when you set "Center Mix" to "ON." This
setting is also effective to input signals from
MULTI CHANNEL INPUT jacks.
x Sur Back Assign
(Settings of the surround back
speaker(s))
• OFF
If you have not connected surround back
speakers, select "OFF."
• BI-AMP
If you connect front speakers in a bi-
amplifier configuration, select "BI-AMP"
(page 107).
• ZONE 2
If you are using the surround back speaker in
zone 2, select "ZONE 2." When you select
"ZONE 2," the input to the SUR BACK
jacks of the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT is
invalid (page 24).
Notes
• When "Sur Back Assign" is set to "BI-AMP," even
if "Center Mix" is set to "ON," the setting will be
ignored, so set "Center Mix" to "OFF."
• Set "Sur Back Assign" to "OFF," then connect the
surround back speakers to this receiver when you
want to change the connection from a bi-amplifier
connection or a zone 2 connection to a surround
back speakers connection. Re-set up the speakers
after you connect the surround back speakers.
Refer to "Auto Calibration" (page 42) or "Manual
Setup" (page 69).

when connecting a DVD player to the MULTI
CHANNEL INPUT jacks.
The sub woofer level from DVD players is 10
dB lower than that of Super Audio CD players.

x D.Range Comp.
(Dynamic range compressor)
Lets you compress the dynamic range of the
sound track. This may be useful when you
want to watch movies at low volumes late at
night. Dynamic range compression is possible
with Dolby Digital sources only.
• OFF
The dynamic range is not compressed.
• STD
The dynamic range is compressed as
intended by the recording engineer.
• MAX
The dynamic range is compressed
dramatically.
Tips
• Dynamic range compressor lets you compress the
dynamic range of the soundtrack based on the
dynamic range information included in the Dolby
Digital signal.
• "STD" is the standard setting, but it only enacts
light compression. Therefore, we recommend
using the "MAX" setting. This greatly compresses
the dynamic range and lets you view movies late at
night at low volumes. Unlike analog limiters, the
levels are predetermined and provide a very natural
compression.
x Crossover Freq
(Speaker crossover frequency)
Lets you set the bass crossover frequency of
speakers that has been set to "SMALL" in the
System settings menu. Measured speaker
crossover frequency is set for each speaker
after the auto calibration.
The adjusted value is set for each speaker
when you adjust the speaker crossover
frequency using "Crossover Freq" after the
auto calibration.
x Distance Unit (Distance unit)
Lets you select the unit of measure for setting
distances.
• feet
The distance is displayed in feet.
• meter
The distance is displayed in meters.
