Surround Sound Set Up

3Press the 5 or ° arrow buttons to move the hand to the mode you want. Then press ENTER.

In each mode, the current settings are displayed automatically. We suggest you adjust all these settings when you first hook up the receiver. That gets them out of the way and you won’t need to return to this setting mode unless you change your home set up by adding new speakers (etc.). The sound set up modes explained here are:

Speaker Setting (See p.26-27)

Use to specify the type and number of speakers you connected.

Channel Delay (See p.28)

Set up all your speakers for the most realistic surround sound. Adding a slight delay to some speakers enhances sound separation and is particularly important for achieving a surround sound effect. You need to figure out the distance from your listening position to your speakers to add the proper delay.

CHannel Level (See p.29-30)

Use to balance the volumes of your different speakers.

Crossover Network (See p.31)

This feature lets you select which bass frequencies will be sent to the sub woofer or front speakers.

Bass Peak Level Manager (See p.32)

Dolby Digital and DTS audio sources include ultra-low bass tones. Set the bass peak level as needed to prevent the ultra-low bass tones from distorting the sound from the speakers.

D-Range Control (See p.33)

This feature makes possible excellent surround sound effects when listening to Dolby Digital sources at low volumes.

Digital-In Select (See p.34)

In order to use your digital components you must match the numbered digital input buttons with the numbered digital jacks used by your digital components.

Multi-Room (See p.72-76)

You can set up this unit to power systems in different rooms.

To exit the SYSTEM SETUP MENU and on-screen display press SYSTEM SET UP button again.

After you complete one of the SYSTEM SETUP menus and return to the basic SYSTEM SETUP screen (shown in the diagram directly above labeled 4), the receiver automatically moves the cursor to the next SYSTEM SETUP menu. For example, if you’ve completed SPEAKER SETTING and returned to the basic SYSTEM SETUP screen, CHANNEL DELAY will be selected automatically. You can notice this on your TV screen.
