To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus. [. . . ] Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the front speaker (A). If both front speakers are not placed an equal distance from your listening position, set the distance as the average distance between the front speakers. Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the center speaker. Center speaker distance should be set from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (A) to a distance 1. 5 meters closer to your listening position (B). Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the surround left speaker. Surround left speaker distance should be set from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (A) to a distance 4. 5 meters closer to your listening position (C). Lets you specify the location of your surround speakers for proper implementation of the surround effects in the Cinema Studio EX modes (page 52). For other sound fields, speaker position is not so critical. Those sound fields were designed under the premise that the surround speakers 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 surround effects become unclear unless set to "SIDE/LO" or "SIDE/HI". Nevertheless, each listening environment has many variables, such as wall reflections, and you may obtain better results using "BEHD/HI" if your speakers are located high above the listening position, even if they are located to the immediate left and right. Therefore, although it may result in a setting contrary to the above explanation, we recommend that you playback multi channel surround encoded software and select 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 of the front speakers. If you are not sure which sounds best, select "BEHD/LO" or "BEHD/HI" and then use the speaker distance parameter and speaker level adjustments to obtain proper balance. ) mode allows you to listen to higher fidelity sound and select the decoding mode for listening to a 2 channel stereo sound as multi channel sound. Repeatedly to select the sound field you want. Presents the sound as it was recorded/ encoded without adding any surround effects. However, this receiver will generate a low frequency signal for output to the sub woofer when there is no LFE signals. This setting is ideal for movies encoded in Dolby Surround. In addition, this mode can reproduce sound in 5. 1 channel for watching videos of overdubbed or old movies. [. . . ] Move your audio components away from the TV. (Except for models of area code E51) The source image input to the HDMI jack on the receiver is not output from the TV. Depending on the playback component, you may need to set up the component. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the each component. [. . . ]
