Settings for the Speakers

(SPEAKER SETUP)

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 volume and the balance of the speakers to the same level.

This setting is effective when connecting the speaker with 5.1CH OUTPUT jacks (page 22).

Select “SPEAKER SETUP” in the setup display. For details, see “Using the Setup Display” (page 77).

The default settings are underlined.
