This menu, which is reached from the MAIN

menu, allows you to set the delay for individual

speakers. This ensures that the sound from each

speaker arrives simultaneously at the listening

position, even when the speakers are not all

placed at equal distances from the listener.

Although personal preference is the ultimate

guide, you typically increase the delay to speak-

ers located closer to the seating area and de-

crease the delay to speakers located farther

from the seating area.

Start by measuring the distance from your

seating position to each speaker. The speaker

farthest away should receive no additional

delay. Each of the other speakers will receive

one millisecond of delay for each foot (30 cm)

closer to you than the farthest speaker. For ex-

ample, if the left front speaker is farthest away

at 13 feet and the left rear speaker is 8 feet

away, you should add 5 milliseconds of de-

lay to the left rear speaker. Continue setting

delays for each speaker until you have com-

pensated for each speaker that is closer to you

than the farthest speaker.

The delay times for the surround speakers are

set longer for Dolby Pro Logic II mode than in

Dolby Digital/DTS mode. When you change

delay setting for Dolby Digital/DTS, the de-

lay time for Dolby Pro Logic II will automati-

cally be set for MUSIC or CINEMA/EMULA-

TION modes.

English

The available settings for the CENTER chan-

nel (Dolby Digital/DTS only) are 0ms, 1ms,

2ms, 3ms, 4ms, and 5ms. For SURROUND

and CENTER BACK (Dolby Digital/DTS), the

settings are 0ms, 5ms, 10ms, and 15ms. For

SURROUND and CENTER BACK (Dolby Pro

Logic II), the MUSIC mode settings are the same

as the Dolby Digital/DTS settings. For SUR-

ROUND and CENTER BACK (Dolby Pro Logic

II), the CINEMA/EMULATION mode settings

are 10ms, 15ms, 20ms, and 25ms.

To change a setting, place the highlight on the

desired line using the UP/DOWN buttons and

use the +/– buttons to increase or decrease

the delay setting. To return to the MAIN menu,

press the ENTER button. Press the MENU key

on the remote to cancel the display and re-

turn to normal operation.

SUBWOOFER SETUP Menu

SUB SETUP

CROSSOVER: 100HZ

DOLBY: 0dB

DTS: 0dB

STEREO: 0dB

MUSIC: 0dB

MULTI INPUT: MAX

ENT KEY=MAIN MENU UP KEY=up

+/– KEY=change DWN KEY=down

The SUBWOOFER SETUP menu allows selec-

tion of the subwoofer crossover frequency and

independent adjustment of subwoofer level for

each surround mode. These settings are memo-

rized and engaged automatically each time

a music or theater surround mode is selected.

When going to the SUBWOOFER SETUP menu

from the MAIN menu, the current surround

mode is automatically highlighted. Use the +/–

buttons to adjust the subwoofer level (–10dB

to +10dB) for the current surround mode.

NOTE

: Only the current surround mode can

be adjusted on this menu. You will need to

change surround modes using the front-panel

or remote buttons to adjust a different mode.

We recommend starting with the level settings

for all surround modes at the default 0 dB setting

during the test tone calibration of the system

and for a period of familiarization after that.

As you listen to a variety of source material

over time, you may notice that certain surround

modes consistently produce too much or too

little bass from the subwoofer. Use these sub-

woofer level settings to adjust the relative bass

output of various surround modes.

NOTE

: In Dolby Digital and DTS recordings,

the LFE channel is used to produce spectacu-

lar low bass effects. This LFE channel can

generate output 10 dB louder than the other

channels, placing considerable demands on

your subwoofer system. If you hear distortion

or other signs of distress from your subwoofer

at loud listening levels, you may consider re-

ducing the subwoofer level for the Dolby Digi-

tal and/or DTS surround modes. In other

surround modes, there is no LFE channel and

the subwoofer will only reproduce redirected

bass from the other channels, which is not as

likely to tax the subwoofer.

The CROSSOVER setting activates a low-pass

filter for the subwoofer and a corresponding

high-pass filter for all SMALL speakers in the

system at the selected frequency. To adjust the

crossover frequency, highlight the CROSSOVER

line using the UP/DOWN buttons. Then, use

the +/– buttons to chose one of the following

options: OFF, 40Hz, 60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz,

or 120Hz. The 80Hz or 100Hz crossover

points are the most common in home theater

systems. However, your best setting depends

on the specific speakers in your system.

NOTE

: The OFF setting sends a full-range sig-

nal to your subwoofer so that you can use its

built-in low-pass filter. With the OFF setting,

a 100 Hz high-pass filter is activated for all

SMALL speakers in the system.

To return to the MAIN menu, press the EN-

TER button. Press the MENU key on the remote

to cancel the display and return to normal

operation.
