Choosing your receiver setup

Even though you may already have your system up and running after using the 5 minute guide on pages 6 to 10, you should also be sure to complete the following set up operations to ensure the best possible surround sound. This is particularly important when using Dolby surround. You only need to make these settings once (unless you change the placement of your current speaker system or add new speakers, etc.). Refer to the following pages for details on each of the settings.

If you are using the Pioneer S-FCRW220 speaker system, you’ll have to set the Crossover frequency to 200kHz. You can leave the Speaker setting and the Subwoofer setting in the default settings.
