2Select the MCACC preset you want to clear. Make sure you don’t clear an MCACC preset you’re currently using (this can’t be undone).

3Select ‘Clear’ to confirm and clear the preset. Clear Complete! shows in the OSD to confirm the MCACC preset has been cleared, then you automatically return to the Data Management setup menu.

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) 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 46).

•Speaker Distance – Specify the distance of your speakers from the listening position (page 47).

•Bass Peak Level – Prevent bass tones from distorting the sound from your speakers (page 47).

•X-Curve– Adjust the tonal balance of your speaker system for movie soundtracks (page 47).

•THX Audio Setting – Specify whether you are using a THX speaker setup (page 48).

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) 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.

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.
