Setting up for surround sound

You can use this system right out of the box for surround sound with just the default settings. However, for really great surround sound, we recommend that you spend a few minutes making some settings that match this system to your listening room. These include setting the distances from your listening position to your speakers, and balancing the speaker volumes. Unless you change the layout of your speakers or main listening position, you only need to make these settings once.

Setting the speaker distances

1Press SYS, then SETUP.

This puts the remote into surround setup mode.

2Press the @ or # button until you see FRONT in the display.

3Use the % and Þ buttons to set the distance from your main listening position to the front speakers.

Ideally, your listening position should be equidistant from the two front speakers.

The default setting is 3m. You can adjust the range from 0.3 m to 9.0m in steps of 0.3m.

4Press # to move on to the

CENTER speaker setting.

5Use the % and Þ buttons to set the distance from your main listening position to the center speaker.

The default setting is 3m. You can adjust the range from 0.3 m to 9.0m in steps of 0.3m.

6Press # to move on to the

SURROUND speakers setting.

7Use the % and Þ buttons to set the distance from your main listening position to the surround speakers.
