Speaker system hookups (continued)
To avoid damaging your speakers
Make sure that you turn down the volume before you turn off the receiver. When you turn on the receiver, the volume remains at the level you turn off the receiver.
Performing initial setup operations
Before using your receiver for the first time, adjust MAIN MENU parameters so that the receiver correspond to your system. For the adjustable parameters, see the table on page 39. See pages
Performing initial setup
operations
Once you have hooked up the speakers and turned on the power, clear the receiver’s memory. Then specify the speaker parameters (size, position, etc.) and perform any other initial setup operations necessary for your system.
Tip
To check the audio output during settings (to set up while outputting the sound), check the connection (see page 17).

Multi channel surround
setup
For the best possible surround sound, all speakers should be the same distance from the listening position (A).
However, the receiver lets you to place the center speaker up to 1.5 meters closer (B) and the surround speakers up to 4.5 meters closer (C) to the listening position.
The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to 7.0 meters from the listening position (A).
You can place the surround speakers either behind you or to the side, depending on the shape of your room (etc.). However, we recommend that you place the surround speakers behind you.
