Automatically setting up for
surround sound
The Auto Surround Setup measures the acoustic
characteristics of your listening area, taking into account
ambient noise, speaker size and distance, and tests for
both channel delay and channel level. After you have set
up the microphone provided with your system, the
receiver uses the information from a series of test tones
to optimize the speaker settings and equalization for your
particular room.
Make sure you do this before moving on to
Playing a

on page 14.
Important
• Make sure the microphone and speakers are not
moved during the Auto Surround Setup.
• Using the Auto Surround Setup will overwrite any
existing speaker settings in the receiver.
• The receiver will automatically exit the on-screen
menu after three minutes of inactivity.
Caution
• The test tones used in the Auto Surround Setup are
output at high volume.

Important
