Tip • For best surround sound, make sure the surround back speakers are the same distance from the listening position. Tip • You can change the channel levels at any time by using EFFECT/CH SEL and +/- on the remote control. You can set separate levels for the listening modes (Standard, Home THX, Advanced and Stereo/Direct) as well as for the MULTI CH IN mode. However, the listening mode setting will be cleared if you use any of the setups (for example, System Setup or Auto Setup) to set the channel levels at a later date.

The receiver can then add the proper delay needed for effective surround sound. 1 Select 'Speaker Distance' from the Manual SP Setup menu. 4. Manual SP Setup [ a. Speaker Setting ] [ b.
