Speaker/Output Setup
—Continued
The settings in the Speaker Crossover sub-menu can be
configured for both “Main A” and “Main B.”
Front L/R, Center, Surr L/R, Surr Back
Specify a threshold frequency in Hz for bass sounds
from each speaker to be output from the subwoofer.
When no subwoofer is used, (Speaker A) Front L/R is
automatically set to “Full Band,” and bass sounds from
each speaker are output from the front speakers. You
can also set other speakers to “Full Band.”
You can specify the frequency at 10 Hz increments
between 40-150 Hz. When using a THX-Select-certified
speaker system, specify the setting of
80 Hz (THX)
(default).
• If you specify the frequency of the front speakers
between 40-150 Hz, you cannot select “Full Band”
for the other speakers.
• For any speaker that is not available or set to “Not
Used” in the Speaker Configuration sub-menu, no
associated setting item is displayed.
• If “Surr Back” is set to “Bi-Amp for Front” on the
Speaker Configuration sub-menu, no item for
surround back speakers is displayed.
LPF of LFE (setting of the low-pass filter for
LFE)
Specify the low-pass filter for LFE (Low Frequency
Effect).
The low-pass filter passes through only the signal
components below the specified frequency, eliminating
the unwanted noise.
You can specify the frequency at 10 Hz increments
between 40-150 Hz.
SW Mode (Subwoofer Mode)
This item is displayed when a subwoofer is used (any
item other than “Not Used” is selected for Subwoofer
on the Speaker Configuration sub-menu), and Front L/R
is set to “Full Band” on the Speaker Crossover sub-
menu. Set the sound from the subwoofer to any of the
following:
LFE only:
The subwoofer outputs only LFE (Low
Frequency Effect) information.
D. Bass:
The subwoofer outputs not only LFE (Low
Frequency Effect) factors but also bass sounds from the
front speakers.
Measure the distance between the listening position and
each speaker. Specifying the distance will synchronize
the speakers in terms of the time that sounds from each
speaker reach the listening position. This is an
important specification for you to enjoy realistic home
theater. The settings in the Speaker Distance sub-menu
can be configured for both “Main A” and “Main B.”
Perform the setup procedure below following the
operating instructions described on page 90.
1. Select the unit of distance from “Unit.”
You can select either “feet” or “meters.” The default
varies depending on the region.
2. Set the distance you measured. Enter all the values
for every speaker you connected.
• For any speaker that is not available or set to “Not
Used” in the Speaker Configuration sub-menu, no
associated setting item is displayed.
• If “Surr Back” is set to “Bi-Amp for Front” on the
Speaker Configuration sub-menu, no item for
surround back speakers is displayed.
When “feet” is selected:
Front L, Center, Front R, and Subwoofer can be set at
0.1 foot intervals in a range from 1.0 foot to 30.0 feet.
The default is 12.0 feet.
Surr R, Surr Back (or Surr Bk R and Surr Bk L), and
Surr L can be set at 0.1 foot intervals in a range from 1.0
foot to 30.0 feet. The default is 7.0 feet.
When “meters” is selected:
Front L, Center, Front R, and Subwoofer can be set at
0.03 meter intervals in a range from 0.30 meters to 9.00
meters. The default is 3.60 meters.
Surr R, Surr Back (or Surr Bk R and Surr Bk L), and
Surr L can be set at 0.03 meter intervals in a range from
0.30 meters to 9.00 meters. The default is 2.10 meters.
To configure the settings under the Notch Filter sub-
menu, a special measuring device is required. Usually,
leave these settings to their defaults, “Off.”
A notch filter cuts the signal of certain frequency ranges
and passes the rest of the signal through. Some
characteristics due to a room’s environmental elements,
including walls and smallness of the room, cause a
signal peak in certain low frequencies to occur
at the resonance frequency, resulting in a boomy sound.
The filter reduces the signal at these frequencies causing
the boomy sound.
To know which frequency the peak occurs at, use a low
frequency sine wave generator and SPL (Sound
Pressure Level) meter to check the frequency and the
notch value.
Notch Filter
Off (Default):
Select this setting when not applying the
notch filter.
On:
Select this setting when applying the notch filter.
Frequency
When setting “Notch Filter” above to “On,” the notch
filter becomes effective at the frequency you specify
here. With your measuring device, the frequency value
can be set at 1 Hz intervals in a range from 20 Hz to
300 Hz. The default is 100 Hz.
