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 customize your system, but if you’re satisfied with the settings made in Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC) on page 8, it isn’t necessary to make all of these settings.

Caution

•The test tones used in the System Setup are output at high volume.

following speakers:2

•Front – Select LARGE if your front speakers reproduce bass frequencies effectively, or if you didn’t connect a subwoofer. Select SMALL to send the bass frequencies to the subwoofer.

Note

1If you’re using a THX speaker setup, set all speakers to SMALL.

2If you select SMALL for the front speakers the subwoofer will automatically be fixed to YES. Also, the center and surround speakers can’t be set to LARGE if the front speakers are set to SMALL. In this case, all bass frequencies are sent to the subwoofer.
