Adjusting Settings Note When one of the sound fields for music is selected, no sound is output from the subwoofer if all the speakers are set to "Large" in the Speaker Settings menu. However, the sound will be output from the subwoofer if - the digital input signal contains LFE signals. - the front or surround speakers are set to "Small". - "Multi Stereo", "PLII Movie", "PLII Music", "PLIIx Movie", "PLIIx Music", "PLIIz Height", "HD-D.C.S." or "Portable Audio" is selected. To adjust the distance from the seating position to each speaker You can adjust the distance from the seating position to each speaker (front left/ right, front left/right high, center, surround left/right, surround back left/right, subwoofer). 1 Select the speaker on the screen for which you want to adjust the distance from the seating position, then press . 2 Select the parameter under "Distance", then press . 3 Set the distance of the selected speaker, then press . You can adjust the distance from 1 m 0 cm to 10 m 0 cm (3 feet 3 inches to 32 feet 9 inches) in 10 cm (1 inch) intervals. Notes • Depending on the speaker pattern setting, some parameters may not be available. • This function does not work when "Analog Direct" is being used. To adjust the size of each speaker You can adjust each speaker's (front left/ right, front left/right high, center, surround left/right, surround back left/right) size. 1 Select the speaker on the screen for which you want to adjust the size, then press . 2 Select the parameter under "Size", then press . 3 Set the size of the selected speaker, then press . • Large: If you connect large speakers that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select "Large". Normally, select "Large". • Small: If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of surround effects when using multi channel surround sound, select "Small" to activate the bass redirection circuitry and output the bass frequencies of each channel from the subwoofer or other "Large" speakers. Notes • Distance and Size cannot be set when headphones are connected. • This function does not work when "Analog Direct" is being used. 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 sound has a certain amount of directionality, it is best not to cut it, 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. • The surround back speakers will be set to the same setting as that of the surround speakers. 91US
