Setting up and adjusting the speakers
You can perform setup and adjustment of the speakers connected to the receiver by following the procedures below.
1 Select the speaker impedance.
For more information, see “Setting up the speaker impedance” (page 12).
2 Select the speaker size and distance.
For more information, see “Setting up the speaker size and distance” (page 12).
3 Adjust the speaker level.
For more information, see “Adjusting the speaker levels and balance” (page 15).
4 Check the connections of the connected component.
For more information, see “Checking the connections” (page 16).
Setting up the speaker impedance
Set up the impedance value in the SET UP menu depending on the speakers you connected.
The initial setting is 8 ohms.

2 Press MAIN MENU repeatedly to select “<SET UP>”.
3 Press F/f repeatedly to select “SP
IMP”.
4 Use G/g to select “4” or “8” according to the impedance value of the connected speakers.
Speaker impedance
To enjoy the best possible multi channel surround, connect speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms or higher to the FRONT, CENTER, SURROUND and SURROUND BACK terminals, and set the speaker impedance to “8” in the SET UP menu. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with your speakers if you are not sure of their impedance.
(This information is often on the back of the speaker.)
Alternatively, you may connect speakers with nominal impedances between 4 and 8 ohms to any or all of the speaker terminals. However, be sure to set the speaker impedance to “4” in the SET UP menu, if you connect even one speaker with a nominal impedance between 4 and 8 ohms.
Setting up the speaker size and distance
Use the SET UP menu to set the size and distance of the speakers connected to the receiver. You can select “EASY” (automatic) or “NORM.” (manual) for the speaker size and distance settings.
The initial setting is “EASY”.
1 Press ?/1 to turn on the system.
2 Press MAIN MENU repeatedly to select “<SET UP>”.
3 Press F/f repeatedly to select “XXXX
SET”.
4 Use G/g to select “EASY” or “NORM.”.
•EASY
Selecting “EASY” allows you to set up your speakers automatically by selecting a pre- defined speaker pattern. Check your speaker pattern and perform speaker setup, referring to the supplied “Installation Guide”.
•NORM.
Selecting “NORM.” allows you to adjust the settings of each speaker manually. You can set up the size or the distance of each speaker in the SET UP menu. For more information, see “Speaker setup parameters” below.

(SUB WOOFER) (Subwoofer)
•YES
If you connect a subwoofer, select “YES”.
•NO
If you did not connect a subwoofer, select “NO”. This activates the bass redirection circuitry and outputs the LFE (Low Frequency Effect) signals from other speakers.
