Speaker settings

To obtain the best possible surround effect from Surround/DSP modes (see pages 28 to 33), you need to set up the speaker and subwoofer information after all the connections are completed. You can set the speaker information using one of the following three methods.

Smart Surround Setup: Set the speakers information automatically by one simple action—clapping hands. The delay time and output level for the center and surround speakers are set automatically.

Quick Setup:Set the speakers and subwoofer information quickly by entering the use of the subwoofer, the number of the speakers, and your room size.

Manual Setup: Set the speakers and subwoofer information manually.

• Before starting the speaker setting, connect and position the speakers and subwoofer (see page 6) and turn on the receiver.

Setting the speakers information automatically—Smart Surround Setup

The distance from your listening point to the speakers is one of the important element to obtain the best possible sound effect for the Surround/DSP modes.

You need to set the delay time of the center and surround speakers relative to the front speakers so that sounds through all the speakers can reach you at the same time (see also page 18).

By using Smart Surround Setup, the speaker delay time and output level are automatically calculated by one simple action—clapping hands.

•To use Smart Surround Setup effectively, connect both the center and surround speakers.

•You can also set the crossover frequency, the low frequency effect attenuator and the dynamic range compression manually (see page 18).

•When you change your speakers, do the following steps again.

To set the speaker information effectively using Smart Surround

Setup, unplug the power cords of all the components connected to this receiver such as a TV, DVD player, STB, VR (VDR or VCR), and subwoofer which may cause noise.

Before you start, remember...

There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the setting is canceled before you finish, start from step 2 again.

3Confirm “SETTING UP” stops flashing and clap your hands over your head once while “SETTING UP” appears on the display.

The receiver starts detecting the level of the sound coming through all speakers (except the subwoofer).

After detecting the sound, one of the following indications appears on the display.

SUCCESSFUL: Sound of your clapping is successfully detected. The receiver sets the delay time and the output level of the center and surround speakers automatically.

SILENT: The receiver cannot detect sound from some speakers.

SILENT-ALL:The receiver cannot detect any sound from all speakers.

FAILED: The receiver cannot detect both right and left channels for the front and/or surround speakers correctly.

•When the receiver cannot detect the sound correctly (“SILENT,” “SILENT-ALL” or “FAILED” appears on the display), “SETTING UP” appears on the display again then repeat step 3.

•The speaker delay time and output levels are set automatically when:

—the receiver detects the sound as “SILENT” twice in succession.

—the receiver detects the sound as “SILENT” at the third time after detecting “SILENT”, “SILENT-ALL” and/or “FAILED” twice.

•When the receiver detects the sound as “SILENT-ALL” or “FAILED” three times, “MANUAL” appears on the display. Set the speaker and subwoofer information using Quick Setup (see page 16) or Manual Setup (see page 17), and the speakers’ output levels for the center and surround speakers (see pages 31 to 33).

To cancel Smart Surround Setup, press SMART S. SETUP while “SETTING UP” flashes on the display.

•Any other operations cannot be done after “SETTING UP” stops flashing. Complete the Smart Surround Setup.

NOTES

•You need to set the subwoofer information and output level manually (see pages 17 and 21).

•When you use Smart Surround Setup, the speaker delay time and output levels you have set before will be ineffective.

•Set the speakers information using Quick Setup (see page 16) or Manual Setup (see page 17), and the speakers’ output levels for the center and surround speakers (see pages 31 to 33) when:

—you like to change the speaker setting made by Smart Surround Setup

—Smart Surround Setup is not done correctly due to some factors such as the environment, speaker types and clapping strength.

•Smart Surround Setup will not be done correctly if your body or other object blocks the sound.

•Do not clap your hands hard because it may hurt your hands.
