SETTING THE SPEAKER SETUP

After you have installed this receiver and connected all the components, you should adjust the speaker settings for the optimum sound acoustics according to your environment and speaker layout.

Even when you change speakers, speaker positions, or the layout of your listening environment, you should adjust the speaker settings, too.

Note:

• Because the microphone for Auto Speaker Setup is designed for use with this receiver, to use the auto speaker setup function, do not use a microphone other than the one supplied with this receiver.

When selecting the AUTO SPEAKER SETUP

Auto Speaker Setup lets you avoid troublesome listening-based speaker setup and achieve good surround sound. You should connect the supplied microphone to the SETUP MIC jack so that this receiver can analyze the information from a series of test tones emitted from speakers and can adjust the size, distance and sound level of each speaker automatically.

If you want to personalize your speaker setup and channel level setup by making the settings manually, perform the “When selecting the MANUAL SPEAKER SETUP” procedure on page 42, “Adjusting each channel level with test tone” procedure on page 31 and “Adjusting the current channel level”on page 32.

Preparations

1.Connect the supplied microphone to the SETUP MIC jack on the rear panel,(For details, refer to “CONNECTING MICROPHONE” on page 9)

2.Place the microphone on a flat level surface at your normal listening position.

Ensure there are no obstacles between the speakers and the microphone.
