SETTING THE SPEAKER SETUP AUTOMATICALLY (AUTO SPEAKER SETUP)

You should connect the microphone to the SETUP MIC jack so that this receiver can analyze the information from a series of test tones emitted from speakers and can adjust the size, distance and sound level of each speaker automatically.

•If you want to personalize your speaker setup and channel level setup by making the settings manually, perform the

“SETTING THE SPEAKER SETUP MANUALLY” procedure on page 20, “Adjusting each channel level with test tone” procedure on page 32 and “Adjusting the current channel level” procedure on page 33.
