Before using your receiver for the first time,
adjust SET UP parameters so that the receiver
correspond to your system. For the adjustable
parameters, see the table on pages 73–74. See
pages 19–23 for speaker settings and pages 42–
43 for other settings.

For the best possible surround sound, all
speakers should be the same distance from the
listening position (A).

However, the receiver lets you place the center
speaker up to 1.5 meters (5 feet) closer (B),
the surround speakers up to 4.5 meters (15 feet)
closer (C) and the surround back speaker up to
4.5 meters (15 feet) closer (D) to the listening
position.

The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to
7.0 meters (3 to 23 feet) from the listening
position (A).

You can place the surround speakers either
behind you or to the side, depending on the
shape of your room (etc.).
