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 23, it isn’t necessary to make all of these settings.

Important

•VSX-1023 only: Depending on the Speaker System setting, there will be differences in the speaker items that can be adjusted. The OSD display for these operating instructions is an example of when the Speaker System setting is set to

Surr. Back.
