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 customize your system, but if you’re satisfied with the settings made in

Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Full Auto MCACC) on page 39 , it isn’t necessary to make all

of these settings.

CAUTION

! The test tones used in the Manual SP Setup are output at high volume.

1 Select ‘Manual SP Setup’, then press ENTER.

See Making receiver settings from the System Setup menu on page 90 if you’re not already at this screen.

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 System – Specifies how you are using your surround back speaker terminals and B speaker termi-

nals (page 90 ).

! Speaker Setting – Specifies the size and number of speakers you’ve connected (page 90 ).

! Channel Level – Adjusts the overall balance of your speaker system (page 91 ).

! Speaker Distance – Specifies the distance of your speakers from the listening position (page 91 ).

! X-Curve – Adjusts the tonal balance of your speaker system for movie soundtracks (page 91 ).

3 Make the adjustments necessary for each setting, pressing RETURN to confirm after each

screen.

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 90 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 sys-

tem 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 72 ).

! Front Bi-Amp – Select this setting if you’re bi-amping your front speakers (see Bi-amping your speakers on

page 22 ).

! 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 73 ).

! HDZONE – Select to use the surround back speaker terminals for an independent system in HDZONE (see

Using the MULTI-ZONE controls on page 73 ).

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 surround 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 diagonally 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.

Speaker Setting

Use this setting to specify your speaker configuration (size, number of speakers and crossover frequency). It

is a good idea to make sure that the settings made in Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Full

Auto MCACC) on page 39 are correct. Note that this setting applies to all MCACC presets, and cannot be set

independently.

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 k/l to select the size (and number) of each of the following speakers:
