Speaker Setting
Use this setting to specify your speaker configuration
(size, number of speakers and crossover frequency). It is
a good idea to make sure that the settings made in
Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC)
on
page 7 are correct.
1
Note that this setting applies to all
MCACC presets, and cannot be set independently.
1
Select ‘Speaker Setting’ from the Manual SP Setup
menu.
2
Choose the set of speakers that you want to set
then select a speaker size.
Use
/
to select the size (and number) of each of the
following speakers:
2
•
Front
– Select
LARGE
if your front speakers
reproduce bass frequencies effectively, or if you
didn’t connect a subwoofer. Select
SMALL
to send
the bass frequencies to the subwoofer.
•
Center
– Select
LARGE
if your center speaker
reproduces bass frequencies effectively, or select
SMALL
to send bass frequencies to the other
speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect a center
speaker, choose
NO
(the center channel is sent to
the front speakers).
•
Surround
– Select
LARGE
if your surround speakers
reproduce bass frequencies effectively. Select
SMALL
to send bass frequencies to the other
speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect
surround speakers choose
NO
(the sound of the
surround channels is sent to the front speakers or a
subwoofer).
•
Surr Back
– Select the number of surround back
speakers you have (one, two or none).
3
Select
LARGE
if your surround back speakers reproduce bass
frequencies effectively. Select
SMALL
to send bass
frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If
you didn’t connect surround back speakers choose
NO
.
•
Subwoofer
– LFE signals and bass frequencies of
channels set to
SMALL
are output from the
subwoofer when
YES
is selected. Choose the
PLUS
setting if you want the subwoofer to output bass
sound continuously or you want deeper bass (the
bass frequencies that would normally come out the
front and center speakers are also routed to the
subwoofer).
4
If you did not connect a subwoofer
choose
NO
(the bass frequencies are output from
other speakers).
3
Select ‘X. OVER’ and set the crossover frequency.
5
Frequencies below this point will be sent to the
subwoofer (or
LARGE
speakers).
4
When you’re finished, press RETURN.
You will return to the Manual SP Setup menu.
Channel Level
Using the channel level settings, you can adjust the
overall balance of your speaker system, an important
factor when setting up a home theater system.
1
Select ‘Channel Level’ from the Manual SP Setup
menu.
2
Select a setup option.
•
Manual
– Move the test tone manually from speaker
to speaker and adjust individual channel levels.

from speaker to speaker automatically.
3
Confirm your selected setup option.
The test tones will start after you press
ENTER
.
Note
1 If you’re using a THX speaker setup, set all speakers to
SMALL
.
2 If you select
SMALL
for the front speakers the subwoofer will automatically be fixed to
YES
. Also, the center and surround speakers can’t be set to
LARGE
if the front speakers are set to
SMALL
. In this case, all bass frequencies are sent to the subwoofer.
3 • If you selected
2nd Zone
or
Front Bi-Amp
(in
Surround back speaker setting
on page 37) you can’t adjust the surround back settings.
• If the surround speakers are set to
NO
, the surround back speakers will automatically be set to
NO
.
• If you select one surround back speaker only, make sure that speaker is hooked up to the left surround back terminal.

4 If you have a subwoofer and like lots of bass, it may seem logical to select
LARGE
for your front speakers and
PLUS
for the subwoofer. This may not,
however, yield the best bass results. Depending on the speaker placement of your room you may actually experience a decrease in the amount of bass
due low frequency cancellations. In this case, try changing the position or direction of speakers. If you can’t get good results, listen to the bass response
with it set to
PLUS
and
YES
or the front speakers set to
LARGE
and
SMALL
alternatively and let your ears judge which sounds best. If you’re having prob-
lems, the easiest option is to route all the bass sounds to the subwoofer by selecting
SMALL
for the front speakers.
5 • This setting decides the cutoff between bass sounds playing back from the speakers selected as
LARGE
, or the subwoofer, and bass sounds playing
back from those selected as
SMALL
. It also decides where the cutoff will be for bass sounds in the LFE channel.
• If you’re using a THX speaker setup, confirm that the crossover frequency is set to
80Hz
.
