Performing initial setup
operations
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 page 84. See pages
19–24 for speaker settings and pages 50–52 for
other settings.
Multi channel surround
setup
For the best possible surround sound, all
speakers should be the same distance from the
listening position (A).
However, the receiver lets you to place the
center speaker up to 1.5 meters closer (B), the
surround speakers up to 4.5 meters closer (C)
and the surround back speakers up to
4.5 meters closer (D) to the listening position.
The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to
12.0 meters 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.).
You can use the center and surround back
speakers as surround back right and left
speakers.

Note
Do not place the center speaker farther away from the
listening position than the front speakers.
Tip
When setting up the surround back speaker, set the
speaker at least 1 meter behind the listening position.
It is recommended to place the speaker at an equal
distance from the surround left and right speakers. If
there is no space behind the listening position, set the
speaker above the listening position by placing it on a
stand or hanging it from the ceiling. To prevent
speaker damage or injury in case the speaker falls,
make sure that it is properly fixed in place.
