Setup

The setup screen doesn't appear.

The output jacks haven't been con- nected properly.

The TV hasn't been connected to the MONITOR OUT jack.

You connected your TV to the MULTI- ROOM & SOURCE MONITOR OUT jack instead of the main MONITOR OUT jack.

Some TVs connected to the receiver with component video cords do not display the Setup Screen when color burst is on.

Check all connections (see pages 16, 17, 20 and 22).

Connect the TV to the MONITOR OUT jacks (see page 16).

Turn the color burst to off. (From the Standby mode, and while holding down the MULTI JOG CONTROL RETURN button press the STANDBY/ ON button. Each action switches the color burst on or off.)

Every time AUTO SURROUND SETUP is attempted, there is some kind of error, or the settings seem incorrect.

The room environment is not optimal for auto setup (too much ambient noise; obstacles blocking the speakers from the microphone; the monitor noise is interfering with the setup; etc.).

Make sure the room environment is in line with the guidelines for auto setup in this manual (see page 13 and Memo on page 15).

The LARGE and SMALL settings for speakers after the Auto Surround Sound Setup are incorrect.

There are other frequencies in the room that are affecting the auto setup.

Check for household appliances (air conditioner, fan, etc.) that may be affecting the environment and switch them off if necessary.

After the proper settings have
