120˚ 100˚ A B B A D D 60 C C 30 • SIDE/LOW Select if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to section A and C. • SIDE/HIGH Select if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to section A and D. • BEHD/LOW Select if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to section B and C. • BEHD/HIGH Select if the location of your surround speakers corresponds to section B and D. * This setup item is not available when the surround speaker parameter is set to "NO" (page 22). Tip Surround speaker position is designed specifically for implementation of the Cinema Studio EX modes. For other sound fields, speaker position is not so critical. Those sound fields were designed under the premise that the surround speakers would be located behind the listening position, but presentation remains fairly consistent even with the surround speakers positioned at a rather wide angle. However, if the speakers are pointing toward the listener from the immediate left and right of the listening position, the surround effects becomes unclear unless set to "SIDE". Nevertheless, each listening environment has many variables, like wall reflections, and you may obtain better results using "BEHD" if your speakers are located high above the listening position, even if they are to the immediate left and right. Therefore, although it may result in a setting contrary to the above explanation, we recommend that you playback multi channel surround encoded software and select the setting that provides a good sense of spaciousness and that best succeeds in forming a cohesive space between the surround sound from the surround speakers and the sound of the front speakers. If you are not sure which sounds best, select "BEHD" and then use the speaker distance parameter and speaker level adjustments to obtain proper balance. x SP CROSSOVER > XXX Hz (Speaker crossover frequency) Initial setting: 100 Hz Lets you set the bass crossover frequency of speakers set to "SMALL" in the SPEAKER SET UP menu. You can adjust from 40 Hz to 160 Hz in 10 Hz steps. x OUTPUT (Preout downmixing) • PREOUT ONLY Lets you output the sound from PREOUT jacks and not output from SPEAKERS jacks (analog downmixing is performed). Select this when you use this amplifier as a full-channel preamp. • ALL ON Lets you output the sound from both SPEAKERS and PREOUT jacks. (All downmixing is performed by DSP.) • FRONT SP OFF Lets you turn off the sound output from front speakers and perform the analog downmixing. Select this when you use this receiver as a preamp for front speakers only.
