5: Setting up the speakers You can use the SPEAKER SET UP menu to set the size and distance of the speakers connected to this system. 1 Press ?/1 to turn on the system. 2 Rotate MAIN MENU to select "SPEAKER SET UP". 3 Rotate MENU to select the menu item you want. For more information, see "Speaker setup parameters". Notes • Certain setup parameters may be dimmed in the display. This means that the selected parameter is either unavailale or fixed and unchangeable due to sound field (pages 32-34) or other settings. • Some speaker setup items may appear dimmed in the display. This means that they have been adjusted automatically due to other speaker settings. Depending on the settings, you may or may not be able to adjust certain speakers. 4 Rotate -/+ to select the parameter. 5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have set all of the items that follow. Note Before setting up the surround speakers, select the surround speakers you use (page 49). Speaker setup parameters The initial settings are underlined. x SP EASY SET UP (Speaker easy setup) • YES You can set up your speakers automatically by selecting a pre-defined speaker pattern (see the supplied "Easy Setup Guide"). • NO Select to adjust the settings of each speaker manually. x SPEAKER PATTERN (Speaker setup pattern) When "SP EASY SET UP" is set to "YES", select the speaker setup pattern. Rotate -/+ to select the speaker setup pattern and press MEMORY/ENTER to enter the selection. Check your speaker pattern using the supplied "Easy Setup Guide". x SUB WOOFER (Sub woofer) • YES If you connect a sub woofer, select "YES". • NO If you did not connect a sub woofer, select "NO". This activates the bass redirection circuitry and outputs the LFE signals from other speakers. Tip In order to take full advantage of the Dolby Digital bass redirection circuitry, we recommend setting the sub woofer's cut off frequency as high as possible. x FRONT SP (Front speakers) • LARGE If you connect large speakers that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select "LARGE". Normally, select "LARGE". When the sub woofer is set to "NO", front speakers are automatically set to "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 front channel bass frequencies from the sub woofer. When the front speakers are set to "SMALL", the center, surround and surround back speakers are also automatically set to "SMALL" (unless previously set to "NO"). x CENTER SP (Center speaker) • LARGE If you connect a large speaker that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select "LARGE". Normally, select "LARGE". However, if the front speakers are set to "SMALL", you cannot set the center speaker to "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 center channel bass frequencies from the front speakers (if set to "LARGE") or sub woofer. continued 21GB Getting Started
