Manual speaker setup

This receiver allows you to make detailed settings to optimize

the surround sound performance. You only need to make

these settings once (unless you change the placement of

your current speaker system or add new speakers).

These settings are designed to fine-tune your system, but if

you’re satisfied with the settings made in Automatically

setting up for surround sound (MCACC) on page 20, it isn’t

necessary to make all of these settings.

CAUTION

• The test tones used in the System Setup are output at

high volume.

Important

• Depending on the Pre Out Setting, there will be

differences in the speaker items that can be adjusted. The

OSD display for these operating instructions is an

example of when the Pre Out Setting is set to Surr. Back.

Speaker Setting

Use this setting to specify your speaker configuration (size,

number of speakers). It is a good idea to make sure that the

settings made in Automatically setting up for surround sound

(MCACC) on page 20 are correct.

Select ‘Speaker Setting’ from the Manual SP Setup
