Performing initial setup
operations
Before using your receiver for the first time,
adjust SET UP parameters so that the receiver
correspond to your system. For the adjustable
parameters, see the table on page 56. See pages
17–22 for speaker settings and page 39 for
other settings.
Multi channel surround
setup
For the best possible surround sound, all
speakers should be the same distance from the
listening position (A).
However, the receiver lets you place the center
speaker up to 5 feet closer (B), the surround
speakers up to 15 feet closer (C) and the
surround back speaker up to 15 feet closer (D)
to the listening position.
The front speakers can be placed from 3 to 23
feet from the listening position (A).
You can place the surround speakers either
behind you or to the side, depending on the
shape of your room (etc.).
