Manual Speaker Setup; Surround Back Speaker Setting - Pioneer VSX 1019AH-K - AV Receiver - Gloss Operating Instructions Manual

11 The system and the other setup

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 customize your
system, but if you're satisfied with the settings
made in Automatically setting up for surround
sound (Auto MCACC) on page 37, it isn't
necessary to make all of these settings.
CAUTION
• The test tones used in the Manual SP Setup
are output at high volume.
1 Select 'Manual SP Setup', then press
ENTER.
See Making receiver settings from Making
receiver settings from the System Setup menu
on page 93 if you're not already at this screen.

Surround back speaker setting

• Default setting: Normal
There are several ways you can use the
surround back speaker channels with this
system. In addition to a normal home theater
setup where they are used for the surround
back speakers, they can be used for bi-amping
the front speakers or as an independent
speaker system in another room.
1 Select 'Surr Back System' from the
Manual SP Setup menu.
See Making receiver settings from the System
Setup menu on page 93 if you're not already at
this screen.
