Fine Tuning Your System

Other System Settings

These settings are more advanced. Some could add depth or listenability to your sound (like the THX CINEMA setup) and others are for your convenience (like the FUNCTION RENAME). You can decide if you want to make these settings or not. They are not crucial to good surround sound. You only need to make these settings once (unless you change the placement of your current speaker system, add new speakers or components to your system, etc.). 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.

If you hook up your digital components in a different way than the default settings you need to tell the receiver how you hooked them up so the names on the remote control and front panel match your home setup. Do this with the DIGITAL–IN SELECT setup. Also, if you hooked up video devices with component video cable you need to tell the receiver which devices are hook up in this way. Do this with the COMPONENT–IN SELECT setup.
