Receiver adjustment

Once the number and position of loudspeakers has been
fixed, you can adjust the initial receiver settings for optimum
surround sound with the actual setup:
1 Set which speakers have been connected to the receiver
(see "Menus / SPEAKR SETUP").
Note: The initial setting of your receiver is:
two front speakers left and right: present
(cannot be altered)
center speaker: present
two rear speakers: present
subwoofer: present
2 Select the size of the speakers (SMALL or LARGE)
(see "Menus / SPEAKR SIZES").
Select SMALL if your speaker is able to reproduce low
notes down to at least 80–100 Hz.
Select LARGE if your speaker is able to reproduce low
notes down to at least 50 Hz.
(As a rule of thumb, a LARGE speaker has a cone diameter
of at least 12 cms (5 inches).)
See the specification sheets of your loudspeakers.
Note: The initial setting of your receiver is:
all speakers: SMALL
3 Set the distance from the speakers to the listener's position
(see "Menus / SPK DISTANCE").
Note: The initial setting of your receiver is:
front speakers, left and right: 13 feet (4 meters)
center speaker: 10 feet (3 meters)
rear speakers, left and right: 7 feet (2 meters)
