Setting The Delay Time - Denon AVR-2803 Bedienungsanleitung

4
Press the ENTER button to finalize the setting.
NOTE:
• Select "Large" or "Small" not according to the actual size of the speaker but according to the speaker's
capacity for playing low frequency (bass sound below frequency set for the Crossover Frequency mode and
below) signals. If you do not know, try comparing the sound at both settings (setting the volume to a level
low enough so as not to damage the speakers) to determine the proper setting.
• Parameters
Large.................Select this when using speakers that have sufficient performance for reproducing bass
sound below the frequency set for the Crossover Frequency mode.
Small .................Select this when using speakers that do not have sufficient performance for reproducing
bass sound below the frequency set for the Crossover Frequency mode. When this is set,
bass sound with a frequency below the frequency set for the Crossover Frequency mode
is sent to the subwoofer.
When this setting is selected, low frequencies of below the frequency set for the Crossover
Frequency mode are assigned to the subwoofer.
None...... ..........Select this when no speakers are installed.
Yes/No... ...........Select "Yes" when a subwoofer is installed, "No" when a subwoofer is not installed.
2spkrs/1spkr .....Set the number of speakers to be used for the surround back channel.
If the subwoofer has sufficient low frequency playback capacity, good sound can be achieved even when
"Small" is set for the front, center and surround speakers.
For the majority of speaker system configurations, using the Small setting for all five main speakers and
Subwoofer On with a connected subwoofer will yield the best results.
Setting the crossover frequency and low frequency distribution when
playing Dolby Digital and DTS signals
• Set the crossover frequency and subwoofer mode according to the speaker system being used.
1
Select the "Crossover Frequency" mode.
Select the Frequency.
2
Select the "Subwoofer Mode".
Select the setting.
3
Enter the setting.
The System Setup Menu reappears.
NOTES:
— Assignment of low frequency signal range —
• The only signals produced from the subwoofer channel are LFE signals (during playback of Dolby Digital or
DTS signals) and the low frequency signal range of channels set to "Small" in the setup menu. The low
frequency signal range of channels set to "Large" are produced from those channels.
— Crossover Frequency —
• When "Subwoofer" is set to "Yes" at the "Speaker Configuration Setting", set the frequency (Hz) below
which the bass sound of the various speakers is to be output from the subwoofer (the crossover
frequency).
• For speakers set to "Small", sound with a frequency below the crossover frequency is cut, and the cut bass
sound is output from the subwoofer instead.
NOTE: For ordinary speaker systems, we recommend setting the crossover frequency to 80 Hz. When
using small speakers, however, setting the crossover frequency to a high frequency may improve
frequency response for frequencies near the crossover frequency.
— Subwoofer mode —
• The subwoofer mode setting is only valid when "Large" is set for the front speakers and "Yes" is set for
the subwoofer in the "Speaker Configuration" settings (see page 10).
• When the "LFE+MAIN" playback mode is selected, the low frequency signal range of channels set to
"Large" are produced simultaneously from those channels and the subwoofer channel.
In this playback mode, the low frequency range expand more uniformly through the room, but depending
on the size and shape of the room, interference may result in a decrease of the actual volume of the low
frequency range.
• Selection of the "LFE " play mode will play the low frequency signal range of the channel selected with
"Large" from that channel only. Therefore, the low frequency signal range that are played from the
subwoofer channel are only the low frequency signal range of LFE (only during Dolby Digital or DTS signal
playback) and the channel specified as "Small" in the setup menu.
• Select the play mode that provides bass reproduction with quantity.
• When the subwoofer is set to "Yes", bass sound is output from the subwoofer regardless of the subwoofer
mode setting in surround modes other than Dolby/DTS.
• In surround modes other than Dolby Digital and DTS, if the subwoofer is set to "YES", the low frequency
portion is always output to the subwoofer channel. For details, refer to "Surround Modes and Parameters"
on page 34.

Setting the delay time

• Input the distance between the listening position and the different speakers to set the delay time for the
surround mode.
Preparations:
Measure the distances between the listening position and the speakers
(L1 to L5 on the diagram at the right).
L1: Distance between center speaker and listening position
L2: Distance between front speakers and listening position
L3: Distance between surround speakers and listening position
L4: Distance between surround back speakers and listening position
L5: Distance between subwoofer and listening position

At the System Setup Menu select "Delay Time".
