Fine Setting of the Speakers

This receiver supports a wide range of speakers and subwoofers. For optimal surround sound enjoyment, you need to register the speaker selection settings of your audio system. If you buy this receiver with accompanied speaker package, then this step has been done for you.

Also, to make the surround sound more effective and suit the acoustic conditions in your listening room, you need to delay the signal from some of the speak- ers. Such channel delay compensates for center or surround speakers that are closer to listening position than the front speakers. You can make use of the TEST/ SET UP button to adjust the speakers’ relative loudness.

The TEST/ SET UP button

You can adjust the relative loudness of the individual speakers by TEST/ SET UP button. In Dolby modes, press the button briefly. A short noise will be heard in the speakers one by one. The speaker having the noise at that moment will be shown in the display. You can listen to that speaker and rotate the MULTI JOG to adjust the level.

You can also change the setup of the speakers by pressing the TEST/ SET UP button until the display EN shows L/R SML or L/R LRG which enables you to set

the size of the front speaker. Available Selections:

Surround Speaker selection	Large/ Small/ None
Subwoofer selection	Yes/ No
Subwoofer Phase	+ / -
Front Speaker distance	0-40 ft

Pressing TEST/SETUP repeatedly while the display is still showing L/R LRG (about 5 seconds), the display will toggle among: front, center, surround, sub- woofer, subwoofer phase and speakers’ distance setup. Set the speaker size or speakers’ distance by rotating the MULTI JOG.

NOTE

•The sub-woofer selection will always be YES when the main speakers are set to small (SML).

•For the subwoofer phase setting, it will be affected by how you locate the subwoofer. Try both + and - settings and select the one that has better bass effect.

•If your unit comes with speakers (RT2280/2250), always set all speakers size to “small” to protect them and optimize the sound quality.
