Personalizing Your Surround
Sound
This receiver will make the necessary speakers settings
automatically so you can use it to get enjoyable sur-
round sound without doing anything, but making more
exact settings here will give you finer surround sound.
For better surround sound complete the instructions
that follow the speaker settings. Use the first two steps
on this page and continue on page 30. In this way you
can get maximum performance out of the receiver.
You only need to do these settings once (unless you
change the placement of your current speaker system or
add new speakers, etc.). The following pages offer a
more detailed description of the settings available for
each mode. The default setting is also shown on each
page.
