Initial Set Up
Setting Up for Surround Sound
To ensure the best possible surround sound, complete the following set up operations. You only need to make these settings once (unless you change the placement of your current speaker system or add new speakers, etc.). These set up operations use your TV to display the settings and choices so be sure your TV and receiver are properly hooked up.

4Follow the order below to set up
your speakers for surround sound.
In each mode, the current settings are displayed automatically. We suggest you adjust all these settings when you first hook up the receiver. That gets them out of the way and you won't need to return to this setting mode unless you change your home set up by adding new speakers (etc.).
DIGITAL INPUT SELECT (See p.33)
In order to use your digital components you must match the numbered digital input buttons with the numbered digital jacks used by your digital components.
SPEAKER SETTING (See p.34-35)

CHANNEL DELAY (See p.36)
You must add distance settings to all your speakers for the most realistic surround sound. Adding a slight delay to some speakers enhances sound separation and is particularly important for achieving a surround sound effect. You need to figure out the distance from your listening position to your speakers to add the proper delay.
CHANNEL LEVEL (See p.37-38)
Use to balance the volumes of your different speakers.
CROSSOVER NETWORK (See p.39)
memo
When you press SETUP OK to complete one of the settings explained on the right, a mark consisting of four curved lines appears on the top right of the remote control. This means the remote control is sending the commands to the receiver. If the receiver has gotten the commands the word “received” appears in the display on the receiver. During this process you must keep the remote control pointed at the receiver so the command can be communicated from the remote control to the receiver. To cancel press the BACK button, you will return to
32 the SYSTEM SETUP menu.
This feature lets you select which bass frequencies will be sent to the subwoofer or front speakers when set to large.
BASS PEAK LEVEL MANAGER (See p.40)
Dolby Digital and DTS audio sources include
DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL (See p.41)
This feature makes possible excellent surround sound effects when listening to Dolby Digital sources at low volumes.
MULTI ROOM (See p.79-83)
You can set up this unit to power systems in different rooms.
