speakers, they can be used for bi-amping the
front speakers or as an independent speaker
system in another room.

Setup menu
on page 99 if you’re not already at

In a 7.1-channel surround system with
surround speakers placed directly at the sides
of the listening position, the surround sound of

that the surround sound is heard from
diagonally to the rear as it should be.

speakers is positioned right beside you.

IN REAR – Select when the surround
speaker is positioned obliquely behind you.

1 Depending on the positions of the speakers and the sound source, in some cases it may not be possible to achieve

good results. In this case, set the setting to

ON SIDE or IN REAR.
