Setting Up for Surround Sound

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. Use the arrow buttons (5∞) and the ENTER button on the remote control to navigate the OSDs on your TV. Conversely, you can use the MULTI JOG dial and ENTER button, and look at the display, on the Front Panel.

To do a more advanced setup for surround sound see EXPERT setup starting on page 96.
