Getting started

Using the Room Setup

• Default setting: M (medium) / MID

Before using your receiver to enjoy surround sound play- back, we recommend you spend a few minutes using the Room Setup. This is a quick and easy way to get good surround sound for your room.

Depending on the distance of the surround speakers from your main listening position, choose between S (small), M (medium), or L (large) room, then depending on your seating position relative to the front and surround speakers, choose FWD (forward), MID, or BACK.

D.ACCESS

1If the receiver isn’t already on, press RECEIVER to switch it on.

2Press RECEIVER.

3Press ROOM SETUP.

If you have previously set up the room type and seating position, the display will show the current room settings (e.g., S / MID).

4Press ENTER.
5Press ROOM SETUP repeatedly to select a room type then press ENTER.

Choose one of the following depending on your room size:

S – Smaller than average room (approx. 3.5 x 4.5m)

M – Average room (approx. 5.5 x 6.0m)

L – Larger than average room (approx. 7.5 x 9m)

6Press ROOM SETUP repeatedly to select a seating position setting, then press ENTER.

Choose one of the following depending on where your main listening position is:

FWD – If you are nearer to the front speakers than the surround speakers

MID – If you are equal distance from the front and surround speakers

BACK – If you are nearer to the surround speakers than the front speakers

The Room Setup automatically sets up the channel levels and speaker distance according to the room size. If you have already set the channel levels and/or speaker distances manually (see Setting individual channel levels on page 33), you will see ROOM SET in the display when you first press the ROOM SETUP button.

For more detailed surround sound setup, see The System Setup menu on page 31.

Checking the settings on your DVD (or other) player

Before continuing, you may want to check the digital audio output settings on your DVD player and digital satellite receiver.

Check that your DVD player/satellite receiver is set to output Dolby Digital, DTS and 96kHz PCM (2 channel) audio.

If there is an option for MPEG audio, set this to convert the MPEG audio to PCM.

In addition, if you’re playing a DVD disc with more than one audio track, check that you’ve selected the right one.

Depending on your DVD player or source discs you may not be able to output sound from other than digital 2 channel stereo and analog. In this case you need to change the listening mode to SURROUND if you want multichannel surround sound.
