SP31 MULTI-CHANNEL PROCESSOR USER GUIDE
SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS
This chapter explains how to set up the speakers,
levels, and delays for the best possible sound with
your surround sound configuration
Configuring the speakers
The SP31 can drive up to seven full-frequency
loudspeakers and one subwoofer, but if your surround
system does not include a full set of speakers, the SP31
will distribute the signals from these channels to the other
channels as appropriate in your system.
For front, center, surr and surr back you can specify
whether the speaker is large, in which case it can handle
full frequency range. Alternatively you can specify the
speaker to small, in which case the bass for that channel is
handled by a subwoofer or any speaker set to large.
You can define four speaker layouts, labelled GENERAL,
DTS, DOLBY DIGITAL, and OTHER. (GENERAL is
the reference from which the three other layouts are
calculated) These are selected automatically for the
appropriate source material.
