Note
1 If you are planning on bi-amping your front speakers, or setting up a separate speaker system in another room, read through
Surround back speaker setting on page 36 and make sure to connect your speakers as necessary before continuing.
2 • Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes identical speakers with cone sizes of around 12 cm will end up
with different size settings. You can correct the setting manually using the Speaker Setting on page 42.
• The subwoofer distance setting may be farther than the actual distance from the listening position. This setting should be
accurate (taking delay and room characteristics into account) and generally does not need to be changed.
