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 (Auto
MCACC & Full Band Phase Control) on page 45, it isn’t
necessary to make all of these settings.
CAUTION
• The test tones used in the Manual SP Setup are
output at high volume.
1 Select ‘Manual SP Setup’, then press ENTER.
See Making receiver settings from the System Setup menu
on page 120 if you’re not already at this screen.
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:
• Surr Back System – Specifies how you are using your
surround back speakers (see below).
• Speaker Setting – Specifies the size and number of
speakers you’ve connected (see below).
• Channel Level – Adjusts the overall balance of your
speaker system (page 122).
• Speaker Distance – Specifies the distance of your
speakers from the listening position (page 123).
• X-Curve – Adjusts the tonal balance of your speaker
system for movie soundtracks (page 123).
• THX Audio Setting – Specifies whether you are
using a THX speaker setup (page 124).
3 Make the adjustments necessary for each setting,
pressing RETURN to confirm after each screen.
Surround back speaker setting
• Default setting: Normal
There are several ways you can use the surround back
speaker channels with this system. In addition to a
normal home theater setup where they are used for the
surround back speakers, they can be used for bi-amping
the front speakers or as an independent speaker system
in another room.
1 Select ‘Surr Back System’ from the Manual SP
Setup menu.
See
Making receiver settings from the System Setup menu
on page 120 if you’re not already at this screen.
2 Select the surround back speaker setting.
• Normal – Select for normal home theater use with
surround back speakers in your main (speaker
system A) setup.
• Speaker B – Select to use the (surround back) B
speaker terminals to listen to stereo playback in
another room (see
Switching the speaker system on
page 88).
• Front Bi-Amp – Select this setting if you’re bi-
amping your front speakers (see
Bi-amping your
speakers on page 25).
• ZONE 2 – Select to use the (surround back) B
speaker terminals for an independent system in
another zone (see
Using the MULTI-ZONE controls on
page 88).
3 When ‘Setting Change?’ is displayed, select Yes.
If No is selected, the setting is not changed.
You will return to the Manual SP Setup menu.

a good idea to make sure that the settings made in

MCACC & Full Band Phase Control) on page 45 are
correct. Note that this setting applies to all MCACC
presets, and cannot be set independently.
