Tip
• You can change the channel levels at any
time by using EFFECT/CH SEL and +/– on
the remote control. You can set two

one for the listening modes.
Speaker Distance
For good sound depth and separation from
your system, you need to specify the distance
of your speakers from the listening position.
The receiver can then add the proper delay
needed for effective surround sound.
1 Select ‘Speaker Distance’ from the
Manual SP Setup menu.

using /.
You can adjust the distance of each speaker in
0.1 meter increments.
3 When you’re finished, press RETURN.
You return to the Manual SP Setup menu.
Tip
• For best surround sound, make sure the
surround back speakers are the same
distance from the listening position.
Note
1 • If you are using a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter, take the readings from your main listening position and adjust the level
of each speaker to 75 dB SPL (C-weighting/slow reading).
• The subwoofer test tone is output at low volumes. You may need to adjust the level after testing with an actual soundtrack.
