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) on page 37, 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
Making
receiver settings from the System Setup menu
on page 93 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
(page 95).
• Channel Level – Adjusts the overall
balance of your speaker system (page 96).
• Speaker Distance – Specifies the distance
of your speakers from the listening position
(page 97).
• X-Curve – Adjusts the tonal balance of
your speaker system for movie soundtracks
(page 98).
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 93 if you’re not already at
