Resetting the main unit

Use this procedure to reset all the receiver’s settings to the factory default. Use the front panel controls to do this.

1Switch the receiver into standby.

2While holding down the TONE button,

press and hold the STANDBY/ON button for about three seconds.

3When you see RESET? appear in the display, press ENTER.

OK? shows in the display.

4Press SETUP to confirm.

OK appears in the display to indicate that the receiver has been reset to the factory settings.

Switching the speaker impedance

We recommend using speakers of 8 Ω with this system, but it is possible to switch the impedance setting if you plan to use speakers with a 6 Ω impedance rating.

•With the receiver in standby, press STANDBY/ON while holding down the SPEAKERS button.

Each time you do this, you switch between the impedance settings:

•SP 6 OHM – Use this setting if your speakers are rated at 6 Ω.

•SP 8 OHM – Use this setting if your speakers are rated at 8 Ω or more.

Changing the TV format setting

If the System Setup menu is not displayed correctly, it may be that the TV system is set incorrectly for your country or region.

•With the receiver in standby, press STANDBY/ON while holding down the SIGNAL SELECT button.

The display shows the new setting (PAL or NTSC).
