This setup establishes the distances from your speakers to your normal listening position. It is important for the
receiver to know these distances so it can output proper surround sound. Alternatively, you can make more precise
speaker distance settings on page 27-29. You don’t have to do both, however.

There are three choices for speaker distances here. They are marked ‘S’, ‘M’ and ‘L’  but they represent the relationship
between how far your front speakers and your surround speakers are from your normal listening position, i.e. the
relationship in distance between the speakers and your listening position. ‘S’ should be used when your surround
speakers are nearer your main listening position than your front speakers. ‘M’ should be used when all your speakers
are equidistant from your main listening position. ‘L’  should be used when your surround speakers are farther from
your main listening position than your front speakers.

Follow the instructions below to set the room type.

• These speaker settings will automatically adjust the distance

between your listening position and the speakers as well as
the output level from each speaker. It is also possible to
select these functions manually. To do so see below. For the
distance between the listening position and the speakers see
pages 27-29; For the output level of each speaker see page
32.

• The settings made most recently, whether here or manually,

on the pages mentioned directly above, will supercede any
previous settings.

• The default setting is ‘M’.

Cycle through the ‘S’, ‘M’, or ‘L’  settings using the ROOM
SETUP button and choose the one that best represents the
placement of your speakers around the room.
The setting will blink for five seconds.

The setting is input into the system and the display shows
ENTERED.
