Configuring the speakers

Setting the speaker distance from your normal listening position

Each speaker can be set between 1 and 30 feet (0.3 and 9 meters) in 1-foot (0.3 meter) increments. Select the setting closest to the actual distance from the speaker to your normal listening position.

Press the MENU button on the front panel or SETUP button on the remote controller button to exit the Setup menu.

Calibrating the speaker levels

Use this menu to set the volume for each speaker so that each volume is heard by the listener at the same level. This is especially important for speaker layouts where the left and right speakers are at different distances or in asymmetrical positions due to room designs and configurations. These settings and the distance settings performed in the Speaker Distance menu are vital to create the proper sound space and dynamics.
