MENUS

Receiver menu

The receiver is equipped with a menu system. The menu is used for the setup of the receiver. The different menu options are related to each other in a logical way. Let’s assume you have no center speaker connected, and so you switched CENTER SPEAKR to NO. If you try to use VOL CENTER, a message will be scrolled that this is not possible

(INSTALL CENTER SPEAKER).

The menu always works the same way. Arrows in the display show you the possible moving directions.
