Setting Up for Surround Sound

To ensure the best possible surround sound, complete the following setup operations. Some of these are the same (and take precedence over) the settings you made in the Easy Setup Guide, so consider if the ones you made at that time were adequate. If you feel they were, move on to the next setting here.

Use the arrow buttons (5∞) and the ENTER button on the remote control to navigate the display on the receiver. Conversely, you can use the MULTI JOG dial and ENTER button on the front panel.

4Use the 5∞ buttons to navigate through the menus. When you have the setting you want in a

particular menu, press ENTER.

In each mode, the current settings are displayed. We suggest you do a basic system setup for surround sound when you first hook up the receiver. That gets it out of the way and you won't need to do it again unless you change your home set up (by adding new speakers, etc.). To do a basic setup use SURRBACK and NORMAL setups below.

To do a more advanced setup for surround sound see EXPERT setup starting on page 79.

SURRBACK (Surround Back) SYSTEM (See page 35)
