NOTE:
•
Select “LARGE” or “SMALL” not according to the actual
size of the speaker but according to the speaker’s
capacity for playing low frequency (approximately 100 Hz
and below) signals. If you do not know, try comparing the
sound at both settings (setting the volume to a level low
enough so as not to damage the speakers) to determine
the proper setting.
Parameters
LARGE……. Select this when using speakers that can fully
reproduce low sounds of below 100 Hz.
SMALL…… Select this when using speakers that do not
provide sufficient volume for playing low
frequencies of 100 Hz and less. When this
setting is made, frequencies below the
frequency set at the subwoofer frequency
setting are assigned to the subwoofer.
NONE…….. Select this when no speakers are installed.
YES/NO…... Select “Yes” when a subwoofer is installed,
“No” when a subwoofer is not installed.
If the subwoofer has sufficient low frequency playback
capacity, good sound can be achieved even when
“Small” is set for the front, center and surround
speakers.
For the majority of speaker system configurations, using
the SMALL setting for all five main speakers and
Subwoofer On with a connected subwoofer will yield the
best results.
Subwoofer frequency (SW FREQ.)
•
For the subwoofer frequency at the speaker setting
screen, set the bass crossover frequency for playback
from the subwoofer.
•
Select “80 Hz”, “120 Hz”, “150 Hz” or “180 Hz” (-6 dB
for each). Bass sound below these frequencies is played
from the subwoofer.
(This is set to “120 Hz” by factory default.)
Assignment of low frequencies
•
In the Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS, and virtual
surround modes, the low frequency signals for channels
whose speaker settings are set to “Small” are assigned
to the subwoofer. The low frequencies of channels set
to “Large” are played from those channels.
(If set to “120 Hz”, channels set to “Small” play sounds
of 120 Hz and greater, while bass frequencies of under
120 Hz are played from the subwoofer.)
•
In surround modes other than the ones listed above, low
frequencies below the frequency set at the subwoofer
frequency setting are played from the subwoofer
regardless of whether the speakers are set to “Large” or
“Small”.
•
Set the subwoofer frequency according to the low
frequency playback abilities of your speakers and
subwoofer.
Subwoofer mode (SW MODE)
•
The subwoofer mode setting is only valid when
“LARGE” is set for the front speakers and “YES” is set
for the subwoofer in the “SPEAKER CONFIGURATION”
settings.
•
When the “LFE+MAIN” playback mode is selected, the
low frequency signal range of channels set to “LARGE”
are produced simultaneously from those channels and
the subwoofer channel.
In this playback mode, the low frequency range expand
more uniformly through the room, but depending on the
size and shape of the room, interference may result in a
decrease of the actual volume of the low frequency
range.
•
Selection of the “LFE ” play mode will play the low
frequency signal range of the channel selected with
“LARGE” from that channel only. Therefore, the low
frequency signal range that are played from the
subwoofer channel are only the low frequency signal
range of LFE (only during Dolby Digital or DTS signal
playback) and the channel specified as “SMALL” in the
setup menu.
•
Select the play mode that provides bass reproduction
with body.
•
When the subwoofer is set to “YES”, bass sound is
output from the subwoofer regardless of the subwoofer
mode setting in surround modes other than Dolby/DTS.
