An error message will appear on the display. In such a case, see “Troubleshooting for Precise Surround Setup“ on page 19.

A test tone comes out of the left and right front speaker and subwoofer with the volume of the tone increasing gradually, then Precise Surround Setup starts detecting the speaker and subwoofer information.

When starting Precise Surround Setup, the muting mode and Dimmer are automatically canceled.

“MEASURING 1” flashes on the display.

Current speaker*1

*1 When the current speaker is the right or left surround back speaker, two surround back speaker indicators () light up at a time.

A test tone comes out of each speaker in the following order, then the microphones pick up the test tones and feedback it to the receiver:

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)

Do not touch the microphones while the microphones are picking up the test tones.

The receiver generates test tones again.

Precise Surround Setup starts detecting, adjusts the sound output level from each speaker, and corrects the frequency response of each speaker.

• “MEASURING 2” flashes on the display.

When Precise Surround Setup is completed, “COMPLETE” appears and the PSS indicator lights up on the display.

PSS indicator

An optimized test tone comes out of each speaker so that you can confirm the results of Precise Surround Setup, and the corrected frequency response of each speaker appears on the display at the same time.

See “Checking the frequency responses corrected by Precise Surround Setup” on page 18 about the frequency responses on the display.

The receiver automatically returns to the normal operation mode after all the test tones have been output from the speakers.
