You can also choose to view the settings by selecting individual parameters from the Analyzed Data Check screen:

•Speaker Setting – The size and number of speakers you’ve connected (see page 44 for more on this)

•Speaker Distance – The distance of your speakers from the listening position (see page 46 for more on this)

•Channel Level – The overall balance of your speaker system (see page 45 for more on this)

•Acoustic Cal EQ – Adjustments to the frequency balance of your speaker system based on the acoustic characteristics of your room (see page 41 for more on this)
