Receiver adjustment

Once the number and position of loudspeakers has been fixed, you can adjust the initial receiver settings for optimum surround sound with the actual setup:

1Set which speakers have been connected to the receiver (see “Menus / SPEAKR SETUP”).

Note: The initial setting of your receiver is: two front speakers left and right: present (cannot be altered)

center speaker: present

two rear speakers: present

subwoofer: present

2Select the size of the speakers (SMALL or LARGE) (see “Menus / SPEAKR SIZES”).

Select SMALL if your speaker is able to reproduce low notes down to at least 80–100 Hz.

Select LARGE if your speaker is able to reproduce low notes down to at least 50 Hz.

(As a rule of thumb, a LARGE speaker has a cone diameter of at least 12 cms (5 inches).)

See the specification sheets of your loudspeakers.

Note: The initial setting of your receiver is: all speakers: SMALL

3Set the distance from the speakers to the listener’s position (see “Menus / SPK DISTANCE”).

Note: The initial setting of your receiver is:

front speakers, left and right: 13 feet (4 meters)

center speaker: 10 feet (3 meters)

rear speakers, left and right: 7 feet (2 meters)
