Manual speaker setup

This receiver allows you to make detailed settings to optimize the surround sound performance. You only need to make these settings once (unless you change the placement of your current speaker system or add new speakers.).

These settings are designed to fine-tune your system, but if you’re satisfied with the settings made in Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC) on page 11, it isn’t necessary to make all of these settings.

Caution

• The test tones used in the System Setup are output at high volume (the volume increases to 0db automatically).
