6Unplug the earphone-type microphones.

When unplugging the microphones, pull on the plug, not the cord itself.

NOTES

Do not press any buttons on the remote control or the front panel of the receiver during Precise Surround Setup; otherwise, the receiver stops setting and returns to the normal operation mode.

After “COMPLETE” is displayed, the Precise Surround Setup results are applied to the speaker settings.

The speaker size measured by Precise Surround Setup may be different from that of the manual setting recommendation (see page 30). Precise Surround Setup measures the speaker size not only by the cone speaker size but also by the other speaker features.

There may be a case that the receiver fails to detect subwoofer and does not activate it (no optimized test tone comes out of the subwoofer).

In such a case, set the volume level of the subwoofer higher and perform Precise Surround Setup again.

When you change your listening environment, such as speakers, speaker position, your listening position or so, perform Precise Surround Setup again to optimize the speaker settings.

Depending on the listening environment, Precise Surround Setup may not measure the speaker settings accurately. In such a case, adjust the settings manually. See pages 29 to 31, and 33.

The supplied earphone-type microphones cannot be used as headphones.

When the AV COMPU LINK remote control system works during Precise Surround Setup, this receiver stops setting and returns to the normal operation mode.

7 Turning the frequency optimizing function off

7 Checking the frequency responses corrected by Precise Surround Setup

You can check the current settings of the frequency responses with test tones from speakers and the indications on the display when the frequency optimizing function is activated.

From the remote control ONLY:

1Press TEST to check the frequency response of each speaker on the display.

TEST

A test tone also comes from each speaker in the following order:

FL (Left front speaker) = C (Center speaker) = FR (Right front speaker) = SR (Right surround speaker) = SBR (Right surround back speaker)* = SBL (Left surround back speaker)* = SL (Left surround speaker) = SW (Subwoofer) * When using a single speaker for the surround back

speaker, the test tone comes out of “SB (Surround back speaker)” instead of “SBR” and “SBL.”

After performing Precise Surround Setup, the receiver
