Manual speaker setup

This receiver allows you to make detailed settings to optimize the surround sound performance. You only need to make these settings once (unless you change the placement of your current speaker system or add new speakers).

These settings are designed to customize your system, but if you’re satisfied with the settings made in Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC & Full Band Phase Control) on page 8, it isn’t necessary to make all of these settings.

Caution

• The test tones used in the System Setup are output at high volume.

1 Select ‘Manual SP Setup’ then press ENTER.

2 Select the setting you want to adjust.

If you are doing this for the first time, you may want to adjust these settings in order:

•Speaker Setting – Specify the size and number of speakers you’ve connected (see below).

•Channel Level – Adjust the overall balance of your speaker system (page 51).

•Speaker Distance – Specify the distance of your speakers from the listening position (page 51).

•X-Curve– Adjust the tonal balance of your speaker system for movie soundtracks (page 52).

•THX Audio Setting – Specify whether you are using a THX speaker setup (page 52).

3Make the adjustments necessary for each setting, pressing RETURN to confirm after each screen.

Speaker Setting

Use this setting to specify your speaker configuration (size, number of speakers and crossover frequency). It is a good idea to make sure that the settings made in Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC &

Full Band Phase Control) on page 8 are correct.1 Note that this setting applies to all MCACC presets, and cannot be set independently.

1Select ‘Speaker Setting’ from the Manual SP Setup menu.

2Choose the set of speakers that you want to set

then select a speaker size.

Use / to select the size (and number) of each of the following speakers:2

•Front – Select LARGE if your front speakers reproduce bass frequencies effectively, or if you didn’t connect a subwoofer. Select SMALL to send the bass frequencies to the subwoofer.

•Center – Select LARGE if your center speaker reproduces bass frequencies effectively, or select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect a center speaker, choose NO (the center channel is sent to the front speakers).

•Surround – Select LARGE if your surround speakers reproduce bass frequencies effectively. Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect surround speakers choose NO (the sound of the surround channels is sent to the front speakers or a subwoofer).

•Surr Back – Select the number of surround back speakers you have (one, two or none).3 Select LARGE if your surround back speakers reproduce bass frequencies effectively. Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect surround back speakers choose NO.

Note

1If you’re using a THX speaker setup, set all speakers to SMALL.

2If you select SMALL for the front speakers the subwoofer will automatically be fixed to YES. Also, the center and surround speakers can’t be set to LARGE if the front speakers are set to SMALL. In this case, all bass frequencies are sent to the subwoofer.

3• If you selected Speaker B or Front Bi-Amp(in Surround back speaker setting on page 42) you can’t adjust the surround back settings.

•If the surround speakers are set to NO, the surround back speakers will automatically be set to NO.

•If you select one surround back speaker only, make sure that speaker is hooked up to the left surround back terminal.
