ENGLISH BASS MIX • The bass mix setting is only valid when "LARGE" is set for the front speakers and "YES" is set for the subwoofer at stereo playback . • When the "BOTH" is selected, the low frequency signal range of "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 "MIX" 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. 2-2 SPEAKER DISTANCE Use this parameter to specify the distance of each speaker's position from the listening position. The delay time is automatically calculated according to these distances. Begin by determining the ideal or most commonly used seating position in the room. This is important for the timing of the acoustics to create the proper sound space that the SR7300 and today's sound systems are able to produce. Note that the speakers that you selected "None" for in the Speaker Config sub-menu will not appear here. (There are several useful books and special DVD and LD's available to guide you through proper home theater configuration. If you are unsure, have your Marantz dealer perform the installation for you. They are trained professionals familiar with even the most sophisticated custom installations. Marantz recommends the WWW.CEDIA.ORG website for further information about this). 2 - 2 SPEAKERS D I STANCE F RONT L : 1 0 f t F RONT R : 1 0 f t C EN T ER : 10 f t SURR . L : 10 f t SURR .
