Connect your speakers to the receiver. This receiver allows you to use a 5.1 channel speaker system.
To fully enjoy theater-like multi channel surround sound requires five speakers (two front speakers, a
center speaker, and two surround speakers) and a sub woofer (5.1 channel).
Example of 5.1 channel speaker system configuration
Tips
• Since the sub woofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want.
• For greater flexibility in the positioning of the speakers, use the optional WS-FV11 or WS-FV10D floor stand
(available only in certain countries).
Note
Connect the long speaker connecting cords to the surround speaker terminals and the short speaker connecting cords
to the front and center speaker terminals.
Attaching foot pads
To prevent speaker vibration or movement, attach the supplied foot pads to the speaker as shown in the
illustration below.
Note
Be sure to attach the supplied foot pads to the sub woofer as well.

distance and location of the speakers connected
to this receiver.
1 Press ?/1 to turn on the receiver.
2 Press MAIN MENU repeatedly to select
“ SET UP ”.
3 Press or repeatedly to select the
parameter you want to adjust.
For details, see “Speaker setup parameters”
below.
Note
Some speaker setup items may appear dimmed in
the display. This means that they have been
adjusted automatically due to other speaker
settings or may not be adjustable.
4 Press + or – repeatedly to select the
setting you want.
The setting is entered automatically.
5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have set
all of the items that follow.
Speaker setup parameters
The initial setting is underlined.
x DIST. XX ft.
(Front speaker distance)
Initial setting: 10 ft.
Lets you set the distance from your listening position
to the front speakers (A). You can adjust from 3 to 23
feet in 1 foot steps.
If both front speakers are not placed an equal distance
from your listening position, set the distance to the
closest speaker.
x DIST. XX ft.
(Center speaker distance)
Initial setting: 10 ft.
Lets you set the distance from your listening position
to the center speaker. Center speaker distance should
be set from a distance equal to the front speaker
distance (A) to a distance 5 feet closer to your
listening position (B).
x DIST. XX ft.
(Surround speaker distance)
Initial setting: 10 ft.
Lets you set the distance from your listening position
to the surround speakers. Surround speaker distance
should be set from a distance equal to the front speaker
distance (A) to a distance 15 feet closer to your
listening position (C).
If both surround speakers are not placed an equal
distance from your listening position, set the distance
to the closest speaker.
Tip
The receiver lets you to input the speaker position in
terms of distance. However, it is not possible to set the
center speaker further than the front speakers. Also, the
center speaker cannot be set more than 5 feet closer
than the front speakers.
Likewise, the surround speakers cannot be set further
away from the listening position than the front
speakers. And they can be no more than 15 feet closer.
This is because incorrect speaker placement is not
conducive to the enjoyment of surround sound.
Please note that, setting the speaker distance closer than
the actual location of the speakers will cause a delay in
the output of the sound from that speaker. In other
words, the speaker will sound like it is further away.
For example, setting the center speaker distance 3–6
feet closer than the actual speaker position will create
a fairly realistic sensation of being “inside” the screen.
If you cannot obtain a satisfactory surround effect
because the surround speakers are too close, setting the
surround speaker distance closer (shorter) than the
actual distance will create a larger sound stage.
Adjusting these parameter while listening to the sound
often results in much better surround sound. Give it a
try!
