SETUP
For best results, perform the following set up procedure when you initially install your receiver and anytime you
change or add sources, speakers, etc. or when you rearrange your listening area

THE MENU SYSTEM

Setup of your receiver will require you to navigate through the menu system. We recommend that you use a video
monitor connected to the zone 1 output along with the remote control provided with your receiver. It is also
possible to set up your receiver from the front panel. Do not leave your video monitor on with the receiver in the
menu system for long periods of time. This can result in permanently burning the menu display into your monitor’s
screen. This would take several hours so there is no danger of it happening during normal setup procedures. The
following are general instructions for using the menu system. A complete guide to the menu system is included at
the back of this manual.
MENU - If you are not already in the menu system, the MENU button will activate the menu system. Once you are
in the menu system, the MENU button will return you to the next higher level menu or, if you are already at the
highest level, it will exit from the menu system.
UP/DOWN ARROWS - Once you are in the menu system, use the UP/DOWN ARROWS to move to the desired
menu selection. The currently active menu line is highlighted in a contrasting color.
SEL (remote) or ENTER (remote or front panel) - Some menu selections cause another menu to be activated.
Use the UP/DOWN ARROWS to move to the desired menu line. Pressing SEL or ENT ER will activate the next
menu.
NUMERIC KEYS (remote only) - From the remote control you may also go directly to a menu line by typing the
corresponding line number. If there is another menu below that line it will be activated immediately (no ENTER
required).
LEFT/RIGHT ARROWS (remote) or VOLUME KNOB (front panel) - Some menu selections allow you to change
one of the receiver settings. Use the UP/DOWN ARROWS to move to the desired m enu line. Pressing the
LEFT/RIGHT ARROWS will change the setting. There are no LEFT/RIGHT ARROWS on the f ront panel. W hile in
the menu system, the VOLUME KNOB acts as the LEFT/RIGHT ARROWS. This means that you will not be able
to adjust the volume from the front panel while in the menu system. The remote control volume will work in most
menus.
TEXT EDITING - some menu selections will require you to edit text. Use the UP/DOW N ARROW S to change the
current (blinking) character. Use the LEFT/RIGHT ARROWS (or VOLUME KNOB) to m ove to another character
position.
HELP SCREENS - The MAIN MENU provides a HELP GUIDE that summarizes these instructions. Specific help is
also provided at the bottom of every menu. The MAIN MENU also provides a PRODUCT INFORMATION screen
that provides basic information on your receiver. These screens will automatically scroll through each line.
UNIVERSAL REMOTE - Remember that when you press a source button (DVD, CD, etc.) the remote now
controls the selected device. To return control to your receiver, you must press AUDIO. ALWAYS check that
your remote is set to AUDIO before attempting to control your receiver. AUDIO will be displayed in the
remotes LCD window.
