Use	to select the frequency and	to

boost or cut the EQ. When you’re finished, go

•The front speakers can’t be adjusted if you selected FRONT ALIGN.

•The OVER indicator shows in the display if the frequency adjustment is too drastic and might distort. If this happens, bring the level down until OVER disappears from the display.

Tip

•Changing the frequency curve of one channel too drastically will affect the overall balance. If the speaker balance seems uneven, you can raise or lower channel levels using test tones with the

TRIM feature. Use		to select TRIM

channel level for the current speaker.

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 fine-tune your system, but if you’re satisfied with the settings made in Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC) on page 9, it isn’t necessary to make all of these settings.

Caution

•The test tones used in the System Setup are output at high volume (the volume increases to –18 dB automatically).
