Fine Tuning Your Surround Sound

Input attenuator setting

You can set the input signal to be lowered if it is distorting. This is only possible for analog signals, digital signals can’t be attenuated.

Follow steps 1&2 on page 29 (if necessary).

Use the +/buttons to set the input attenua- tor ON or OFF.

Press SETUP to advance to the next receiver setting mode.

Press ENTER if you want to exit the setting mode.

The default setting is “OFF”.

When the OVER indicator light please put the input attenuator ON.

The Input Attenuator is expressed as IN.ATT in the display.

Optical connection default settings

You can connect your digital video components (like a DVD player, satellite tuner, or DVR) with optical or coaxial cords, as explained directly above and on page

13.However, the optical terminals cannot be assigned, you must follow their default settings in order to match your equipment to the remote control buttons (and display names, etc.) of this receiver. Thus if you followed the default setting for the coaxial terminal and hooked a DVD up to that terminal the optical terminal default settings are:

OPT. 1: TV/SAT

OPT. 2: DVR

If you assigned your TV/SAT (displayed as SAT) to the coaxial terminal (see “Coaxial connection setting” above and “Connecting Your Equipment” page 14–16) then the defaults for the optical terminals will change (because you cannot have one component assigned to two different places). Thus they become:

OPT. 1: DVD

OPT. 2: DVR

Coaxial connection setting (assigning the coaxial terminal)

This receiver has two different ways you can connect your digital video components (like a DVD player, satellite tuner, or DVR). You can connect them with an optical or coaxial cords (see p.13). The easiest way to hook your equipment is using the default settings of this receiver. In this case, use a coaxial cord to connect your DVD player. If you use the coaxial terminal for your satellite or TV tuner (called TV/SAT on the receiver) you need to assign that component to the remote (that is, tell the remote that you used the coaxial terminal for your TV/SAT). The optical terminals’ default settings will change in accordance with how you assign the coaxial terminal here. See the next heading for more information.

Follow the default settings when hooking up equipment to the optical terminals.

Follow steps 1&2 on page 29 (if necessary).

Use the +/buttons to choose the component that you hooked up with coaxial cords.

Press SETUP to advance to the next receiver setting mode.

Press ENTER if you want to exit the setting mode.
