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 become unclear unless set to “PL.
SIDE/LOW” or “PL. SIDE/HIGH”.
Nevertheless, each listening environment has many
variables, such as wall reflections, and you may
obtain better results using “PL. BEHD/HIGH” if
your speakers are located high above the listening
position, even if they are located 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 “PL. BEHD/LOW” or “PL. BEHD/
HIGH” and then use the speaker distance parameter
and speaker level adjustments to obtain proper
balance.
x CROSSOVER FREQ (Speaker
crossover frequency)
Lets you set the bass crossover frequency of
the speakers that have been set to “SMALL”
on the SYSTEM menu. This setup item is only
available when at least one speaker is set to
“SMALL” and the corresponding speaker
indicator flashes on the display.
x DIMMER (Brightness of the
display)
Lets you adjust the brightness in 3 steps.
x ZONE 2 SELECT (Zone 2 source
selection)
Lets you select the analog audio signals you
want to output to a stereo amplifier in another
room or zone.
