This procedure is not necessary if the demonstration activates when you turn on the power.

1 Turn off the receiver.

2 Hold down ?/1 for 5 seconds.

The demonstration starts (page 4) and all of the following items are reset or cleared:

•All preset stations are reset or cleared.

•All sound field parameters are reset to their factory settings.

•All index names (of preset stations and program sources) are cleared.

•All SET UP parameters are reset to their factory settings.

•The sound field memorized for each program source and preset stations are cleared.

•The master volume is set to VOL MIN.

Performing initial setup operations

Before using your receiver for the first time, adjust SET UP parameters so that the receiver correspond to your system. For the adjustable parameters, see the table on page 54. See pages 15–20 for speaker settings and pages 35–36 for other settings.

Multi channel surround

setup

For the best possible surround sound, all speakers should be the same distance from the listening position (A).

However, the receiver lets you place the center speaker up to 5 feet closer (B) and the surround speakers up to 15 feet closer (C) to the listening position.

The front speakers can be placed from 3 to 40 feet from the listening position (A).

You can place the surround speakers either behind you or to the side, depending on the shape of your room (etc.).
