[. . . ] The user should measure the distance from the listening position to each speaker type and obtain the time error (delay time) based on the appropriate table. Assume that the distance from the listening position to the left/right front speakers is (L). Assume that the distance from the listening position to the center speaker is (L1). Assume that the distance from the listening position to the surround speakers is (L2). Setting the center delay Calculate the difference between (L) and (L1), find the closest value to it from the table below and obtain the center delay time. For example, when (L) is 16 feet (5 meters) and (L1) is 13 feet (4 meters), (L) ­ (L1) = 16 ­ 13 = 3 feet / 5 ­ 4 = 1 meter Since the closest value to 3 feet (1 meter) in the table below is 3/0. 9 (ft/m), the center delay time to be set is 3. 1. Press SPEAKER ADJUST repeatedly until "CenterDelay" is displayed. Press PRESET/ADJUST TM/£ repeatedly to select the center delay value. It can be selected from 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 ms.

For example, when (L) is 16 feet (5 meters) and (L2) is 6 feet (2 meters), (L) ­ (L2) = 16 ­ 6 = 10 feet / 5 ­ 2 = 3 meters Since the value of 10 feet (3 meters) is found in the 11th line in the table below, the surround delay time to be set is 10.

It can be selected from 0 to 15 ms. 19 Speaker setup SUBWOOFER MODE TEST CH SEL LEVEL 5/ Setting the subwoofer mode Press SUBWOOFER MODE on the unit. With the first press of the button, you can check the present setting. Then each press of the button changes the subwoofer mode as follows (a tip on how to select the right subwoofer mode is in parentheses): Adjusting each speaker's relative volume balance -- Test tone Adjust each speaker's relative volume balance so that the volumes of all speakers' test tones sound equal at the listening position. Note You cannot adjust the volume balance while the muting function is activated. Subwoofer Mode 1 (To output the low frequencies of all channels from the subwoofer. ) 1. Press TEST on the remote controller. Each speaker emits the test tone (pink noise) and the display shows the speaker emitting the test tone. Subwoofer Mode 2 (To output the low frequencies of the center and surround channels from the subwoofer. ) 2. Press CH SEL repeatedly to select the speaker, then press LEVEL 5/ on the remote controller to adjust the volume level. When CH SEL is pressed repeatedly, each speaker produces the test tone (pink noise) in the following order: Left Center Right Surr Right Surr Left Subwoofer. The volume level can be adjusted between ­12dB and +12dB. Subwoofer Mode 3 (To output only the LFE channel* of a 5. 1-channel source from the subwoofer. ) Subwoofer Off (When no subwoofer is connected or when a subwoofer is connected but not used. ) * LFE channel: The channel recording the LFE (Low Frequency Effects). Note When the subwoofer mode is set to Mode 2 or Mode 3 and audio is reproduced in the Stereo mode, the subwoofer may not output audio from certain sources (2 channel-Dolby Digital/DTS source etc. ). Notes · No test tone will be emitted from the speaker which is not included in the speaker configuration on page 20 even if it is actually connected. · No test tone will be emitted from the subwoofer when the subwoofer mode is set to "Subwoofer Off". · Even when CH SEL is not pressed, the test tone will move to the next speaker in 2 seconds. 3. When you have completed the adjustment by repeating step 2, press TEST. The test tone stops and the normal display resumes. Note Even if you don't press TEST, the test tone will stop after 2 minutes. 20 Playing the connected source MASTER VOLUME dial SP A SP B SPEAKERS A/B Input Selector buttons Input Selector buttons VOLUME 5/ This section shows you how to play the sources connected to the AV Receiver. You may need to see "Connecting to audio/video equipment" on page 10 while following the steps in this section. Selecting a sound source 1. [. . . ] · The TV is not set to receive the output signals from the AV receiver. · Only the S video connection is made. The sound of the playback source is not heard. · Another input source is selected. · The remote controller is not pointed at the remote sensor of the AV receiver. · The remote controller is too far from the AV receiver. 25 34-37 5 5 5 5 38 Remote controller The buttons on the AV receiver operate but the buttons on the remote controller do not operate. Troubleshooting Symptoms Too much noise is heard or sound is interrupted occasionally. [. . . ]
