Multi Channel Surround Setup
R) x Front speaker size ( L Initial setting : LARGE * If you connect large speakers that will effectively reproduce bass frequencies, select "LARGE". Normally, select "LARGE". * If the sound is distorted, or you feel a lack of surround effects when using multi channel surround sound, select "SMALL" to activate the bass redirection circuitry and output the front channel bass frequencies from the sub woofer. * When the front speaker is set to "SMALL", the center and surround speakers are also automatically set to www..com "SMALL" (unless previously set to "NO").
z About speaker sizes (LARGE and SMALL)
Internally, the LARGE and SMALL settings for each speaker determine whether or not the internal sound processor will cut the bass signal from that channel. When the bass is cut from a channel the bass redirection circuitry sends the corresponding bass frequencies to the sub woofer or other "LARGE" speaker. However, since bass sounds have a certain amount of directionality it best not to cut them, if possible. Therefore, even when using small speakers, you can set them to "LARGE" if you want to output the bass frequencies from that speaker. On the other hand, if you are using a large speaker, but prefer not to have bass frequencies output from that speaker, set it to "SMALL".

z About the surround speaker position (PL. SIDE, 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." 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.
x Center speaker distance ( C ) Initial setting : DIST. 5.0 m (5.0 meter) 16 feet Set the distance from your listening position to the center speaker. * Center speaker distance can be set in 1 foot (0.1 meter) steps from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (A on page 15) to a distance 5 feet (1.5 meters) closer to your listening position (B on page 15). * Do not place the center speaker farther away from your listening position than the front speakers. x Surround speaker distance ( SL SR ) Initial setting : DIST. 3.5 m (3.5 meter) 11 feet Set the distance from your listening position to the surround (left or right) speaker. * Surround speaker distance can be set in 1 foot (0.1 meter) steps from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (A on page 15) to a distance 15 feet (4.5 meters) closer to your listening position (C on page 15). * 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.

Multi Channel Surround Setup
z About speaker distances
This receiver allows you to input the speaker position in terms of distance. However, it is not possible to set the center speaker farther away than the front speakers. Also, the center speaker can not be set more that 5 feet (1.5 meters) closer than the front speakers. Likewise, the surround speakers cannot be set farther away from the listening position than the front speakers. And they can be no more than 15 feet (4.5 meters) closer. This is because incorrect speaker placement is not conducive to enjoy the surround sound. Please note that, setting the speaker distance closer than the actual location of the speakers will cause a delay in the output of the sound www..com from that speaker. In other words, the speaker will sound like it is farther away. For example, setting the center speaker distance 3~6 feet (1~2 m) closer than the actual speaker position will create a fairly realistic sensation of being "inside" the screen. If you cannot obtain a satisfactory surround effect because the surround speakers are too close, setting the surround speaker distance closer (shorter) than the actual distance will create a larger soundstage. (1 foot corresponds to a 1 ms difference.) Adjusting these parameters while listening to the sound often results in much better surround sound. Give it a try!
Adjusting the speaker volume
Use the remote while seated in your listening position to adjust the volume of each speaker. Note
This receiver incorporates a new test tone with a frequency centered at 800 Hz for easier speaker volume adjustment.

z When setting the volume levels for each speaker
Let's assume that you have matched the sound levels of all the speakers using the test tone. Although this lays the foundation for high quality surround sound, it may be necessary to make www..com further adjustments while listening to playback of actual software. This is because most software contains center and surround channels recorded at slightly lower levels than the two front channels. When you actually play back software recorded in multi channel surround, you will notice that increasing the center and surround speaker levels produces a better blend between the front and center speakers and greater cohesion between the front and surround speakers. Increasing the level of the center speaker about 1 dB, and the surround speakers about 1~2 dB is likely to produce better results. In other words, in order to create a more cohesive soundstage with balanced dialog, we recommend that you make some adjustments while playing your software. Changes of only 1 dB can make a huge difference in the character of the soundstage.

Enjoying Surround Sound
This chapter describes how to set up the receiver to enjoy surround sound. You can enjoy multi channel surround when playing back software encoded www..com with Dolby Digital or DTS.
You can take advantage of surround sound simply by selecting one of the receiver's pre-programmed sound modes. They bring the exciting and powerful sound of movie theaters and concert halls into your home. You can also customize the sound modes to obtain the sound you desire by changing the various surround parameters. The receiver contains a variety of different sound modes. The cinema sound modes are designed for use when playing back movie software (DVD, LD, etc.) encoded with multi channel surround sound or Dolby Pro Logic. In addition to decoding the surround sound, some of these modes also provide sound effects commonly found in movie theaters. The virtual sound modes contain compelling applications of the Sony Digital Cinema Sound digital signal processing technology. They shift the sound away from the actual speaker locations to simulate the presence of several "virtual" speakers. The music (etc.) sound modes are designed for use with standard audio sources and TV broadcasts. They add reverberation to the source signal to make you feel as if you were in a concert hall or stadium (etc.). Use these sound modes with two-channel sources like CD and stereo broadcasts of sports programs or musical concerts. For more information about the sound modes, see pages 26 - 27. A.F.D. The "Auto Format Decoding" sound mode prAsents the sound exactly as it was encoded, without adding any reverberation (etc.). To fully enjoy surround sound, you must register the number and location of your speakers. See "MultiChannel Surround setup" starting on page 15 to set the speaker parameters before enjoying surround sound.

A.F.D. AUTO FORMAT DECODING (Press the A.F.D. button) Automatically detects the type of audio signal being input (Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, or standard two channel stereo) and performs the proper decoding if necessary. This mode presents the sound as it was recorded/encoded, without adding any effects. Outputs the sound from the front left and right speakers only. Standard two channel (stereo) sources completely bypass the sound field processing. Multi channel surround formats are downmixed to two channels. You can use this mode as a reference.
2CH ST. 2 CHANNEL (Press the 2CH button)
This allows you to play any source using only the front left and right speakers.
Note
* No sound is output from the sub woofer when the 2 CHANNEL mode is selected.

Customizing Sound Fields
By adjusting the surround parameters and the tone characteristics of the front speakers, you can customize the sound fields to suit your particular listening situation. Once you customize a sound field, the changes are stored in memory indefinitely (unless the receiver is unplugged for about two weeks). You can change a customized sound field any time by making new adjustments to the parameters. See the table on page 33 for the parameters available in each sound field.

Wall type Initial setting : WALL MID When sound is reflected off soft material, such as a curtain, the high frequency elements are reduced. A hard wall is highly reflective and does not significantly affect the frequency response of the reflected sound. This parameter lets you control the level of the high frequencies to alter the sonic character of your listening environment by simulating a softer (S) or harder (H) wall. * The wall type can be adjusted from WALL S. 1 ~ WALL S. 8 (soft) to WALL H. 1 ~ WALL H. 8 (hard) in 17 steps. * The midpoint WALL MID designates a nAutral wall (made of wood). Reverberation Initial setting : REVB. MID Before sound reaches our ears, it is reflected (reverberated) many times between the left and right walls, ceiling, and floor. In a large room, sound takes more time to bounce from one surface to another than in a smaller room. This parameter lets you control the spacing of the early reflections to simulate a sonically larger (L) or smaller (S) room. * The reverberation can be adjusted from REVB. S. 1 ~ REVB. S. 8 (short) to REVB. L. 1 ~ REVB. L. 8 (long) in 17 steps. * The midpoint REVB. MID designates a standard room with no adjustment.

z About the Dynamic Range Compressor
This parameter allows you to compress the dynamic range of the soundtrack based on the dynamic range information included in the Dolby Digital signal. "COMP. STD" is standard compression, but because many sources have only light compression, you may not notice much difference when using COMP. 0.1~0.9. Therefore, we recommend using the "COMP. MAX" setting. This greatly compresses the dynamic range and allows you to view movies late at night at low volumes. Unlike analog limiters, the levels are predetermined and it provides a very natural

Glossary
Surround sound Sound that consists of three elements: direct sound, early reflected sound (early reflections) and reverberative sound (reverberation). The acoustics of the surrounding space affect the way these three sound elements are heard. Surround sound combines these sound elements in such a way that you actually can sense the size of the venue, as well as its type.

Early reflections Reverberation
Dolby Digital This sound format for movie theaters is more advanced than Dolby Pro Logic Surround. In this format, the surround speakers output stereo sound with an expanded frequency range and a sub woofer channel for deep bass is independently provided. This format is also called "5.1" because the sub woofer channel is counted as 0.1 channel (since it functions only when a deep bass effect is needed). All six channels in this format are recorded separately to realize superior channel separation. Furthermore, since all the signals are processed digitally, less signal degradation occurs. Digital Cinema Sound This is the generic name of the surround sound produced by digital signal processing technology developed by Sony. Unlike previous surround sound fields mainly directed at the reproduction of music, Digital Cinema Sound is designed specifically for the enjoyment of movies.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround As one method of decoding Dolby Surround, Dolby Pro Logic Surround produces four channels from twochannel sound. Compared with the former Dolby Surround system, Dolby Pro Logic Surround reproduces left-to-right panning more naturally and localizes sounds more precisely. To take full advantage of Dolby Pro Logic Surround, you should have one pair of surround speakers and a center speaker. The surround speakers output monaural sound.
