Speaker system setting

! Default setting: Normal(SB/FH)

There are several ways you can use the speaker

terminals with this receiver. In addition to a

normal home theater setup where they are

used for the front height speakers or front wide

speakers, they can be used for bi-amping the

front speakers or as an independent speaker

system in another room.

1 Select ‘Speaker System’ from the

Manual SP Setup menu.

See Making receiver settings from the System

Setup menu on page 62 if you’re not already at

this screen.

2 Select the speaker system setting.

! Normal(SB/FH) – Select for normal home

theater use with front height speakers in your

main (speaker system A) setup.

! Normal(SB/FW) – Select for normal home

theater use with front wide speakers in your

main (speaker system A) setup.

! Speaker B – Select to use the B speaker

terminals to listen to stereo playback in

another room (see Switching the speaker

terminals on page 47 ).

! Front Bi-Amp – Select this setting if you’re

bi-amping your front speakers (see Bi-amping

your speakers on page 13 ).

! ZONE 2 – Select to use the surround back

speaker terminals for an independent system

in another zone (see Using the MULTI-ZONE

controls on page 47 ).

3 If you selected Normal(SB/FH),

Normal(SB/FW), or Speaker B in Step 2,

select the placement of the surround

speakers.

In a 7.1-channel surround system with sur-

round speakers placed directly at the sides of

the listening position, the surround sound of

5.1-channel sources is heard from the side.

This function mixes the sound of the surround

speakers with the surround back speakers so

that the surround sound is heard from diago-

nally to the rear as it should be.

Depending on the positions of the speakers and

the sound source, in some cases it may not be

possible to achieve good results. In this case,

set the setting to ON SIDE or IN REAR.

! ON SIDE – Select when the surround

speakers is positioned right beside you.

! IN REAR – Select when the surround speaker

is positioned obliquely behind you.

4 When ‘Setting Change?’ is displayed,

select Yes.

If No is selected, the setting is not changed.

You will return to the Manual SP Setup menu.

isn’t necessary to make all of these settings.
