Automatically setting up for surround sound

The Auto Surround Setup measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area, taking into account ambient noise, speaker size and distance, and tests for both channel delay and channel level. After you have set up the microphone provided with your system, the receiver uses the information from a series of test tones to optimize the speaker settings and equalization for your particular room.

Make sure you do this before moving on to Playing a source on page 14.

Important

•Make sure the microphone and speakers are not moved during the Auto Surround Setup.

•Using the Auto Surround Setup will overwrite any existing speaker settings in the receiver.

•The receiver will automatically exit the on-screen menu after three minutes of inactivity.

Caution

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