Basic settings

To obtain the best possible sound effect from Surround/DSP modes (see pages 46 to 50), you need to set up the speaker and subwoofer information after all the connections are completed. From pages 23 to 33, how to set speakers and other basic items of the receiver are explained.

Setting the speaker information automatically—Smart Surround Setup

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

By using Smart Surround Setup, the following are automatically calculated by one simple action—clapping hands.

Speaker distance (compared to that of the closest speaker)

Speaker output level (except the subwoofer)

NOTES

Smart Surround Setup may not work properly with some speakers, or some speakers may cause a noise after Smart Surround Setup finishes. If Smart Surround Setup does not work properly, adjust the speaker distance and output level manually. See pages 29 and 37 for the manual adjustment.

Before starting Smart Surround Setup, set the speaker information correctly (SMALL, LARGE, or NO) according to your speakers except the subwoofer (see page 28).

When the setting is made by Smart Surround Setup, the speaker distance and output level you have set before will be inactive.

You can see the setting process on the TV screen and the display during Smart Surround Setup. If you have turned off the display, cancel the Dimmer (see page 21); otherwise, you cannot see the information on the display.

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

When you change your speakers, do the following procedure again.

In this section, the on-screen display on the TV screen is used for explaining.

The on-screen display does not appear on the TV screen when the video input setting (see page 20) is set to “HDMI” or “RGB.”

• On the display, “SETTING UP” stops flashing.

The receiver starts detecting the level of the sound coming through each speaker (except the subwoofer).
