Yamaha RX-V359 User Manual

1C SURR

Choices: LRG (large), 

 (small), NON (none)

• Select “LRG” if you have large surround left and right 

speakers. The entire range of the surround channel 
signals is directed to the surround left and right 
speakers.

• Select “SML” if you have small surround left and right 

speakers. The low-frequency signals of the surround 
channel are directed to the speakers selected with “1D 
BASS”.

• Select “NON” if you do not have surround speakers. 

This will set this unit to the Virtual CINEMA DSP 
mode (see page 33).

1D BASS

Use this feature to select the speakers that output the LFE 
(low-frequency effect) and the low-frequency signals.
Choices: SWFR (subwoofer), FRNT (front), 

• Select “SWFR” if you connected a subwoofer. The 

LFE signals as well as the low-frequency signals of 
other speakers set to “SML” or to “NON” are directed 
to the subwoofer.

• Select “FRNT” if you did not connect a subwoofer. 

The LFE signals, the low-frequency signals of the front 
left and right channels, and the low-frequency signals 
of other speakers set to “SML” or to “NON” are all 
directed to the front left and right speakers regardless 
of the “1B FRONT” setting.

• Select “BOTH” if you connected a subwoofer. The 

low-frequency signals of any source are output from 
the subwoofer. The LFE signals as well as the low-
frequency signals of other speakers set to “SML” or to 
“NON” are directed to the subwoofer. The low-
frequency signals of the front left and right channels 
are directed to the front left and right speakers and the 
subwoofer regardless of the “1B FRONT” setting.

2 SP DISTANCE

Use this feature to manually adjust the distance of each 
speaker and the delay applied to the respective channel. 
Ideally, each speaker should be the same distance from the 
main listening position. However, this is not possible in 
most home situations. Thus, a certain amount of delay 
must be applied to the sound from each speaker so that all 
sounds will arrive at the listening position at the same 
time.

UNIT

Choices: meters, feet
Initial setting:
[U.S.A. and Canada models]: feet
[Other models]: meters
• Select “meters” to adjust speaker distances in meters.
• Select “feet” to adjust speaker distances in feet.

Control step: 0.10 m (0.5 ft)
Initial settings: 3.00 m (10.0 ft)
• Select “FRONT” to adjust the distance of the front 

speaker.

• Select “CENTER” to adjust the distance of the center 

speaker.

• Select “SURR” to adjust the distance of the surround 

speaker.

• “CENTER” and “SURR” cannot be adjusted if “1A CENTER” 

and “1C SURR” are set to “NON” respectively.

• No delay will be set if you set the same distance for “FRONT”, 

“CENTER”, and “SURR”.

 3 LFE LEVEL

Use this feature to adjust the output level of the LFE (low-
frequency effect) channel according to the capacity of 
your subwoofer or headphones. The LFE channel carries 
low-frequency special effects which are only added to 
certain scenes. This setting is effective only when this unit 
decodes Dolby Digital or DTS signals.
Control range: –20 to 

 dB

Control step: 1 dB

SP LFE

Adjusts the speaker LFE level.

HP LFE

• Adjust the LFE level according to the capacity of your 

subwoofer or headphones.

• Depending on the settings of “1D BASS”, some signals may not 

be output at the SUBWOOFER OUTPUT jack.
