low as possible (see also Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup on

 

page 39). If the noise level cannot be kept low enough, you will have to set up

 

the surround sound manually (page 94).

 

• When using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURROUND

 

BACK L (Single) terminals.

 

• To use a 5.1-channel speaker set, use the surround speakers for the surround

 

channel, not the surround back channel.

 

• Make sure there are no obstacles between the speakers and the microphone.

 

• If Reverse Phase is displayed, try the following:

 

– The speaker’s wiring (+ and –) may be inverted. Check the speaker

 

connections.

 

– Depending on the type of speakers and their installation conditions, Reverse

 

Phase may be displayed even if the speakers are properly connected. If this

 

happens, select GO NEXT and continue.

 

– If the speaker is not pointed to the microphone (listening position) or when

 

using speakers that affect the phase (dipole speakers, reflective speakers, etc.),

 

it may not be possible to properly identify the polarity.
