Setting Up The Receiver; Choosing Your Receiver Setup - Pioneer D514 Operating Instructions Manual

Setting up the receiver

Choosing your receiver setup

Even though you may already have your system
up and running after using the 5 minute guide
on pages 7 to 11, you should also be sure to
complete the following set up operations to
ensure the best possible surround sound. This
is particularly important when using Dolby
surround. You only need to make these settings
once (unless you change the placement of your
current speaker system or add new speakers,
etc.). Refer to the following pages for details on
each of the settings.
If you are using the Pioneer S-FCRW230/240
speaker system, you'll have to set the
Crossover frequency to 200 Hz. You can leave
the Speaker setting and the Subwoofer
setting in the default settings.
