7 Speaker distance—DISTANCE UNIT,
FRNT (Front) DISTANCE, CNTR (Center) DISTANCE,
SURR (Surround) DISTANCE
Select the unit to measure the distance between your listening
position and speakers—"METER" or "FEET."
After selecting the measuring unit, select the appropriate
speaker distance for each speaker within the range of "0.3m"
("1FT") to "9.0m" ("30FT") by 0.3 m (1 foot) step.
Example:In this case, set "FRNT DISTANCE" to "3.0m" ("10FT"),
"CNTR DISTANCE" to "2.7m" ("9FT"), and "SURR
DISTANCE" to "2.4m" ("8FT").
• "METER" for the unit and "3.0m" ("10FT") for all speakers are
the initial settings.
Note:
If you have selected "NONE" for the center and surround speakers
setting, you cannot set the speaker distance for the center and
surround speakers.
7 Crossover frequency—CROSSOVER
Small speakers cannot reproduce the bass sounds efficiently.
If you use a small speaker in any position, this receiver
automatically reallocates the bass sound elements assigned
to the small speaker to other large speakers.
To use this function properly, set the crossover frequency
according to the table below:
Crossover frequency
80HZ

Select this when you want to reduce the dynamic
range a little (initial setting).
