Setting Up for Surround Sound SPEAKER SYSTEMS The following steps show you how to select the correct setup for the type and number of speakers you connected. Most importantly, you need to decide how to route the sound for all the speakers you connected. To do this select the size of the front, center, surround and surround back speakers (if you hooked them up). It is important to make these settings as accurately as possible or, in some cases, you may not get the full soundtrack from a disc. The auto setup from the microphone in the remote control may not properly assess the size of your speakers if there is background noise, from an air conditioner or refrigerator, for example. If necessary try different possible settings manually. Use the information below to complete the steps that follow and set up the receiver to match the speakers you have hooked up. Make sure the microphone is hooked up to the front panel and in the appropriate position before starting. See page 13 for more information on setting up the microphone. FRONT (default setting is SMALL) Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the subwoofer. Select LARGE if your speakers will reproduce bass frequencies effectively or if you did not connect a subwoofer. (If you select SMALL for the front speakers the subwoofer will automatically be switched YES. Also, the center and surround speakers cannot be set to LARGE if the front speakers are set to SMALL. In this case, all bass frequencies are sent to the subwoofer .) CENTER (default setting is SMALL) • Select LARGE if your speaker will reproduce bass frequencies effectively . • Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. • If you did not connect a center speaker, choose NO. In this case, the center channel is output from the front speakers. SURROUND (default setting is SMALL) • Select LARGE if your speakers will reproduce bass frequencies effectively . • Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. • If you did not connect surround speakers choose NO. In this case, the sound of the surround channels is output from the front and center speakers. • Remember, If you select SMALL for the front speakers, the surround and surround back speakers can only be set to SMALL. SURROUND BACK (default setting is SMALL X2) • Select the number of surround back speakers you have. You can choose one speaker, two, or none. • If you select one, make sure that speaker if hooked up to the left surround back terminal. • Select LARGE if your speakers will reproduce bass frequencies effectively . • Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. • If you did not connect surround back speakers choose NO. • If the front speakers or the surround speakers are set to SMALL, the surround back speakers will automati- cally be set to SMALL. • If you choose THX in step 2 then the surround back speakers can only be set to SMALL (X1 or )2, or NO. SUBWOOFER (default setting is YES) • Leave it selected if you connected a subwoofer. • If you selected SMALL for the front speakers the subwoofer will automatically be set to on (you won' t be able to choose NO or PLUS). • If you did not connect a subwoofer choose NO. In this case, the bass frequencies are output from the front or surround speakers. • Choose the PLUS setting if you want stronger reproduction of deep bass sounds. • If you select PLUS the bass frequencies that would normally come out the front and center speakers are all routed to the subwoofer. 1 36 TONE BASS/TREBLE 9 0 - +10 + DISC ENTER SYSTEM SETUP DIRECT ACCESS DISP MODE REMOTE SETUP MENU TUNER EDIT ENTER STATUS EXIT GUIDE RETURN MPX ¶ TUNING - 1 DTV ON/OFF 8 BAND 3 EXTRA MENU TUNING + ¡ 2.Surround Setup [ Check ] [ 1.Speaker Systems ] [ 2.Channel Delay ] [ 3.Channel Level ] [ 4.Acoustic Cal ] [Return] 1~10 1 SPEAKER SYSTEMS should be selected.
