x
Center speaker crossover frequency
(CENTER SP > XXX Hz)
Lets you adjust the center speaker bass
crossover frequency when the center speaker is
set to “SMALL”.
x
Surround speaker crossover frequency
(SURROUND SP > XXX Hz)
Lets you adjust the surround speaker bass
crossover frequency when the surround
speakers are set to “SMALL”.
x
Surround back speaker crossover
frequency (SURR BACK SP > XXX Hz)
Lets you adjust the surround back speaker bass
crossover frequency when the surround back
speaker is set to “SMALL”.
Note
You can set the FRONT, CENTER, SURROUND
and SURR BACK parameters when the speaker size
is set to “SMALL”.
x
LFE high cut filter (LFE HIGH CUT >
XXX Hz)
Lets you select the cut off frequency of the
LFE channel high cut filter. Normally, select
“STD”. When using a passive sub woofer
powered by a separate power amplifier, it may
be better to change the cut off frequency.
x
Sub woofer phase polarity (S.W
PHASE)
Set the sub woofer phase polarity. There is
usually no problem when the sub woofer phase
polarity is set to “NORMAL”. However,
depending on the type of front speakers, the
position of the sub woofer, and the cut-off
frequency of the sub woofer, setting the phase
polarity to “REVERSE” may produce better
bass. Besides bass reproduction, the richness
and tightness of the overall sound may also be
affected. While listening from the main
listening position, select the setting that best
suits your environment.
Multi channel surround setup
(continued)
Tip
The receiver allows you to input the speaker position
in terms of distance. However, it is not possible to set
the center speaker further than the front speakers.
Also, the center speaker cannot be set more than
1.5 meters (5 feet) closer than the front speakers.
Likewise, the surround and surround back speakers
can not be set farther away from the listening position
than the front speakers. And they can be no more than
4.5 meters (15 feet) closer.
This is because incorrect speaker placement is not
conducive to enjoy surround sound.
Please note that, setting the speaker distance closer
than the actual location of the speakers will cause a
delay in the output of the sound from that speaker. In
other words, the speaker will sound like it is farther
away.
For example, setting the center speaker distance
1~2 m (3~6 feet) closer than the actual speaker
position will create a fairly realistic sensation of being
“inside” the screen. If you cannot obtain a satisfactory
surround effect because the surround speakers are too
close, setting the surround speaker distance closer
(shorter) than the actual distance will create a larger
sound stage.
Adjusting these parameter while listening to the
sound often results in much better surround sound.
Give it a try!
x
Distance unit (DISTANCE UNIT)
Lets you select either feet or meters as the unit
of measure for setting distances.
x
Front speaker crossover frequency
(FRONT SP > XXX Hz)
Lets you adjust the front speaker bass crossover
frequency when the front speakers are set to
“SMALL”.
