Page 24 “Multi control menus and factory settings”. 

Use the MULTI CONTROL menus to change the settings.  

Set the size so that the speakers can adequately reproduce the bass range.

The following are set automatically.

• When you set “

” to “

”, “

SUB-WFR 

” is set to “

YES 

”.

• When you set “

SUB-WFR 

” to “

” is set to “

LARGE 

”.

By setting the distance between the speaker’s position (except the
subwoofer) and the listener’s seating position, the sound delay time is
automatically adjusted so that sound reaches the listener at the same
time. 

If the Front speakers are set to “

SMALL 

”, make this setting.

Change the cut-off if the bass from the front speakers is unsatisfactory so
that this bass is output through the subwoofer.

This is displayed when you set “

BI-WIRE 

” in “Bi-wiring settings”. Select

this when you connect bi-wire compatible front speakers.
You can adjust HF (high frequency) and LF (low frequency) output
balance from the bi-wired speakers. You can also adjust the sound delay
time to offset the difference in HF and LF output directions.
