Tips • The "LARGE" and "SMALL" settings for each speaker determine whether the internal sound processor will cut the bass signal from that channel. When the bass is cut from a channel, the bass redirection circuitry sends the corresponding bass frequencies to the subwoofer or other "LARGE" speakers. However, since bass sounds have a certain amount of directionality, it is best not to cut them, if possible. Therefore, even when using small speakers, you can set them to "LARGE" if you want to output the bass frequencies from that speaker. On the other hand, if you are using a large speaker, but prefer not to have bass frequencies output from that speaker, set it to "SMALL". If the overall sound level is lower than you prefer, set all speakers to "LARGE". If there is not enough bass, you can use the equalizer to boost the bass levels. For details, see page 59. • The surround back speakers will be set to the same setting as that of the surround speakers. • When the front speakers are set to "SMALL", the center, surround, and front high speakers are also automatically set to "SMALL". • If you do not use the subwoofer, the front speakers are automatically set to "LARGE". x FL DIST., FR DIST., CNT DIST., SL DIST., SR DIST., SB DIST., SBL DIST., SBR DIST., LH DIST., RH DIST., SW DIST. Lets you adjust the distance from your seating position to each speaker (front left/right, center, surround left/right, surround back left/ right, front left/right high, subwoofer). If both front speakers are not placed in equal distance from your seating position, set the distance to the closest speaker. Notes • Depends on the speaker pattern setting, some parameters may not be available. • This function does not work when "A. DIRECT" is selected. x DIST.UNIT Lets you select the unit of measure for setting distances. • METER The distance is displayed in meters. • FEET The distance is displayed in feet. x FRT CRS., CNT CRS., SUR CRS., FH CRS. Lets you set the bass crossover frequency of the speakers that have been set to "SMALL" in the SPEAKER menu. SURROUND menu x EFFECT Lets you select the effect type for "HD-D.C.S.". Each effect type has different reflection and reverberation sound mixture levels and is optimized to match a listener's room uniqueness, taste and mood. • DYNAMIC Want to enjoy the sound effects to the full extent, just like at the movie theaters? DYNAMIC type emphasizes on the reflection sound. Without HD-D.C.S., many rooms are often somewhat reverberant but lack a spacious feeling. This type acoustically opens up those types of rooms and provides a spacious and dynamism feeling equivalent to a mastering studio. • THEATER THEATER type mixes reflection and reverberation sound creating the characteristics of a mastering studio. Additionally, this type mixes in frequency characteristics that are often found in professional studios and movie theaters. It is ideal for watching movies in a listening room that has less reverberation. • STUDIO In STUDIO type, effects are kept to a minimum, while still providing a great theater experience. This type provides the accuracy of the original recording. 58GB
