Please read before continuing on to Step 4

1.The Home Theater Standard 7.1 will only operate correctly:

When the video source signal (component, s-video, or compos- ite) to the Home Theater Standard 7.1 and the video signal from the Home Theater Standard 7.1 to the video monitor match, and

When the video device is configured for that same signal (com- ponent, s-video, or composite) in the Home Theater Standard 7.1 configuration menu.

2.If you select the video signal that is the factory default for the video device (for example: a component signal for the DVD), you do not need to configure the video signal in the Home Theater Standard 7.1 configuration menu. See Figure 4, for North American operation, on page 25, and Figure 5, for overseas operation, on page 26.

3.If you are not using the default video signal, you must use the configuration menu in the Home Theater Standard 7.1 and change the video signal for the video device.

4.You need the remote control and the on screen display (OSD) to access the configuration menu.

5.In order for the OSD to be visible:

Set your monitor to NTSC Interlaced for North American operation,

or

Set your monitor to PAL Interlaced or NTSC Interlaced for overseas operation.

When your monitor is set to NTSC Progressive or PAL Progressive, the OSD will not be visible.

6.The video device LED must be illuminated on the front panel of the Home Theater Standard 7.1 in order for the OSD to be visible.
