Preferred surround placement
Location
If possible, place surround speakers to either side of the
listening area, not behind it.
Height
If space permits, install surrounds 60cm-90cm (2-3 feet)
above viewers. This helps to minimize localization
effects.
Aiming
Aiming surrounds straight across the room, not down at
viewers, helps create a more open, spacious surround
sound field.
Advanced Setting
Alternative Surround Placement
Rear wall
If rear wall mounting is the only choice, aim the
speakers at each other (A), towards the front (B) or even
towards the sidewalls (C, D). Experiment with placement
until surround sounds seem to envelop you, rather than
coming from behind you.
No adjacent walls
Surrounds can go on stands facing each other to
approximate the preferred sidewall mounting (A), or to
the sides or rear of the viewing area aimed upwards. In
the latter case, they can go right on the floor, or
preferably, a few feet off the floor such as on end tables
(B).

Test Tone / Channel balance
Channel balance
Your receiver is equipped with a test signal generator
for balancing the channels. As the signal "travels" from
channel to channel, adjust the level controls until each
channel plays at the same loudness level.
To activate and adjust test tone, refer to “Testing
Speaker Loudness” under the “Advanced Sound
Control” section (Pg 20).
Level adjustment & surround channel
level expectation
Even though you adjust the surround channel to be as
loud as the others on the test signal, you'll find that on
actual program material the surround channel is usually
much lower than the front. Don't be tempted to
readjust the surround level; program producers use
surround mostly for subtle atmospheric and ambience,
and only rarely for special effects. A good surround mix
doesn't call attention to itself; if it did, it would soon
become distracting.

first power the receiver up right out of the box:
