Setting Up for Surround Sound

To ensure the best possible surround sound, be sure to complete the following setup operations. You only need to make these settings once (unless you change the placement of your current speaker system or add new speakers, etc.).

This receiver uses on-screen displays to make setting up your home cinema system easier. Switch on the receiver and your TV, and make sure that the receiver is selected as your TV's video input.

This display appears on the receiver.

•You can escape from this screen at any time by pressing the SYSTEM SETUP button again. None of the settings you made will be entered in this case.

•If you don't enter any settings the receiver will revert back to its previous state after three minutes.

3Press the 5 or ° arrow buttons to move the hand to the mode you want. Then press the

ENTER button.

In each mode, the current settings are displayed automatically. We suggest you adjust all these settings when you first hook up the receiver. That gets them out of the way and you won't need to return to this setting mode unless you change your home set up by adding new speakers (etc.). The sound set up modes explained here are:

Digital In Select (See p.31)

In order to use your digital components you must match the numbered digital input settings with the numbered digital jacks used by your digital components.

Speaker Setting (See p.32-33)

Use to specify the type and number of speakers you connected.
