Advanced Setup - Part 2 A subwoofer with sufficient low frequency playback capability can better handle deep bass than most main and surround speakers, and the system's overall performance will be greatly enhanced when SMALL is set for the main (front) and surround speakers. When "Front" is set to "Small", "Subwoofer" is automatically set to "Yes", and when "Subwoofer" is set to "No", "Front" is automatically set to "Large". 2 Assignment of low frequency signal range •The only signals produced from the subwoofer channel are LFE signals (during playback of Dolby Digital or DTS signals) and the low frequency signal range of channels set to "Small" in the setup menu. The low frequency signal range of channels set to "Large" are produced from those channels. Advanced Setup - Part 2 1 Press the CURSOR D or H button to select the "Distance" at the "Speaker Setup" menu, then press the ENTER button. • The "Distance" screen appears. Setting the low frequency distribution • Set the subwoofer mode according to the speaker system being used. • Select the play mode that provides bass reproduction with body. 1 Press the CURSOR D or H button to select the "Subwoofer Setup" at the "Speaker Setup" menu, then press the ENTER button. • The "Subwoofer Setup" screen appears. 2 Subwoofer Setup •The subwoofer mode setting is only valid when and "Yes" is set for the subwoofer in the "Speaker Configuration" settings ( page 75). •When the input signal is analog or a PCM signal not including LFE signals, if "LFE" is selected, the low frequency component is not output from the subwoofer. To output the subwoofer channel, select "LFE+Main". Setting the Distance • Input the distance between the listening position and the different speakers to set the delay time for the surround mode. 2 Press the CURSORF or G button to select the desired unit, "Meters" or "Feet". • The "Distance" screen appears automatically. Example: When "Feet" is selected Preparations: Measure the distances between the listening position and the speakers (L1 to L10 on the diagram at the below). FL C FR 2 Press the CURSOR F or G button to select the setting. LFE: For any channel(s) that are set to LARGE, low frequencies in that channel's corresponding source are directed to that loudspeaker only. Low frequencies that are directed to the subwoofer(s) are from the program source LFE channel, and from other channels where the speakers are set to SMALL. LFE+Main: Low frequencies from speaker channels that have been set to LARGE are reproduced from those speakers as well as from the subwoofer(s). Depending upon the characteristics of the LARGE main speakers, this mode may provide a more even low frequency response throughout the listening room. 3 Press the ENTER button to enter the setting. • The "Speaker Setup" menu reappears.
