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 18 , it isn’t
necessary to make all of these settings.
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 18 are correct.
1
Select ‘Manual SP Setup’ from the Home Menu.
2
Select ‘Speaker Setting’ from the Manual SP Setup
menu.
3
Choose the set of speakers that you want to set then
select a speaker size.
Use / to select the size (and number) of each of the
following speakers:
• Front – Select LARGE if your front speakers reproduce bass
frequencies effectively, or if you didn’t connect a
subwoofer. Select SMALL to send the bass frequencies to
the subwoofer.
