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 
sound (Auto MCACC) on page 37, 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 
receiver settings from the System Setup menu 
on page 93
 if you’re not already at this screen.

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:
Surr Back System – Specifies how you are 
using your surround back speakers (see 
below).
Speaker Setting – Specifies the size and 
number of speakers you’ve connected 
(page 95).
Channel Level – Adjusts the overall 
balance of your speaker system (page 96).
Speaker Distance – Specifies the distance 
of your speakers from the listening position 
(page 97).
X-Curve – Adjusts the tonal balance of 
your speaker system for movie soundtracks 
(page 98).

setting, pressing RETURN to confirm after 
each screen.

There are several ways you can use the 
surround back speaker channels with this 
system. In addition to a normal home theater 
setup where they are used for the surround 
back speakers, they can be used for bi-amping 
the front speakers or as an independent 
speaker system in another room.
