Setting up the receiver

Choosing your receiver setup

To ensure the best possible surround sound, be sure to complete the following set up operations. This is particularly important when using DTS and 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-FCRW230/ 730 speaker system, make sure the Subwoofer setting is set to YES and the Speaker setting is set to FS-CS-SS. You’ll also have to change the Crossover frequency setting to 200Hz.
