If the speaker configuration displayed isn’t correct, use

the (cursor up/down) buttons to select Retry. Follow the instructions from step 8.

If the configuration is incorrect and you want to input the

settings manually, select ERR Fix SP. Use (cursor up/down) to select the speaker and to specify the size (and number for surround back). When you’re finished, go to the next step.

If you see an ERR message in the right side column, there may be a problem with the speaker connection. If selecting Retry (above) doesn’t fix the problem, turn off the power and check the speaker connections.
