Quick Start Guide Part2

1Auto Surround Sound Setup

If setting up your surround sound speakers seems like it's going to be an involved task you only need to use this quick, automatic method to achieve good surround sound. You'll need to hook up the remote control, which has a microphone in it, so that the receiver can hear and judge the distance, size, sound character and sound pressure level of the speakers and thus know what settings to make.

First turn the volume down, then plug the cord provided into the remote control (as shown in A below) and then plug the cord into the SETUP MIC jack on the front panel of the receiver (as shown in B below). Don't plug in the other way around.

Follow the step-by-step guide to setting up your surround sound below. This will customize the surround sound for your listening environment. After you get used to the system it is a good idea to make more advanced settings as explained in "Expert Setup" (page 90). Also, if you want to personalize your surround sound setups by making the settings manually go to "Setting up for Surround Sound" (starting on page

35). Make sure all the components you need, especially speakers, have been properly connected before you do the steps described here. Use the arrow buttons (5∞) and the ENTER button on the remote control to navigate the on-screen display (OSD) on your TV.
