Setting up the speakers
This chapter explains how to set up the speakers, levels, and delays for the best possible sound
with your surround sound configuration.
CONFIGURING THE SPEAKERS
The first step in configuring the speakers is to specify which
particular combination of speakers you have in your system.
The diagrams shown below give some suggested alternative
layouts.
The SP31.7 can drive up to seven full-frequency
loudspeakers and one subwoofer, but if your surround system
does not include a full set of speakers, the SP31.7 will
distribute the signals from these channels to the other
channels as appropriate in your system.
For each channel you can also specify whether the speaker is
large, in which case it can handle the bass below the
crossover setting for that channel, or small, in which case the
bass for that channel is handled by a subwoofer.
You can define four speaker layouts, labelled GENERAL,
DTS, DD, and OTHER. These are selected automatically for
the appropriate source material.
To specify the speaker configuration
• Press the MENU button on the front panel or remote
control to display the MAIN MENU.
• Use the INPUT SELECTOR on the front panel or the A
and V buttons on the remote control to highlight the
SETUP MENU option and press the SELECT button on
the front panel or remote control to select it.
The SETUP MENU will be displayed:
• Use the INPUT SELECTOR on the front panel or the A

button on the front panel or remote control to select it.
