Switching on and setting up

After making sure everything is connected up properly, you’re ready to switch on. The first thing to do is to tell the system what kind of TV you’re using, standard or widescreen.

After that you can set up the surround sound for your room, and set the clock so that you can use the timer features.

STANDBY/ON

1 Press STANDBY/ON (on the remote or on the front panel) to switch the system on.

Also make sure that your TV is switched on and that the video input is set to this system. You should see the welcome screen displayed.
