To obtain the best possible surround sound, set the size of the speakers you have connected and their distance from your listening position. Then use the test tone to adjust the level and the balance of the speakers to the same level.

Select [SPEAKER SETUP] in the Setup Display. For details, see “Using the Setup Display” (page 71).

The default settings are underlined.
