First Time Setup—Continued

Error Messages

While the automatic speaker setup is in progress, one of the following error messages may appear:

Ambient noise is too high

This message appears if there’s too much background noise and the measurements cannot be performed prop- erly. Remove the source of the noise and try again.

One of the front speakers has not been detected.

One of the surround speakers has not been detected.

The right surround back speaker has been detected but the left surround back speaker hasn’t.

The number of speakers detected on the second or third measurment was different to the number detected on the first measurement.

This message appears if saving fails.

To Retry the Automatic Speaker Setup

Press the [ENTER] button.

Make sure speakers that cannot be detected are connected properly.

Changing the Speaker Settings Manually

In some situations, the measurements taken by the auto- matic speaker setup may not provide usable results. If running the speaker setup a second time still doesn’t pro- vide usable results, you’ll have to set the speaker settings manually (see pages 56–60).

Using a Powered Subwoofer

If you’re using a powered subwoofer, because it outputs very low-frequency sound and its position is usually low down, it may not be detected by the automatic speaker setup. In this case, increase the subwoofer’s volume, set it to its highest crossover frequency, and then try running the automatic speaker setup again. Note that if the vol- ume is set too high and the sound distorts, it may not be detected, so use an appropriate volume level. If the sub- woofer has a low-pass filter switch, set it to Off or Direct. Refer to your subwoofer’s instruction manual for details.
