3.SETUP

For optimum performance and enjoyment, your processor should be properly set up. This may appear like a lot of work but keep in mind that most settings do not need to be changed from the factory ones.

The most important things are entering information about your display and speakers if the defaults do not apply, the distance from each speaker to the listening area, balancing output levels to one another, and input connections. The rest is preference – the surround mode presets, for example, should be set up after you have played various source materials and have decided which surround modes you like best.

For proper audio balance, menus involving test noises must be set up in the order that they appear.

Alternatively, most of the setup can be done on your personal computer through RS-232 connection and a program from our web site, called Setup Editor. This can also save your configuration as a backup file. Setup Editor cannot play test signals – calibration still has to be done through the setup menu.

HOW TO ENTER THE SETUP MENU

The setup menu can be accessed from MAIN and Test noises play only from MAIN.
