Acoustic apparatus and acoustic setting method
First Claim
1. An acoustic apparatus to which three or more speakers can be connected and that can reproduce surround sounds, comprising:
- output control means for controlling audio signal outputs of a plurality of channels;
a table for storing each of a plurality of speaker constructions that can be constructed by said plurality of channels and storing a plurality of identification codes for identifying said plurality of speaker constructions in correspondence to each other;
operating means for selecting an identification code from said plurality of identification codes in accordance with an operation by a user; and
display means for displaying said identification code selected by said operating means, wherein said acoustic apparatus has a batch setup mode in which said control by said output control means is set based on said speaker construction corresponding to said selected identification code with reference to said table based on said identification code selected by said operating means.

Abstract
A setting up operation for connecting a number of speakers can be easily executed by a system in which setups and pattern numbers are stored in a memory. When the user operates an operation input unit and selects an easy setup, a default setting pattern number is read out from the memory and displayed on the display. The user operates encoders by watching display contents on a display. When the pattern number corresponding to his own speaker construction obtained by a chart or the like is displayed, he determines it by a key operation. A microcomputer stores the determined pattern number in a memory and the speaker setup corresponding to the pattern number is read out from a ROM in the microcomputer. Each unit of an acoustic apparatus is controlled on the basis of the read-out speaker setup, thereby performing the speaker setup. The user can perform the speaker setup merely by inputting the pattern number using the encoders.

11. An acoustic setting method of performing an acoustic setup of each of a plurality of speakers connected to an acoustic apparatus to which three or more speakers can be connected and that can reproduce surround sounds, comprising:
-
an output control step of controlling audio signal outputs of a plurality of channels;
an operating step of selecting an identification code from a table in accordance with an operation by a user, in which said identification code corresponds to each of speaker setup that can be constructed by said plurality of channels and is used for identifying said speaker setup; and
a displaying step of displaying said identification code selected by said operating step, wherein said method has a batch setup mode for controlling said output control step based on said speaker setup corresponding to said selected identification code with reference to said table based on said identification code selected in said operating step.
