Using the Setup menu

From the Setup menu you can access all the

surround sound settings of the system1, including channel levels, speaker distances and dynamic range adjustment. The Auto MCACC feature (page 10) should give you the best surround sound setup. However you may find that by further adjustment of the surround sound settings you can improve the surround sound in your listening room.

ENTER to choose the setting you want to adjust.

The available settings are shown in the front panel display.2

2Use / to adjust then press ENTER to confirm and exit.

Note that using the Auto MCACC (page 10) again overwrites the speaker settings.

Use / to switch between channels in the following order:

L – Front left speaker

C – Center speaker

The channel level range is ±10 dB.

DRC OFF (default) – No dynamic range adjustment (use when listening at higher volumes)

DRC MID – Mid setting

DRC HIGH – Dynamic range is reduced (loud sounds are reduced in volume while quieter sounds are increased)

Note

1There are other settings you can adjust from the Setup menu; these are explained in Improving poor FM reception on page 14 and Dimming the display on page 39.

2The setup menu is exited automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity.

3• You can’t adjust center/surround when Stereo or Virtual playback is selected (or with stereo sources using the Auto mode).

The Channel level setting is not available when headphones are connected.

The speaker volume can be adjusted at any time by pressing SHIFT+TEST TONE and then using / to adjust the channel levels. The test tone automatically moves from speaker to speaker in the order listed above. You should hear the test tone at the same volume from each speaker when seated in the main listening position. Press ENTER when you’re finished.

Since the subwoofer produces ultra-low frequencies it may seem quieter than it actually is.
