Chapter Three: Using Receiver’s Front Panel to Set Up the Speakers
You can also perform the Speaker Setup and program pre-
set radio stations using the receiver’s front panel. (If you
have already set up the speakers or programmed radio sta-
tions using Remote Control unit you don’t have to repeat
the procedures using the front panel.)
Since you still must use Remote Control unit to identify
and set up your source devices for control, we recommend
that you use it for all setup procedures.
• Do not operate Remote Control unit while you are per-
forming Speaker Setup on the receiver’s front panel.
Preparation for setup
Most of the front panel control buttons are located inside
the panel door. Make the following preparation for setup
on the receiver. Open the panel door by pushing the lower
part of the panel door.
Speaker Setup
1. Press the SET UP button (SOUND button) until
SUBWOOFER ON appears on the receiver’s display (for
more than 2 seconds).
A. If your system has a powered subwoofer, leave the
receiver set this way and proceed to step 2.
B. If your system does not have a powered subwoofer,
press either MULTI CONTROL ( fi/%) button once.
The receiver’s display will read SUBWOOFER OFF.
2. Press the SET UP button once more. The receiver’s dis-
play will read FRONT NML/THX.
A. If your left and right front speakers are not capable
of producing clean, deep bass energy at output lev-
els that match those produced by a typical powered
subwoofer, leave the receiver set this way and pro-
ceed to step 3. (Most left and right speakers should
be considered NML/THX.)
B. If your left and right speakers are very large, and ca-
pable of reproducing clean, deep bass energy at out-
put levels that match those produced by a typical
powered subwoofer, press either MULTI CONTROL
(
fi/%) button once. The receiver’s display will read
FRONT LARGE.
NOTE: If you set your front speakers to LARGE, the
subwoofer may not output audio depending
on the setups of the rest of the speakers, the
input signal and the listen mode. See step 6.
3. Press the SET UP button once more. The receiver’s dis-
play will read CENTER NML/THX.
A. If your center speaker is not capable of producing
clean, deep bass energy at output levels that match
those produced by a typical powered subwoofer, leave
the receiver set this way and proceed to step 4. (Just
about all center speakers should be considered NML/
THX.)
B. If your center speaker is very large, and capable of
reproducing clean, deep bass energy at output levels
that match those produced by a typical powered
subwoofer, press either MULTI CONTROL (
fi/%)
button repeatedly until the receiver’s display reads
CENTER LARGE.

ceed to step 5. (Just about all surround speakers
should be considered NML/THX.)

of reproducing clean, deep bass energy at output lev-
els that match those produced by a typical powered
subwoofer, press either MULTI CONTROL (
fi/%)
button repeatedly until the receiver’s display reads
