11 The system and the other setup Manual speaker setup This receiver allows you to make detailed settings to optimize the surround sound performance. You only need to make these settings once (unless you change the placement of your current speaker system or add new speakers). These settings are designed to customize your system, but if you're satisfied with the settings made in Automatically setting up for surround sound (Auto MCACC) on page 37, it isn't necessary to make all of these settings. CAUTION • The test tones used in the Manual SP Setup are output at high volume. 1 Select 'Manual SP Setup', then press ENTER. See Making receiver settings from Making receiver settings from the System Setup menu on page 93 if you're not already at this screen. 4.System Setup A/V RECEIVER a.Manual SP Setup b. Input Setup c.
