Advanced Setup—Continued

Speaker Distance

To get the best from surround sound, it’s important that the sound from each speaker reaches the listener at the same time. To achieve this, you need to specify the dis- tance from each speaker to the listening position.

1

Measure and make a note of the

 

 

distance from each speaker to

 

the listening position.

 

 

2

Press the [RECEIVER] button fol-

 

 

lowed by the [SETUP] button on

 

 

 

the remote controller.

3 Use the Up and Down []/[ ] buttons to select “2. Sp Dis- tance,” and then press the [ENTER] button.

4

While “Unit” is displayed, use the

 

 

Left and Right [ ]/[ ] buttons to

 

select “feet” or “meters”.

feet: Distances in feet. Can be set from 1 to 30 feet in 1-foot steps.

meters: Distances in meters. Can be set from 0.3 to 9 meters in 0.3-meter steps.

5

Use the Down [

] button to

 

select “Front,” and use the Left

 

and Right [ ]/[

] buttons to

specify the distance for the “front speakers,” then press the Down [ ] button to select the next speaker.

6

Repeat step 5 for all speakers.

 

 

Note:

 

Speakers that you set to No or None in

 

the Speaker Configuration (page 34)

 

cannot be selected.

 

 

7

Press the [SETUP] button.

 

 

Setup closes.

 

 

Notes:

•The Center and Subwoofer distances can be set up to 5 ft. (1.5 m) more or less than the Front distance. For example, if the Front distance is set to 20 ft. (6 m), the Center and Subwoofer distances can be set between 15 and 25 ft. (4.5 and 7.5 m).

•The Surround distances can be set up to 5 ft. (1.5 m) more or 15 ft. (4.5 m) less than the Front distance. For example, if the Front distance is set to 20 ft. (6 m), the SurrRight and Surr Left distances can be set between 5 and 25 ft. (1.5 and 7.5 m).

Speaker Levels

With this function, you can adjust the volume of each speaker so that all speakers can be heard equally at the listening position.

Speaker levels cannot be adjusted while the AV receiver is muted.

1

Press the [RECEIVER] button fol-

 

 

lowed by the [SETUP] button on

 

the remote controller.

Use the Up and Down [ ]/[ ]

 

buttons to select “3. Level Cal,”

and then press the [ENTER] but- ton.

A pink noise test tone is output by the front left speaker.

3

Turn up the volume so that you

 

 

can hear the test tone suffi-

 

ciently.

 

While each speaker outputs the test

 

tone, its name appears on the display, as

 

shown.
