SPEAKER CONFIGURATION, DELAY TIME & DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL

 

SPEAKER CONFIGURATION 
It is important to configure your speakers correctly in order to get 
the most from your AV Receiver. This versatile AV Receiver 
provides the flexibility to experience multi-channel surround sound 
without a center speaker. However, for best results with Dolby Pro 
Logic II, DTS and Dolby Digital decoding, at least 5 speakers (Left, 
Center, Right, Left Rear and Right Rear) should be used. (Note: As 
with all surround sound configurations, we recommend the use of a 
Subwoofer speaker to fully experience the Low Frequency Effect 
encoded into most of today's DVD movies). 
 
BASS MODE 
There are 2 preset speaker configurations based on the size of 
your speakers. 
Default is Mode 1. 
 

 

Front L & 
R 

Center  Rear L & 

R 

Sub-Woofer 

Small Small 

Small On 

Large Small 

Small On 

 

 
Press BASS MODE to select one of the 2 modes according to your 
speaker's size. 
(Note: Large speakers can fully reproduce low frequencies of 

below 80Hz. Small speaker cannot reproduce low frequencies of 
below 80Hz with sufficient volume. Refer to your speaker 
specifications to select the correct size). 

The delay time can be individually set for the Dolby Digital/Dolby 

Pro Logic II modes using the DELAY    (CENTER/REAR) buttons. 
When you adjust the delay time in the Dolby Digital mode, an 

additional 15 ms is automatically added to the surround channels in 

the Dolby Pro Logic mode. The current setting is shown on the 

display. 
 

 

 

1. Press "DELAY TIME" on the remote control repeatedly, the 

corresponding speaker appears on the display: S → C 

2. Press +/- button to set the time delay. 
 

 

Delay Time Setting Adjustable Range 

  DOLBY DIGITAL MODES: 
  0-15 ms in 5 ms step (S-Delay) 

  0-5 ms in 1 ms step (C-Delay) 

  10-25 ms in 5 ms step (S-Delay) 
 

 

 

In the surround modes, the sound from the speakers should be 

delayed slightly, relative to that from the front speakers. 
The optimum delay time will depend on acoustic properties, 

whether the walls and furnishings reflect or absorb sound, etc. 

It is recommended that you try different delay times to obtain the 

best effect. The delay is digitally synthesized. 
For the highest sound quality with minimum noise and distortion, 

the delay time can be set independently for each surround mode 

using the DELAY TIME buttons, with the current setting shown in 

the display. 
 
DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL 

This button controls the compression range of sound track. If the 

compression is large (DRC = 4/4), the sound effect is retarded to a 

certain range. As a result, sound effect is not as excited as normal 

range DRC = 0/4). It is useful when you want to movies at the late 
night.

  Press  DYNAMIC  on remote control repeatedly until the 

desired compression range reached. 

 

 

1. The Dynamic Range Control state will resume to normal if you 

do not press it after 5 seconds. 

 
2. Dynamic Range Compression is not possible with DTS sources.
