The Surround Setup menu

Making receiver settings from the Surround Setup menu

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 Introduction to home theater on page 37, it isn’t necessary to make all of these settings.

Important

•For many of the settings below, you’ll have to connect the setup microphone to the front panel and place it about ear level at your normal listening position. See Introduction to home theater on page 37 if you’re unsure how to do this. Also see Other problems when using the Auto Surround Setup on page 39 for notes regarding high background noise levels and other possible interference.

•If you’re using a subwoofer, switch it on and turn up the volume to the middle position.

•After three minutes of inactivity during the Auto setup options (including Professional Acoustic Calibration EQ measurement), the OSD will go to sleep until a button is pressed. With other screens, the receiver automatically exits and no settings will be made.

Caution

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

1 Switch on the receiver and your TV.

If headphones are connected to the receiver, disconnect them.

2Using the remote control, press RECEIVER on the touch screen, then press the SYSTEM SETUP button.
