System Configuration

When all changes to the Channel Output levels and the associated level trim settings have been made press the /¤ Navigation Button E until the cursor is on the BACK TO MANUAL SETUP menu and then pressing the Set Button Fso that you may make any other adjustments to the system parameters. If the changes just made complete the manual adjust- ments needed, press the OSD Button Lto exit the menu system and resume normal system operation.

Additional Input Adjustments

After one input has been adjusted for Surround mode, digital input (if any), speaker type, and output levels, go back to the IN/OUT SETUP line on the MASTER MENU (Figure

1)and enter the settings for each input that you will use. In most cases, only the digital input and surround mode will be different from one input to the next, while the speaker type, crossover fre- quency, Night mode and output level settings will usually be the same and may be quickly entered by entering the same data used for the original input.

Once the settings outlined on the previous pages have been made, the AVR is ready for operation. While there are some additional settings to be made, these are best done after you have had an opportunity to listen to a variety of sources and different kinds of program material. These advanced settings are described on pages 41 to 42 of this manual. In addition, any of the settings made in the initial configuration of the unit may be changed at any time. As you add new or dif- ferent sources or speakers, or if you wish to change a setting to better reflect your listening taste, simply follow the instructions for changing the settings for that parameter as shown in this section.

Note that any settings changed at any time, also when the discrete buttons are used only, will be stored in memory in the AVR, also if it´s turned off completely, unless it will be reset (see page 56).

Having completed the setup and configuration process for your AVR, you are about to experience the finest in music and home-theater listening. Enjoy!
