Speaker Settings

The RX-V1 has seven SPEAKER SET items in the SET MENU that you must set according to the number of speakers in your configuration and their size. The following table summarizes these SPEAKER SET items, and shows the initial settings as well as other possible settings. If the initial settings are not appropriate for your speaker configuration, change the settings in the SET MENU (see page 41).
