Advanced Setup – Part 2 Advanced Setup – Part 2
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.
Setting the Distance
• Input the distance between the listening position and the
different speakers to set the delay time for the surround mode.
Preparations:
Measure the distances between the listening position and the
speakers (L1 to L10 on the diagram at the below).
1 Press the CURSOR D D or H H button to select the
“Subwoofer Setup” at the “Speaker Setup”
menu, then press the
ENTER button.
• The “Subwoofer Setup” screen appears.
2 Press the CURSOR F F or G 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.
1 Press the CURSOR D D or H H button to select the
“Distance” at the “Speaker Setup” menu, then
press the
ENTER button.
• The “Distance” screen appears.

Press the CURSOR D D or H H button to select the
speaker to be set.
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.
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”.

2 Press the CURSORF F or G G button to select the
desired unit, “Meters” or “Feet”.
• The “Distance” screen appears automatically.

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”.
