Fine Setting Of The Speakers; Advanced Setting - RCA RT2280 User Manual

Fine Setting of the Speakers

This receiver supports a wide range of speakers and
subwoofers. 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 adjust the speakers' 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 shown in the display.
You can listen to that speaker and rotate the MULTI
JOG to adjust the level.

Try both + and - settings and select the one
that has better bass effect.
• If your unit comes with speakers
(RT2280/2250), always set all speakers size to
"small" to protect them and optimize the
sound quality.
