11 Check the speaker settings on the

OSD

If they match your speaker configuration make sure OK,GO NEXT is selected and press ENTER. The test tones will be output loudly again. The test tones may take up to 5 minutes this time. After they have finished, you see the SPEAKER SYSTEMS CHECK screen. If you want to view the settings select NEXT and press ENTER repeatedly. If not, simply go to step 13.

If they do not match the speaker configuration you hooked up and you want to try again select RETRY with 5∞ buttons and press ENTER. Follow the instructions above from step 10.

If the speaker settings do not match the speaker configuration you connected and you want to input the settings manually select ERR=FIX SP with the 5∞ buttons, press ENTER and go to step 12.

If you see an ERR message in the right side column, there may be a problem with the speaker connec- tion. If selecting RETRY doesn't fix the problem, turn off the power and check the speaker connections.

memo

Make sure the room environment follows the guidelines displayed on the OSD during auto setup. If the room environment is not optimal for auto setup (too much ambient noise, obstacles blocking the speakers from the microphone, etc.) the final settings may be incorrect. Check for household appliances (air conditioner, fridge, fan, etc.) that may be affecting the environment and switch them off if necessary.

Screens will turn off after three minutes and the amplifier will automatically exit from the setup process.

If you leave CHECK!! or other error message on the screen for three minutes, or you choose CANCEL at anytime during the setup, the settings made up to that point will be cleared.

After completing the Auto Surround Sound Setup, ACOUSTIC CAL EQ ON (ALL CH ADJ) is set automatically.

12 Use the ∞5 buttons to select a speaker then the 2 3 buttons to select the size of each speaker individually. Use the ∞5 buttons to select OK, GO NEXT and press

ENTER.

The system will output another series of test tones to establish the proper channel level, channel delay and acoustic calibration EQ. Again, be prepared for loud test tones.

After it has finished, you see the SPEAKER SYSTEMS CHECK screen. If you want to view the settings select NEXT and press ENTER repeatedly. If not, simply go to the next step.

13 Select RETURN to go back to the SYSTEM SETUP menu, then choose EXIT to complete the auto surround sound setup and return to normal use.

You should now have settings that will give you good surround sound. The MCACC indicator will light and the surround sound settings are complete.
