Basic settings

To obtain the best possible sound effect from Surround/DSP modes (see pages 25 to 29), you need to set up the speaker and subwoofer information after all the connections are completed. From pages 14 to 19, how to set speakers and other basic items of the receiver are explained.

Setting the speaker information automatically—Smart Surround Setup

The distance from your listening point to the speakers is one of the important elements to obtain the best possible sound effect for the Surround/DSP modes.

By using Smart Surround Setup, the following are automatically calculated by one simple action—clapping hands.

•Speaker distance (compared to that of the closest speaker)

•Speaker output level

NOTES

•To set the speaker information effectively using Smart Surround Setup, unplug the power cords of all the components connected to this receiver and the subwoofer which may cause noise.

•Before starting Smart Surround Setup, set the speaker information correctly (SML, LRG, or NO) according to your speakers except the subwoofer (see page 16).

•When the setting is made by Smart Surround Setup, the speaker distance and output level you have set before will be inactive.

•If you have turned off the display, cancel the Dimmer (see page 12); otherwise, you cannot see the information on the display during Smart Surround Setup.

•Smart Surround Setup will not be done correctly if you or other object blocks the sound.

•When you change your speakers, do the following procedure again.

From the remote control ONLY:

When operating the receiver

using the remote control, set

the mode selector to

“AUDIO/TV/VCR/DBS.”

1Take your position where you listen to the sound.

• Make sure speaker cables are connected firmly.

2Press and hold SMART SURROUND SETUP until “SETTING UP” flashes on the display.

EQ C.TONE		VIRTUAL SB AUDIO P. BASS			TA NEWS INFO RDS TUNED ST AUTO MUTING SLEEP AUTO MODE

3Confirm that “SETTING UP” stops flashing, then clap your hands over your head once while “SETTING UP” still remains on the display.

The receiver starts detecting the level of the sound coming

through each speakers (except the subwoofer).

When your clapping sound is detected successfully,

“SUCCESSFUL” appears on the display, then the values set are shown as follows:

Ex.: *1 *2 *3 *4

L R C

LS RS

Then the receiver returns to normal operation mode.

*1 Standard channel (the closest speaker).

This speaker position now works as the reference position (“0m/ft”) and other speakers’ distance is shown by the difference with this reference speaker position.

*2 L: Left front speaker

R:Right front speaker

C:Center speaker

LS: Left surround speaker

RS: Right surround speaker

*3 Difference of each speaker position in distance (in meters or feet).

*4 Each speaker’s output level (–6 to +6).

When your clapping sound is not detected correctly,

“SETTING UP” appears again after one of the following messages appears on the display.

SILENT: • The receiver detects sound from only the left and right front speakers.

•The receiver detects no sound from the front speakers and detects sound from at least one of

other speakers.

SILENT-ALL:The receiver cannot detect any sound from any

speakers for about 15 seconds.

FAILED: The receiver cannot detect sound from the left or right front speaker.

In this case, repeat step 3.
