Fine Setting of the Speakers

This receiver supports a wide range of speakers and
sub w oofers. For optimal surround sound enjoyment,
you need to register the speaker selection settings of
your audio system. If you buy this receiver with
accompanied speaker package, then this step has
been done for you.
Also, to make the surround sound more effective and
suit the acoustic conditions in your listening room,
you need to delay the signal from some of the speak-
ers. Such channel delay compensates for center or
surround speakers that are closer to listening position
than the front speakers. You can make use of the
TEST/ SET UP button to control the speakers such as
their relative loudness.

The TEST/ SET UP button

You can adjust the relative loudness of the individual
speakers by TEST/ SET UP button. In Dolby modes,
press the button briefly. A short noise will be heard in
the speakers one by one. The speaker having the
noise at that moment will be sho w n in the display.
You can listen to that speaker and rotate the MULTI
JOG to adjust the level.

Speaker Configurations

You can also change the setup of the speakers by
pressing the TEST/ SET UP button until the display
sho ws L / R L R G w hich enables you to set the volume
size of the front speaker.
