p Surround speaker height (
Initial setting : HGT. LOW
This parameter lets you specify the height of your
surround speakers for proper implementation of the
Digital Cinema Sound surround modes in the
"VIRTUAL" sound fields. Refer to the illustration below.
• Select "HGT. LOW" if the location of your surround
speakers corresponds to section A.
• Select "HGT. HIGH" if the location of your surround
speakers corresponds to section B.
This setting only affects the surround modes in the
"VIRTUAL" sound fields.

About the surround speaker position (PL. SIDE, PL. MID and
PL. BEHD.)
This setting is designed specifically for implementation of the
Digital Cinema Sound modes in the "VIRTUAL" sound fields.
With the Digital Cinema Sound modes, speaker position is not as
critical as other modes. All of the modes in the "VIRTUAL" sound
fields were designed under the premise that the surround speaker
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 "VIRTUAL" sound fields will not be
effective unless the surround speaker position parameter is set to
"PL. SIDE".
Nevertheless, each listening environment has many variables, such
as wall reflections, and you may obtain better results using "PL.
BEHD." or "PL. MID" 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
"Surround speaker position" explanation, we recommend that you
play back multi channel surround encoded software and listen to
the effect each setting has on your listening environment. Choose
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 from the front speakers.
If you are not sure which sounds best, select "PL. BEHD." and then
use the speaker distance parameter and speaker level adjustments
to obtain proper balance.

p Sub woofer selection
Initial setting : S. W. YES
• If you connect a sub woofer, select "S. W. YES".
• If you do not connect a sub woofer, select "S. W. NO".
This activates the bass redirection circuitry and outputs
the LFE signals from other speakers.
• In order to take full advantage of the Dolby Digital
(AC-3) bass redirection circuitry, we recommend that
you set your sub woofer's cut off frequency as high as
possible.
p Front speaker distance (
Initial setting : DIST. 5.0 m (5.0 meter)
Set the distance from your listening position to the front
(left or right) speaker (A on page 17).
• Front speaker distance can be set in 0.1 meter (1 foot)
steps from 1.0 to 12.0 meters (3 to 40 feet).
• If both speakers are not placed an equal distance from
your listening position, set the distance to the closest
speaker.
p Center speaker distance (
Initial setting : DIST. 5.0 m (5.0 meter)
Set the distance from your listening position to the center
speaker.
• Center speaker distance can be set in 0.1 meter (1 foot)
steps from a distance equal to the front speaker distance
(A on page 17) to a distance 1.5 meters (5 feet) closer to
your listening position (B on page 17).
• Do not place the center speaker farther away from your
listening position than the front speakers.
p Surround speaker distance (
Initial setting : DIST. 3.5 m (3.5 meter)
Set the distance from your listening position to the
surround (left or right) speaker.
• Surround speaker distance can be set in 0.1 meter (1
foot) steps from a distance equal to the front speaker
distance (A on page 17) to a distance 4.5 meters (15 feet)
closer to your listening position (C on page 17).
• Do not place the surround speakers farther away from
your listening position than the front speakers.
• If both speakers are not placed an equal distance from
your listening position, set the distance to the closest
speaker.
