MANUAL : In this way of setting the distance you
choose the speaker and adjust the distance yourself.
AUTO : This way of setting the delay time is like that
described in the Quick Start Guide (p.1315). The levels
are set automatically by the receiver as it outputs the
test tones. For this setup you must have the mic on the
remote control connected (see page 13).
WARNING : Be prepared! The test tones are output at
a high volume level.
MASTER VOLUME rotates to the reference position (0 dB)
and the display on the receiver flashes TEST TONE. After a
few seconds the test tone is output.

CHANNEL DELAY
Adding a slight delay to some speakers is necessary to achieve proper sound depth, separation as well as an
effective surround sound effect. You need to figure out the distance from your listening position to your
speakers to add the proper delay. The following steps show you how to set the delay time for each channel by
specifying the distances from your listening position to each speaker. Once you specify the speaker distances
(or it is done automatically through the AUTO selection, or in the Quick Start Guide), the receiver calculates the
correct delay times automatically. If continuing from SPEAKER SYSTEMS go to step 1. If starting fresh,
complete steps 1-3 in Setting Up for Surround Sound (p.35) first.
