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.
