Surround Sound Set Up

On Screen Display

There are a number of possible ways to hook up the receiver to your video components, like a DVD player, and hook up to your receiver to your TV, but some of them won't allow you to use the on-screen display of this unit. To avoid this one simply needs to follow two rules.

1Always use the same type of video cords to hook up your video components to the receiver as you use to

hook up the receiver and your TV. For example, if you use composite video cords to hook up your DVD and the receiver, use composite video cords to hook up the receiver to your TV. If you use S video cords to hook up your DVD and the receiver, use S video cords to hook up the receiver to your TV.

2Always make sure your TV is set to the appropriate input channel (for example, video 1). Your TV may have a number of input channels and if you don't select the proper one you won't be able to use this receiver's on- screen display, or, in fact, see any picture from this receiver at all. If you are unsure how to choose an input channel for your TV, refer to the manual which came with your TV.

You might, for example, use both composite and S video cords to hook up your video components with this receiver and then use composite video cords to hook up this receiver to your TV. This arrangement would still NOT let you see the on screen displays from this receiver on your TV. The best idea is just to use one type of video cord for all your video component and TV hook ups.

Setting Up for Surround Sound

To ensure the best possible surround sound, be sure to complete the following set up operations. This is particularly important when using the DTS, 2(Dolby) Surround sound modes. You only need to make these settings once (unless you change the placement of your current speaker system or add new speakers, etc.). These set up operations use your TV to display the settings and choices so be sure your TV and receiver are properly hooked up.

ë1 Turn on the receiver and your TV.
