Surround speaker setup: disc player or processor?


My Ayre DX-5 DSD and Bryston SP3 processor both have menus for setting speaker size, distance, level, etc.  Which should I use?  If it's relevant to the question:  For surround the disc player sends 7.1 LPCM via HDMI to the processor.  The SP3 returns stereo to an Ayre KX-5 by-pass input, and sends surround to a pair of NAD C268 amps.  A passive Marchand high-pass fixed at 80 Hz 24 dB/octave sits between the KX-5 and VX-5 amp; an output from the KX-5 goes through a Velodyne bass manager set at 80 Hz 24 dB/octave to a pair of HGS-15 subs.  The SP3 is not used for stereo.

I meant nothing against the Ayre DX-5.  It uses the stock Oppo digital board (DSP/HDMI).  However, it has massively upgraded linear power supplies and Ayre's analog output stage for the left/right stereo outputs. 
Following the advice I've received in this thread, I set the speakers using the Bryston SP3 menu, then played Blu-rays of Legends of Jazz and Mahler's 2nd with Chailly conducting at the Mahler festival in Leipzig, both in 5.1.  The sound was superb, with surround adding just a touch of ambience without being aware of any speakers, front or side.  Thanks, guys. 
Rebadged Oppo? You have a different definition of that word. There aren’t more than a couple of high end manufacturers that build their own transports. Does that mean they’re all rebadged Sonys?
