Hint
- The receiver allows you to enjoy a surround-sound effect acoustically equivalent to that of up to a 7.1.2-channel speaker system when you select [Type A] or [Type B] for [SpeakerRelocation/PhantomSurroundBack] in the [Speaker Settings] menu. When setting [SpeakerRelocation/PhantomSurroundBack], perform Auto Calibration beforehand.
