Receiver adjustment

Once the number and position of loudspeakers has been fixed, you can adjust the initial receiver settings for optimum surround sound with the actual setup:

1Set which speakers have been connected to the receiver (see “Menus / SPEAKR SETUP”).

Note: The initial setting of your receiver is: two front speakers left and right: present (cannot be altered)

center speaker: present

two rear speakers: present

subwoofer: present

2Select the size of the speakers (SMALL or LARGE) (see “Menus / SPEAKR SIZES”).

Select SMALL if your speaker is able to reproduce low notes down to at least 80–100 Hz.
