Basic settings
To obtain the best possible sound effect from Surround/DSP modes (see pages 25 to 29), you need to set up the speaker and subwoofer information after all the connections are completed. From pages 14 to 19, how to set speakers and other basic items of the receiver are explained.
Setting the speaker information
The distance from your listening point to the speakers is one of the important elements to obtain the best possible sound effect for the Surround/DSP modes.
By using Smart Surround Setup, the following are automatically calculated by one simple
•Speaker distance (compared to that of the closest speaker)
•Speaker output level
NOTES
•To set the speaker information effectively using Smart Surround Setup, unplug the power cords of all the components connected to this receiver and the subwoofer which may cause noise.
•Before starting Smart Surround Setup, set the speaker information correctly (SML, LRG, or NO) according to your speakers except the subwoofer (see page 16).
•When the setting is made by Smart Surround Setup, the speaker distance and output level you have set before will be inactive.
•If you have turned off the display, cancel the Dimmer (see page 12); otherwise, you cannot see the information on the display during Smart Surround Setup.
•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.
From the remote control ONLY:

*4 Each speaker’s output level
When your clapping sound is not detected correctly,
“SETTING UP” appears again after one of the following messages appears on the display.
SILENT: • The receiver detects sound from only the left and right front speakers.
•The receiver detects no sound from the front speakers and detects sound from at least one of
other speakers.
