Up for Surround

To ensure the best possible surround sound, complete the following setup operations. Some of these are the same (and take precedence over) the settings you made in the Easy Setup Guide, so consider if the ones you made at that time were adequate. If you feel they were, move on to the next setting in this section.

These setup operations use on-screen displays (OSDs) on your TV to display the settings and choices so be sure your TV and receiver are properly hooked up and that your TV is set to this receiver. You need to connect the setup mic to the front panel of the receiver so that it can measure the sound and ensure the proper settings. For more information on the mic hookup see page 13.

 

1

Turn on the receiver and your TV. Press

 

 

the RECEIVER button on the remote con-

 

 

trol.

 

 

Make sure your TV is connected and set to the video input the

 

 

receiver is using.

 

2

Press the SYSTEM SETUP button.

 

 

The menu possibilities appear on your TV.

 

3 SURROUND SETUP should be selected. If

 

 

it isn’t use the  buttons to select it.

 

 

Press the ENTER button.

Use the  buttons to navigate

 

 

through the menus. When you have the

 

 

setting you want in a particular menu,

2

press ENTER.

In each mode, the current settings are displayed. We suggest

 

 

you do a basic system setup for surround sound when you

 

 

first hook up the receiver. That gets it out of the way and you

 

 

won't need to do it again unless you change your home set up

 

 

(by adding new speakers, etc.). To do a basic setup use the

 

 

SURRBACK menu if necessary and then choose either the

 

 

AUTO SETTING or NORMAL setup procedure and complete

 

 

that. You don’t need to do both as they accomplish the same

 

 

ends and we recommend the AUTO SETTING method.

 

 

To do a more advanced setup for surround sound see EXPERT

 

 

setup starting on page 85.
