If you have, see “Assigning Digital Inputs to Input Sources” on page 35.

■Have you connected an Onkyo MD recorder, CD recorder, or next generation HDD-compatible component?

If you have, see “Changing the Input Display” on page 35.

To test that all of the speakers are working properly, press the remote controller’s [TEST TONE] button.

The test tone will be output by each speaker in turn and the name of each speaker will appear on the display. To turn off the test tone, press the [TEST TONE] button again.

•If the test tone is not produced by a speaker, or it’s produced by a speaker other than that shown on the display, you may have wired the speakers incorrectly and you should check your connections (see page 20).

•If the test tone is not produced by a speaker and its name does not appear on the display, you may have set the speaker settings incorrectly (see page 52).
