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.

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.

Use to select the size (and number) of each of the
following speakers:

bass frequencies effectively, or if you didn't connect a
subwoofer. Select SMALL to send the bass frequencies to
the subwoofer.

bass frequencies effectively, or select SMALL to send
bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If
you didn't connect a center speaker, choose NO (the
center channel is sent to the other speakers).
