The System Setup menu

Manual speaker setup

This receiver allows you to make detailed settings to

optimize the surround sound performance. You only need

to make these settings once (unless you change the

placement of your current speaker system or add new

speakers).

These settings are designed to fine-tune your system, but

if you’re satisfied with the settings made in Automatically

setting up for surround sound (Auto MCACC) on page 8, it

isn’t necessary to make all of these settings.

Caution

• The test tones used in the System Setup are output at

high volume.

1 Select ‘Manual SP Setup’ then press ENTER.

2 Select the setting you want to adjust.

If you are doing this for the first time, you may want to

adjust these settings in order:

• Speaker Setting – Specify the size and number of

speakers you’ve connected (page 43).

• Crossover Network – Specify which frequencies will

be sent to the subwoofer (page 44).

• Channel Level – Adjust the overall balance of your

speaker system (page 44).

• Speaker Distance – Specify the distance of your

speakers from the listening position (page 45).

• THX Audio Setting – Specify the distance of your

surround back speakers from each other (page 45).

• THX Speaker Setup – Specify whether or not you

have a THX speaker system (page 45).

3 Make the adjustments necessary for each

setting, pressing RETURN to confirm after each

screen.

Speaker Setting

Use this setting to specify your speaker configuration

(size, number of speakers). It is a good idea to make sure

that the settings made in Automatically setting up for

surround sound (Auto MCACC) on page 8 are correct.

1 Select ‘Speaker Setting’ from the Manual SP

Setup menu.

2 Choose the set of speakers that you want to set

then select a speaker size.

Use / to select the size (and number) of each of the

following speakers:

• Front – Select LARGE if your front speakers

reproduce bass frequencies effectively, or if you

didn’t connect a subwoofer. Select SMALL to send

the bass frequencies to the subwoofer.

• Center – Select LARGE if your center speaker

reproduces bass frequencies effectively, or select

SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other

speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect a center

speaker, choose NO (the center channel is sent to

the other speakers).

• Surr – Select LARGE if your surround speakers

reproduce bass frequencies effectively. Select

SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other

speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect

surround speakers choose NO (the sound of the

surround channels is sent to the other speakers).

• SB – Select the number of surround back speakers

you have (one, two or none). Select LARGE if your

surround back speakers reproduce bass frequencies

effectively. Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to

the other speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t

connect surround back speakers choose NO.

• SUB W. – LFE signals and bass frequencies of

channels set to SMALL are output from the

subwoofer when YES is selected (see notes below).

Choose the PLUS setting if you want the subwoofer to

output bass sound continuously or you want deeper

bass (the bass frequencies that would normally come

out the front and center speakers are also routed to

the subwoofer). If you did not connect a subwoofer

choose NO (the bass frequencies are output from

other speakers).

3 When you’re finished, press RETURN.

You return to the Manual SP Setup menu.

Note

1 If you select SMALL for the front speakers the subwoofer will automatically be fixed to YES. Also, the center, surround, and surround back speakers can’t

be set to LARGE if the front speakers are set to SMALL. In this case, all bass frequencies are sent to the subwoofer.

2 • If the surround speakers are set to NO, the surround back speakers will automatically be set to NO.

• If you selected Speaker B or Front Bi-Amp (in Surround back speaker setting on page 38) you can’t adjust the surround back settings.

• If you select one surround back speaker only, make sure that speaker is hooked up to the left surround back terminal.
