Setting Up for Surround Sound
NORMAL Setup
This is the manual method to setup your sound parameters for surround sound. You don’t need to do this, however, if you did the AUTO SURROUND SETUP method on page 13. If you feel the settings in the AUTO SURROUND SETUP do not suit your personal tastes, the settings you input here will override them and allow you to adjust the parameters manually.
You only need to do these settings once (unless you change the placement of your current speaker system or add new speakers, etc.). If starting fresh, complete steps

1Use the buttons to select NOR-
MAL. Press the ENTER button.
The setup possibilities appear on your TV.
2Use the buttons to navigate through the NORMAL setup menus. When you have the setting you want in a particular menu, press ENTER.
In each mode, the current settings are displayed. We sug- gest you adjust all these settings when you first hook up the receiver. That gets them out of the way and you won't need to return to this setting mode unless you change your home set up by adding new speakers (etc.).
SPEAKER SETTING (page 41)
Use to specify the type and number of speakers you con- nected.
CHANNEL LEVEL (page 43)
Use to balance the volumes of your different speakers. This is also necessary for the most realistic surround sound.
SPEAKER DISTANCE (page 44)
Use to select the distance settings for each set of speak- ers. You must add distance settings to all your speakers for the most realistic surround sound. Adding a slight delay to some speakers enhances sound separation and is particularly important for achieving a surround sound effect. You need to figure out the distance from your lis- tening position to your speakers to add the proper delay.
See the next four pages for more information on these settings.
