Manual speaker setup

This receiver allows you to make detailed settings to optimize
the surround sound performance. You only need to make
these settings once (unless you change the placement of
your current speaker system or add new speakers).
These settings are designed to fine-tune your system, but if
you're satisfied with the settings made in Automatically
setting up for surround sound (MCACC) on page 19, it isn't
necessary to make all of these settings.
CAUTION
• The test tones used in the System Setup are output at
high volume.
Important
• Depending on the Pre Out Setting, there will be
differences in the speaker items that can be adjusted. The
OSD display for these operating instructions is an
example of when the Pre Out Setting is set to Surr. Back.

Speaker Setting

Use this setting to specify your speaker configuration (size,
number of speakers). It is a good idea to make sure that the
settings made in Automatically setting up for surround sound
(MCACC) on page 19 are correct.
