Tip

Surround speaker position is designed specifically for

implementation of the Cinema Studio EX modes.

For other sound fields, speaker position is not so

critical. Those sound fields were designed under the

premise that the surround speakers would be located

behind the listening position, but presentation remains

fairly consistent even with the surround speakers

positioned at a rather wide angle. However, if the

speakers are pointing toward the listener from the

immediate left and right of the listening position, the

surround effects becomes unclear unless set to

“SIDE/LO” or “SIDE/HI”.

Nevertheless, each listening environment has many

variables, such as wall reflections, and you may obtain

better results using “BEHD/HI” if your speakers are

located high above the listening position, even if they

are to the immediate left and right.

Therefore, although it may result in a setting contrary

to the above explanation, we recommend that you

playback multi channel surround encoded software and

select the setting that provides a good sense of

spaciousness and that best succeeds in forming a

cohesive space between the surround sound from the

surround speakers and the sound of the front speakers.

If you are not sure which sounds best, select

“BEHD/LO” or “BEHD/HI” and then use the speaker

distance parameter and speaker level adjustments to

obtain proper balance.

speaker is set to “SMALL” and the corresponding

speaker segment flashes in the display.

Adjust the speaker levels and balance while

listening to the test tone from your listening

position. Use the remote for the operation.

* You will only hear the test tone from the

– surround back left and right speakers when

surround back speaker selection parameter is

set to “DUAL”.

– surround back left speaker when surround

back speaker selection parameter is set to

“SINGLE”.

3 Adjust the speaker levels and balance

using the LEVEL menu so that the level

of the test tone sounds the same from

each speaker.

For details on the LEVEL menu settings,

see page 38.

Tips

• To adjust the level of all speakers at the same

time, press MASTER VOL +/– on the remote or

turn MASTER VOLUME –/+ on the receiver.

• The adjusted value are shown in the display

during adjustment.

4 Press TEST TONE again after

adjustment.

The test tone turns off.

Notes

• The test tone cannot be used when MULTI CH IN

function is used.

• Although these adjustments can also be made via the

front panel using the LEVEL menu (when the test

tone is output, the receiver switches to the LEVEL

menu automatically), we recommend you follow the

procedure described above and adjust the speaker

levels from your listening position using the remote.
