SURROUND SETUP
1 CHANNEL LEVEL should be selected. If
it isn’t use the
5∞ buttons to select
and press ENTER.
2 There are three ways to set the
CHANNEL LEVEL: MANUAL; SEMI
AUTO; AUTO. Select a setting mode
with the
5∞ buttons and pressing
ENTER. Test tones will be output.
MANUAL: For this setting method you move the test
tone manually and adjust the channel level.
SEMI AUTO: in this setting the test tone moves by
itself and you set the levels.
AUTO: This way of setting the levels is like that de-
scribed in the Quick Start Guide (p.14-16). The levels are
set automatically by the amplifier as it outputs the test
tones. For this setup you must have the setup mic
connected (see p.14).
WARNING : Be prepared! The test tones are output at
a high volume level.
MASTER VOLUME rotates to the reference position (0 dB).
After a few seconds the test tone is output.
CHANNEL LEVEL (channel balance)
The following steps show you how to balance the sound output level of your speakers. Proper speaker balance
is essential for obtaining high quality surround sound. If continuing from SPEAKER SYSTEMS go to step 1. If
starting fresh, complete steps 1-4 in “Setting Up for Surround Sound“ (p.40) first. If you’re not sure of the best
setting for your system, we recommend using Auto for the CHANNEL LEVEL.

Setting Up for Surround Sound
If your subwoofer has a volume con-
trol, set it to the middle position be-
fore doing these operations.
memo If you have a subwoofer and like lots of bass, it may seem logical to select LARGE for your front
speakers and PLUS for the subwoofer. This may not, however, yield the best bass results. Depending
on the speaker placement of your room you may actually experience a decrease in the amount of
bass due to what is called "low frequency cancellations". In this case, arrange the position or direction
of speakers. If you can’t get good results, listen to the bass response with it set to PLUS and YES or
the front speakers set to LARGE and SMALL alternatively and let your ears judge which sounds best.
If you have a subwoofer, the easiest option is to route all the bass sounds to it by selecting SMALL
for the front speakers.
