.
When up-converting video or component video
signals with a 480i resolution, a video monitor
(TV set) supporting the 480i resolution must be
connected to the unit.
• Some analog video signals that are input to the
unit cannot be detected automatically.
In a case like this, select COMPONENT or CVBS,
and use the signals in a fi xed mode.
• When HDMI signals have been input, priority will
be given to the output of the HDMI signals, even
while the COMPONENT or CVBS fi xed mode is
set.
(The up-converted signals will not be output to
HDMI output signals.)
