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 customize your system,
but if you’re satisfied with the settings made in

Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC &
Full Band Phase Control)

on page 8, it isn’t necessary to

make all of these settings.

Caution

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

high volume.

1

Select ‘Manual SP Setup’ then press

ENTER

.

2

Select the setting you want to adjust.

If you are doing this for the first time, you may want to
adjust these settings in order:

Speaker Setting

– Specify the size and number of

speakers you’ve connected (see below).

Channel Level

– Adjust the overall balance of your

speaker system (page 49).

Speaker Distance

– Specify the distance of your

speakers from the listening position (page 49).

X-Curve

– Adjust the tonal balance of your speaker

system for movie soundtracks (page 50).

THX Audio Setting

– Specify whether you are using

a THX speaker setup (page 50).

3

Make the adjustments necessary for each setting,

pressing

RETURN

to confirm after each screen.

Use this setting to specify your speaker configuration
