System Configuration

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 33 to 34 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 different 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 42).

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