Setting Up for Surround Sound
NORMAL setup
This is the manual method to setup your sound parameters for surround sound. It is more exact than the QUICK
set up and should give you finer surround sound.
You only need to do these settings once (unless you change the placement of your current speaker system or
add new speakers, etc.).
Follow steps 1–3 on page 34, if necessary, to get to
the starting point mentioned here.
1 Use the
5∞ buttons to select
NORMAL. Press the ENTER
button.

2 Use the
5∞ buttons to navigate
through the NORMAL setup
menus. When you have the
setting you want in a particular
menu, press ENTER.
In each mode the current settings are displayed.
We suggest you adjust all these settings when
you first hook up the receiver. That gets them out
of the way and you won't need to return to this
setting mode unless you change your home set up
by adding new speakers (etc.).

CHANNEL DELAY (See page 40)
Use to select the distance settings for each set
of speakers. You must add distance settings to
all your speakers for the most realistic surround
sound. Adding a slight delay to some speakers
enhances sound separation and is particularly
important for achieving a surround sound effect.
You need to figure out the distance from your
listening position to your speakers to add the
proper delay.
