Performing initial setup operations
Once you have hooked up the speakers and turned on the power, clear the receiver�s memory. Then specify the speaker parameters (size, position, etc.) and perform any other initial setup operations necessary for your system.
Tip
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 66. See pages 20�25 for speaker 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 (5 feet) closer (B), the surround speakers up to 4.5 meters (15 feet) closer (C) and the surround back speakers up to 4.5 meters (15 feet) closer (D) to the listening position. The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to 12.0 meters (3 to 40 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.).
