Precise Surround Setup

By using Precise Surround Setup, you can optimize the speaker settings easily, quickly and systematically without troublesome adjustments.

To obtain the best possible sound effect from the Surround/ DSP modes, set up the speaker and subwoofer information after all the connections are completed.

Setting the speakers automatically

Precise Surround Setup detects the sound from the speakers to measure your listening environment with dedicated earphone-type microphones (supplied), and automatically adjusts the following in less than 1 minute:

•Speaker size*

•Speaker distance*

•Speaker output level*

•Crossover frequency*

•Frequency response

The receiver generates test tones from each speaker and picks them up with dedicated earphone-type microphones.

The microphones feedback the test tones to the receiver.

*You can also adjust the settings manually. (See pages 29 to 31, and 33.)

7 Before starting Precise Surround Setup

•Connect all of your speakers and subwoofer correctly and confirm their position.

•When subwoofer has a built-in volume and crossover frequency controls, adjust them as follows:

–Set the volume level to the medium.

–Set the crossover frequency to the highest level.

•Precise Surround Setup is not available in the following cases:

–While headphones are connected

–When selecting “A MULTI” for the audio input setting (see page 11)

–When multi-channel PCM signals (see page 41) are coming in with selecting “HDMI” for the audio input setting (see page 11)

•Do not block between the earphone-type microphones and speakers while the microphones are picking up test tones from the speakers.

•If the microphone cord is not long enough to make a connection between the receiver and your listening position, use a stereo extension cord (not supplied).

–You cannot get correct results with a monaural extension cord.

CAUTION:

Be sure that loud test tones will be generated from speakers during Precise Surround Setup.

• The volume of test tones is not adjustable.
