column (or the speaker configuration displayed isn’t
correct), there may be a problem with the speaker
connection. If selecting

RETRY

doesn’t work, turn off the

power and check the speaker connections. If there
doesn’t seem to be a problem, you can simply use

A progress report is displayed on-screen while the
receiver outputs more test tones to determine the
optimum receiver settings for channel level, speaker
distance, and Acoustic Calibration EQ.

Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is
happening. It may take 2 to 6 minutes.

• If you selected a

Multi-Point

setup (in step 2), you

will be asked to place the mic at the 2nd and 3rd
reference points before finally placing it at your main
listening position.

Surround back speaker setting

• Default setting:

Normal (SB)

There are several ways you can use the surround back
speaker channels with this system. In addition to a
normal home theater setup where they are used for the
surround back speakers, they can be used for bi-amping
the front speakers or as an independent speaker system
in another room.

Note

1 This screen is only shown if you selected

ALL

or

2 • Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes identical speakers with cone sizes of around 12 cm will end up with different size settings.
You can correct the setting manually using the

Manual speaker setup

on page 46.

• The subwoofer distance setting may be farther than the actual distance from the listening position. This setting should be accurate (taking delay and

room characteristics into account) and generally does not need to be changed.
3 Since the distance measurements have been set according to the sound characteristics of your speakers, there are cases where (for optimal surround
sound) the actual distance may differ from the speaker distance setting.
